Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home, inspired by Yankee Candle Home Sweet Home

Cinnamon is the backbone here, and it arrives straight away with apple, like a spiced fruit pie. Nutmeg deepens the spice, cherry adds a dark, sweet fruitiness and juniper berry gives a resinous, gin-like freshness that keeps it from going syrupy. Coumarin, the hay- and almond-like note found in tonka beans, joins musk in the base for a smooth, sweet finish.

About the original

Home Sweet Home is a Yankee Candle fragrance sold under a registered name and filed by the brand under Sweet & Spicy. Yankee Candle describes it as a heart-warming blend of cinnamon, baking spices and freshly poured tea. Its listed allergens include cinnamal and eugenol, materials typical of cinnamon and clove. The original is a home fragrance, not a personal perfume.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Yankee Candle stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Cinnamon dominates, which makes this a scent for spice lovers above all. It feels homely and sweet rather than sophisticated or fresh. A buyer who finds cinnamon cloying, or reminiscent of air freshener, should look elsewhere.

Notes of the original fragrance, as published by the brand.

Top notes: Apple, Cinnamon Spice

Heart notes: Nutmeg, Cherry, Juniper Berry

Base notes: Coumarin, Musk

Apple and cinnamon spice open it, fruity and immediately spicy.

Nutmeg, cherry and juniper berry add depth and a little tartness in the heart.

Coumarin and musk round it off with a smooth, hay-sweet base.

Is Home Sweet Home a perfume?

No. Yankee Candle sells it as a scented candle. Our perfume takes its cinnamon-and-apple profile and makes it wearable on skin.

How much cinnamon is in Home Sweet Home?

Cinnamon leads the official notes and the listed allergens point the same way, so expect it to be the main character rather than a background spice.
