Yankee Candle Jar Candles — 

I really love Yankee Candle Company products!  They burn very evenly, so you definitely get your money's worth.  No having to throw away 1/2 the wax because the wick burned straight down!!

They come in a lot of scents ranging from florals to foods to seasonals.  I have tried many of their scents, and have found that they are mostly hits with a few misses thrown in.  My favorites include cinnamon stick, sparkling pine, peach & sweet berries, and blackberry.  But my absolute favorite...the only Yankee candle I have ever bought at full-price...is Buttercream.  It smells so much like wedding cake frosting, you feel like you could just take a bite right out of the candle!

The only disadvantage to these candles is the cost.  At an average of $22 for a 21 oz. jar candle, I don't ever buy them at full price (except for occasionally Buttercream).  Many retailers offer "scents of the month" which are typically 25% off, so I wait for those.  In addition, their website frequently offers promotional prices, so I stock up when they are cheap!

I have one burning in my kitchen at all times, and I only have to switch in a new jar about every 3 weeks.

Also, the scents do not clash with other air fresheners and mix very well with other Yankee Candle scents.  For various special occassions I have had up to 4 different scents burning in my house at the same time.  It smelled great!

I dont know who determines retired Yankee scents or if it is predicated on sales figures but the home classic line and the original aromatherapy line were the best work they ever did.Does someone know where there is a complete list of every scnt that Yankee candle mfg.
