UPDATE 12th February 2021
Yankee Candle have reached out on Social Media stating that the 'Classic' one wick style jar will still be made available but in a limited choice of fragrances, The new 'Signature' line will be the main business focus going forward.
With a huge backlash from customers via many social media platforms it seems Yankee Candle is trying to play down the new replacement line but having already spent BILLIONS of $ on the new Signature range doesn't mean they will just stop plans because some customers are not happy, In fact today (12th February 2021) they've launched 46 of the new style tumblers on the USA website.
Remember the disaster that was the label redesign? Remember the uproar when they changed the logo design? They didn't listen to customers then either.
