Has anyone else noticed that these candles don't have a clean burn anymore?

Yes. I could not believe the amount of black soot on my A/C filters! I switched from burning them to using a candle lamp. Same great fragrance throw and no more black A/C filters.

I never burn his candles. I use a candle warmer lamp. I prefer wax melts.

@River Song

I first noticed it on the glass part of the candle.

Yep, me, too. Also noticed soot on the glass sleeve of one of his hurricanes. Then, I looked at the A/C filters and was really alarmed. I immediately stopped burning the candles and purchased a candle lamp.

I went to BBW yesterday with all my coupons and free reward and a bill that would have been 70+ dollars was 16.84.

Got 2 three wick candles and 2 16oz body lotions. Both the clerk and I went WOW.

Showed 70+ on tag before all the discounts and free body lotions (2}.Candles are normally 25 ea. On sale for 13.95 ea. and then coupons kicked in. Lotions free. My rewards with coupon. It felt like Christmas.

Honestly, I don't believe they've ever burned as clean as they are advertised to. I've bought them several times, at first had the black soot when burned. I figured I was doing something wrong, so watched the videos and listened to the presentations, only to find that if you don't clean the little wicks from the previous burn, the soot gets heavier and heavier. Disgusting. I don't buy them any longer.

I find the scents interesting. I've tried Spring, Fall and Holiday scents. Very faint throw. They seem to just burn down faster with the four wicks. So many say they are not the same as past years. I am tired of taking the chance. Reviews are so mixed here.

I gave up and have other brands that are cheaper, better throw, cleaner and longer lasting. No matter what fancy container or celebrity hawk... I am finished.

Last week received my BOGO box from B&B with three rewards. Even Wal-Mart has 22 oz. Yankee Candles for $20. Occasionally I have found Woodwick for $24 that sound like a small crackling fireplace.

@qvcaddition,

I felt the same when I went to B&B works yesterday. I got to use 2 coupons. (She said sometimes it works and sometimes not).

So free full size body lotion-"Magic in the Air," and a 3 wick Fresh Balsam candle which I love- 25% off. So $10 for both and we both said wow! Pretty good! It was like getting a favorite Christmas present.

The last Homeworx candles I got were the 12 little Christmas ones

in the Christmas Advent type box.

Most of them had no scent at all! None! I read other reviews that said the same.I had gotten this same from about 3 years ago and they were great. But 2 years ago, this batch was really no smell at all for most all of them so I won't try again plus they are way overpriced!

I do like getting Woodwick candles in Walmart when they have the scents I like.

@on the bay

I honestly thought that maybe my sense of smell was going. Also this year I noticed the burn time was reduced. Time to look around elsewhere.

I no longer buy his candles. They are not clean burning and have little to no scent. Prices are ridiculous when you can buy much better for less elsewhere.
