Re: Best Scented Candles?

I would like to hear the answer to this as well.
I used to LOVE Yankee Candle and swear by them. But lately- I feel like they have changed their formula to cheap out or something. The scent doesn't last as long anymore, nor is it as strong. I was very dissapointed with this year's Christmas candles and tarts. Chat Icon

I completely agree
I put the misletoe/pine smelling ones all around my house and you can barely smell them. I was very disappointed!

I love Bath & Body Works candles! The brand is something like Slatkin & Co and they have such a strong scent and are really pretty.

I used the spice one all Christmas. I just don't think they last as long as Yankee. I agree with PP that Yankee used to be better Chat Icon

ITA... Slatkin & Co has no paraffin, so it burns clean (no black soot).. Plus it has a greater % of fragrance in them. I never believed it until I used them- they last sooooo long

Re: Best Scented Candles?

I loathe most scented candles.

I refuse to own any candle that comes in a JAR (yes, Yankee Candle, I am hoping for your demise)

I like very light scents, and generally NO kind of FOOD recreation...

mint, jasmine, verbena...herbs are fine.

a line I like is Votivo. they look like this.

I second Votivo, their candles are exquisite. I love the Redcurrant ones, my sister used to buy them for me all the time. I love them. And they last for AGES.

Re: Best Scented Candles?

I still stand by Yankee.

Some soy brands are pretty good too... I don't remember brand names but soys give off a nice scent...

eta: I like heavy musky scents - like jasmine... I am in a minority.

edit again - those Votivo candles look pretty...Chat Icon I'm going to get some!

Re: Best Scented Candles?

I love Yankee too.. all the clean scents. Clean cotton, sun & sand ect.

DH hates those scents though, so I buy an apple or vanilla too sometimes.

I love the Yankee Candle Cinnamon and Sugar scent. Vanilla Lime is nice too, but only as a candle. I tried the plug-in and it smelled disgusting.

I recommend Aquiesse candles. They are soy candles with lead free wicks that burn 100+ hours.. and they smell absolutely delicious!

Re: Best Scented Candles?

I get some from a local crafts store near me but they only sell soy based candles..they last longer and burn straight down instead of just the center.

Re: Best Scented Candles?

I burn candles all the time...my day to day are the $14 3 wicks from Wal-mart....They last and smell nice. I like warm apple pie, and the brown one. I forget the name

When I want something nice for the seasons I LOVE LOVE LOVE Wooden Wick, a nd FirePlace is THE BEST!!!! They last forever and smell amazing.

I also like Yankee, and Bath & Body Works. I live the Hery Bendi and Satkin(?) candles. A bit pricey but worth it as gifts, and for holidays...


Also...sorry I'm a candle nutChat Icon The Glade candles are so nice and they smell so good!

Re: Best Scented Candles?

I got one at the Williams-Sonoma Home outlet in Riverhead (the new one) and let me tell you..I still smell it after burning it a couple of days ago! They had a terrific sale..I got a lavender one. I also bought ones by Candles by the Bay at a craft fair-two women who make soy based candles and the smell is heavenly and lasts (I got another lavender one and a pumpkin one). I also have a couple of henri bendel ones from bbw and Method candles from Target...whew..guess I had more candle knowledge that I thought!

bath & body works are always VERY good, but for me, the scent of a Yankee Candle lasts VERY long...
