Q: Should you cut the wick before burning candle

submitted by Debbie - 9 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.

    Almost like walking through a garden of lilacs

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the scent of this candle similar to the "real" lilac bushes that surrounded our home when I was growing up. Very pleasant.

    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.

    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

    Beautiful but not pungent

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the smell of lilacs but the scent is barely noticeable. Im kinda disappointed that a big branded company doesnt compare to cheaper options.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 1 month ago
    Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Lilac Blossoms Original Large Jar Candle. We are sorry to hear that the fragrance was barely noticeable and did not deliver the strong lilac scent you were hoping for. We understand how disappointing that can be. To help enhance the fragrance experience, we recommend trimming the wick before each burn and allowing the candle to burn for up to 4 hours so the wax can fully melt across the surface. Burning the candle in a smaller enclosed room away from drafts or airflow may also help the scent become more noticeable. Additionally, some fragrances are naturally more subtle than others, and floral scents can vary in intensity depending on their composition. We appreciate you 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

    Great scent but very weak hot throw

    I love the scent of this candle. Love love love it. But I have begun to notice that Yankee Candles sold at Target have nearly NO hot throw once they are burning. I bought two of these and could barely smell the scent…even with one placed in a bathroom and the door shut. I am boycotting Yankee Candle now after this stunt.
    1 reply from Yankeecandle Consumer Care team - 2 months ago
    Hello! We’re sorry to hear you’re not fully satisfied with the experience, as we take great pride in using as much fragrance oil as possible to create scents that are true-to-life and designed to burn beautifully from the first use to the last. Please note that some fragrances are naturally stronger than others—similar to a bouquet where certain flowers stand out more. Individual scent perception can also vary, and environmental factors like room size, airflow, and temperature may affect how strongly a fragrance is experienced. To get the best performance of your candle, we recommend following the standard burn cycle: - Burn for 4 hours the first time (industry recommendation). - At the 4-hour mark, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, and trim the wick before relighting. - Within this first cycle, the wax should fully pool across the surface, though in some environments this may happen sooner (30–60 minutes). If you follow the steps above and still experience issues with weak or not strong enough fragrance, please reach out to us via official Yankee Candle "Contact Us" 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
