House Staple

I have always been a huge fan of Yankee Candles. Growing up in the states, Yankee Candles were everywhere and were essentially a staple. If you needed a candle, and nicely scented one at that, it was always the go-to.

I will say at first glance, the scent was incredibly over-powering out of the box. But once I got used to it, the scent was actually quite pleasant. I didn’t the think the scent would be so apparent without even lighting the candle - goes to show how long it’s been since I’ve lit a scented candle, especially with a toddler running around the house.

Balsam & Cedar is actually quite a pleasant scent, especially if you have a love of trees and Christmas. It’s got a very nice cedar, Christmas-y fragrance, with a small hint of citrus, unless I’m just thinking that up in my head.

Back in the day - which just makes me sound old cuz I’m remembering back to the early 2000’s, Yankee Candles had a very specific look to them with a glass cap. These are open candles without any closures which makes for a very sleek modern and unique coloured glass jar to match the dark green coloured candle. I would say the only thing about this candle that left me disappointed was the lack of a closure - for the sake my nostalgia, and the potential dust that could cover it over time if I didn’t finish using the candle in time.

Thanks so much to @thisisbutterly and @yankeecandle for sending me this pack in exchange for my honest review.

Lovely Scent

This candle has a great scent and quickly fills up the room. I will be perfect for the fall/winter weather.
The design of the candle jar is also pretty!

Very strong scent

Very strong scent more than im used to but the Baltimore and Cedar smell was really nice. I usually buy 100% organic soy or coconut candles but this was a big change for me and it’s made with essential oils which is really nice. It really made my bath experience better and the smell last forever i cant wait to burn this again.

Absolutely gorgeous

I absolutely love this candle! The look is minimalistic which I love and can fit into any space. The scent is inviting, warm and just right! I’ve always been a fan of Yankee candle and they didn’t disappoint with this!

This is great for an unwind session

I love the aesthetic this candle provides, the design and the color is amazing. the fragrance is very woody and strong, but I love woody fragrances and I see myself using this more in the future. I mostly use candles on cleaning days and this is gonna be amazing as it smells very green and natural and very clean. I would love to try the other flavors too. I received this free from butterly for review purposes.
