SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 18 October 2019 - Yankee Candle^®, America's best-loved candle, celebrates its 50^th anniversary and ten years in Singapore this year. Founded by Mike Kittredge in 1969, Yankee Candle^® started from humble beginnings as a small retail shop in South Hadley, Massachusetts, after he successfully created a scented candle out of melted crayons for his mother's Christmas gift. Yankee Candle^® has since become the world's most renowned brand of premium scented candles, sharing its passion for fragrance^® by capturing the spirit of each season with its true-to-life scents.

Since Yankee Candle^® opened its first store in Singapore in 2009, the brand has warmed the hearts and homes of many Singaporeans with fragrances from different decades. Local favourites such as MidSummer's Night^®, which has an intense cologne blend, debuted in the 1990s, while sweet vacation scents such as Pink Sands^TM and Bahama Breeze were introduced in 2011. Island Spa is also one of Singapore's top ten best-selling fragrance, and it is exclusively available in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

These all-time favourites from various decades are symbolic of how Yankee Candle^® continuously pushes the boundaries of innovation and excellence by developing new products and exploring new fragrances, to help consumers create a cosy home as they savour special moments.
