Well in the style of the kipling thread I thought Yankee Candles would be another in the same vein. I said on another thread that QVC surprised me by having a set containing all 3 of my regular favourites for a price I could not beat elsewhere. My favouite of all time is Christmas Rose but True Rose and Fresh cut roses a close joint second. I also like white gardenia (smells the same as Tahitian Tiare Flower) and of the spices the only ones I like are Spiced Orange and Honey and Spice. I used to like baby powder but got bored, and think Fluffy Towells and Clean Cotton smell like fabric softener and Bold washing powder respectively.
I love the tarts too and have a collection in a shoe box that I use almost daily in my electric tart burner. I use Akimbo's tip of using silicone muffin cases to hold and contain the wax. I buy tarts before investing in a large jar to check how much I like the scent. It's an economical and effective way of doing it.
I have a mixology set from Amazon with those samplers. They just collapse and therefore I don't find those particularly good. Maybe I am doing it wrong.
I find Q good for large sets and packs of 18 tarts. I never bother with TSVs with samplers or tea lights in. I get large packs of unscented tea lights from Ikea for a fraction of the price. Is it just me or does anyone else not see the point of scented tea lights?
Also I am interested in reading about other brands of candle such as Milkhouse Creamery and Neom. The latter are massively expensive though and there is only one smell I like in their range- I forget what. I also love the Floris rose & jasmine candle.It's beautiful.
