Anyone here know of LONG LASTING SCENTED CANDLES?
« on: June 17, 2012, 09:27:47 am »
 ??? I know there are a lot of scented candles on the market BUT they burn for an hour then there is very little or NO smell after that. I want a candle that smells sweet and spicy from the beginning to the end.

I have tried store brands but for know GLADE is the top candle.

The best candle I ever gotten was a Gold Canyon candle.  They have the best scents and last a very long time.  They can be pretty expensive, but for what you get, I think the price is ok.  Also have you tried the Scensies.  They are not a candle, but they use scented wax that is melted using a small wattage of lite bulb.  You can find the generic brand of this at most Wal Mart stores.  They are good with the scents that last a long time, plus you don't have to worry about a flame.

I am a big fan of Yankee candles, but I have found that if you don't keep the glass top that the smell will not last as well.
Also there are certain smells from Wal-Mart, their brand, that are fantasic.  Usually you can get a pack with different sizes for $10.  It's cheap just candles and I was very impressed with how strong the smell was even a month after the initial burn.

I like PartyLite because they last a long time and burn completely and evenly and have lots of different scents.  You can probably go to their website and find a local representative.  If you don't mind having parties you could probably earn them free.  If you don't like hosting then I am sure a rep would be glad to sell the product anyway.

Although they cost a little more I know partylite candles are long lasting and the scent smells during the entire burn time.  Yankee is a good band too.  There are some smaller stores that carry yankee that offer clubs..ie: candle of the month and so forth.  The Yankee website offers deals regularly that come through e-mail but then you get slammed with shipping and handling costs.  You can always make your own...that way you come up with a wax and scent formula that meets your needs the entire burn time.

I've used Yankee candles before and numerous other brands. I like Yankees. Glade is nice too. My sister bought a Febreeze brand holiday scented candle last December and it was really great. It was a pine scented one, I loved it! The scent was strong enough and lasted a long time.  :thumbsup:

If you have a TJMaxx near you, shop there for candles, great variety...exactly what you are looking for  :thumbsup:

if you're worried about the price of yankee candles
(i never buy them at the store or regular price)... tj maxx,
marshalls, and burlington coat factory all sell yankee candles
from $5.99 - $9.99. it's WORTH it! the large ones last
for a few months if you burn them every other day for a few
hours, and they smell up the whole house.

i also like the bath &body works wallflowers, but definitely
go on their website and read the reviews for some of the scents.
some are MUCH weaker than others and aren't worth it.
i have ''marshmallow fireside'' plugged in right now, and it's by
far the strongest, long-lasting scent i've found at BBW.
