Advantages: Candle burns evenly, scent stays constant

Disadvantages: can be a bit on the expensive side

I have bought a number of yankee candles over the years. I have often bought the little "tester" candles as they fit well in the votives I have next to my TV.

The scent they give off is very good, and really smells as they are supposed to. I know there are many scented candles marked "cool cotton" or "cotton fresh" but as soon as you take the lid off or light the "fresh cotton" candle you head is filled with images of washing swaying in the breeze.

They are a bit pricey but you are paying for the quality of the scent and also the quality of the candle. I have found that they burn down very slowly, but also very evenly. I think this is probably due to the fact that as they are in a jar they are unaffected by drafts which can cause candles to burn unevenly.

I have had a "christmas fragrance" candle for about 5 years now and the scent is as strong and pleasant as it was when I bought it. I only light it for the christmas holiday and then put the lid back on and pack it away with the decorations. However I expected it to have faded a bit by now but it hasn't.

Summary: Worth paying the bit extra for a quality product
