Warm Your Home and Experience the World

Travel is an exciting experience and passionate pursuit for many people. According to the U.S. Office of Travel and Tourism Industries, more than 25 million Americans traveled overseas between January and October, 2005. It's clear that exploring the world is something that many of us long to do, however with lives that seem to grow busier by the day, traveling to all the places we'd like to experience isn't always possible.

When we do get away, cultural events and festivals are always at the top of our 'must see and do' lists. In fact, 75 percent of U.S. adults who traveled last year attended a cultural activity or event while on their trip, largely for the opportunity to experience a wide range of new sights, flavors and fragrances.

Lately, it's even easier to experience the sights and scents of exotic locations without ever leaving home. One of the newest trends in retail is that of the global marketplace, which carries everything from Asian furniture and home decor items to South American fashion accessories. The increasing number of shops carrying culturally unique items satisfies our desire for travel-related experiences that enhance our everyday lives.

Capitalizing on this delightful new trend, Yankee Candle traveled the world and discovered unique, new fragrances for you to enjoy at home. Their brand new World Fragrance Collection allows you to transform every room of your house with scents from some of the world's most dreamed-of destinations.

For an intriguing dinner filled with Moroccan romance, serve foods seasoned with curry and other North African spices, then complement their spicy scent with that of sweet rose petals. It's as easy as setting the mood with candles scented with the oil of Africa's most prized flower -- like Yankee Candle's Rose of Morocco.

Turn an ordinary meal into a virtual trip to Rio. Put on a Brazilian Samba or Bossa Nova, serve a delectable fruit dessert along with rich cup of dark roast coffee, and get swept away by the exotic scent of Yankee Candle's Brazilian Passion Fruit candle.

Or take a relaxing bath that transports you to the South Pacific. All you have to do is fix yourself a tropical fruit daiquiri, slip into a tub full of hot water and silky soft bubbles, and light a Yankee Candle Tahitian Tiare Flower candle. When you close your eyes, your mind will hear the waves lapping the shore.

Whether you've already traveled to your dream destination or it remains a dream for the future, fragrance has the power to take you where you most want to be, again and again. Let Yankee Candle's new World Fragrance Collection fill your home with all the warmth and passion of the world's most desirable destinations. Visit a Yankee Candle store or go to Yankee Candle and bring the world home to you.
