As a collector, I was really excited to see all the amazing USA fragrances and rare labels that featured throughout the day. QVC have featured so many fragrances with the USA portrait label jars lately (which are USA outlet exclusives) so I HAD to order the Christmas Holiday collection for my treasure wall. The smell was almost secondary at the time, but after having my first sniff of them... WOW! What a set! Each fragrance is so different to the next, but each are distinctly festive.
Holiday Plum
Gorgeous! I'm a huge fan of Black Plum Blossom (so much so that I'm burning it right now!) and I was hoping that there would be similarities between the two. Holiday Plum is Black Plum Blossom's sweeter sister. The plum notes are there with a delicious sweetness. If you're familiar with Sugared Apple, then you'll know how Yankee Candle do sugary scents so well. This is not a rich, deep fragrance like it's sister, but a delicious, sweet scent. I think it also has a very subtle cinnamon tone too which really gives it that festive twist.

Bayberry
I have to admit, I'm not 100% sure what bayberry smells like, but as soon as I sniffed this candle, I smelt Christmas straight away. A real pine fragrance really makes this smell as if you have a Christmas tree in the room with you. There's a real spiciness to it too. This is probably the most layered fragrance out of the three with so many notes. the description lists the fragrance as a blend of pine, fir, laurel, bayberry, frankincense and myrrh.
Chocolate Peppermint
Oh my word what a fragrance! I expected this one to be very rich, but it has an icy freshness to it. The peppermint is so bold and immediately hits you. The chocolate element is so subtle but really rounds off the fragrance. Dare I say that this one can easily be compared to an After Eight mint. But c'mon, who doesn't enjoy them at Christmas?!
The set is available from the QVC UK website HERE for £29.94 and is also available on three easy payments of £9.98. I can't recommend this set enough. I just love how each candle is so distinct, but together make a perfect set.
