Or maybe they had a bad batch or ran out of a particular ingredient and everyone eventually got those batches they thought they could pass off πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I think it’s so funny to imagine the boardroom Yankee Candle version of Mr Burns deciding to offload a bunch of crummy product during a covid surge. Ingenious

Or maybe Yankee candles have a baseline error rate in their manufacturing, insufficient QA, and are more commonly purchased over the holidays. The charts show absolute number of reviews and only during the post-covid period. To be semi-meaningful it should show the "no smell" reviews as a percentage of all reviews and include pre-covid years as a comparison.
