Yankee Candle

Yankee Candle is a specialist home fragrance brand known for scented candles and its distinctive jar designs. The brand began in 1969 when founder Mike Kittredge created a scented candle as a Christmas gift. Interest in his handmade candles led to the development of the Yankee Candle business. Over time, its fragrance-led approach helped establish the brand within the home fragrance market.

The brand has kept candles at its core while updating how it presents them. The apothecary jar that's now synonymous with Yankee Candle arrived in 1974, and photography-led labels followed in the 1990s. Since then, the range has expanded to include newer candle formats and the Signature collection. The original heritage now sits alongside a broad fragrance library and regular seasonal releases.

Candles remain the heart of the range, spanning Original Jars, Signature Jars, tumblers and smaller formats for different rooms and budgets. Fragrances run from fresh, floral and citrus notes through to fruity, woody and sweet profiles. With familiar names like Clean Cotton, Black Cherry and Midsummer's Night appearing across several sizes. It's a range built to suit living rooms, bedrooms and home offices alike.

Fragrance at Yankee Candle isn't limited to candles either. Reed diffusers, ScentPlug plug-ins and their refills offer flameless alternatives, while wax melts and burners provide another way to scent a room. The range is rounded out with candle accessories, gift sets and car fragrances, giving shoppers plenty of ways to bring the same scent into different parts of the home.
