Sun and sand= sun screen in your house!
Love the smell! I’ll admit it smells like I sprayed sunscreen in the house but that’s what I love! And I have a pina colda candle going in another room yeah it’s good! I am using with a burner lamp to prolong use and literally after 10min the smell!!

Hello, we are very sorry to hear about your experience, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Receiving a candle that appears to have been previously burned is certainly not the level of quality we aim to provide, and we understand how disappointing that must be, especially with a favorite like Balsam & Cedar. Please know that this is not representative of our standards. We will be sharing your feedback with our team to help ensure this does not happen again in the future. Please note that all Yankee Candle products are quality-checked before leaving our facilities. However, since this item was purchased at Target, we recommend reaching out to Target directly for the fastest replacement or refund, as they manage returns for products sold through their stores and website. If you need any additional assistance from us, 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

Too light but still sweet enough
It’s very light but sweet. It smells very similar to Yankee Candle’s Christmas Cookie scent. I love the idea and name of this candle but Christmas Cookie is stronger!

Doesnt really smell
This doesn’t smell outside of the jar. Lit it for several hours, in a small kitchen, there was no scent. Surprised me because Yankee candle usually is very fragrant. Goose Creek seems the best.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Coconut Beach Original Large Jar Candle. We’re sorry to hear that the fragrance didn’t meet your expectations, especially after several hours of burn time in a smaller space where you should have experienced a noticeable scent throw. Our Coconut Beach fragrance is designed to deliver a warm, tropical blend of creamy coconut, pineapple, and vanilla notes, so we understand how disappointing it must have been not to experience that while the candle was lit. While every candle is carefully crafted and tested for performance, factors like wick condition, airflow, and even batch variation can sometimes affect how fragrance is released. We’re especially concerned to hear this differs from your past experiences with Yankee Candle, as delivering strong, consistent fragrance has always been a priority for us. 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

I've had jar candles from other competitors arrive completely shattered. Target did a great job shipping these. I ordered 3 candles and all were carefully wrapped and arrived in perfect condition!

Scent
Changed the scent. It smells like Glade air freshener now.

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

Bakery Fresh Goodness!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vanilla Cupcake candle is absolutely amazing. It smells incredible and just fun. The scent instantly reminds you of a fresh bakery, and the kids love it- the scent is pure joy and happiness. It’s easily one of my favorites—I highly recommend it!

No Scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this candle based on other reviews and when I burn it, there is no scent whatsoever. I can burn the candle for several hours and there is nothing. I'm unsure if it's just this particular candle or this scent in general. Typically when I burn a candle a nice scent will fill my home/

Hello, We’re so sorry to hear this fragrance didn’t meet your expectations. We know how disappointing it is when the scent experience doesn’t match what you were hoping for. Fragrance throw can be affected by room size, airflow, and burn time. For the best experience, we recommend ensuring the wick is trimmed to about 1/4 inch and allowing a full melt pool to form on the first burn. If you’re still experiencing issues, please reach out to us via https://www.yankeecandle.com/support/customer-service or through Live Chat starting your complaint, so we will be happy to help. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am – 8pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Yankee Candle® Consumer Care

Hello Ruby, We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please contact the Customer Service of Target to get the issue resolved. Take into consideration that the rating and review system are for the product and not for the store, orders or delivery issues. The products MUST arrive in good condition and this is the responsibility of the store and not the brand. Thanks so much. Have a wonderful day. —Yankee Candle Consumer Care

Hello, thank you so much for sharing your honest feedback about our Vanilla Cupcake Original Large Jar Candle. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t meet the expectations you’ve come to associate with Yankee Candle. We understand how disappointing it can be when a favorite fragrance like Vanilla Cupcake Original Large Jar Candle doesn’t perform the way you remember.

As part of our commitment to innovation and sustainability, we recently introduced a new Premium Plant Wax Blend in many of our candles. This updated formula is designed to provide a cleaner, more consistent burn while supporting our environmental goals. That said, we recognize that changes in wax composition can affect fragrance throw and performance, and your feedback is incredibly important as we continue refining our formulas.
