Yankee Candles.............

[mushumadness]

I am into candles and have them all over the house. On a night we have candles lit all over the lounge, however, I have never bought any Yankee candles. I have bought scented ones before and love them.

Do you find that the Yankee candles have a lot better scent than other scented candles? Do you consider them worth paying the extra cash for?

hiya, I find the scent alot stronger with the yankee candles, and they also last longer, well worth the money

Thanks for that, I thought they must be better with everyone loving them.

I'm trying to get through various large winter jars that I still have from last winter. Pumpkin Spice/Gingerbread/Coconut Cookie Bar/Cider Donut and Roasted Coffee - not all at the same time obviously! I'm quite anal about my candles - I won't burn what I consider to be winter or autumn ones in the spring or summer and vice versa. All remaining Christmas ones are now packed away.

I have started stocking up on some spring tarts: Cucumber and Cantaloupe/Juicy Grapefruit/Cherry Blossom/Dune Grass and Water Garden so far!

Cucumber & Canteloupe is one of my all-time fave aromas - I thought it was discontinued so will go and hunt out some tarts...

Yes I think it is discontinued. I got these on EBay, 2 for under £2 - cheaper than the shops!

Cool - thanks for the info, Joanne. I'm burning Juicy Watermelon at the moment which is "good but it's not right!"

I'm the same. I stopped Tony putting out Lilac Blossom the other day because it's a summer one! I also have Sun and Sand and Mango Peach Salsa for the summer. For the winter I have small jars of Coconut Cookie bar and Vanilla Caramel. At the moment I am burning the last of Sicilian Orange, which is really a summer one but it's on it's last legs and is my last big jar.

Over christmas we were burning a little one (not Yankee candle) that I bought in the Cracker Barrel which was three stripes of three different christmassy scents. It was extremely strong for such a small candle and I will definately look for some more next time we are in Orlando. Can't remember the name of it unfortunately.

so much better than ANY of the others

Yes I totally agree that the Yankee Candles are the best for sure.
Juicy watermelon is my alltime fave as I think it smells a lot like jelly!
There have been a lot of retirements lately - but Macintosh is coming back in April so that will be good.
There are some beautiful accessories out now too, the coral reef ones are lovely.

I am trying to finish of my White Chocolate Mint one today, I have so many to use that I have had to stop buying them!

I normally only stick to Winter smells for winter & summer scents for summer but I have been so fed up with the weather this week that I needed cheerig up! It's working, apart from today I want to eat lots of chocolate.

Bev - you must try them...you won't be disappointed, I don't buy anything other than YC since I discovered them a few years ago.

I just changed the living room one to jelly bean, its my fave one, and the last jar of it I have !!! they had sold out the last time I was over there, its a swirl one

 

[mumloveseeyore]

i have cottage breeze in the lounge, i love the seaside smell, other favouties include sun warmed linen and clean cotton. Gill

I have vanilla cupcake burning in my lounge right now. I had ocean breeze (I think that was what it was called!) in my bathroom earlier whilst I was having a bath. I have vanilla lime in my conservatory. Although seen as we still have so much snow I am thinking of lighting either my jack frost or my huge jar of hollyberry my uncle got me 2 christmases ago (I swear I use it a lot in the winter, but the jar is huge!!) I also love Good Morning, I love the fresh baked cookie smell!!

I LOVE the swirl ones, they are great aren't they.

I bought a Farmers Market in Sparkling Pine at Mall of Millenia, it's really nice, and has little bits of glitter in it. Plus it was only $10 for the large size - can't get better than that - I'm saving it for next Christmas then it will remind me of my holiday!

I have been burning Creme Brulee all day.
