Christmas candles/Yankee Burning

[Totally Loopy Lou]

I am the worst person in the world at describing fragrances I'm afraid TLL, so I've just copied and pasted this from google, I hope it helps....?

• Top: Solar Cinnamon, Sunshine, Lemondrop.
• Mid: Solar Accord, Coconut, Sandalwood, Sugared Musk.
• Base: Amber, Praline, Handwritten Letters.

Thank you that’s helpful
Though still bit stuck on some - as per Twilight’s post

Wonderful company, wonderful products & wonderful people. I met them when they had just started the business & have remained

I only discovered them last year. The pure Shea butter and hand cream is my friends favourite and I get it for her at Christmas.

I’m still burning Autumn scents. I have Moonbeams on Pumpkins (? I think) to go and then it will be Red Apple Wreath.

I have purchased liz earle small rose and ginger candle. 18.00 free p and p at Q or 13.50 direct with free p and p, however I can't seem to get myself to light it so might have to order a 2nd one but I want the beekman ex tsv and my money for Christmas is quickly running out after buying last week's liz earle and l occitane tsv..

I've got Holiday Hearth and Twinkling Lights on the go from the earlier TSV (both gorgeous) as well as Christmas Morning Punch from last year - love me an Xmas candle have also got Harry Slatkin's White Birch plugin going in the hall

hi Tarketta. I've got the Harry Slatkin White Birch candle in the pottery Christmas tree shape ( it's massive btw). Is it a good scent, smells ok cold sniff but still unsure. Thanks

I have tried YC but also could only smell the paraffin but have that with most candles, even Neom for me are not great.I would love a home with fragrance have a Neom Reed diffuser in my livingroom right now & it needn’t be there.Is it my nose & sense of smell?

No disrespect intended, but sense of smell declines with age. However you may be in your twenties, in which case, it's the diffuser that isn't strong enough.

Sorry Grizelda but I am not in my 20s!

How does the letters to Santa smell, it’s such an esoteric/ mysterious name?!


I like the name but don’t remember that one!

I’m quite surprised people are burning Christmas type scents already?!
I still think 1st December is way too early! (Though I like decorations up about 1 weekend before Christmas!)

Maybe it would help me feel remotely festive this year to burn some more wintry and festive scents sooner?

Atm I have YC dried lavender and oak burning - first time - which I got for £10 so risked it!
I adore the scent - but it is the sootiest candle I’ve ever owned! (Maybe burning too long too!)

White Company do some lovely winter fragrances but so £££ and not the best throw still.

Lavender Oak from yankee is one of my favourites. I can't get enough of it along with Snow in Love

 

[boffy]

Red Apple Wreath is lovely.

Thats one of the best Christmas scents imo.

I am burning Golden Chestnut and Autumn Gathering together as I am trying to get through my stash and determined they aren’t going back in the cupboard. They are very autumny. I can’t wait to get christmas candles out, maybe this weekend My favourite christmas candle is currently Glistening Star - it is gorgeous.

Oh that’s funny, they’re both my faves!
Not sure what it is I like about them but both have both freshness and a musky or woodiness?
(Alongside Midnight Jasmine which I’ll always love!)

Love fruity and spicy Christmas candles - and some of the pine-type ones - but I hate anything baking related!
Or sweet and vanilla based... Ugh!

 

[candycane]

I don't really like the baking ones either but Yankee used to do one called Merry Marshmallow and I just loved it. Reminded me of Granny's house at Christmas. Discontinued of course. I liked the Jack Frost one as well but that's no longer around. I might try and sneak in some Slatkin candles to try and then once I've half burned them and no longer want them I can sell them on half price to the Qurio lady

I love scented candles but they do have to smell of something but not cinnamon, I've developed a horrid sick feeling when I smell it and it's overpowering.

Cashers, oh I've got the tree in green, they're gorgeous aren't they, can't wait to burn mine! The white birch plug in is my favourite of all the ones I've tried so far - ok I know I'm a bit of a sucker with these things, but to my nose it really does make me think of walking through a snowy forest and just taking in all those lovely cold clean scents, reckon you'll love it

Oooooo Glittering star I forgot about that scent I have loads. Gorgeous!

I also have a few of these jars that I bought as a set last year. I was sorting out my stash to see if I can use any for Christmas presents but I will be keeping all of these

ooh thanks Tarketta, I really want to start burning it! Love all the ozone fresh scents. They are massive aren't they? God knows where I will put it after Christmas !!

 

[Twilight]

Can any of the YC experts on the forum name a Christmas fragrance that was lavender coloured? A couple of years ago I was given a collection of Christmas tealights, it must have been a US import because I didn't recognise many of them, & this one was gorgeous.

Uh Oh, I've got FOMO here and I'm not even on Qurio. Where can I see these trees? Didn't see them on the website although I'm clear blind sometimes. Cant' see things with eyes wide shut.
