How do yankee candles work

Pssst: Don't forget to trim your wicks at home to help the candle last longer. Since the candles shrink when they cool, they need to be topped off with just a little more wax. A machine applies labels onto the jars, and then they're packaged and shipped to stores Across all of its product lines, Yankee Candle has more than 50 fragrances.

And the company produces more than million candles per year! Yankee Candles are made from paraffin wax. The wax and fragrance oils used in Yankee Candles are sensitive to both temperature and light. Extreme heat will cause your Yankee Candle to fade or discolour, extreme cold causes cracking and separation.

Therefore, is it important to store your jar in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended by Yankee Candle that your candle should not burn for more than four hours at a time. The candle should be extinguished, allow to cool for two hours and you should trim the wick 3mm before relighting. A Yankee Candle wick trimmer makes this task easy and creates a nice clean cut that properly maintains the wick. Yankee Candle recommends the use of the Illuma-Lids to prevent tunnelling and to promote a clean, even burn that uses every inch of wax.

The Illuma-Lid sits on top of the large or medium jars and helps to steady the flame so that an even wax pool is formed. The specially designed shape of the Illuma-Lid helps to keep the heat of the flame inside the jar. The result is a jar that burns clean and even while allowing superb distribution of the fragrance.

Yankee Candle recommend that you discontinue use of your candle when 1cm of wax remains at the bottom of the jar. I know from experience that it's hard to find enough time for a proper burn. The solution? Buy a candle with two or three wicks. More flames means more heat — which leads to a quicker melt. On that note: Be wary of extra-wide candles that only have one wick. If the candle surface has just one wick and a diameter of more than 3 or 4 inches, don't buy it.

One wick will never produce enough heat to melt it all the way across. Do your best to keep your burning candle away from fans, air conditioners, open windows, or heavily trafficked areas where people walk back and forth a lot. People liked the name, but were disappointed that it didn't have a fragrance. So the company re-released it, this time as a light blue scented candle. The puzzles had pieces, including a couple that were jar-shaped. They were available in a number of top-selling fragrances, with images that were somewhat related to the scent.

There are a few on eBay , if you're interested. First, the company works with prominent international fragrance houses, who submit about 1, or so new fragrance ideas. Then they work with the fragrance houses and global trend researchers to identify big trends in food, fragrance, lifestyle, home decor, and color, which helps them decide which fragrances from the list should make the cut.
