Advantages: Real strawberry smell

Disadvantages: Pricey so shop around

Of all the fruity scented Yankee Candles Sweet Strawberry is my favourite. Readers over a certain age will remember how strawberries used to taste before mass production in greenhouses churning out the far less tasty varieties began. They were lucious,juicy,soft and so sweet you didn't have to add any sugar to them. Well this is what Sweet Strawberry smells like just like an old fashioned strawberry. With my eyes closed I could just imagine a lovely bowlfull sitting in front of me waiting to be devoured when I smell this candle. Just looking at it's lovely red colour accompanied by the delicious aroma makes it almost good enough to eat!

This one comes in various forms but in this case I am reviewing the jar version which has some advantages over tealights and votives. Firstly it lasts much longer with a burn time of 30-45 hours for the small jar (£6.36), 45-90 hours for the medium jar (£12.74) and 90-150 hours for the large jar (£15.29). Prices quoted are from the Scented Candle Shop.com who have a 15% off offer on at the moment with free next day delivery when spending over £20 . This is the cheapest I have found them at but be prepared to pay more if you go elsewhere.
Secondly when extinguishing a candle you always get that burning smell for a few seconds whereas with a jar candle you simply replace the top which cuts off the air supply and the candle goes out leaving no nasty niffs! The glass jars can also be reused once washed out either for making your own candles in or as storage jars.
So would I recommend Sweet Strawberry? Yes without doubt if you like fruity smells to refresh your home this is definitely one of the best. Go to your local garden centre and smell the strawberries in a jar and I'm sure you'll love it!
