However, some customers may wander into the store or aisle of their favorite shop without knowledge that could maximize their wax-induced experience. The Sniff Test The former Yankee Candle worker who let customers in on her secret method for picking a scent insists it's all about where you sniff. "To get the best possible idea of what a jar candle smells like, sniff the inside of the lid, not the candle wax itself," @NebelEllustre said in a tweet. The wax of the candle tends to carry its own aroma. The lid apparently gives a better picture of what the candle will smell like when it burns inside your home. Sign of the Times Even candle-savvy shoppers may not know that different candles boast varying burn times. TikToker and Yankee Candle employee @yankeecandleconnoisseur explained in a video that candles with a single wick made from paraffin wax have a burn time of approximately 110-115 hours. Double-wick candles with a soy wax base burn about 60-90 hours, the worker said. Also, the bottom of the candle can tell you the estimated burn time, according to Best Life. Extend Your Candle's Life If you trim your wick too low, don't fret. "All you have to do is burn around the wick and you'd have a perfectly good candle," said TikToker and candle lover @CoolandClassy in a video. Don't burn yourself doing this, but it's worth giving a go to make your candle last longer. Return of the Candles Yankee Candle accepts returns wi){kind=link}
