i was really disappointed with this product.it's aroma was gone. i found yankee candle in the mall & they said even tho i burned the candle over half way i was able to get another one of the same scent. what a difference. yankee candles are guaranteed. i will not buy yankee candles from anyone BUT yankee candle,co.

I bought the small jar. It is half empty. That was earlier this week. That is how awesome this candle smells. This is my new favorite candle. If you miss summer light up this candle. Pop in an Ocean Surf CD, and drift away. Pretend you're on a beach and take a sniff of the salty air. I love this candle. I want the largest size so I can get my Sun & Sand fix. At first when I smelled it in the store, I wasn't too thrilled with it. Then when I lit it, I was like "Wow!" It may smell different just sniffing it but, you really need to light it to be sure. Also get the car jars! Then you get double the smells!

This is one of the best Yankee Candle scents I've ever enjoyed! I found these on sale last year after Christmas and bought one. After lighting it and realizing how awesome it was, I bought a couple more. These are great to have not only at Christmastime but at any other time of the year. I just turn it around where you can't see the label and/or peel the label off. It is a pretty color AND it smells WONDERFUL! I highly recommend this 'Christmas Cookie' Yankee Candle. You won't be disappointed!

I'm starting to wonder if I got a dud candle or something. I could barely smell anything from this, which is not usually an issue with Yankee. I got this sort of generic sweet scent, none of the nuances of sand and water that I was expecting, and barely any scent to boot. I may have to revisit this one, because my experience was pretty out of character for Yankee- their scents (even if I don't like them) are generally strong.

This candle is great. The only problem is that it makes me want cookies and cupcakes every time I burn it. It will make you hungry but it makes the house smell like you have been baking all day!

We recently bought this scent a few weeks ago at a Yankee Candle retail store (on sale, of course!) and have really enjoyed the scent. My wife deserves the credit as she was the one who picked it out. You can smell the strong and harmonious blend of vanilla and lime as you go from room to room (depending on the size of the rooms and house). The smell is strong without being overpowering. A good blend of citrus and vanilla. Recommended.

This candle smells exactly like what the label says: lilac blossoms. The scent is not overwhelming and is adequate for the size of room I use it for (20x40).

I have spent a lot of money trying to find a candle that smells as advertised..YANKEE CANDLES are true to scent! The Lilac and the Fresh Cut Roses take me back to my Grandma's backyard, where the instant you open the door, all you smell are the roses and lilac's! IF you want the true smell, Yankee has it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Our family uses a lot of candles. There are very few hours during the day and evening that we do not hat at least one going. Yankee Candles are one of our favorite brands. This particular scent, French Vanilla is at the top of our list. The scent is quite mellow, strong but not overwhelming. This particular scent is also very soothing and works well for jangled nerves. As we use them so often, we find that this larger container is more cost effective. We do keep the wicks on our candles trimmed and we have very little problem with soot build up and the candle burns even with very little tunneling. The container is attractive and it does come in a wide assortment of colors. I will say though that the price listed here is about 10 percent more that we pay at three of our local outlets. If you factor in the cost of shipping on these things, that is a big, big difference. If you live in a location that has outlets, you might do better buying the locally...local purchasing is always better anyway if at all possible. The estimated burning time given here; 100 to 150 hours is about right. It should be remembered that candles do not do well on several levels if placed in a draft. It should also be noted that candles, by nature are an open flame item and great care should be taken on placement, especially if there are small children or animals around. We are very satisfied with this product in everyway and will continue to purchase them until something better comes along. Don Blankenship The Ozarks

I ordered this as a Xmas gift for a family member. It never arrived! How disappointing

This is not a critique of the candle. The candle itself is great! 5 Stars for the candle! I bought this item as a Christmas gift, and when I purchased it, I received no confirmation or shipping information from Bealls. After about 4 days, I called Bealls to ask if it had shipped and to get my tracking number, and I got a very rude customer service rep on the phone. I was asking simple questions, and she acted like I was asking the world from her. She seemed as if I was wasting her time, and she had better things to do. Customer service should be top notch for all companies, especially in times like these, and because of Bealls extremely poor customer service department, I will never buy anything from them again. Buy this product from another distributor.

I bought this candle for my aunt to commemorate the day she went cotton picking with her grandfather when she was younger. The candle is white and smells like fresh clean sheets without the detergent flavor mixed in. I think it is a nice, mild fragrance.

This candle really does smell like fresh-cut roses. Within minutes of lighting it filled my house with the scent of roses. This candle offers up a very true scent- it's not a perfumey rose, but a fresh rose, like you'd smell in the garden. Highly recommended.

For the exact same price on amazon you can get a 22 oz yankee candle. I did not know there were separate sizes so went with the cheaper product (by 0.50 cents) only to get half the candle hence half the burn time. Look for the 22 oz candles! I love my candle but do not love the small size.

I would ordet this product again. It smells great and shipping was prompt anc accurate.

I am very happy with the product and the short time it took to receive it. The jar, unforunately, broke during shipping but not a fault of the seller. The item was well packaged so I suspect poor handling by USPostal Service. In any case, seller sent compimentary matching small jar candles in same fragrance as good will gesture. I would buy from this seller again.

Yankee Candle produces a series of scented candles. I have used the French Vanilla version. This "housewarmer candle" introduces a pleasant odor into the room. The scent is not over strong and, indeed, makes a positive impression. It is not going to clean up unpleasant odors (not made for that), but it adds a sense of warmth in one's home.

