Yankee Candle: Home Sweet Home Review

Lately I have been OBSESSED with candles and this candle is one of my favourites. 


Yankee candles in general are amazing, and although they are abit on the expensive side, they last me for ages and ages, compared to the £3 ones from IKEA that run out within a week and don't really give off a lot of smell. 

The Home Sweet Home scent is really overpowering with cinnamon when you first smell it, but once it is lit it gives off a nice subtle smell of cinnamon with some other spices that I cannot put my finger on. 

I would tell you what they are but I don't know and it doesn't say on the jar itself what type of spices are used. 


It does give off a really homely smell, like a warm winter smell. It is like the cinnamon candle in there range, but just sort of less cinnamon. I'm really bad at describing things, sorry! 

The only annoying thing about this candle is that I found the Wix was too high at the beginning and when I left it near a wall, it actually burnt my wall, and now I have 2 big burns in there. But then again, maybe I just shouldn't have put it so close to the wall! Haha


I hope you enjoyed this blog post review and come back soon. Follow me and subscribe and don't forget to leave any comments

Quick Tip: leave it to burn all the way around so that you are not left with that really annoying wax rim around the out side of the jar to make it last longer!

Yankee Candle: Review

For Christmas I got a Yankee Candle products. I got a Yankee Candle in the scent Black Cherry and I also got an air freshener in the same scent. This is the second Yankee candle I have owned. The first one was a spiced manderine and cranberries of something like that. I liked that one, but I like the Black Cherry one more. 
Yankee Candles are my favourite candles, because they last a really long time. They also smell for a really long time and the scent doesn't fade. With the candle I usually light it for a good few hours and then the smell stays in my room. The candles last for 3-4 months if you light then every few days for a few hours, and although they may be expensive, it is worth it. 
The only this I have to say about then is that, because there is only 1 lighter bit in the middle, it doesn't get all the wax off from the rim. They could do with 2 or 3, like the ones from bath and body works. However, it still lasts a long time. 
With the air freshener, I find this amazing. I have never had anything like this before. I have had this for over a month, and there is a lid that you can put it back on top, however within the first day I had lost the lid, so it has been in continuously since Christmas Day, and there is still a lot of product left. This also leaves my room smelling amazing. Another reason why I love it is because even when I don't shut my door all the way, the smell still lingers in my room and when you go in it smells amazing!!! The packaging I love also, as it looks pretty and posh.
