Q: Should you cut the wick before burning candle

submitted by Debbie - 10 months ago
  • A: Hello. Thank you for your question about our Ocean Air Original Large Jar Candle! Yes, we recommend trimming the wick to about 1/8 inch before each burn. This helps ensure a clean, even burn and prevents issues like smoking or soot. For best results, allow the wax to melt across the entire surface on your first burn to help the candle maintain an even pool each time. We hope you enjoy the refreshing scent of Ocean Air!

    An Italian scent!

    The Sicilian Lemon 🍋 is wonderful! I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and sweet the lemon scent is for this candle. The throw is amazing. I’ve had other lemon-like type of candles that were too strong for my liking, but this Sicilian lemon is one for the books and one I’ll keep in stock. I do wish Yankee made this in a cup or wax melt as well.

    Best smell ever

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Favorite hands-down pink sands can’t go wrong, it burns slow. The fragrance is to die, for the longevity of the candle will last forever.

    smaller, different ingredients, no scent

    You can smell it a little upon opening but not while burning, so no covid. Another greedy co ruined a good product. I used to only burn for an hour with how scented these were and now each time nostalgia gets better of me and I give it another try it is even weaker scent. I'm done with YC.
    1 reply from Yankeecandle Consumer Care team - 1 month ago
    Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Home Sweet Home® Original Large Jar Candle. We're sorry to hear that the fragrance throw did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it is when a favorite scent no longer seems as strong as you remember, especially when you've enjoyed it for many years. Some fragrances are naturally more subtle than others. For the best fragrance performance, we recommend trimming the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each burn and allowing the candle to burn for up to 4 hours at a time (the industry standard) so a full melt pool can develop, helping to maximize the fragrance throw. We truly appreciate your long-time support and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 8pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Yankeecandle® Consumer Care

    Always in my lineup

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my go to candle. Pink sands is a little sweet and a little floral. It is not overwhelming and gives the room a clean and fresh smell. No matter what else is available, pink sands is always in the line up for me.

    Pretty but weak...

    On a cold sniff this candle has a very pretty scent however it has an extremely weak throw when lit. I was very disappointed in that as I really like the scent. Perfect for a bedroom night table or bathroom vanity.
