Yankee candle review:  magical frosted forest

Picture
Picture
My Review for:   Yankee Candle - MAGICAL FROSTED FOREST
Size:  22 oz. Double Wick Tumble

Yankee Candle Description: An enchanted place where icy breezes playfully dance through tall, snow-coated pines.


                                           Official Fragrance Notes:
                                        Top: Icy Eucalyptus, Frozen Strawberry Leaf, Raspberry Ice
                                        Mid: Pine Needles, Balsam Fir, Crushed Pineapple
                                        Base: White Cedar, Tonka Bean, Golden Amber

                        
Sledding at Pat Root's House...

  • When I was a kid, I grew up in the country. Fletcher, Vermont to be specific. I have some of my most vivid memories, attached to scent, growing up there. My childhood wasn't perfect, but until I was 10, it was pretty damn good. My parent's, my older brother, and I grew up in a 3 story converted farmhouse with more acres of woods than I can even fathom owning now. In the winter, our backyard was an Evergreen lover's paradise. We had towering and majestic, 100+ year old trees all over our property. My winters' smelled like fresh snow, pine cones, pine needles, and wood stoves. To this day, whenever I smell someone's wood stove, I breathe it in as deeply as I can. Mmmmm....childhood.
 
  • Mike and I have only had one real tree in nearly seven years together. My old apartment had an open floor plan and high ceilings, perfect spacing for a Christmas Tree. I'll never forget how Mike decorated our beautiful tree with Jason Varitek baseball cards. Jason Varitek was the captain of the Red Sox, and I always lusted after him. Maybe it was the beard.... ANYWAY, obviously I have amazing memories tied to the smell of REAL Christmas Trees. Sadly, our current apartment just doesn't have room to house one. I read nearly all the reviews for "Christmas tree" scented candles on Yankee Candle's website. They all sounded similar, with just a few notes different. Many reviewers said the same thing: "this smells like REAL Christmas tree!". It's hard to choose ONE scent out of the many, many offered. I finally settled on Magical Frosted Forrest because the name reminded me of the winter woods, out in the country. Could it really smell like Fletcher?
 
  • On cold sniff, I smelled almost a minty top note, along with a fairly authentic pine/pine cone middle. Then the fragrance is easily overwhelmed with Eucalyptus, tickling your nose and getting caught in your throat like Vick's Vapor-Rub. Finally, there was just a hint of a clean, soapy fragrance, almost undetectable, but definitely there.
 
  • My immediate concern was whether this candle smelled like trees in a forest . I can confirm that this candle smells just like that. Less a "Christmas Tree" scent and more of a "surrounded by pine trees, walking in the forest, LOOKING for the perfect tree" experience. I hope that makes some kind of sense to you but I know not everyone grew up in New England. When the candle is burning, you smell much less of the Eucalyptus, and MORE of the softer pine/woods/snowy notes. If you are looking for something that smells like the tree itself, I would recommend checking out one of their other MANY scents, listed on the website. HOWEVER, if you want to smell what it feels like to slide down a hill with the other neighborhood kids in the country at Pat Root's house, with fresh snow and Pine Trees all around you, stock up on this candle! This is a seasonal scent, so supply is limited now, but I will DEFINITELY be repurchasing next fall/winter. The throw is very good, filling my living room, but not overwhelming. This particular scent is perfect for gift giving too, as I can't imagine many people would dislike the scent of a Magical Frosted Forrest!

Fragrance:10/10
-Throw: 8/10
​-Performance:  4/10
​
-Overall: B+

Yankee Candle Review: ALL IS BRIGHT

Picture

My Review for:   Yankee Candle- ALL IS BRIGHT
​Size:  22 oz. Large Jar Candle

Yankee Candle Description: A blend of sparkling citrus scents drifting on warm musk.

                                            Fragrance Notes:
                                        Top: Grapefruit, Orange
                                        Mid: Red Currant
                                        Base: Sweet Musk


Warm, Sugar Sprinkled Currant w/ Citrus Notes.
​
  • I haven't bought many Yankee Candles the last couple of years, but I couldn't pass up their 5/55$ large candle deal. This is the first one I got and it's burning in my living room right now. On cold sniff, you are definitely hit in the face with a strong citrus smell. Mostly, I smell the grapefruit, but I also smell orange/orange peel, possibly mandarin leaf, and at the very base, almost a light floral undertone. I am assuming that is the musk base.
 
  • Upon burning, It has a lovely soft warm body with notes of sugar and citrus. The main scent is the currant, which is a different scent in itself. Not a lot of candles smell like this. Blended all together, this is an inoffensive, inviting winter fragrance perfect for Netflix binge watching while the snow falls outside your window. It's like a warm fire wrapped in a hug. Lots of holiday candles smell the same, so if you want to try something other than apples and cinnamon, spicy and piney scents, give this candle a try.
 
  • I give this scent 9/10. I would definitely repurchase. Added Bonus It has excellent throw.. It's throw is a 10/10. Out of the 5 candles I bought, this was my favorite and the most fragrant. My whole living room smells lovely from just this one candle sitting on my coffee table. All is Bright seems like a seasonal scent, as Yankee Candle is phasing it out of their online inventory. Hopefully we will see it again next year. I hope I grabbed an extra jar because not only do I love the smell of this candle, it  also makes a great gift since it's a scent everyone could enjoy.

-Fragrance: 9/10
-Throw: 10/10
-Performance:  10/10
-Overall: A+
(it doesn't get much better than this!)