These air fresheners are well worth the money. My first one lasted well over a year. Th eonly draw back is the clip is small so it might not fit in some cars. Great strong scent that lasts a long time.

First of all, I am an older person, a 64 year old happily married man. Whilst I have been aware of the Nancy Drew books all of my life I had never read any of them. We purchased the 4 DVD set of the Nancy Drew movies that were made during 1938-1939 and absolutely fell in love with them. As a result my wife bought me the first 6 books in a set. These were the yellow cover books that had been revised from the originals. Then I ran across the Applewood reprints of the original books. For someone my age it is my opinion that the Applewood books are more appropriate. The vocabulary and writing style of the late 1920's and 1930's was something with which I could identify. Reading the stories was like talking with my parents and grandparents again - wonderful. For me it was a return to the age of innocence that was long lost: Innocence lost due to time and war. The 'Sign of the Twisted Candles' is a great, fun tale full of twists and turns just as the book title suggests. I count it among my favorites, but then no matter which of the original Nancy Drew books I happen to read it too immediately becomes a favorite. The story shows Nancy at her best when confronted with a deep mystery and neither she nor you could ever be dissappointed with this 'Twisted Tale". I highly recommend that you read it - and share the book with your Grandfather. Any Nancy Drew fan will love this book and read it more than once.

The book was in excellent condition and arrived promptly. It will make a wonderful gift for my niece!

In this story Nancy and her friends, Bess and George, go to an inn to spend the night for some reason. At said inn, they meet a seemingly normal girl named Carol. Afterwards, Carol introduces them to a nice old man named Asa Sydney, who turns out to be the relative of both Bess and George somehow... After his death, Bess and George split up due to family rivalry after the discovery that Asa was quite wealthy, and Nancy is cought in the middle!!! 'o' Quote: "Oh Nancy~~ it's terrible! Asa has died!" (Carol Wimple) Main Character: Nancy Drew~~~ A bright girl sbout the age of 18 or so who loves helping people. She is fashionable and easy to get along with, as she is always making friends with side characters. Her observation skills are very high. She does not always wear the most practicle clothing for crime fighting, as evident by the sketches in the book. Setting: An old farmhouse that has been converted to an inn. The year is sometime in the 1950's, possibly... Genre: Mystery The author did a very good job using descriptive words and includes many details. The ending was happy ^_^ Someone who might like this book are children, ages 9-13, as it's easy to read and has a simple plot. Overall, I thought it was a good book, although a little juvenile for people over the age of 13. It is perfect for someone looking for VERY light reading with a good plot that keeps your attention.

Bought this for my daughter who is entering third grade. Personally I am thrilled she is reading books I read. She is borrowing from the library but she received the first few from an aunt and we have purchased what she can't find to borrow. Well written with an appropriate sense of humor for her age level. As a teacher I'd say they are probably appropriate for grades 3 through 6 or 7th grade dependent on their reading level.

Applewood Books has turned back the hands of time and given back Nancy Drew to readers. Faithfully restored to its original form, word for word, this is the real Nancy. These beautifully reproduced hardback editions are not condensed, rewritten or updated. This is the Nancy Drew of the 1930's, her blonde bob and 30's style dress shown on the facimile of the original dust jacket, conjuring up images and phrases from the enchanted America of yesteryear. While it is still a book designed for youthful readers, there is a bit more depth here in the originals, and not a small dose of nostalgia when read today. You can almost see the Coke sign outside the River Heights Theatre showing the latest Nancy Carroll picture, as Nancy goes whizzing past in hot pursuit of a clue. "The Sign of the Twisted Candles" remains one of the best in the series conceived by Edward Stratemeyer, creator of The Hardy Boys. A ghostwriter from Iowa named Mildred Wirt fleshed out his story outlines and "Carolyn Keene" was born. When he died in 1930, his daughter Harriet continued to oversee his company and in 1933 "The Sign of the Twisted Candles," the ninth book in the popular series, was published. A warm and affectionate introduction by mystery writer Carolyn G. Hart is the only addition or deviation from how it first appeared in this lovely edition. Nancy and her pals George and Bess are caught in a rainstorm and seek shelter at The Sign of the Twisted Candles. Nancy befriends a young orphan named Sadie and finds danger and mystery lurking at the Twisted Candles, of course. The plot revolves around Asa Sydney and his will, and a family fued which will cause George and Bess to desert Nancy for a time until a lesson about loyalty is learned. Nancy's father, famous lawyer Carson Drew, gets involved on behalf of his daughter, and Hannah Gruen, the Drew's houskeeper and mother-figure to Nancy, is present here as well. Buried secrets and an attempt to run Nancy off the road offer plenty of action unmarred by today's brand of violence for readers. An exciting and heartfelt conclusion punctuates a wholesome mystery which provides a role model even today. These beautiful Applewood editions stand head and shoulders above the others as they help young readers discover Nancy in a romantically nostalgic past. It is a past more innocent to be sure, filled with ice cream parlors and roadsters, five cent Saturday mornings at the movies watching our favorite serial adventure and, of course, Nancy Drew. Young readers will discover a new friend to rush home to after class and the joy of losing yourself in a book with this edition. Older readers who either read them in their own youth or bought them for their children all the time will heave a wistful sigh for a time long gone in America's past.
