Wow, I really enjoyed this large jar of Fall Festival. I bought it at the Yankee Candle Village in Deerfield, MA this past September. It was a Treasure that my husband picked out!
I reviewed Fall Festival in January, but was finally able to finish it off now that I live in Maryland with my husband. You can read the full review here: https://yankeecandlesisters.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/fall-festival/
The Scent: Fall Festival is the ultimate autumnal spice blend candle! the picture on the candle is slightly deceiving, as there is no fruit notes. It’s a welcomed change from the norm of apple and pumpkin scents. Fall Festival is a warm blend of maple and brown sugar with underlying notes of walnut, caramel, clove, and citrus peel. It is a wonderful and warm spice blend that is truly autumnal. B+
The Throw: The throw was slightly above average, giving it a medium-level throw. It filled up my living room with a gentle but medium throw that made my entire apartment smell warm and inviting! The wax pool never got that big, so the slightly less than amazing throw could be due to the shallow wax pool (but on the plus, shallow wax pool meant longer burn time!). B
Overall, I really enjoyed this candle scent!

I’d love to try this!!
I have loved and burned Fall Festival for years; it’s one of my all-time favorites. I have several older jars stashed, and they throw like mad since YC seems to have used a higher concentration of oils “back then”. The walnuts in this make it for me. I am also a big fan of Maple Walnut, and have a few older jars stashed of that one too.
Love Maple Walnut! This candle was was beyond my expectations. It was like a combo of all my retired favorites: Maple Walnut, Creamy Caramel, Cinnamon & Sugar! Loved it and wished I could have tried it when it was part of the original (non-treasure) line-up!
