Yankee Candle The Last Paradise

Yankee Candle is one of the world's most recognized brands in the home fragrance industry. Originally founded in 1969 by Michael Kittredge in South Hadley, Massachusetts, the company began as a small business after Kittredge created his first candle from melted crayons as a gift for his mother. The brand became famous for its signature glass jar candles and authentic scents.

Today, Yankee Candle is part of a large multinational portfolio. Since 2016, it has been owned by Newell Brands, a major American consumer goods company. While the corporate headquarters for the candle division remain in Massachusetts, manufacturing is distributed globally to serve international markets. Most candles for the North American market are produced in their Massachusetts facilities, while others are manufactured in various locations, including Europe and Asia, to meet global demand.
