Yankee Candles

[Benjamin]

Anyone else use these? I know we were discussing in Towers the other week, but just curious. If so, what scents do you use?

Never heard of them. But my family always have Diptyque ones around. They smell nice.

I love yankee candles but I can never remember which ones I have as they last for ages!! I'll check tonight when I get in :)

[Livia]

I'm not a fan of Yankee Candles. I had to repaint my ceiling afterwards because they left horrible black, sooty marks. I prefer Lampe Berger where you heat the stone and the oil sucks all the nasties out of the air while smelling gorgeous - which sounds weird if you don't know what I'm talking about.

[Kate!]

Not tried these, but I love scented candles.

Body shop ones are gorgeous :)

[Roy Mars III]

The cookie dough scented ones are amazing.

What are the point of them then?

[Ammi]

To give the ambiance if you don't want the smell

[Ninastar]

Ben, you're such an old woman :bored:

[Benjamin]

Ben, you're such an old woman :bored:

:hmph:


I like my room to be ambient and relaxing, especially when I'm doing my writing. I like my work space and bedroom to be clean, smelling nice and calming.

[lostalex]

I'm paranoid about scented candles and insense, i think they cause cancer.

(yes i'm a smoker so i know that's hypocritical, but i'm just saying...)

[Marc]

Old.

[Benjamin]

Old.

Hush down Ginger. You're a student; your room probably smells of stale beer and pizza, plus you cannot afford scented candles. :hmph:

[Kizzy]

i love candles and make my own from all the bits of old ones so they smell a bit of a mix haha, i used to always use lamp-rings bit cant with the new energy shaped bulbs :(

[lostalex]

i remmeber durring colonial week at school we learned how to make home made candles and also churn butter. It was fun.

Yes, yes I am. I like scented candles and I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Candles are not just for middle aged women at all, I love yankee candles!! They smell good enough to eat lol. My favourite at the moment is 'home sweet home' i got it for my friend last christmas and she loves it too. It smells like cinnamon and sugar cookies!! :elephant:

No they are not. The one's I have are masculine scents. I class my house as a bachelor pad and a place with things I like and I happen to like my house smelling nice. I find air fresheners nauseating, especially the rancid plug-in ones.

What does it smell like?

I ususally only like the ones that smell like food.

A tranquil blend of bergamot pepper, dray sage and a touch of cedar. It smells really nice. Honestly, everyone who comes over to my house loves that one.

[Verbal]

Ha old thread bump.

I've just got a yankee candle electrical tart warmer. Used to use oil burners with tea lights but stopped when I had my cat. So these are perfect. :dance:

[Josy]

Ah good ol Yankee Candles :love:

I usually get a couple of gift bags from there for my xmas with candles, tealights and drawer sachets, hope I get one this year because I'm running low :laugh:

[AnnieK]

I am loving the Black Cherry one at the moment

[Natalie.]

If anyone wants to buy me one of these, feel free

[Verbal]

Where do people that have them buy the 'tart' things? I had 5 with the warmer, and i've bought 24 of them on amazon for £23. Any better?

[Ammi]

I would say that's the best deal I have seen yet tbh, on ebay they sell for £1.16 each and in some shops where I live they get them in every now and then for £1.

So yeah that sounds a good deal to me.

[Josy]

If you have bought 24 and had 5 though they should last a fair bit the burn time is about 8 hours.

[Josy]

Special offer here is 10 for the price of 8

Thanks ammi it looks lovely, wonder what fluffy towels smell like

[Ammi]

..I'm thinking maybe fluffy towels..?...:laugh:...

[Natalie.]

:laugh: can't imagine the smell

[Ammi]

:laugh: can't imagine the smell

..I'm guessing it's like that smell when your towels just come out of the wash and they're all huggable/smellable....(smellable isn't a word but it should be..)...

[Verbal]

Yea the burn times are a bit strange. I only bought one cos a woman at work had one in her office, i'd never seen an electrical one. She had the same tart in the burning for a week. The morning I had it delivered I put one in and it was gone the next day, after about 5 hours of burn time.

[King Gizzard]

QD (don't laugh) do their own version with various smells for 4 quid and they smell as good and if anything last longer, I get mine from there

You get what you pay for with things like this (IMO). Its like comparing Paco Rabanne with Brut.

Yankee Candles are epic! In southport someone opened a shop dedicated to them and I bought a snow in love fragranced one! :amazed:

[Me. I Am Salman]

We don't buy candles because we have carpets and my mum would forever be paranoid they'll fall over and cause a fire (I would be too)

[King Gizzard]

Apart from wax spill if they fell over, Yankee Candles are pretty much fireproof, the flame would be put out by the wax if it fell over

[Verbal]

With electric tart warmers, like the one i've got, there is no flame. You just plug it into the wall.

No, I think originally the point of candles was LIGHT.
