Smelled Bad
I purchased three of these candles for my aunt (who is located in a different state across the country from where I live) who has severe mobility issues and wears a colostomy bag as a result of cancer treatment. She requested good quality & good smelling candles to help with the smell when she and her caregiver change her bag. I purchased the Balsam & Cedar, Lavender and Sparkling Cinnamon candles thinking that each would offer a pleasant and varied aroma depending on her mood. She was excited to receive the package and quickly tried each of the candles. Both she and her caregiver remarked that all three of the candles smelled "cheap", they said that "they smell like Lysol" and they're reminiscent of "dollar store quality candles". I am exceedingly disappointed. I expect more from Yankee Candle (a brand that I've personally used in my own home and normally have a high opinion of), I expect better quality for candles that cost more than $10 each. At the very least I expect for each of the candle aromas to be distinguishable from one another. Now my aunt is stuck with three terrible smelling candles that she won't use, and I think we can all agree that the situation must be bad if you prefer the smell of human waste to a product designed to freshen the air.
