I havent tried the 3 wick tumblers but like the normal tumblers but QVC dont do many of them.

Didnt have any luck with the 2 wick ones, the wax turned a horrible colour so I sent them back

these are nice and you get a lovely wax pool comming from them. had one in bayberry a christmas fragrance delightfull. but they burn a lot quicker than the larger jars as they are more shallow!

I might give those a try as I like them all. Am currently loving baby powder though which until I had one as a gift I didn't fancy at all.

Although they're ****** expensive I would recommend the Espa candles. They only do two as far as I know and unlike Yankee if I leave the doors open the Espa candle will fragrance the whole house. They both smell very aromatic and one is slightly spicy.

oooh they look nice, I tend not to buy Yankee as I really don't like the jars, they look too "home spun" for my taste. I love the fragrances tho so tend to use the tea lights and burn them in holders that go with my decor. These look much more streamlined, am tempted.

 

[Frazzled]

See someone is asking how long they burn for Burly? - I'd want to know at that price as well!!!

Ive swopped from Yankee to Swan Creek candles, a stronger longer lasting fragrance and soya to boot, so a much cleaner burn :tongue::tongue:

 

[Polly Esther]

I've had these and loved them, as they burned right to the edge and had a good strong fragrance due to the size of the wax pool.

Have made a recent discovery though - TU candles from Sainsbury's.

They also sell (amongst other variants) these large glass three wick candles. I was a bit reticent as supermarket candles are usually not great, but these are brilliant. Very very strongly fragranced, clean even burn. They are around £8 but are often on offer (got another one for £4.50 last week).

Very highly recommended and has made me reconsider my "Yankees are the only ones worth buying" stance!

After wandering through many Wyvale shelves sniffing away at a few Yankee jars (some of which made me feel physically sick) I would never ever buy from qvc without knowing the smell, because just to try (p&p delivery) is the equivalent of the cost of 3 small tarts in the stores, just to end up returning something that may smell absolutely vile, and I would say personally a good 60% of Yankee stinks, in the jar and on the burn
