Yankee Candle Issues Limited ‘Love Is Love’

The Yankee Candle Company announces the creation of a new, limited-edition fragrance, Love is Love, to raise awareness of global nonprofit Rainbow Railroad‘s mission to provide pathways to safety for LGBTQIA+ people at risk in their home countries. Launching in May, Love is Love celebrates love in all its forms, with a unique and harmonious blend of fragrance notes including sweet fruits, inspiring florals and warm woods.

In recognition of its commitment to diversity, inclusion and belonging, Yankee Candle will donate $100,000 to Rainbow Railroad to support their work helping LGBTQIA+ individuals facing state-enabled persecution find safety worldwide.

“We’re proud to be supporting Rainbow Railroad’s important cause. Together, we can not only work to eliminate discrimination and hate, but we can also champion acceptance and impact change, not just throughout Pride month, but the whole year,” said Lisa McCarthy, President of the Home Fragrance Business Unit, Newell Brands. “The work that Rainbow Railroad does truly ties into our core corporate values of Truth, Transparency, Teamwork and Trust, and the crucial role each value plays in helping individuals find their way to safety.”

The limited-edition Love Is Love fragrance was designed by a global employee initiative at Yankee Candle and is available in two 3-wick candle designs. Celebrate Pride with a Pride 3-Wick Candle and Tote Bag for $30 at Yankee Candle retail stores, or a single 3-Wick Candle for $26.50 at YankeeCandle.com and select retailers in May.
