Based on its own research, predictions and expertise as a leader in home fragrance, Yankee Candle spotted an overarching theme for the year and created a candle based upon it. For 2019, 'One Together' is a harmonious, inspiring scent that fuses notes of wood, suide, citrus fruits, sandalwood and the Miracle Flower, which is the first time this scent has ever been used by Yankee Candle. The One Together candle is available in the form of two large, long-lasting candles.
