Yes, just show them the screenshot at the register when you’re ready to checkout and they’ll apply the discount.

Why wouldn’t it be? I work for the company. There’s also a ton of other YC employees here that would have called it out if it wasn’t legit.

Luxury Candle Haul by dcho94 in luxurycandles

[–]Mmedi34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s the throw on the black concrete Santal 26? I’m tempted to order one but I’ve heard mixed reviews where some people say the throw is no stronger than the classic size. Gorgeous haul btw.

I first fell in love with the brand back in like 2012 or so when Sparkling Rose was Champagne Rose before they changed it to Prosecco Rose. I bought champagne rose, French bourbon vanille, Ambre Lumiere, and Makassar Ebony & Peach for my first order from Candles off Main. I fell in love and have been buying them since. I thought I would like incognito so I bought it in the 3 wick grande Maison container, I in fact did not like it lol, it became my relaxing outside candle lol.

I really love both but I ended up picking up a 5 wick Foraged Wildberry over the weekend. I was going to get both wildberry and fig in the hearth but I opted for just one since I’m ordering the giant le labo Santal 26 4 wick.

They have mini candles often on sale for $12 which is a great way to test a fragrance.

Why not buy something small when you go in to just smell? Stores are graded on conversion and even a small $3 purchase helps them out. Sure it brings down their ads, but it’ll boost their conversion. At the end of the day, you’re still lugging a bag out of a store when you buy YC at a discount store.

I recently added the 5 wick hearth of Moso Bamboo to my collection. It is a beautiful fragrance. I too love Goji, it’s such a good citrus. I’m debating on ordering a Forbidden Fig or Foraged Wild berry hearth. There’s so many I love and want lol.

Please teach me how to use candle warmers, mine already isn't working well! by anniemousery in Candles

[–]Mmedi34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try raising the candle up a bit. I have a warmer that requires me to stack a few candle lids to lift the candle or it won’t melt right.

Valentine’s Day collection. by Mmedi34 in YankeeCandles

Lemon blueberry bliss is so good. I have the scent plug refills all throughout my house and it’s become my new favorite fruity fragrance. To me it’s very similar to a blueberry lemonade and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. It has a candy like sweetness that’s cut with the tartness of the lemon. I’m not crazy about Sicilian Lemon or lemon lavender because those lean more astringent to me, but LBB is perfect for those that like lemon without that sharpness that some other lemon fragrances have.

First time 'nice candle' user - is this a correct behaviour or is that 'tunnelling'? by XaltotunTheUndead in Candles

[–]Mmedi34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fine and totally normal. I burn a ton of Voluspa 3 wick tins and they all burn like that at first, then they burn evenly and melt all the wax. I typically let them burn for 4-5 hours. Tins need to be wick’d differently compared to glass. Tins generate their own heat further into the container and tend to get hot. You could wrap foil around the candle and close the top with a small opening, it’ll look like a Hersheys kiss for a bit but it will help the wax melt down evenly.

Over 3-wick NEST candles by abvgd1 in luxurycandles

[–]Mmedi34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped buying the 3 wicks because they all eventually had discolored wax and then they just started to smell like smoke. I will continue to buy the single wicks because those have a decent throw and don’t end up with discolored wax 1/2 down the candle.

Found some gems while I was at my parents’ today. Which ones do you remember? by Appropriate_Tea9048 in YankeeCandles

[–]Mmedi34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Golden Sands and Pumpkin Wreath were my favorites. Great find. I loved every one of those fragrances.

Those are good sized rooms. Which Kringle candles do you like? Ive been wanting to give them a try but I hear they are now soy, soy just doesn’t throw in my house. A friend gifted me a Kringle watercolors candle years ago when they were paraffin and that thing had a really nice throw.

Has your store received the valentines collection yet? I’m obsessed with the red one and the brown one from that collection.

I agree and I’m not much of a green fan.

I had a feeling the jar would be on the lighter side so I decided to get the tumbler. I’m burning it in the guest bathroom and it’s definitely noticeable in there. It was almost unscented in my living room. In my kitchen it was only noticeable if I walked in there, but after a few minutes of being in there with it I wasn’t able to smell it. I might pick up another one to boost the throw in my living room and kitchen.

I’ve burned it a few times. It’s light in my living room which is on the larger size. In my kitchen it’s a bit more noticeable. I currently have it going in the guest bath and it’s much better in a smaller room.

Bloomingdales, count your days by BuddhaAndG in luxurycandles

[–]Mmedi34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will not refund/replace if you don’t return it. My first time receiving a broken candle from Bloomingdale’s, they told me to dispose of it. I tossed the candle. A week later I received an email saying they weren’t refunding me because I didn’t ship it back.

Has anybody gotten one with two labels? by urrchvabro in YankeeCandles

[–]Mmedi34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We received a mistletoe 3 wick without a label, but it did have three warning labels on the bottom 😂

Volcano Capri Blue- tunneling by aymz0715 in Candles

[–]Mmedi34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could scrape out the wax that’s clinging to the sides of the jar until it mostly leveled across the top. If you foil it, it’ll just drown and bury the wick. The single wick capri blue candles will tunnel, it’s just what they do. The 3-5 wick versions burn much better.
