Description
The Yankee Candle Balsam & Cedar Large Jar is one of the brand’s best-known holiday scents, poured into a classic 22 oz glass jar. It blends pine balsam and cedarwood with warm amber, so a living room or home office smells like a walk through a winter forest.
What Makes the Yankee Candle Balsam & Cedar Large Jar a Holiday Classic
Yankee Candle lists top notes of crisp citrus, herbs and red berry, a heart of pine balsam, cedar and sandalwood, and a base of vanilla, warm amber and musk. The large jar is rated for up to 150 hours of burn time, uses a premium plant wax blend and a natural-fiber wick, and is poured in the USA with no added parabens, phthalates, formaldehydes or sulfates, according to the brand.
Because it is a consumable with a familiar name, it makes a safe gift for coworkers, hosts, neighbors and family members whose tastes you are not sure about.
Who It’s For
People who like woody, outdoorsy scents rather than sweet ones, remote workers who want a cozy desk-side candle during long winter days, and anyone hunting for an easy host or Secret Santa gift.
Pros
- Classic pine and cedar scent that suits the whole holiday season
- Large 22 oz jar with up to 150 hours of burn time
- Plant wax blend and natural-fiber wick
- Recognizable brand that works as a no-fuss gift
Cons
- Heavy glass jar, so it is not ideal for packing in luggage
- Strong woody scent may be too much for small rooms
- Needs trimmed wicks and full melt pools for an even burn
Buying Tip
Trim the wick to about 1/8 inch before each burn and let the first burn melt the wax all the way to the edge to avoid tunneling. If you are buying for several people, look at multi-pack options to bring the price per candle down.
