I was wanting to stock up on some Yankee wax tarts to use over the Christmas period and so on a recent trip into town, I visited branches of Clintons and Collectables to see what was available. I had already decided I would only purchase tarts from the large festive range available and use this as an opportunity to try some I had not bought before. And so staying away from my favourite couple of wax tarts which I always buy when I am in town, I concentrated only on the festive fragranced wax. There were a few of these particular wax tarts in stock in Clintons, but I found there was more to choose from in Collectables. The prices were the same in both shops, £1.20 ...  Read the complete review

For Christmas this year one of my friends got me a lovely little box as part of my present which inside had a bath bomb and a few yankee candle wax tarts in which she knows I love. One of the tarts included was the Christmas tree fragrance and I was excited to use it as I just love the smell of fresh Christmas trees though it is not something that I have ever had in my own home. Yankee candle wax tarts were my first experience with Yankee candle as a brand and I have since bought a few small candle jars from them too but been left disappointed with the fragrance released from them in comparison to the wax tarts. For those who may not be aware a wax tart is a ...  Read the complete review

~Christmas Tree~ Christmas Tree, as you would expect given its title, is part of the festive scent range offered by candle company, Yankee Candle. It can be bought in different formats which carry different price tags including the cheaper wax tarts and votives and also the more expensive candle jars.

It should be melted in a tart burner and can be re-used until the scent is no longer noticeable. Yankee Candle state around 8 hours of scent will be achieved but this varies from scent to ...  Read the complete review

~~ Yankee Candle Christmas Tree ~~ I'm a huge fan of beautifully fragranced candles and own a large stash of products from two high quality brands, namely Shearers and Yankee Candle. Despite being extremely disciplined for a good few months where I vowed not to purchase any new ones until I'd used my existing supplies, I weakened during the January sales where I found several Christmas fragrances available at discounted prices. A number of purchases were made with this review discussing Christmas Tree, which I own in the wax tart format. I must admit that it was the 50% off sticker that initially attracted me to the circular fluted 22g ...  Read the complete review

My first experience with Yankee Candle wax tarts came when I received a burner and 2 tarts as a gift set for Xmas. One of the tarts was Christmas Tree, the green tart emitted a strong woody smell through the cellophane and I couldn't wait to make my home smell festive. The tarts are designed to be used with a tart burner to melt the wax and fragrance the home. The fragrance starts to fill the room within about 5 minutes of lighting the tea-light. The fragrance is a woody pine scent which is quite pungent - others have compared it to toilet cleaner! The tart melts completely within about twenty minutes and the fragrance fills the room. I really like the ...  Read the complete review
