Great scent for a mid-20s man

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019

I'm a single 25 year old male who lives alone. Normally I opt for plug-in or "set and forget" air fresheners, but the ambiance of a candle goes a long way when you have company. A friend of mine purchased this candle a few months back and I had no clue they made candles with such a masculine scent -- couple that with the affordability/convenience of Amazon and I had to jump on it. Just buy it, bro. Trust me.

This has been my favorite candle for many many years

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2018

This has been my favorite candle for many many years... Unfortunately... I would say that Yankee Candle has gone cheap... as the smell is not as strong as it used to be, nor does the smell last as long... After one use, there was little to no smell in one room. I remember being able to burn the candle in one room and the sent was perfect and nice throughout the house. Very disappointing. I like Kringle Candle much better. Yankee Candle's quality diminished after the company was sold. Kringle Candle is the same family that started Yankee Candle and has a better ethos.

Nice fragrance but now with reduced scent throw

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2019

Scent: MidSummer's NightSize: Classic Large JarVerified Purchase

This candle (Midsummer Night) used to be one of the strongest scented (if not THE strongest) made by Yankee Candle. As I have written in many reviews on Amazon, and YC too, Yankee Candles have practically lost their scent. Almost 20 years ago, I saw these candles in a gift shop, and bought my first one (Ocean Water), and I was hooked. I actually became a crazy candle lady. Well over time, YCs became less and less scented (and no, it's not my nose, I've ruled that out). So I stopped buying them, though I went kicking and screaming. I now buy other brands that have stronger scents, but I miss the nice burn quality of YCs.

Anyway, I bought this candle on impulse, thinking it just MIGHT still have some scent throw, since it used to be such a strong scent. I burned it for the first time yesterday evening, for the recommended four hours for the large-jar style, and only got hints of the scent. It is the same one from days of yore but is greatly reduced in strength. I'm going to burn it again later today and decide if I can smell it enough to keep it. I hope I can decide to. And it really does have that good, consistent burn--no tunneling, soot, or anything like that.

But what's up with the loss of scent, Yankee Candle? (I called the company one time, and they just blew me off).

Update: I'm keeping this candle. I really enjoy it and its nice, consistent burn. I can smell it, but the scent is indeed greatly reduced compared to in the past. This is still probably one of the stronger scents offered by Yankee Candle, though most of them, these days, have practically any detectable fragrance.

Midsummer Night Jar Candle

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016

Scent: MidSummer's NightSize: Classic Large JarVerified Purchase

Classic, masculine and haunting. This is my all time favorite Yankee Candle scent. Tip: If you keep the wick trimmed, burn it for about 3-hours at a time, and snuff it with the lid instead of blowing it out, you will find that it burns more evenly.

What's going on with Yankee Candles?

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2020

Scent: MidSummer's NightSize: Classic Large JarVerified Purchase

For decades I purchased this candle above all others, then about 7 years ago I discovered the scent had less and less, or very little throw of scent, if any scent at all..I've burned several large candles in a small room at once and hours later, nothing but a smoking candle. (Yes, I cut wicks to size) .I heard the original owner sold the company, so after looking it up...I'll purchase from the owners sons shop of WONDERFUL candles, and not waste money anymore on Yankee candles. I'm very disappointed in what a Corporation buying this once great candle has done.The current owners should TALK to whoever is making your candles now, and tell them to put scent back in them, or they'll keep declining at this rate and so will your business.People do catch on eventually if you cut costs.

My favorite candle going on 11 years

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019

Scent: MidSummer's NightSize: Classic Small TumblerVerified Purchase

First I wanna start by saying this is the best candle I've ever smelt in my life so far. I used to steal my mom's midsummer night candle when I was younger and I've just recently gotten into using candles every day. It helps with my depression, anxiety, ADHD, and ocd. They're just something simple that helps wake me up in the morning and calm my mind at night. I purchased this online because shopping with my 1 yr old gives me panic attacks when I don't have my fiance or mom with me. I was very happy to receive my shipment next day for no charge and it came in tact. It's a GORGEOUS yet simple addition for my collection. I was disappointed in the amount of cardboard that was used in the package. There were 3 boxes. And I can't recycle where I live so I try to not bring non reusable boxes into the house. Still 5 stars because despite my disappointment in the amount of cardboard used, it's still absolutely perfect. I wish I would have gone to the store instead because of that, but amazon has made my life long battle with panic attacks SO MUCH easier and less stressful. 100/10.

Weak Scent

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019

Scent: MidSummer's NightSize: Classic Large JarVerified Purchase

I purchased this Candle after a friend a work had a very small version of this Candle, I had a great scent and would fill his office with no problem. Well that was a few years back. I received my full size Midsummer's Night Candle and found the scent to be very weak. Both the Candles had the same weak scent, my buds tiny version from years ago blew this one away in strength. I can only guess that YC has been skimping on The Old Family Recipe. Maybe cost savings, who knows. I know that I will think twice before purchasing another one. Its a shame, shame on your YC.

*Notes Included* Good but not Great... Slight Disconnect.

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2018

Scent: Life’s A BreezeSize: Classic Large JarVerified Purchase

*Notes include*
Top Notes: Bergamot, Sea Air Accord
Mid Notes: Lavender, Oakmoss
Base Notes: Patchouli

I really wanted to love this candle. It was good but not great. I love fresh scented candles. It does have good throw and will fill a room. With all those great notes you'd think it'd be awesome but there's a slight disconnect. Maybe one note is overpowering the others? I don't know why. If you want the ultimate in a fresh "nautical" candle, try Kringle Candles Set Sail. My favorite candle of all time. Set Sail has Blue Musk, Lemon Tonic, Oak Moss, Ocean Air,Seawood, Teak. Kringle was created by the original owner/creator of Yankee Candles. Remember when all of Yankee Candles were consistent in filling a room? Well all of Kringle Candles have great throw and easily fill the living room.

Fastest evaporating Yankee Candle I have owned

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020

Scent: Mediterranean BreezeSize: Classic Large 2-Wick TumblerVerified Purchase

Smells really nice, like a pleasant ( not overpowering perfume). I like the smell. But I only recently started burning it and it is already almost halfway gone! Evaporated quickly and it was expensive. I would have like it to last longer.

You can gift this or just get one to enjoy, aromatherapy can be amazing after a bad day....

Scent: Mediterranean BreezeSize: Classic Large 2-Wick TumblerVerified Purchase

Mediterranean Breeze has an amazing mix of citrus top notes along with a Fresh Ocean scent very light undertones of Moss and Amber. This candle really smells amazing. My brain does not equate the color blue with a citrus smell, but I have found a few other citrusy "Blue" candles that have surprised me. So I tried this one and I am so happy I did. I am a buyer for life ....as long as they don't discontinue this smell!!😆
