Yankee Candle's Juicy Watermelon Wax Tart is Great With These Burning Tips

I have always had a liking towards wax tart burners, and wax tarts or oil scents to burn in the burners. (Say that 3 times fast!)

Yankee Candle Company has always been one of my all time favorite spots to pick up burning oils and tarts. They have the largest collection and selection of different types of scent. Not only that the scents are fantastic, they are strong, and they last a really long time.

A few months ago while browsing through the Yankee Candle outlet store in our local Tanger Outlet mall, I came across a sale on their wax tarts. Usually each wax burning tart comes to about $2.00, but with a buy one get one sale going on, I had to pick up a few of the sweet Reese's peanut butter cup shaped wax tarts.

I was in a spring mode that day for some reason, and I went with a bunch of fruity scented tarts...one in particular I am about to discuss is their Juicy Watermelon Wax Tart.

The tart itself is sealed with plastic and has a round sticker on top of it. The sticker shows a photo of fresh cut summer time watermelon. I sniffed the tart through the seal and liked it. I have burned the candle before, and knew the tart would smell just like it.

The scent:

It seriously smells like actual watermelon, only a wee bit sweeter. It's very realistic though, and does not smell like that sugary bubble gum crap that most watermelon scented products smell like. It is realistic, which makes it sort of subtle.

My Use:

I had never burned Juicy Watermelon as a tart before, and I hoped it smelled nice. I have burned Yankee tarts before that were sort of weak compared to their big sister candle jars. Seeing how Juicy Watermelon is sort of a weak candle, I was hoping the tart was not weaker.

I got home, cut off the seal and placed the sweet watermelon. I then cut the tart in half. I find that cutting tarts in half and saving the rest allow for the scent to last longer. I have burned tarts before, and if you do not use the entire tart in one sitting when you go to relight it and warm it up, the scent lacks, and at times smells bad.
