The Yankee Candle Scent of the Year is the fresh start you need this spring

A new season calls for a new Yankee Candle. (We don't make the rules, we simply abide by them.) 

Just in time for spring, the 2022 Yankee Candle Scent of the Year, "Inspire," will hit shelves and join the best Yankee Candle scents canon. (Not to play favorites, but "Midnight Jasmine" will always be near and dear to our hearts.)

A citrusy aroma with hints of cedar, seaside driftwood and rainforest lime (to name a few), "Inspire" is meant to evoke a much-needed sense of optimism. Though it will be released on Monday, March 21 in honor of International Fragrance Day, we can't help but point out the coincidental timing: Aries season, a new astrological year and the start of spring. 

Aries' light, hopeful energy—a celestial reset, according to astrologer Renée Watt—is the perfect time to take in all things encouraging, especially after such a tumultuous two years. "Inspire" couldn't be a more appropriate fit. 

Make sure to read our tips for how to make candles last longer because the 60-100 hours burn time for "Inspire" might not be enough, even if you decide to buy multiple jars.
