Yankee Candle Company in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, has a startling array of candles in every kind of fragrance imaginable.
Can you even begin to fathom a place that offers 400,000 candles in 200 different scents? No wonder a sign outside reads "Scenter of the Universe."
Scores of families travel to the flagship store, not just for candles, but because there are so many imaginative displays. The company describes itself as a place where "magic comes to life" and that is not far from the truth. It's really quite an enchanting place.
From the rows of pansies greeting visitors outside to animated figures, candle dipping, and of course, shopping inside, this is a really fun place to visit.
Christmas is year-round at Yankee Candle Company. Look who lives here:
Check out all the displays below to get an idea of what one can see there. Each is mesmerizing and allows visitors to become children again as they gaze in wonder at all the colorful details of villages in miniature!

Wow oh Wow! I wanna go there. Just walking into one of their stores is pure bliss so this flagship store must just be heavenly. I love vanilla and cinnamon and the smells of baking like pumpkin pie or tiramisu. Divine! What a lovely place to visit. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy
I love Yankee candles! I burned fewer candles though these days. About four years ago, my mother's home burned although not from a candle. However, once you have dealth with the ash,smoke and destruction you never feel quite the same about smelling smoke or seeing flame.I will still burn a candle occasionally if I sit right beside it! Yankees are my favorites!
Oh, what a wonderful place to visit. Scenter of the Universe; I like that! I love the scent of roses and evergreen. Have a lovely week.
Blessings,
Sandi
Um-- I am so allergic to candles and I love them!
Hi Susan! You live near the greatest places! I love many different candle scents, depending on the time of the year. Right now I love Clean Cotton, and any Beach scents!
Hi Susan just bought a clean cotton one as a fund-raiser - love the smell! I gave it to FLyboy for Easter in his "basket." This place looks wonderful. Glad to see Old Saint Nick - did you know that today is Rudolph Day? I'm posting something about it later.

I rarely burn any candles...so afraid of a fire but I enjoy them at other people's homes. The miniatures are darling in your photos.
Love Yankee candles! I love vanilla!
I've always wanted to go there... I'm a Yankee Candle addict :p
Scenter of the Universe - love it.
I love vanilla candles! Actually just gave my daughter a Buttercream Yankee Candle for her birthday today.
Blessings,
