Review: USA Specials, Botanical large jars

A really cute set with unusual tapestry style labels (closeup images at the bottom of the page) that popped up on QVC during the Yankee Candle anniversary shows, details of price etc at the bottom of this review.

Ocean Treasures - notes of white tea, sandalwood and cool salt air.
Fresh is definitely the best way to describe this. Really pretty and pleasant smelling, I like to burn this in the bathroom, especially on grey, cold days so that the bathroom has a spa-like smell.

Sweet Mandarin - Juicy sweet mandarin oranges.
If you like fruity fragrances then this won't disappoint, smells like a jar full of freshly squeezed oranges. Gives a nice burst of sherbet citrus and quickly envelopes the room but isn't overpowering.

Yankee Candle Botanical Large Jars
Unusual label alert! USA Special alert! Rare, VHTF! 
These were an exclusive set sold through QVC recently for a bargain price of £22 (plus p&p) - remember large jars are usually £21.99 each!

This is the first time I've seen them in the UK and I understand they were exclusively sold through outlet stores in the USA. That makes them VHTF - that's 'very hard to find', an acronym you'll often see on eBay listings and in blogs/reviews. Fandles tend to collect jars for display and that's exactly why I had to have them.

But I did buy an extra set to burn, I mean I had to at that price.
