Yankee Candle was a go to candle brand in the day. Every candle brand has its pros and cons, but BBW has become the go to for candle lovers. They have good scents, lots of sales, and brick and mortar stores everywhere. I don't feel they care if their wicks dud out or they get sooty. It doesn't appear to hurt their profit margins. Customers get broken candles, from online orders, on a regular basis. It doesn't deter customers from ordering more candles online. Customers like the convenience of returning candles to the store. Because BBW is doing so well, they don't have incentive to improve their candles. I enjoy your candle reviews. You give us all we need to know, and you make us laugh. 😃
16 notes is so funny! I am trying my Hispanic Heritage candles. Mango smells good. First burn was about a 6 in an open space. It smells Juicy. I burned Rainforest for 3 hours. I can smell it but maybe a 5. I have to give them more burns to really know. Tomorrow the other two. Have a fabulous weekend ❌️⭕️
I can remember going into Yankee to shop. They were so good back then. It’s really sad. I try every now and then but am usually let down. Great review! Thanks, love🍃🌸
“I’d always prefer an 8”: classic. 😂👌Oh, Greg. You make me laugh. Thanks for another excellent, comprehensive review. I’ve never burned Apple Pumpkin but I’ve always wondered about it. Pumpkin Apple I know well, though, so it was really interesting to hear your thoughts on how they compare! ❤️
The scent description reading 🤣. I'm with you Greg, not a fan of the Tumblers. I was lucky enough to snatch this one up in the 18 oz. 3-wick on clearance. Will be burning it soon 😊.
I recommend seaside woods very much. Its stunning. I dont buy Yankee often but that one and amber sandalwood are my great loves. And witches brew. Of course the throw is never where you want it to be with YC :/ its such a pain really because i really freaking adore those scents.. Pumpkin carving is my favorite pumpkin apple. Love love love it and its strong. For some reason bbws has never gone into powerhouse category for me like it does for most people sadly! I like it but i don't need it every year. Hope you find the perfect pumpkin apple blend, dear.
Thanks Taylor! I found Seaside Woods in the old signature jar format that I like so I ordered it! Woot woot! I don’t buy much from them anymore either.
I've only burned pumpkin apple from BBW once and it was so strong and became one of my favorites 😮 I'm actually surprised to hear this. I got another one last year but haven't tried it yet. I'm wondeirng if I just got lucky in 2022.
Hi! Apple Pumpkin was indeed released first. I still have a Apple Pumpkin in a apothecary jar. I loved shopping at the YC stores during the fall/Halloween season. Back in the day YC was the go to for candles. For my husband and I it was the official start of the season in late August every year when they released their Halloween line. All the stores closed down and YC no longer ships to Canada which I think they shot themselves in the foot with that. Luckily, my husband and I have a lot of YC candles in our collection to burn. Unfortunately, towards the end of them closing down all of their stores in Canada the the quality of their candles have tumbled due to the company being sold a couple of times. Their candles are not as strong as they used to be. I think when I was purchasing YC candles it was at the right time when YC was at their best. I also used to find YC candles all the time years ago at stores like Homesense, Marshalls, and Winners which I've purchased from as well. None are to be found anymore. My first YC candle was Witches Brew which I purchased from Winners back in 2009. It was the start of when I really was into candles. I feel BBW candles are hit or miss to be honest. I feel like after a certain point of burning they smell very chemical like. I've also had other issues with BBW candles. I still purchase BBW candles and I find myself being rather picky with their candles.
Omg our YC journeys are SO similar! I remember when they had so much presence in Canada. I used to love hunting for them at Marshall’s/Honesense/Winners. There was even a store near me that I would spend hours in. Now they don’t even ship here and it would bother me if I thought their candles were always great quality still. The company buy over really destroyed the brand. I was watching Shawn from Hearthside once and he said “Yankee candle is no longer a company, it’s just a brand” and that pretty much sums it up. Thanks for watching and sharing! 💜😀🕯️
No wonder my beloved soft blanket has been on sale this year on the net. Yankee candle pumpkin apple will always be the best version compared to bbw. I just dont have time for weak throw. Bbw pumpkin apple used to have high burning flames in when I used to get them. I tend to think the solid colored jars are the better ones to buy for that reason or else they start to smell muddy like other candles.

Thank you so much!
I agree about BBW. It’s such a shame that no companies seem to care much about offering up consistently great products anymore. 😢

I love the smell of them all on cold, but I’m more of a seasonal burner than you and I think these need to wait for spring/summer. 🤷
@@AllAbootCandles I just burn the mood I am in. I will burn spring in the dead of winter. 💕

@@carriemroczkowski9409 Yeah I miss the good old Yankee days so much.

I don’t know what you’re talking about I was referring to strength and throw 😜 💜🕯️
I am with you. I rather have the other jars. I still have a bunch of the large 3 wicks.

I’ll be interested to hear what you think of it! Oh, Yankee.

Your red fruit and yellow fruit note rant had me laughing 😂😂
Such bizarre scent notes though like whaaaattt.
@AllAbootCandles is definitely odd! Your rant was 100% justified lol

Perhaps…. Batches can also vary 🤷 it’s the one BBW candle I can think of that has NEVER worked for me.

At least an 8 in the bedroom for sure 🙆♀️😂 you had me laughing so hard today
