Just bought a Yankee candle called Cinnamon stick. What a waste of moola. Can't even smell it. Ok, what are your greatest fave flavors to smell and who do you think puts out the best candles?

Yankee Candle isn't half bad and I agree Cinnamon Stick is a waste of money. My favorite scents I would have to say would be Vanilla and Morning Glories

Just bought a Morning Glories but it wasn't Yankee. Can't go wrong with Vanilla.

Hey Ducky,:-6



I don't buy any candles except "Yankee Candles." I love Honeydew Melon and Ocean Water. My all time fav is "Midsummer's Night."



I once had a party and there were about 15 couples. Most stayed overnight in local motels. The women loved the Midsummer's Night aroma. The next day when they all left, the women talked hubbies into driving them to the candle store which they passed on the way home.



When I went into the store a few days later, I told the owner about my party, and he said "oh, that's why they all loved Midsummer's Night candle.....duh...and he never gave me a discount on my new purchases:-5



He thinks that women love the candle so much because it smells like a man's good cologne:p

Yankee candles are crap. :wah: You're mostly just paying for the name. I can make a candle that same size, that will burn longer and more evenly for just a coupla' dollars. I prefer to use higher quality materials, however.

Los aceites de la fragancia hacen el olor. Cuanto el más de alta calidad, el mejor. Usted no quiere una vela que skimps en el olor. ;)

La vela del yanqui apenas utiliza una calidad barata, inferior, la cera de la MP 126 que isn' t muy refinado. Iguales con la vela wic y el tarro de cristal fino. Cualquier persona puede comprar esos materiales y hacer su propia vela para algunos dólares. Tenía una tienda de la vela de la pequeña empresa en donde tenía pequeñas hornadas de las velas hechas. Pagaba a alrededor $1 por libra la misma cera en bulto.

¿Por qué estamos hablando en Español aquí ahora, también? ¿Babelfish es adictivo es él no? :wah:

I've stopped buying scented candles, I find that the smell does'nt seem to last very long.

I buy diffuser scents that you put reeds in, it lasts longer and smells nicer.

Reed diffusers are where its at.

They last months and months, theres an enormous selection, they are visually appealing and they really make a guy feel warm and fuzzy when hes come home from conquering the world.

Balsam is real mellow and relaxing and jasmine is very fresh.

Thank you
