Yankee Candle: Vera Cruz Vanilla By cnt24 on Oct 31, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This Yankee Candle was stashed in a gift bag with another birthday gift. I was thrilled to get this since I never tried the Yankee Candle brand before.

I love candles and usually have one burning during waking hours of the day. Candles not only enhance mood they provide aromatherapy. This jar candle may not be your romantic taper type candle, but for aromatherapy it's good.

The scent I received is Vera Cruz Vanilla. The only way to describe it is Rich. The candle itself, not burning, smells strong and good enough to eat. However, I was a little disappointed by the burning scent. It's rather subtle and you really have to be in close proximity to smell it.

I found just leaving the jar open without burning the candle works pretty well. However, what's a candle for if you don't burn it?
