I'm still trying to get the mental image of "jowl meat" out of my head. I keep seeing Richard Nixon's head on a plate.

Yankee candles

I spent 22 bucks on an Autumn Wreath Houswarmer Yankee candle the other day...and for that price I expected knock-me-down scent for days. Well I lit it and put it in my upstairs bathroom and it spelled pretty good. Then the next day when i lit it I noticed it didn't seem quite as strong. Well today I lit it and i can barely smell it though it's been lit for hours. I have kept the lid on it when not in use. What a waste of money!

I used to buy my candles from an online candle company called Two Blue Candle Co but she went out of busiess and obviously Yankee isn't doing it for me. Anybody got any suggestions on how to get my candle "stink" fix?

yankee candles
I love my Yankee candles! I'm really shocked you don't smell yours. I buy them regularly. Do you keep your wick trimmed? Every once in a while, when the candle is hot, I may have to scrape the sides of the glass so it it all melts but I can't complain. Also, when the wick totaly burns out and there is still a bit in the bottom, I set the glass in my burner and it still smells good! Maybe you should take it back and see if they will let you exchange it???

I don't burn candles from Yankee, but
I use those wax tarts in a tart warmer, and I found that the ones from Yankee smell the longest. They give off more of a smell in your house than candles do. Plus you can get an electric warmer, so you don't have to worry about the flame if you have animals or such, as I do. Works much better for me, just a suggestion.

Yankee candles update

I was actually able to take the used candle back to the store and exchange it. I ended up getting a biscotti Wood Wick (Virginia Candle Co) candle that smells wunnnderful..i haven't lit it yet...but I did get a few of the Yankee tarts... Right now I have the fresh cut roses one melting and it smells pretty good!

Somebody also told me Circle E candles are great...anybody tried them?

Thanks for all of your suggestions

I burn Yankee Candles
Right now I have one going in my office that is called "beach towel" and it smells like the beach on a hot summer day! (I'm in denial because I live in New England and it's cold here now!) In my living room, I am burning one called "chocolate chip cookie" and it smells like just someone is baking cookies! I love it! I go to Yankee Candle about twice a month and stock up! I just got about 5 of their new Christmas candles that I can't wait to burn.

I use the Yankee tarts and they are much stronger than the candles.....
I felt as you did about the candles and figured what's the point? The tarts must have a higher oil content in them because it is a HUGE difference. Sometimes it is too strong, lol. I also like that you can reuse them a couple of times, I will even take the hardened wax out of the warmer and store them if I want to change the scent right away. Do try them, you will be pleased.

Oh and you have to try these two - Mandarin/Cranberry and Macintosh/Peach..unbelievablygood smelling!

Come back and let us know what you think.

You will never waste your money on Yankee candles again after trying these!

New favorite Yankee Candles scent

I ordered a box of new spring scents (tarts) and I have to say Velvet Petals is my new all time favorite, with Midnight Jasmine running a close second.

What's your favorite?

I burn those Yankee tarts in my tart burner
right now have Christmas Wreath in to get me in the spirit. I think they give off more of a smell than the candles.
