“Yankee Candles [are] an unparalleled value for the length of burn time and the quality of the scent,” one reviewer wrote. “The floral scents are true floral scents, almost as heady as the real blossoms themselves. [The large jars offer] the best value, giving a couple hundred-plus hours of burn time. The only maintenance is trimming the wick after each burn and occasionally wiping off the black soot from the top inch or so of the inside of the jar rim.”
“If you like the smell of lilacs as much as I do, you’ll appreciate the throw this particular scent and brand has,” said another shopper. “I’m a huge fan of Yankee Candle; I’ve bought hundreds through the years, and this is one of my favorites. This is a candle best suited for open or larger areas — that’s just because it’s so strong. It really smells like lilac flowers.”
If your home or office is in need of an olfactory makeover, get the lilac-scented Yankee Candle for over 50% off and enjoy the scent of blooming flowers at all hours of the day.
