I love yankee candles but I have always found them to be a little out of my price range, so only usually got them as gifts for christmas. That was until I discovered the wax tarts (thanks to reviews on DooYoo!).

The wax tarts are small little petal shaped wax circles which you melt in an oil or tart burner. They retail for between £1 and £2 depending on where you shop, you tend to be able to find them cheaper online on websites such as Ebay or Amazon though. I would recommend buying the Yankee wax tart burner, which is a lovely little tulip shaped burner perfect for these tarts, and whats better is it only costs around £6 - bargain!

So, the tarts are said to last for around 8 hours burning time, but I have found them to last a lot longer than this. This particular tart is very strong, so I have found that I only have to leave it in the burner with a lit candle for around 10-15 minutes before my whole room and flat smells very strongly of strawberry. Although I do love sweet scents, particularly strawberry, this one is a little bit to sweet and sickly for me. Within around 10 minutes of burning the scent is so strong that if i left it on much longer it would probaby give me a headache. The smell is nice, but there is just a bit too much of it for my liking. Having said this, if I only have to burn this for around 10 minutes at a time and I get a minimum of 8 hours burning time, this tart is going to last me a long time!

Removing the tarts from your burner is very simple, simply push a knife or similar implement into one side and the tart will pop out in one piece. This is great if you want to swap it for another scent halfway through its use.

Overall, this is not one of my favourite scents from the wax tart range. I find it too strong and sickly, but then thats just my opinion on the smell. As a wax tart this is great as your barely have to burn it for any time at all before the scent fills your room - which means it is great value for money. If you like the smell of strawberries and fruit then go ahead and give it a try!
