Yankee CandleLilac Blossoms Scented, Classic 22oz Large Jar Single Wick Candle, Over 110 Hours of Burn Time, Perfect for Gifting, Gatherings and Seasonal Decorations

I happen to love the scent of lilacs. The flowers and their scent (along with lillies of the valley) are the epitome of springtime and the month of May for me, as my Mother's birthday was in May and rarely did a year go by without this one relative bringing her a big bouquet of freshly cut lilacs she had cut from the lilac bushes growing on her property. My sister and I would pick lillies of the valley, since they bloomed at the same time, but safely at ground level so it was something we could manage.This Yankee Candle Company's lilac candle smells so similar to a lilac bloom it really is quite amazing for me to realize it is actually a candle emitting the scent I smell now when using it and not an actual lilac flower in a bouquet sitting on a table someplace back in time in mid May. I love it. The lilac scent from this candle is really quite strong in its intensity, as lilacs are known to be. Since this candle came in a large styled mason jar with removable lid, I can just remove the lid and not even burn the candle to get a whiff of the scent. Actually burning the candle gives you even a stronger scent. The pastel purple coloring of the wax used is pretty to see, and perfect for a lilac scented candle.I happen to like the larger sized candles in the mason jar made by Yankee Candle Company more than their smaller sized candles. While heavier and larger than their other candles, the lid fits tightly on its top when not burning the candle, helping to preserve the scent of the candle for a longer period of time, as well as keeping the candle free from dust etc, if you want to store the candle away for a time. The mason jars look good sitting out on a counter or table. Candles made in them are harder to light however after they have burned down lower in the jar, as you either need a long match, a piece of spaghetti, or else a lighter that can reach the wick when you want to burn the candle.I am not sure if the wax is of soy or from petroleum, as soy is considered cleaner overall for the environment when you burn a candle, that according to those who should actually know will say, but this candle burns well and is one of my favorite scented candles I have tried, and so I will purchase this again in the future, rather than trying another. Personally, I prefer the scented candle better than the actual lilac bush which I had planted in the yard at one time, as the candle is easier to maintain and smells just as good as the real bush.This candle was a win-win for me on all accounts and I highly recommend it if you love the scent of lilacs and wish you could smell their blooms year round.

I love the smell of fresh cut roses but I can’t smell much of it. What is good about this scent of lilac is it has a noticeable smell from across the room. It still has a flower smell but you can actually smell it.The wax is weird because it’s mostly a lavender color but little white beads of what I’m assuming is also wax stick up out of the lavender wax. It doesn’t hurt anything but it’s just peculiar and takes some of the beauty away.It melts fast and there’s a black smoke residue that covers the top part of the glass. I feel like they don’t last that long but that’s probably because I burn the candle whenever I’m home.I think it’s a good value for the price but I hope they don’t raise the price to $30 like the rose candle whenever they find out the lilac candle is just as good or better.

I got the lilac blossoms scent, its very strong and very floral smelling as opposed to something more artificial or a mix of different stuff. It smells exactly like a lilac flower bush. Only burning for a couple minutes fills the whole room, that's how strong this scent is.

I bought 3 lilac blossom candles when they went on sale. Its one of my favorite scents and is true to smell.

Wonderful scent although not as strong as I had hoped. Still does the job of burning and cooking a room. No issues with receiving used or melted product

My absolute favorite yankee candle! The lilac scent is beautiful and genuine. It smells like a bouquet of fresh lilacs, which in my ever so humble opinion, is the best smelling flower out there.

YANKEE CANDLE LILAC BLOSSOM SCENTED, CLASSIC 22 OZ LARGE JAR SINGLE WICK CANDLE. OVER 110 HOURS.This was used with our adjustable arm candle warmer last night and it smelled very much like our large Lilac bush that blooms every late Spring. I don't keep a tally on how many hours and it is new which gave a lovely scent. I paid for the Yankee candles and I loved the Lilac scent that reminded me of my huge Lilac bush that I had a touch of Spring during this freezing weather. It's a nice large jar that even though the price changed six dollars more it's a huge bargain. The scent is as described and not over powering,but more low key. It's noticeable in a good way, but we didn't turn the candle warmer to the highest or I should say we kept it around the middle brightness for a subtler not cloying for six hours.

Being from CT, I remember the days when Yankee candles lived up to their reputation. Unfortunately, MOST of their candles are a disappointment from tunneling to not scent.I purchased 2 of these, almost finished with the 2nd so ordered 2 more. The smell of lilacs is intoxicating with this candle, no tunneling. It's not overly strong but it does fill my bedroom with a light fragrant fresh cut lilac scent you'd get from BBW or else where.If the price remains the same, I can see myself purchasing 4 or 6 more of these as I haven't gotten bored of the scent in the past week.
