to think Yankee candles are the work of the devil

[MarieBurnham]

Vile vile stuff that gives me a headache and makes me feel sick. I don't think they contain anything natural like essential oils, just loads of artificial chemicals.

[mouldycheesefan]

They are ugly too, the jars are unappealing.
The brand is naff.

[Emmageddon]

Do they claim to contain essential oils?

I like some of them, Midnight Jasmine is particularly nice.

YANBU. I'm obsessed with scented candles but those are vile

[Groovee]

I like some of their scents but not all of them. The home ones from Asda are nice.

[SheldonsSpot]

I like the fresh scented ones, can't stand fruity or spicy ones, they give me a headache.

Ive never really looked into what they're made of tbh.

YANBU. My mum loves them - especially those little cakes that melt in an oil burner. The first thing I'll do when I go home at Christmas is blow them all out - the sneezing fits they cause both me and my daughter are nasty. I can barely walk past their shops, I don't know how anyone can work in them.

[LagunaBubbles]

Each to their own. Ive got the Sunlight on snow one just now and its a lovely scent. Its not vile at all.

[MrsC2810]

I used to like them but I feel the scents are not as strong as they used to be. I've found a great alternative in Urban Apothecary, made from soy and the bakewell scent is amazing.

YABVU. I absolutely love Yankee Candles.

[Underthemoonlight]

I love yankee candles got the cupcake one at the moment

[RuggerHug]

I love them, but I know loads of people hate them.shrug. I second what pp said, the midnight jasmine one is devine.

[GentleOnMyMind]

There are some nice ones. The ones I like, I really really like.

YANBU. Just being in the shop makes me feel sick and gives me a headache.

[zukiecat]

I too love the Midnight Jasmine one, and Dragonfruit is also particularly lovely

The one scent I hate is anything Vaniila, it gives me a thumping headache

I get a headache just thinking about Vanilla!

[WellTidy]

I don't like the ones that smell of anything edible, they're just too sickly for me. Especially cupcake and sweet ones. The exception to this is wild fig.

I love midnight jasmine, fresh cut roses, true rose and midsummers night.

[bloodyteenagers]

A friend once said here take this. Vanilla candle, I don't like it.
Omfg smelt like cat piss. Spoke to friend who said that's what they thought as well.. About 3 months later the same candle came back to me

Never had the chance to look at the ingredients. But for what they charge I don't want chemically laden candles.

[BlackNo1]

I buy the tarts. I like some of the fresh and florals. I have champaca blossom melting at the moment. It doesn't get up my nose like the spice or the vanilla cupcake varieties which give me a headache.
Never bought a YC candle, I just don't understand the hype as it's just paying out for a glass jar. The wax tarts are cheaper and like testers so no big rip off.

[Thisjustinno]

I love them! I love all the foodie/spice type ones, especially in the Winter.

[SaltyBitch]

I love the white cotton scented one.

[YorkiesGlasses]

I have a love-hate relationship with them. I love Fireside Treat, I'm considering buying All Is Bright, and I like the design of the jars. What I don't like is the godawful amount of black smoke most of them give off however closely I trim their bloody wicks. It seems to be getting worse year by year

[KatharinaRosalie]

I love the Salted Caramel. We have pets and believe me, it's much better than the usual Eau de Dog we have in our house

[ProudBadMum]

I have Berry Trifle which smells lovely but I can't have it burning long as it does seem to give me a headache

[RochelleGoyle]

YANBU, I think they're horrible.
