This is my favorite yankee candle scent. The vanilla is a soft and clean one. It does not smell like sugar cookies, rather it smells like a pale, creamy, kind of vanilla. It's delicious, but not overl...Read more

I actually found this candle to not have a strong scent, I found it light and not really that sweet. I didn't think the vanilla in it was strong, I found it subtle and it's mixed with another scent th...Read more

I'm surprised that the reviews for this one are so hit-and-miss. I have the medium jar candle and *love* it. It has enough throw to make my whole apartment smell subtly glorious without choking me out...Read more

I originally only gave it 2/5, but I decided to burn it tonight, and when lit it's actually very nice. Smells MUCH better lit. Very sweet and pleasant.

This is a very nice smelling Yankee candle. Sometimes I do not like vanilla scented candles, because they sometimes smell like cigars. Yankee French Vanilla does NOT have this problem. It is a perf...Read more

I am a big fan of Vanilla and Vanilla scented candles. This one was far too overbearing and in turn overwhelming. I usually like to leave candles burning for hours and in many cases leave them lit w...Read more

I got this on sale at JC Penney last Christmas, and I agree with the other reviewers who said this smell isn't that strong at all. I have the big size, and when it's lit the scent doesn't waft around...Read more

This tart is strange because sometimes I love the scent and other times I can't stand it. It is subtle but after burning for 2-3 hours, the house can start smelling a bit too overwhelming. The vanilla...Read more

I really don't understand all the negative reviews of this product! This is a very sweet, but not sickly-sweet, warm vanilla scent. Yankee Candles makes wonderful Vanilla/foody scents and I adore th...Read more

I find this candle to be cloyingly sweet and thick, nearly nauseating. I don't like it at all, and needed to put it out within...less than half hour, minutes perhaps. I love vanilla, love vanilla can...Read more

I agree this wasn't very strong, but it smelled BEAUTIFUL! I just wish it was stronger, because it really was a lovely vanilla that I have yet to find anywhere else.

This one is a huge disappointment from Yankee. This tart is so lightly scented that after burning it for two hours I could barely smell it while I was sitting just a few feet from it. I wanted a cream...Read more

This has no scent at all. They should name it "unscented". I put the tart in my burner and waited forever to smell something. Nothing happened! YC need to pull this from their line. I'm serious.

This smelled good...but I could only smell it if I stuck my nose into the candle. It is so weak, I will not purchase again.
