Isn't a yankee candle a yankee candle? who knew!

less fragrance oils less quality wax & less good wicks & more

I think I heard Rosa say the total burn time was 380 hours. The old large jars burnt for around 140 hours each and the medium ones 90 hours, votives 8 hours. 476 hours.

Well I have been burning Yankee for years and don’t think I have ever managed 140 hours out of a large jar, etc. I think I get closer to 110/120. The 140 was the higher side of the range with I think 90 being the lower.

I am hoping that the new soy wax means less tunnelling, no residue round the side of the jar and a good throw in a shorter time. I think I have some soy ones in the stash from a (much earlier) TSV. Anyhoo, I got the Passport option and am looking forward to it. I regularly bought the TSV s when they did the seasonal auto delivery, but each to his/her own after all. It’s my money and I think they are good value compared to some. Although you see cheaper prices, when you look at the burn time it is often less than 40 hours.

I think people want the specialist wax and expensive scent and the strong throw but dont want to pay what it costs.

Yes, that's me. I want my candles to smell lovely, not burn out in 10 minutes and not cost upwards of £50. Hard to please I know!

I used to buy Village candles and the Goose Creek melts but the cost is now way above what I'm prepared to pay so I go for the supermarket cubes. Probably not environmentally friendly or good for me/Bry either but I'm way past the money I used to spend on Yankee candles. I now need it for other things (like holidays and running a car).

I buy my wax melts from picknmelt.com. Loads of different scents

I now buy my candles almost exclusively from Rituals. You can get the odd bargain from them but they are expensive to start off with so not exactly cheap. The main difference is that the fragrances just smell like expensive hotels. Another level to the Christmas cookie and cinnamon whatever scents from America.

I like Yankees find them good vfm specially years ago. I also like Prices they are not as strong as other more expensive candles but they do have a nice scent overall.
