Yankee Candle - Vanilla Lime vs Key Lime Pie

Good morning, Yankee Candle addicts. 

Today, I thought I'd do something a little bit different. In this post I will be comparing both these candles and giving my overall opinion on the two and which is my overall favourite.  

First, let's talk about Vanilla Lime. I believe this was one of my first large jars I purchased back in December 2013, when my obsession started. 

On the Yankee Candle website this reads;

Smooth and refreshing - the creamy richness of vanilla with sweet cane sugar and a zesty lime twist.

This candle is beautiful, don't get me wrong. It's a very fruity, fresh scent. And I love it on cold sniff. However, once burning, I found it quite underwhelming. The vanilla with the lime is fantastic, a perfect match. But like I said, once burning, I wasn't impressed. 

The presentation of the candle is again beautiful as any other Yankee Candle. The wax is this beautiful lime green colour. The picture is also a lovely image. It seems to be a lovey, cool glass of some kind of cocktail. As ever, looking at the presentation of the candle makes me want to drink/eat whatever is displayed. 

Overall, I'd give this candle a 4 out of 5. 

Next, we'll move into my favourite out of the two. Key Lime Pie. 

Sadly, this doesn't have a description online, so once again I'll try and explain this scent as best I can. 

This candle is a beautiful pure lime scent. I love it. Many people would say it's boring because the only note I can pick up is lime. 

I would have liked a pastry type note in there considering it is a pie dessert. 

The look of this candle is beautiful and in my opinion a bit better than the Vanilla lime. It has a beautiful Key Lime Pie in the foreground which looks so juicy and so good to eat. There's also slices of the pie in the background which also looks amazing and edible. 

Overall, for this candle I would give it 5 out of 5. 

Yes, this isn't for everyone, but I love a good lime scent. And even though it lacks the pastry side, for me it still delivers. 

With all that being said, they're both fantastic candles. But I think for me, personally, I'd go with Key Lime Pie. Though, if you can't get your hands on this one, settling for Vanilla Lime will be worth it.
