Re: Request for opinions regarding BBW candles vs Yankle candles

The absolute best candle I've ever burned was Yankee Honeydew.  It was the cleanest, freshest scent with great throw but can no longer find it as this has been  a lot of years ago.  I found a similiar one in Tuesday Morning but just not the same.  I do burn a lot of BBW's candles too, especially the fall and winter scents.

I love love love Pure Integrity Candles as well, a great company and their candles smell so good and they all 100% soy........I have to be careful when ordering BBW Candles as some are too strong, and my house is small so the scent becomes overwhelming! I still like their candles though and will buy them when they have a sale!!!!!!!!

Re: Request for opinions regarding BBW candles vs Yankle candles

I LOVE Yankee Candle Storm Watch which you can only get online now. 

 

A lot of Yankee candles have a long burn time, but a lot of them have no fragrance.....there are exceptions their Balsam & Cedar still has a nice lasting scent, and if you like floral---Fresh Cut Roses........

 

I buy a lot of BBW candles, they may have corrected the drowning wick problem, but boy do these burn down quickly now----And it seems a lot of their "new" scents seem to be a variation of the Slaktin ones---for example, Red Maple smells a lot like Leaves.....I still enjoy a lot of their old Slatkin scents......

 

I used to like McCall's candles that used to be sold in some unique shops around town but haven't seen them in a while......
