Do people on here not like Yankee Candles?

FaffTastic · 02/02/2011 22:38

Its a green one - think its called vanilla lime. Love it! The snobby bit of me does prefer the yankee candles that are straight up and down with the pewter lid though rather than the bulbous things with the glass lid. They smell the same but more aesthetically pleasing. Yes, I know i'm being a knob.

Pineapple citrus is really fresh and fruity and summery - yum!

hugebelly · 03/02/2011 10:23

Orchid Pear, which I don't think they stock anymore and Sparkling Cinnamon - scrummy!

laughinglil · 03/02/2011 11:09

black cherry and lucky shamrock which smells like fresh cut grass both gorgeous!

laughinglil · 03/02/2011 11:09

Clean Cotton, Lemon Lavender and Home Sweet Home.

I don't care if they're common, I love them Grin

givemushypeasachance · 03/02/2011 13:17

I like sniffing them in shops but can never bring myself to buy them when they are £££ for something you're just burning away and making the room smell nice for a bit. Especially when Ikea do several different scented candles for practically tuppence! Grin

Back on topic, I like the appley-cinnamon ones and the spicy Christmas ones. Ooh and something called Midsummer Night - yum.

LisMcA · 03/02/2011 13:17

Cinnamon here! Yummy!

KnowNothing · 03/02/2011 13:21

There is a midnight jasmine one which is lovely. Can anyone recommend the cheapest place to get them please? My local garden centre is so over priced for everything...

brimfull · 03/02/2011 16:12

wish I knew a cheap place to get them

apparently qvc do them but not sure if they're any cheaper as you have to pay p&p

they don't compare to cheap ikea ones imo

cybbo · 03/02/2011 16:17

but they look soooo naff

The jars are awful

really really old fashioned

I think its the stupid stoppers that ruin it

I buy nice to look at scented candles from TK MAXX

chimchar · 03/02/2011 16:25

Try yankee doodle online for good offers.

My fave at the mo is brown sugar and cinnamon.

I also love farmers Market. It's spicy and delicious!

valiumredhead · 03/02/2011 16:39

The rose one - Fresh Cut Roses? It's lovely. I have Clean Cotton freshener in my car :)
