Yankee Candle®, a trusted leader in home fragrance for over 50 years, today unveiled its YC Collection, a premium line that redefines the art of scent through the lens of quiet luxury and modern elegance. This launch marks a bold new chapter for the brand, following its Summer 2025 relaunch that introduced a modernized design, enhanced wax blend, and a fragrance-first philosophy. As part of Newell Brands’ commitment to innovation and consumer-centric design, Yankee Candle’s latest launch reflects the company’s broader vision to elevate everyday experiences through thoughtfully crafted products.
Crafted by world-renowned perfumers, the YC Collection blends expert craftsmanship, refined design, and sophisticated fragrance profiles to create a truly elevated experience. Each fragrance is meticulously evaluated to ensure a perfectly balanced scent, transforming home fragrance into a design statement that complements curated interiors.
“We worked with expert perfumers trained in the tradition of fine fragrance to craft a collection that feels as intentional and curated as the homes it lives in,” said Aaron Swart, SVP and GM of Home Fragrance at Newell Brands. “Lighting a candle becomes more than a ritual; it’s a way to express care, comfort and connection in everyday living.”
A Fragrance-First Philosophy Meets Elevated Design
The YC Collection features a proprietary dye-free wax blend and hand-selected natural fiber wicks, engineered for a clean, consistent burn. Each candle is housed in a minimalist vessel with elegantly curved glass, gold detailing, and an embossed metallic lid featuring the YC emblem. Packaging includes soft-touch boxes, watercolor artwork, and gold foil embossing—creating a luxurious, gift-worthy presentation.
The collection includes seven distinct fragrances, each designed to evoke modern sophistication:
Dolce – Lavender, santal and vanilla blended into a subtly sweet, elegant fragrance
Nectar – Velvet peach and golden amber layered with soft blonde woods
Citron – Bright lime, Seville orange and juniper balanced with golden amber
Petal – A graceful bouquet of water lily, solar gardenia and vanilla woods
Marine – Sea spray, cedarwood and musk capturing the essence of a coastal forest
Amber – Tobacco leaf, honeyed cacao and amber woods for a warm, nuanced scent
Birch – Black birch, cedar ash and cardamom inspired by a fireside reverie
