Love awesome retail associates! Had my grandson with me and needless to say he thinks candles are boring. Lol. Needed a 3-wick vanilla candle. Happily, I was greeted and expertly/efficiently/effortlessly helped. Awesome! Smoothly got us checked out, got a coupon and the loyalty program. Of course I want a free candle on my birthday! Ash was absolutely terrific and I'm now motivated to return alone when I can browse.

Yankee Candle has such a cozy ambiance and an amazing variety of scents. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the store always smells incredible the moment you walk in. Prices are fair for the quality, and there are often good deals. It can get a little crowded on weekends, but overall it's a great place to find gifts or treat yourself.

Came here to redeem my birthday gift and you get to choose from the small sizes. You can't really go wrong on choosing a scent because they have such a wide variety. I told them I got an email but wasn't sure when it expired so since they were able to look up my info cuz I was in their system, it wasn't too late. I was able to get a free candle as long as it was within 30 days of receiving the email.

Yankee Candle Company is a dangerous store for me to be in. I always end up walking out of the store with more than I intended to shop for. I have been a fan of their candles, room sprays and car air fresheners for some time now, but it is nice to have an actual brick and mortar store to sample all the fragrances and check out all their products with friendly service to boot. To say I am a fan of their products would be an understatement. I have their products in my kitchen, bedroom, living room and bathroom and in my car ;) A lot of my friends are fans of candles, so I am here often to buy gifts, too. During the holidays, they have some awesome holiday themed items for presents. The staff who work here are always so nice and helpful. I recently popped in as I saw they were having a holiday clearance sale with some items 50-75% off. The salespeople know their stuff here. If you give them an idea of what kind of scents you like and those you like to avoid, they can steer your towards fragrances that will appeal to you. I really like the idea of the salesgirl who just helped me spraying the tissue paper adorning my shopping bag with a home fragrance spray scent I was curious about so I could smell it more at home. Being on their email list helps to advise you of upcoming sales and new products. They are great with exchanges here in the store, also. I used to have to drive to Main Place to visit a Yankee Candle store. Glad this location is here as it is way more convenient to me and a pleasure to shop at.

This reviews a little late but I just couldn't not write it... I had lunch and did some shopping at Irvine Spectrum last week and randomly went into Yankee Candle Company. I usually buy candles in passing at Target, Home Goods, or store like that so this was actually my first time in a Yankee Candle Store and the sales associate Anna not only gave me a great introduction to the store and products but actually also truly informed me and impressed me about the importance of proper amount of ventilation when burning candles for a long period of time because soot will collect in the air even if you don't see it. I told her I had some in my nose... I actually never realized this. They even had a candle that had a specially designed wick for moving the soot away from the candle... or something else interesting like that. I just loved the vibe of this Candle chop in general & really thank you Anna, since you told me that I've started always opening a window whenever I leave a candle burning for an hour or so...

Yankee Candle used to me one of those stores we hit up around the holidays to bring that little extra something to the mix. We typically used to go to the location in Los Cerritos Center but it went out of business several years ago and I was never aware of any other locations in the vicinity. I recently saw several Yelp friends check in here, so when me and my wife ended up at the Spectrum we had to step in and check it out. I am happy to report that the store hasn't changed and is exactly as I remember it being. The staff is friendly (sometimes overly so), and the selection of candle scents and sizes is huge. My personal favorite scents are still the butter cream and the Root Beer, but we discovered several new scents worth checking out on our latest excursion. After trying out several scents my wife decided to purchase a small jar of the Summer Scoop scent which is quite nice. I also was a big fan of the Black Cherry so we will have to come back for that one at another time. The prices are a bit high but the quality of the candles and the uniqueness of the scents makes up for it and they do often run special 2 for 1 promotions as well as various coupons. We spent a good amount of time in the location looking at all of the various Christmas holders for the votives, tarts and tea lights but held off on purchasing any for now. The selection is great as I said and they have many variations for regular everyday themes as well so it's not just holiday oriented. $17-30 for a candle can be a bit pricey at times but they typically burn anywhere from 40-100+ hours so you do get your money worth if you just burn them a few hours a day. Yankee Candle makes the perfect gift in a pinch as well so I always keep that in mind. We will be back to take advantage of the special deals they gave us after the purchase and to pick up more scents for around the house.

How about putting your hours on your website. Candles are great but with so few stores, the hours of operation are important

I hosted my Golden Birthday at Restored Apothecary's candle making workshop with my girlfriends,…read moreand it was hands down one of the best experiences ever! From start to finish, everything was beyond perfect. Lori, the owner, is the kindest, sweetest human being you'll ever meet. She went above and beyond--helping me decorate, put up signs, and making sure every little detail felt special. She was so understanding, incredibly accommodating, and genuinely cared about making the day amazing. The workshop itself was such a vibe--cozy, creative, and so much fun. We got to choose our own scents, mix and pour candles, and just enjoy each other's company in such a beautiful space. Everyone left with their own custom candle and the best memories. If you're thinking of celebrating something special or just want a fun outing with friends--do this!Restored Apothecary is a gem, and Lori makes it truly magical. Can't recommend it enough!

Lori, the owner, has been making candles since 2012 and you can definitely see the passion in her craft and instruction. She guided us every step of the way in creating our scented candles and tasty cocktails. All ingredients are included with the cost and the class proceeds along at a relaxed and casual pace. This was such a fun experience that I highly recommend for a group of friends or for a cute date night. Restored Apothecary is located in Poppi Seed Market, a shop filled with many small businesses and local vendors. It is also part of the Woodbury Town Center.

I was pleased at how simply the candle making process was explained on their website so I decided…read moreto treat myself and participate in there Ladies' Day "Thursday 20% off" candle making special. It has a great location in Laguna, although I didn't realize they had validated parking until I had passed the parking structure and ended up paying $6.00 at the garage behind the building. So when you go, make sure to park at "The Collection at Laguna" and get validated. The store is pleasant & filled with lots of gift goodies. Items were over priced but no more than the normal Laguna establishment. You pay for a little piece of the beach with each purchase. =) The candle making experience: Creativity: Lots of fun choosing your candle shape, fragrance, color and embellishments. The process is simple and calming. My candle took about two hours to create from start (picking everything) to finish (having the owner meld the wax together.) The dry time is two hours unless you want to pay extra for faster drying so you'll need to come back. The wait won't bother you since you can spend the two hours relaxing at the beach in anticipation of your wax creation. The only downside is I couldn't finish my candle by pouring the filler wax and placing the top embellishments. I'm sure this was a safety rule but in my opinion; have me sign a waver (so I don't sue you) and allow me my God given right to get burned if I so choose to. lol Price: The cost of the candles is expensive. My candle "Moon Shine" and 17 small embellishments cost my close to $60.00. The candle promises to burn for 50hrs. However I think I'm going to need a few days before I can harness my zen teachings of letting go, giving back to the universe and burning it. When compared to how much a candle of it's size costs in another store, $60.00 seems outrageous. BUT consider the creative time you experienced and the joy of creating something from scratch and it makes it well worth the price. Think of Pure Light as a fine dining experience. It may not be for every day but it's a blast when your ready to splurge a little. OVERALL: I highly recommend Pure Light. The environment is great, the creative process is fun and it's a great alternative to the normal dinner and a movie. Happy Candle Making!!
