Absolutely a top 5 fave for all year round winter blues buster best!!
To the reviewer below: It's not Yankee Candles fault you ordered a scent u know u hate cuz your drunk & then have the audacity to give the product 1 lousy star, shameful. With that said let me say I ordered 2 PINK SANDS scented lg . jar candles for office gifts and they were just as perfect a quality as tho bought in an actual Yankee store. Stickers were straight, no bubbles, no hair as other reviewer tried to claim was case, filled level, wicks even.
If you are wondering about the scent, I guess I can best describe it as a sweet mix of those strawberry hard candies, with a pinch of a cotton candy ish smell somehow combined with a light beach scent swirled with suntan lotion, sandalwood laden sand anotherwords ... ABSOLUTELY DELISCIOUS and not too summery that u cant can't burn mid January. Infact, it helps me erase a little winter depression when I burn.
One VERY IMPORTANT thing to remember with these candles for longevity is #1 TRIM WICKS down to 1/8 inch and monitor length. If you are seeing black soot on glass, wicks is TOO long. Also, all good candles recommend you light for 2 to 4 hrs at a time, let cool then trim & re - light. If you do this you will have perfect results.
Ps. Never burn last inch or two as glass can crack ... *tip: Scrape out last 2 inches or so with butter knife (can put cool candle in freezer for 10 min. first for less mess) and put in a tart/wax warmer or save to use in one later. It smells amazing, gives u a few tarts worth and more bang for your buck, enjoy!!
