Yankee Candle Brings Fall Spirit to Life in New 2014 Fragrances

The Yankee Candle Company, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of premium scented candles, today announced the launch of eight new Yankee Candle® fragrances in both its classic jar form and contemporary Pure Radiance™ line for fall 2014. Inspired by the scents, sounds and sweet treats swirling through the air throughout this beloved season, this new line captures the autumn aura in a potpourri of rich earth tones and fresh fragrance notes. Yankee Candle’s fall offerings are available for purchase now at Yankee Candle’s more than 500 retail stores, www.yankeecandle.com and select specialty retailers and gift shops while supplies last.

“The invigorating energy that fills the air during fall makes this cherished time more of a feeling than a season,” said Hope Margala Klein, executive vice president brand, design and innovation for The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. “Whether it’s the crisp smell of fresh-fallen leaves or the comforting aroma of coffee on a chilly fall morning, our new line allows our customers to create a cozy autumn atmosphere in their homes and gatherings throughout the season.”
