Q: Should you cut the wick before burning candle

submitted by Debbie - 5 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! If you have anymore questions, 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

    Scent

    Changed the scent. It smells like Glade air freshener now.
    1 reply from Yankeecandle Consumer Care team - 7 days ago
    Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Clean Cotton® Original Large Jar Candle. We’re really sorry to hear that the scent didn’t meet your expectations. Clean Cotton® is designed to evoke the fresh, airy scent of sun-dried laundry with notes of white flowers, green accords, and a hint of lemon. That said, we understand that fragrance is very personal, and we’re disappointed to hear it came across as more like an air freshener than the soft, natural freshness you were hoping for. We haven’t intentionally altered the fragrance profile, but factors like wax composition, burn conditions, or even storage can sometimes impact how a scent is perceived. Your feedback is important, and we’ll be sure to share it with our product team for review. If you need our help, please contact our Consumer Care team, or you can also check at the bottom of our official website under customer service to contact us via email. We are looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you! Yankee Candle Consumer Care

    Classic, musky scent

    Not as strong as it used to be
    1 reply from Yankeecandle Consumer Care team - 1 month ago
    Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Vanilla Cupcake® Original Large Jar Candle. We’re sorry to hear that the fragrance didn’t seem as strong as you remember. We know how disappointing that can be, especially when it’s a favorite scent you’ve enjoyed before. Vanilla Cupcake® is crafted to deliver a rich, sweet aroma inspired by freshly baked vanilla cupcakes with notes of buttery icing and warm cake. While our fragrance formulas are carefully developed to provide a consistent experience, factors such as room size, ceiling height, airflow, and even seasonal temperature changes can affect how strongly a scent is perceived. For the best fragrance performance, we recommend allowing the candle to burn until a full melt pool forms across the top of the wax during each use, especially the first burn. Keeping the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch before lighting can also help promote an even, steady burn and optimal scent throw. In larger or more open spaces, burning more than one candle can help enhance fragrance distribution. If you need our help, please contact our Consumer Care team, or you can also check at the bottom of our official website under customer service to contact us via email. We are looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you! Yankee Candle Consumer Care

    Wouldn’t recommend at all. You cannot smell it even sitting right next to the candle with it lit. Don’t waste your time or money.

    Hi! Thank you for your feedback on the Dried Lavender & Oak Original Large Jar Candle. We're sorry to hear that the scent did not meet your expectations. Here are a few tips to help enhance the fragrance of your candle: 1. Make sure to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use. This helps the candle burn more evenly and can improve the scent throw. 2. When you light the candle, let it burn until the entire surface has melted to the edges. This can take a few hours but helps to release the maximum fragrance. 3. Using the candle in a smaller, enclosed space can help concentrate the scent. 4. Keep the candle away from drafts, vents, or fans. Airflow can disperse the fragrance and cause uneven burning. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration for future products. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to us directly via Contact Us form on our website. Thank you! Yankee Candle Consumer Care

    MIDSUMMER IS GO-TO

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the past 10+ years, Midsummer has been my "GO-TO" candle. The scent is amazing and fills the room quickly. With a constant burn time, I can usually get about 3 straight days without extinguishment.

    Used to have a strong throw

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very disappointed in this candle. I had this candle years ago and loved it! Masculine scent, reminded me of men’s cologne , with a strong throw . But this candle is nothing like it used to be. No throw at all! As a matter of fact, it doesn’t even smell from the jar! I love candles with a strong throw and that is what I was expecting at all. Not sure what has happened with Yankee Candle, but my past purchases have been disappointing also. So sad about what is happening with the quality
