Yankee CandleFresh Cut Roses Scented Premium 22oz Single Wick Candle Over 110 Hours of Long-Lasting Aroma Ideal for Home Decor Gifting and Events Classic Large Jar Pink

I happen to love the scent of lilacs. The flowers and their scent (along with lillies of the valley) are the epitome of springtime and the month of May for me, as my Mother's birthday was in May and rarely did a year go by without this one relative bringing her a big bouquet of freshly cut lilacs she had cut from the lilac bushes growing on her property. My sister and I would pick lillies of the valley, since they bloomed at the same time, but safely at ground level so it was something we could manage.This Yankee Candle Company's lilac candle smells so similar to a lilac bloom it really is quite amazing for me to realize it is actually a candle emitting the scent I smell now when using it and not an actual lilac flower in a bouquet sitting on a table someplace back in time in mid May. I love it. The lilac scent from this candle is really quite strong in its intensity, as lilacs are known to be. Since this candle came in a large styled mason jar with removable lid, I can just remove the lid and not even burn the candle to get a whiff of the scent. Actually burning the candle gives you even a stronger scent. The pastel purple coloring of the wax used is pretty to see, and perfect for a lilac scented candle.I happen to like the larger sized candles in the mason jar made by Yankee Candle Company more than their smaller sized candles. While heavier and larger than their other candles, the lid fits tightly on its top when not burning the candle, helping to preserve the scent of the candle for a longer period of time, as well as keeping the candle free from dust etc, if you want to store the candle away for a time. The mason jars look good sitting out on a counter or table. Candles made in them are harder to light however after they have burned down lower in the jar, as you either need a long match, a piece of spaghetti, or else a lighter that can reach the wick when you want to burn the candle.I am not sure if the wax is of soy or from petroleum, as soy is considered cleaner overall for the environment when you burn a candle, that according to those who should actually know will say, but this candle burns well and is one of my favorite scented candles I have tried, and so I will purchase this again in the future, rather than trying another. Personally, I prefer the scented candle better than the actual lilac bush which I had planted in the yard at one time, as the candle is easier to maintain and smells just as good as the real bush.This candle was a win-win for me on all accounts and I highly recommend it if you love the scent of lilacs and wish you could smell their blooms year round.

... Yankee has always been a great candles with wonderfully smelling scents, no matter which 1 U buy. Long lasting, down 2 the end of the wick n wax. 💯

Beauty:Love the smell but it would have been better if left at the right place

This is such a lovely, longer lasting fragrance. Due to pets, I use it with a candle warmer lamp. A great buy.

I’ve always loved the lilac blossoms scent from Yankee Candle, and this 22oz large jar candle didn’t disappoint in that aspect—it smells amazing and sets a perfect mood for gatherings or seasonal decor. However, I was surprised at how fast it burned. Despite the advertised 110+ hours of burn time, it was completely gone within a week, much quicker than I expected. It’s a nice product for the fragrance, but the burn time could be improved.

Price is right👍 My favorite scent, lavendar😊 Will continue to order, probably two at a time this time!

Great Fragrance - the was pooled quickly and filled the room with fragrance! Def recommend.

For years I refused to buy Yankee Candles because the high prices are ridiculous to me..Well, after years of protest (and seeing a few on sale lol) I have decided to check them out for the very first time.It's a 1 wick candle so I made sure to burn the candle long enough to reach a full melt pool.Being a candle maker myself I know that wax has a "memory".If you don't burn the candle long enough the wax will develop a barrier. So each time you burn the candle the wax will not melt beyond that barrier, meaning, it will not complete a full melt pool (wax reaching the edges of the container).I only light my candles when I have time to stay home awhile and enjoy it , giving it time to do its thing.The candle burned slow and after a few hours I got a full melt pool.Amazing scent!The scent throw was strong but not overpowering.Yes the flame was a bit high but with such a large jar and being that it is a single wick, the wick has to burn hotter in order to reach a full melt pool.I typically snuff out the flame when I see a complete melt pool. And I loved how the candle continued to fill the room with fragrance for hours even without the flame.Yes Yankee Candles are a bit expensive but so worth it.New Customer!
