Yankee candle advent

Treated myself to one of these and opened it this morning. Trouble is there are no markings on the tea light to tell you which fragrance it is. There are 4 different red coloured ones and two different green coloured ones so can't even guess by colour.
I'm just thinking that if I particularly like one, how will I know which one it is to buy a full sized version?
Anyone come across this particular puzzle?

Yes this is me.... Although I was a bit of a Scrooge and bought mine in the summer sales still though you'd have thought last year they would have remembered to put the names on them. My calendar is in the shape of a 50p and the one I got this morning was green.

I have the black house shaped one, from boots I think. Haven't opened today's but yesterday's ( orange) was a bit strong for me

I also have the tree shaped one and todays is white . I think it might be the snowflake cookie fragrance.

loveliesbleeding1 · 02/12/2016 16:06

*house shaped,with a gold tree on it.

LaundryQueenHatesIroning · 02/12/2016 16:22

I think snowflake cookie might be pink in colour.

I have a snowflake cookie votive (left over from last year so they might have changed it though) in my bathroom at the minute!

loveliesbleeding1 · 03/12/2016 17:04

Ahh,really,I wonder which one yesterday's was then

AlwaysNeverOnTime · 04/12/2016 07:37

I don't have a calendar but my snowflake cookie candle is definitely white. (brought a few weeks go)

loveliesbleeding1 · 04/12/2016 12:10

Oh,now im really confused!!

Stitchosaurus · 04/12/2016 12:18

My snowflake cookie from the carousel calendar was pink! In that one, luckily each of the four small ones is a different colour and the bigger ones are labelled.

JemimaMuddledUp · 04/12/2016 12:58

I have the same one as star (January sales purchase). Agree that is really annoying not to know which one is which!

cardboardPeony · 04/12/2016 16:42

Apparently it says on the bottom of the box

JemimaMuddledUp · 04/12/2016 18:37

It doesn't say on mine. It lists the different fragrances, but as four are red and two are green it is difficult to differentiate. Berry Trifle is a bit more purple and cinnamon sparkle is more orange, so I think I've worked them out, but the others are a mystery!

cardboardPeony · 04/12/2016 18:39

Can you compare them to the ones on the website?

JemimaMuddledUp · 04/12/2016 20:19

Impossible to compare with the website as there are loads of red and green ones! I know which 6 are in the calendar, but it would be good to have a label behind the doors saying which one of the 6 each one is.

I have a cheap triangular-shaped tealight one from Tesco which has the varieties listed on the box but no clues when you open the doors. The white one is Winter Morning, the orange one (will be) Sparkling Cinnamon Spice and the red one is Holiday Apple Wreath. I have a green one already too, but not sure if that one is Fresh Winter Woodland (I think it's this one) or Fresh Balsam Fir.

I think the more expensive Yankee advents have different scents though, possibly Candy Cane Lane and Holiday Magic (white and red, respectively).
