Re: Best Yankee candle smell

My favourites are Sweet Pea and Vanilla Cupcake,although they smell good they don't last long ! I'd recommend Gold Cayon.com that companies candles not only smell better but last longer too! Don't waste your $ on Yankee Candle check out Gold Canyon instead.

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

I use only Yankee Candels...but may try Bath & Body Works soon.

Midsummer night smells like Drakar

Juicy Watermelon is my newest one.  It smells like Jolly Rancher watermellon  candy.

Gingerbread is great for the hollidays.  Smells like baking gingerbread men.

Variety is the spice of life.

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

MOUNTAIN LODGEyum it kinda has the Hollister SoCal smell if you know what I'm talking about. Coconut, pine, cedar, pineapple, and seawater

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

If you like Yankee candles, you'll LOVE Gold Canyon Candles. Our candles smell stronger, burn better and cost less. I've been totally spoiled on them as a Gold Canyon fragrance consultant. Now they're all I want to burn. Check out my website. www.mygc.com/hannahb. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me here or email me through my website. Happy shopping and happy burning!

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

thanks for posting this as I want to try their range of candles too glad

would you mind if I ask help from members for a clean or soft flowery scent? please avoid vanilla ok, it gives me headache.

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

I love beachwalk. There is another called sand and something else? I like that one too, but have not been to their store in a bit.  rodna

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

I love the Christmas Cupcake candle.  I think their pictures are so pretty and the scents sound so nice, but I can't smell them at all. 

I buy Bath and Body Works candles and love them.

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

My first ever was Macintosh peach and it's so good the whole apartment from the bottom stairs to all rooms smelled like it. My other faves are lemon lavender and fresh cut roses. My husband loves the beach walk spray for the cars

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

Read somewhere that Yankee's tarts have a stronger throw than the candles, and they are very economical as well if you tire of scents easily or want to try many different ones.

I find that the tarts have a nice strong throw - you get a bit of fragrance as they are melting, and then maximum throw when the wax is melted.

I was using Country Lemonade (tart) http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTsokqu3hYl9eAyZ8yVph3GViL9j4ZOh--WyRcAyMjZhLUHNl6k3Jmj6ah2nw  yesterday and it was a lovely and strong fragrance. Garden Sweet Pea http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTSBEgP_tkB6LnnL5Wx3wYWIHPYREzNNtR76PNzdrpeMawGRPjX405XOnkFRQ   is nice too, but can be a little too sweet after a while. The Vanilla Lime is also a very popular choice - I have that in the home fragrance oil http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcREwWKWUcQcMSkoGt6IxVHSHddOWBvTdf2-G7sK9y2kdy1pffysKSbBo75U  but I find you have to put around 20 drops in your burner in order to have a nice throw as it is a rather light scent.

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

I love Yankee's green scented candles, such as Beautiful Day and Beach Grass.  They do tend to burn "black" and sputter, so I use a ceramic candle topper which prevents the soot from spreading and the glass from turning black.

I prefer soy candles which don't burn "black", so I rarely buy Yankee anymore - just too messy.

I received Yankee's "Warm Woolen Mittens" as a gift last year and it was disgusting, like sweaty wool.

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

I love scenting my home with seasonal candles from Yankee.  For this spring, it will be Stormwatch, Tulips, and Lilac Blossoms.  I could never burn a candle out of season...it would just be so wrong. smile

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

Personally I love the Midnight Jasmine scent from Yankee candle.

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

I love all the Yankee Candle "dessert" scents, but my very favorite is not a food, it is the Leather scent.

That's right! I have two candles, and I have tried the votives, but the longest lasting are the tarts. They have great sillage as well. I bought a bunch for a couple of bucks when they have their sales going on. The Vanilla Satin one lasted a month before the scent lost it's power. I have Pink Sands in the warmer right now.

My all-time favorite is Soft Blanket, second Vanilla Satin. I would like to try Black Coconut, Golden Sands, and Bunny Cake.

Re: Best Yankee candle smell

The son of Yankee's founder has his own candle company now, called Kringle Candle, in Bernardston, MA.

I went there the other day, and I was very impressed by the special room they have with candles designed to appeal to men. All of the scents are numbered, instead of named, and in the displays the notes are listed. The candle jars look very medieval or Goth. The candles in this selection smell like good-quality men's fragrances.

They also had, in the wax potpourri section, a lemon scent which my friend went crazy for. She said her whole house smells like fresh natural lemons, not fake air freshener or furniture polish lol.
