Other than The American Club and Tangs Department Store, Yankee Candle can now be found in Takashimaya Department Store. In conjunction with Takashimaya's eco-friendly week, Yankee Candle is launching its new Beanswax candles. Not only is the wax made from 100% all-natural soy, it also does not contain any artificial colours or dyes. Even the containers are made of recycled or recyclable materials.

A total of 12 fragrances are available in two sizes - Travel Tin and Medium Tumbler. The travel tins are great for business travellers looking for a more comfortable stay in a hotel.

Each fragrance has a really cool name:

Beat around the Bushel
Honeydew You Love Me
Cran Slam
Make Waves
End of the Line
Over the Moon
Spice Spice Baby
All that Jasmine
Take the Cake
Lime after Lime
Field of Dreams
The Great Pumpkin



My personal favourites are Field of Dreams, which smells like freshly cut grass and Beat around the Bushel, which smells exactly like a crunchy apple.

Beanswax travel tin retails for S$19.90 and the Medium tumbler retails for S$39.90.

Candle lovers will be happy to know that America's best loved candle, Yankee Candle, is now available in Singapore. Its authentic, true-to-life fragrances made with pure, natural extracts are what make Yankee Candle the largest home fragrance brand in the United States.

Yankee Candle is sold in The American Club and Tangs Department Store in Orchard Road and Vivocity.

Its signature Housewarmer candles are available in over 40 fragrances, including such popular ones as Island Spa, Beach Walk, Lemon Lavender and Clean Cotton. Each fragrance comes in Small and Medium jars, as well as tea lights. If you're unsure of which fragrance to pick, you may also buy a Sampler candle at just S$4.90 to try out the fragrance.

Soon, Yankee Candle will become Singapore's best loved candle.
