I love Yankee and have used them for a long time - they smell gorgeous, and burn cleanly if you keep the wick trimmed.Date: 11/13/2008 6:16:00 PM

BF's mum is coming for an extended visit...
So do some of the nicer candle brands (I guess things like Yankee, or whatever at Bath & Body Works,) really perform better than the cheaper ones at discount stores (like Target?) Good thick wick, little soot...

You might call me crazy, but I bought a Glade Cinnamon Gingerbread (maybe 5oz?) candle last week at WalMart for $2 and it is actually REALLY potent and I''m as happy with it as any Yankee candle I''ve ever burned. I agree, some of the cheaper candles from Target or Walgreens or wherever aren''t as great. Glade makes really strong-smelling ones though, I promise! I was pleasantly surprised.
Have, I agree !! I''ve bought Amber and it''s my fav. And it can be bought at Bath & Body Works.Date: 11/14/2008 6:05:37 PM

These are the BEST scented candles I''ve ever bought. They last a very long time, and the scents are incredible and just strong enough. (And I have a minor candle obsession, so I''ve tried a lot of candles.)
They''re pretty, too.
Miranda, that pineapple ginger scent is my DD''s favorite. I like it, very clean and crisp.Date: 11/14/2008 7:53:48 PM

YES!!!! Is that emphatic enough!? My favorite candle is archipelago . All of the scents are divine. I have the pineapple ginger downstairs and gardenia in our master bedroom. Some scents just happen to be on sale at Nordstrom right now!

IYankee Candles - they burn forever and the scents have good staying power. Some of my favorites are Buttercream, Christmas Cookie, and Clean Linen. I burn them all the time to make the house smell good!![]()

Lorelei, do you have Yankee Candle here in the UK? I need to find a local store if they exist here! Love them!
Great! I''ve emailed them to find out where the closest store to me is, but it''s great to know I can order them online if it''s too far away. Thanks, Lorelei!Date: 11/16/2008 5:54:25 AM
