Yankee Candle and Reese's Book Club, the literary community founded by Reese Witherspoon and part of Hello Sunshine, are teaming up to drop quarterly limited-edition fragrances and experiential activations that appeal to book lovers and candle lovers alike.
Like a good book, candles provide a sense of escape, and fans of both brands can anticipate a collection of four exclusive candle fragrances in 2026, each designed to complement the book club's seasonal reading themes. The first of the Yankee Candle x Reese's Book Club Collection is A Fresh Chapter, made to match the essence of The First Time I Saw Him by Laura Dave, with bright notes of pomello, rose, and warm amber to hint at the emotional arc of the story, and the thrill of first impressions.
