But recently, I tried to go back to that page, and it was GONE! No more Mixology. So I searched the Interweb to find an archive of the Mixology combination's that I couldn't get enough of, and I found a lot of them... In fact, I found mixes from past years that I had never heard of!
While searching for these archives, I came across an article written by Yankee Candle themselves on Facebook, explaining how you can create your own personalized scents. I assume this was written just before the removal of the Mixology page; anywho, I decided to try some of my own.
Below is a list of my favorite tri-combination's, and if you love other-worldly scents, you must try them!
- Chills in the Forest = Mountain Lodge + Midsummer's Night + Patchouli
- Imagine you are deep in the forest, and you spot an abandoned house... tempted, you go inside. Perhaps this is what you would smell.
- Recalling the Past = Midsummer's Night + Fresh Cut Roses + Home Sweet Home
- Good scent to preform a seance to.
- Total Escape = Sun & Sand + Ocean Water + Dune Grass
- An all-inclusive trip to the coastline... don't forget the sunscreen!
- Arabian Meditation = Drift Away + Beach Walk + Cinnamon Stick
- Cinnamon is more recently being recognized for it's calming effects, despite its spicy quality. Combined with scents reminiscent of cool and relaxing waters, this scent will lift all negativity from you.
- Asian Slumber = Midsummer's Night + Green Bamboo + Evening Air
- Imagine traveling to China, and falling asleep amongst the green bamboo reeds.
- Eye of the Storm = Storm Watch + Cottage Breeze + Drift Away
- For those who feel as if they are caught in a storm themselves, just remember: Even if everything around you is in chaos, deep within, everything is remains at peace.
- Hallucinations = Tahitian Tiare Flower + Patchouli + Drift Away
- Inspired by 70's tie-dye, this scent will help to put a nasty situation into a pleasant perspective.
- Summer is for the Birds = Midnight Jasmine + Water Garden + Sweet Honeysuckle
- Birds fly south for the winter, so show your appreciation for the summer by burning these scents and whistle a tune!
- Ultimate Herbality = Lemon Lavender + Sage & Citrus + Lilac Blossoms
- A more sensible way to enjoy the effects of Hallucinations; also, reminiscent of sipping herbal tea while receiving a massage.
- Mer-vana = Ocean Water + Velvet Petals + Amber Glow
- Think magical bonfires! Nuf said. B-|
- Snow Speckled Wood = Mountain Pine + Balsam & Cedar + Sparkling Snow
- Snow sparkles on pine needles as you peer out your sitting-room window!
- Frosted Roses = Fresh Cut Roses + Sparkling Snow + Snow Berry
- Like Beauty and the Beast, a rose can glitter by magic... even if that magic is a bit of seasonal change!
- Crisp Winter Lovin' = Mistletoe + Sparkling Snow + Red Berry & Cedar
- Imagine kissing your true love under the mistletoe... then maybe some snow angels, if you catch my snow-drift?
- Log Cabin = Mountain Pine + Jack Frost + Sparkling Snow
- Everyone needs a snowed-in getaway in a log cabin in Colorado!
- Witch's Pumpkin Patch = Patchouli + Spiced Pumpkin + Midsummer's Night
- I don't know why a witch would have a pumpkin patch... they go together like box terriers and catnip. Why can't we all just get along?
- Vanilla Fall = Vanilla Pumpkin + Moonlight Harvest + Lavender Vanilla
- Calling all vanilla lovers! An autumnal scent that's both sweet and savory.
- Pear it with This = Orchard Pear + Midsummer's Night + Moonlight Harvest
- A twist on fruity scents; this lightly fruited scent it deepened by the rich muskiness of night and the clear, cool scent of the moon.
- Sweet Home Alabama = Willow Breeze + Sweet Violet + Midsummer's Night
- This scent was inspired by Blanche Devaroux from the Golden Girls, and her scandalous encounters "under the magnolia tree," and various other sweet-scented shrubbery.
- Delirium = Stargazer Lily + Sun & Sand + Midsummer's Night
- Basically, an aromatheraputic version of Sex On The Beach.
- Fall-ing in Love = Midsummer's Night + Citrus & Sage + Spiced Pumpkin
- Created for those who don't like Autumn... I wouldn't know why anyone doesn't like the Fall, temperature regulates itself like in the Spring, and everyone loves the Spring! This scent will warm you up to the idea of the changing seasons.
- Crinkling Leaves = Moonlight Harvest + Autumn Wreath + Pumpkin Pie
- What do we all look forward to when the leaves start to fall? Midnight strolls as our feet crunch through the leaves, coming home to the welcoming brown leaf-scattered porch, and a nice big piece of pumpkin pie!
- Bobbing for Apples = Autumn Leaves + Macintosh + Lakeside Birch
- A fall staple; apples, succulent trees, and those crunchy leaves!
- Beware the Gingerbread House = Beware! + Moonlight Harvest + Mulling Spices
- You smell those awesome Thanksgiving smells of stuffing and pie, and you just can't resist... even a strange house made out of candy wouldn't stop you!
- Sweet and Spicy Elixir = Harvest + Macintosh Spice + Pomegranate Cider
- Kinda reminds me of a Hot Toddy... sweet and spicy, and the absolute perfect thing to warm you up AND take the edge off after holiday shopping!
- Winter Morning = Holiday Bayberry + Frosty Air + Early Sunrise
- I always feel like I'm the only one who says, "It smells like winter!" No one knows what it means... but after smelling the combination of Frosty Air and Early Sunrise, I hope I won't be! Add that to the sweet smell of your home during the holidays, and you've got one bangin' scent!
- Eye of the Storm: The Sequel = Storm Watch + Eucalyptus + Spa Fresh
- First scent not work its wonders on you like you thought it would? Try this: Eucalyptus fumes had been know for centuries to chemically relax the mind, and a lil' spa scent couldn't hurt!
- Fall Festival = Farmer's Market + Mandarin Cranberry + Mulling Spices
- Nothing like hitting up a town festival and sampling local goods.
Wondering why all of the combinations are in 3's? Well, Yankee Candle is currently selling triple-candle votive holder, which allows all three candles to melt into each other; they don't sell a double-candle votive holder for whatever reason, and I wish they did, but for now, the more the merrier will just have to do.
How can you create your own custom scent? Add a base, such as Midsummer's Night, to one of your favorite scents, to deepen or uplift an old classic. I love the smell of Tahitian Tiare Flower, and Midsummer's night smells like my boyfriend (Yankee states that many of its female customer's agree that it smells like their boyfriends), so I combined the two candles, and it smelled like US, and I LOVED it! Want to lighten a fragrance? Try pairing it with Vanilla! The possibilities are endless, at least until you consult a mathematician.
