Yankee Candle Lemon Lavender jar candle

Yankee Candle is one of the most recognized brands in the home fragrance market. Founded in 1969 by Michael Kittredge in South Hadley, Massachusetts, the company grew from a single homemade gift into a global leader in scented candles. The brand is famous for its wide variety of authentic scents and iconic glass jar packaging.

While the brand maintains a significant manufacturing presence in Massachusetts, USA, production has expanded globally to meet demand, with some components or specific product lines manufactured internationally. Since 2016, the brand has been part of the Newell Brands portfolio, a major American consumer goods conglomerate.

Today, Yankee Candle products are sold through a network of specialty retail stores, department stores, and international distributors, maintaining its status as a household name for home décor and aromatherapy.
