Yankee Candle was born when Mike Kittredge sat at his kitchen table on a cold December evening. Christmas was approaching, and he had no money to buy his mother a great gift. He decided to make a unique candle. A neighbor saw the candle and wanted it immediately. He sold it and bought new materials to make more candles – one for his mother and one for sale. This is how the Yankee Candle brand was created. Since 1969, it has shared its passion for fragrances with the world. Stringent testing and quality control ensure the quality. Yankee Candle is made by professional candlemakers. Each newly developed candle is a complex system of specially blended wax, a unique wick, and a carefully crafted fragrance developed by master perfumers. Each scent is carefully selected, checked, and tested to ensure a special fragrance experience in your home.
