Reese’s Book Club x Yankee Candle collaboration has fans thrilled
Cozying up on the couch with a good book, a warm blanket and your favorite candle burning sets the perfect scene for an evening well spent, but think about how this setting could be elevated even further if that candle actually paired with the book you were reading! The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. has teamed up with Reese Witherspoon’s literary community, Reese’s Book Club, for a fresh new line of products any book lover is sure to enjoy. Over the course of the year, limited-edition fragrances will be released that pair with one of the reading selections Reese has chosen for that particular season—and you can already get your hands on the first one!
Yankee Candle and Reese Witherspoon collab is a reader’s dream!
Reese and Yankee Candle’s year-long collaboration means new scents will be released quarterly, and with 2026 already underway, the first scent, A Fresh Chapter, has arrived and is ready for purchase! January’s monthly read happened to be The First Time I Saw Him by Laura Dave (the followup to her book The Last Thing He Told Me), and fans can now get their hands on the perfect scent to burn while reading this Reese Witherspoon favorite. “Inspired by a shared theme of new beginnings that are both energizing and reassuring, the Yankee Candle and Reese’s Book Club pairing reflects how consumers often turn to reading and scent during moments of reflection, comfort and emotional connection,” explained a press release about the collab. “Bright notes of pomelo capture the spark of a first impression, blooming roses echo vulnerability and romance, and warm amber brings a sense of confidence and ease, creating a fragrance designed to complement the emotional arc of the story as it unfolds.”
For $34.99, you can purchase A Fresh Chapter in an original jar, or, you can pick up a three- wick candle for $26.99.
When does the rest of the Reese Witherspoon x Yankee Candle collab drop?
According to the Yankee Candle website, the brand will launch a new scent to go with each season. While there isn’t yet an exact release date for each fragrance, the site indicates that shoppers can expect new options for spring, summer and winter—and we can’t wait!
