We’ve found the perfect ‘long-lasting’ home scent for spring with Yankee Candle’s Mango Peach Salsa Large Jar candle, and we know where to shop it with £10 off
There’s nothing better than filling your home with a lovely scent, and Yankee Candles large jar candles are most people’s go-to. If you’re trying to find a great home fragrance for spring, but want to avoid the typical floral scents, then this might be the perfect thing.
The Mango Peach Salsa Large Jar candle swaps flowers for fresh, fruity smells that feel like spring. But whilst they’re usually priced at £29.99 for the large jar, it’s now on sale on Amazon for just £19.09, saving you almost £11.

Measuring 10cm wide and 17cm high, it has a burn time of up to 150 hours and is made with a 100% natural fibre cotton wick to make sure it burns cleanly with no black soot. It’s also made with authentic ingredients and premium wax, according to Yankee Candle, which means it melts evenly so you don’t get any of that annoying tunnelling.
As with all Yankee Candles, it also comes with a lid which lets you preserve the scent between uses. The Mango Peach Salsa Large Jar candle has notes of juicy mango and peach (of course) combined with citrus, ginger flowers and pink pepper, so you get a zesty, fruity and slightly spicy scent.
These kinds of fragrances are taking over from traditional florals at the minute, and there’s plenty of them around right now. At Cult Beauty, the Nest New York Sunlit Yuzu & Neroli Classic Candle is a pricier option at £50, but has a beautifully light and fresh scent.
Alternatively, Dunelm’s Pineapple & Pomelo Multi Wick Candle is just £8, with multiple wicks to ensure it burns more evenly. Candles always end up being a key piece of decor, and not just for their ambient lighting, which is why we love Oliver Bonas’ Italian Spritz Orange & Bergamot Scented Candle which is £12.50 and comes in a Mediterranean-inspired tin.
Another we can’t wait to make the centrepiece of our coffee table is the Mise En Place Fruity Tuscan Zest Ceramic Candle from Anthropologie, which comes in a lovely – and very on trend – striped ceramic jar. Priced at £26, it has notes of lemon zest sparkles and lime, wild bergamot, tangy mandarin, Amalfi orange and a subtle touch of white pomelo, making this a holiday in the Med in a jar.
But if you’re a die-hard Yankee Candle fan, you’ll want to snap up the Mango Peach Salsa Large Jar candle whilst it’s on sale. Shoppers have also loved it, with one saying it’s: “Punchy, tropical, and long-lasting — solid candle that lifts the room with fruity freshness.”
Another said it was a “Beautiful fruity fragrance”, whilst another agreed: “Lovely scent and the usual YC quality.”
Some were slightly more underwhelmed, with one saying: “This particular one is strange, when it’s not lit it smells absolutely incredible!!! The moment you light it … everything stops no idea why? Maybe it’s just me I genuinely couldn’t smell this one sorry guys.”
Whilst another said: “This candle smelt really nice, but I bought it mainly for the lovely yellow colour advertised. When it arrived it appeared a lot more orange in colour. If it wasn’t for the colour I would have kept it, but it didn’t go with the colour theme I have.”
However others loved it, saying: “Really good strong scent and burns beautifully.”
With another adding: “Pleased with the scent, not too strong but powerful enough for a large room. Fruity, fresh and not too sweet and cloying.”
