Talk That Candle Talk

Will it come back for Black Friday? $1.00 Black Friday Price @ Walmart I got this in a Black Friday/cyber Monday haul in 2022. Its a medium throw but only lasts for a short time. It smells more like chocolate syrup with vague vanilla notes. If you love chocolate you might enjoy it. It's not a must but if its a dollar again, why not? 3.5 out of 5 candlelights  

  Another scent I think would be nice all year round. The boyfriend thought I was making pancakes when he walked in. It is a typical sweet scent with more maple/brown sugar/ vanilla notes. I would repurchase it if it comes back. I would appreciate this in a larger candle format as well.  4 out of 5 candlelights 

  Kitchen Spice Candle price unknown, received as a gift Yankee Candle Underrated candle! It's the perfect blend of sweet and savory fall scent notes. It's almost gingerbread-like but not as sweet. Every fall candle fanatic should try this, especially if you can find it on sale. No issues with the wick or the burn. 4.7 out of 5 

  Price Unknown Bath and Body Works  Very cozy sweet cinnamon/ vague gingerbread scent. I'm not sure what notes cozy blanket is supposed to be but I would try more scents if they brought it back. I had this in my bedroom and it stayed pretty strong throughout its lifetime 4 out of 5 candlelights

  Warm Cottage limited edition 2022 $1.00 Black Friday Sale One of the better selections from the sale! This doesn't fall super sweet or super masculine. It's a lovely neutral seasonal scent. I noticed some wood notes with amber and vanilla. It was a nice break from the typical fall and winter candy type of scent. 3.5 out of 5 candle lights 

  The Baker and Smith Co Spiced Apple Cinnamon Candle (w/ Wood Wick) $~6 at Dollar General The wood wick was my favorite part of this candle. The smell is fine, but nothing revolutionary. This is the candle you buy if you are either obsessed with apple candles or don't know what to buy for someone. The throw is about medium strength.  3 out of 5 candlelights

 A cheaper alternative  If you love WoodWick but side-eye the price, this could be a good range. The crackling sound is softer but in a smaller room is a close enough dupe. The fragrance is a medium throw. It smells like figs, apples and maybe vanilla? Not a sugary sweet scent but sweet enough. I would try other scents from this line.  3 out of 5 candlelights 

 Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Pecan Waffles Review bought on $3.00 sale A fan favorite for a reason. It smells just like you would imagine. Every scent note is equally represented. You get over a month of constant scent until the last drops. This is a scent to look forward to. 4.8 out of 5

  Apple Machaito $2.99 sale Bath and Body Works This may be controversial, but this scent is way better than that candy apple scent. Apple macchiato needs to be a permanent scent for all seasons. People eat apples all year round. I loved having this in my bedroom last season. It projects a strong scent throughout the month. Absolutely worth a repurchase and good for gifts.  4.6 out of 5 candlelights

  Yankee Candle Merry Berry Candle Holiday Collection 2022 price unknown received as a gift. The shape of this candle is very obnoxious. Larger Candles need more than one wick in my opinion. I also think jars with less shape and design project a much larger scent than this. However, the scent was decent. Typical vague berry for the winter. I want to give the scent another chance in a different jar. 2.5 out of 5 candlelights

                                                          Price Unknown received as a gift I really like the idea of this candle, but it wasn't strong enough for me. I do think the single-wick versions project a lot less scent. I need a candle of this quality to fill the room. I am open to trying this in the melts or maybe as a plug-in. 3.5 out of 5 candle lights 

 Limited Edition 2022  $1 black friday 2022 sale Its like cider with other fruits. I feel like it's a neutral enough smell you can use it all year round. This was very average for me. I liked it enough, I finished it. I am glad I only paid a dollar. Medium strength scent throughout burning.  3.5 out of 5 candlelights

  HH Mandarin Lemon Candle Review Price Unknown ALDI Such a refreshing and pleasing combo. More mandarin scent but it was a nice change of pace for me. I would like to see more citrus candles. It's a safer scent to gift and it just always brightens the energy of a room. I wish it was stronger but I would possibly buy it again.  3.5 out of 5 candlelights

 Aldi Candle Review  Almost a strong throw. I would love a more intense version of this. I don't think this should be limited to one season over the other. Citrus scents are an all-year-round scent for me. More apricot notes than orange. A sweet but not sick to your stomach sweet scent. It filled my living room and entrance way. 3.5 out of 5 candlelights  

 Honeysuckle Pineapple  This should be called honeysuckle sunlight because pineapple can not be smelt at all. I enjoyed this though, it unlocked a core childhood memory. Very fresh scent notes, a medium throw. An easy pick for springtime vibes. Nothing tropical at all. 3 out of 5 candlelights 

 Jelly Bean Wax Melts $2.99 Hobby Lobby                                                    I was gifted this wax (and a few others) over the holiday season. The scent was much more pleasant before putting it in the warmer. The smell is way too strong and artificial. It is hard to notice the different scent notes. It's vaguely fruit-like. My boyfriend turned it off after a half hour. The most overwhelming melt. It gives unknown vague fruity detergent. Not a fan but there is a market for this level of intensity but it's too much for my household.                                                                       2.5 stars out of 5

  $1.10 @ Walmart If you like lemon, you'll like this. Not as much sugar as you might expect. For the price, this is a pleasant scent and a little cheaper than the Scentsationals version. Mainstay melts are small so if you really like the smell, the candle could be a better choice. 3.5 out of 5 candlelights 

 Not as sweet as you may think Price: $2 at Walmart The lemon balances the icing scent very well. It's just the right amount of sugar with fresh lemon. I absolutely love citrus scents for the home. One of my favorite citrus scents to date. All-year-round wax melt. Strong throw that fades to medium. This is a safe pick for a gift as well.  4 out of 5 candlelights 

 Huntington Home Coconut Cream Macaron Candle Review Price unknown ALDI This fragrance was weaker than I was hoping for. I wanted more pungent coconut notes with some cream. Half and half would be a better name for this. The packaging is more cute than functional. Maybe I got a bad batch, however, this candle did not burn well. The wicks were very weak. Don't pay full price for this 2 out of 5 candlelights 

 Mainstays Fresh Baked Cookies Review Price Unknown (gifted by boyfriend) Walmart Very disappointed. The scent is way beyond light. A can air freshener gives more scent than this. The slightest whisper of chocolate chip. I'll stick to the wax melts or look for affordable candles at Aldi. 1 out of 5 candlelights
