I've tried Yankee Candle Candles in the past ( the ones in the large jars ) and have been quite disappointed ( I was often left with excess wax and they didn't give off a scent ). These however are a different ball game.

As you can probably tell from the photograph above, I received this tart burner along with 10 wax tarts as a christmas gift (that I cheekily asked Santa for!). Having poor past experience with candles and scraping out wax I thought these would be a better alternative that would be less harsh on the pocket everytime I had finished burning them.

For those that do not understand wax burners, basically you light a tea light ( available from most supermarkets or IKEA) and place it inside the burner. Above you place the wax tart ( sold like above) and allow it to heat and melt, eventually burning away.

These yankee candle tarts take ages to burn and give off a very strong and pleasant scent. I have been reaching for these very frequently lately and find that these can quickly fill a room with their great scent.

Overall I highly recommend this tart burner and yankee candle scents as a great alternative to standard candles. I know that, at least with the scents that I have tried, they are excellent quality and all give off the same amount of scent, much more than your regular candles at much less of a price!
