I don't usually read or post in the candle forum, but noticed the posts about the Yankee sales, and while I have tons of older Yankee, I thought I'd try some new "flavors" because of the great deals.
I hadn't bought a Yankee in at least 5 years, as I had a huge stock that I had pretty much stopped using as I was getting into flameless candles, and I adopted a family of abandoned kitties that get into everything they aren't' supposed to (like a burning candle).
Well, I ordered some, and when they came, all but one smelled nice, and I proceeded to burn. The strong scent and throw I am used to from Yankee is just not there. I remember (and still have) candles that scents were very strong and lasted clear to the bottom of the jar.
I've been out of the loop for awhile with these, so can anyone fill me in on what has happened? Is this another fine American made product that is no longer what is once was? Have they changed the ingredients to save money, or has there been new regulations about what they can now put in candles?
Thanks in advance for any info you may have.
