Yankee Candle Launches New Fragrances for Fall 2013

The Yankee Candle Company, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of premium scented candles, today announced the launch of six new Yankee Candle® fragrances and three new fragrances in its contemporary Pure Radiance™ line for fall 2013. Inspired by the quiet moments that make up the season, these new scents evoke moments of indulgence and simplicity. Launched in 2012, Pure Radiance™ by Yankee Candle offers the perfect combination of style and ambiance with a simple, graceful design that compliments any home décor while the soothing crackling flame creates a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. The new fall fragrances in both lines are available for purchase now at Yankee Candle’s more than 557 retail stores, www.yankeecandle.com and select specialty retailers and gift shops.

“We wanted to offer our customers a way to welcome the season with the colors, scents and sights associated with fall,” said Hope Margala Klein, executive vice president brand, design and innovation for The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. “These fragrances remind us of simple days curled up in a soft and cozy sweater enjoying a delectable treat while taking in the crisp fall air.”

November Rain™ – A quiet interlude of the season is reflected in this airy, refreshing mix of watery leaf notes, warm amber and crisp brisk air.

Lake Sunset™ – The serene beauty of the sun’s golden rays as they dip into still blue waters, calling to mind the musky descent of nightfall.

Vanilla Chai – It’s the perfect accompaniment to “me” time – a supremely satisfyingly rich and spicy recipe of ginger, cinnamon and vanilla.

Salted Caramel – Sweet surrender is yours with our luscious gourmand confection of burnt sugar, sea salt, and smooth vanilla caramel.

Cozy Sweater™ – Ooh, there’s nothing quite as comfy as curling up in a sweater, soft as a flower petal, with warm touches of musk and patchouli.

Pumpkin Wreath – An open invitation… the welcoming aroma of fall pumpkins infused with earthy oak wood, hearty cinnamon bark and clove. (Pumpkin Wreath is only available in Yankee Candle Retail Stores and on-line).

Pear – Bursting with the sweet perfume of perfectly ripe, just-picked juicy pears.
