What on Earth happened to Yankee Candle?? I had no idea the company was sold by the original owners and turned into something I don't recognize. The moment I received these candles (took forever) and opened them, I was shocked, blown away, at how low quality and cheap/artificial smelling they are! My goodness, these are on par with dollar-store level quality, maybe CVS/Walgreens! I only lit two of the ten I ordered, only for a short period before I had to put them out. They had a weird "after-smell".. I can't describe it, but unlike the wonderful, flavorful, imaginative scents that used to be Yankee Candle, these are hard to stomach! The others I didn't light, I had to put away in another room because UNLIT and closed, they were filling the room with a weird stench. I'm not a complainer but I am HIGHLY disappointed.
Maybe I should've done research first about the company. I did look at reviews on YC and surprisingly, somehow, you guys still get great reviews. I don't know if people lost their sense of smell or what, but this is a complete 180 from the Yankee Candles I remember from years ago. Those smelled so good I swear I wanted to eat the wax! These are NOT that!
These will be flying back to YC Returns. It's also extremely disappointing that I have to spend $30 of my own money to send them back. Nearest YC store is ~50 miles one way from where I live. So I basically lost $30 to try out some stinky candles!
I'm sorry guys but I'm a dissatisfied customer. I will be going over to Kringle Candle which I found out is the real Yankee Candle, with a different name. Sorry!
