I love Bunny cake. I was surprised that I liked it as it is so sweet. Is Candy cotton similar?
Click to expand...

yes and no. bunny cake is sweet with a slight lemon cakey smell. its more subtle than cotton candy that is a real hard hit of sweet spun sugar. its way over the top throw wise and it works. when it was my grand aughters birthday we burned it lovely
 
Does anyone know what the YC TSV is on 29 October? I've had a good old look but no pics or even hints of what's in it that I can find.
 
Well whatever it is, let's hope they can get the stock here.

My last AD drop was about three weeks late, the WJ AD is now six weeks late and they have only just aired the Autumn scents everyone else had months ago (and the others are now on Winter scents and Christmas treasures). I think something has got a bit muddled in the Q:YC deliveries.

If you have a Boundary Mills anywhere near you, you may be able to get the ones I got for the bargainous price I paid. Some of the candles look like they were substandard for normal retail (patchy looking colour, not filling to the edges in the base) but as it's the scent I go for more than the appearance, I'm OK with that.

I've been sniffing candles like crazy in the shops, but at this time of year I really love to get candles with a smokiness to them. I am with you on Christmas Memories. I love Christmas Eve, and like Season of Peace very much, as well as Angels Wings (but restrained myself from buying these full price in another shop yesterday). I also like Red Apple Wreath when you can find it. I'm very bah humbug about Christmas except I love the smells I associate with Christmas/Winter... the smell of a coal fire, the smell of a real Christmas tree, the spices (but not too much sweetness).

I have a horrible feeling the Christmas Yankee Candle TSV will be votives and tealights, rather than proper candles. I won't bother with votives (too messy and fiddly to get out of the holders) but I do quite like tealights.

The Macaron Treats is one of the most vile scents I've come across from any candlemaker. Star Anise & Orange is quite nice - the anise smell isn't too overpowering, when cold at least.

From last year I loved Cosy by the Fire (that smoky note)... but didn't like Bundle Up (smells like Clean Cotton with a bit of a wintery overlay to me - and I loathe that whole family of scents ... clean cotton, fluffy towels, soft blanket and the worst of the lot... baby powder).

I've no room for all the candle newness in my new candle storage area, so I justify a different area which is for Christmas stuff... So my excuse will be dead and buried if I carry on shopping and indulging in non-Christmassy ones. Ooops!

Candles are an integral part of the festive season, and - as such - a separate storage area is entirely justifiable. :nod: Your new shelving sounded fantastic, bet they look lovely all lined up. The votives are messy, ours never just "pop out" as they're supposed to if you put a drop of water in the holder. I got the TSV earlier in the year with the lamp, so don't mind so much with that, as the votive holder is hidden inside. I've already got some Christmas votives, though, so won't be buying if it's votives / tea lights again - especially as they're likely to include this year's festive fragrances. Would be lovely if they did a trio of large jars in a choice of fresh, foodie etc.

I thought exactly the same as AndiK, may, so googled the BM shops only to find they were in the North. There is never anything going cheap in my corner of SW London so my hopes were raised for a moment there, only to be dashed. Mind you I never venture very far to go shopping.

I like most of the ones you mention in your post above, but cannot take vanilla if it smells like it should be in the middle of a sponge. Black cherry, which so many love, I simply cannot smell when it is burning so my nose is obviously defective! No role as a chandler for me. I agree about cinnamon stick, I find it very strong and just one note, whereas sparkling cinnamon is great. Sometimes when I am pairing mine up, it is not finding something to complement the candle but to calm it down, LOL.

I no longer have favourites as they just discontinue them!!!!!! Bring back Evening Air and Willow Breeze, I say.

This hasn't happened to me with a candle yet, but I feel your pain as L'Occitane have reformulated Arlesienne, my favourite fragrance. The new one is lovely, but completely different. When I saw the duo on the Q website, I assumed they'd just updated the packaging, but alas..

Oh lord, I'm totally with you re the Cinnamon ones, minging - worst Christmas one I ever smelt was the misguided Apple & Pine Needle one from YC which to my nose smelled like a Vesta curry!

That's exactly how I'd describe Christmas Memories, curried!! I'd never heard of Vesta Curry, it was Findus Crispy Pancakes and Bernard Matthews Turkey burgers when I was a kid!

Retail always works ahead, trust QVC to be bringing up the rear! I might have been interested in the Autumn trio (although probably not, as the Autumn Nights was the only one I loved), but it's too late now, I'd never get them burnt before I wanted to start on our festive ones. Surely most people will have either given up and bought them from elsewhere, or decided not to bother now?
 
Am I the only one who got a blast of sweaty socks from Macaron Treats. Even my brother agreed with me. Far worse than curry (even the Vesta ones)...

Rainbow's End arrived today, and smells really fresh but lighter than I was expecting. I think the idea conveyed by the name, as much as the scent, is behind its legendary status. As it is a fresh and somewhat ozonic scent, it's definitely a keeper...

And I've decided I now need to stock up on some more festive melts and tealights, as I cannot justify getting any more candles (however tempting) unless I can magic up some more space for them.
 
I have just seen on Wax Addicts that the large jars are going up by £2 to £23.99 from Jan 1. That is the biggest increase. It looked as if only tealights are staying the same.

Hopefully at some point QVC will get some images of these :mysmilie_50: and details of the votives/t-light selection offered. I realise that these postings of your finds can often be very early before they are coming to air, so I'll hope they get "fleshed out" in due course.
 
If anyone is interested Temptation Gifts have got some good deals on Yankee Candles at the moment. Selected fragrances but quite a good selection for example 2 large jar candles for £30. If you order over £50 its free postage. They come very quickly too.

CURSES!!!! I vowed no more candles now until 2017 (other than the AD drops I'm waiting for) but I reeeeeally want these - has anyone received these as part of the vineyard 3rd drop and if so, how do they smell? Am so taken by all of them so I know I'm going to crack and buy them, sigh...

Thanks SCW, I'm going to bide my time and see what the reviews are like first - I've got enough vanilla/foodie smells for the mo as well as something similar to Silver Birch so it's Feliz Navidad I'm really interested in
