Yankee Candle® has become the number 1 most-recognised name in the candle business and the country's best selling candle brand by sharing our customers' “passion for fragrance” in every product we bring to market.

Today, with over 150 fragrances, they offer the world's largest and most compelling selection of candle and home fragrance scents. In addition to the renowned Housewarmer® line of scented candles, they also provide a wide range of seasonal and specialty scented candles, home fragrance products, car fresheners and candle accessories.

Along with the regular introduction of new Yankee Candle products and fragrances, they've also grown by adding other brands to our portfolio, including Aroma Naturals® brand of pure, natural aromatherapy candles and related products and Illuminations, which designs and markets premium scented candles, candle accessories, and other home decor products.

The majority of the candles are made by master chandlers (candlemakers) in the advanced manufacturing facilities in Massachusetts. They sell the candles and other products through a growing USA base of over 450 company-owned retail stores (423 Yankee Candle stores and 27 Illuminations stores). They also have a vibrant and growing catalog and online business, an expanding North American wholesale customer network (including approximately 17, 500 specialty retailers in the U.S.), a Yankee Candle Fund-Raising division, and an international distribution.
