Talk That Candle Talk

 Huntington Home “I'm Yours” Candle Review                                                                                 Aldi                                                                             Sale $2.99 There were no scent notes listed but I could detect amber and or tonka bean, cinnamon, and some sort of red berry, maybe a raspberry or boysenberry. I liked this candle though and would think about buying it again if it was released again. I’m not sure why the label started to peel but that wouldn’t stop me from continuing to try these. I really think these are a great value with lo...

  Sale Price: $2.00 at Walmart This was very light. If you buy Febreze light, this is the wax melt for you. A great scent but the cheesecake scent takes over the berries. A very subtle, lightly sweet scent. 3.5 out of 5 candlelights 

  $2.00 at Target I loved this scent! Strong throw throughout my living room that I really enjoyed. It smells just like fresh cotton candy. It is very sweet, but not buttercream frosting sweet. I would rebuy this one.  4.5 out of 5 candlelights

 An entry to more "boy smells" If you want to dip your toe into " man smells/man scents/boyfriend candle vibes" may I recommend this cheaper option? Heavy on the amber, vanilla bean, and mahogany notes. It's not quite fully "masculine" but heavier notes than I typically go for. I prefer WoodWicks humidor but I wouldn't be mad if someone picked this up again. A good unisex or gender-neutral option. Or if you just think these notes might be something you're into.  3.5 out of 5 candelights

 A must have  One of my favorite melts I bought in 2022. Every note was well-represented and diverse. It is so warm and sweet. It almost smells like real pear and vanilla baking somewhere. I would buy this all year round. Pear scents are woefully under used in the home fragrance world.  4.5 out of 5 candlelights 

    $2.99 (on sale ) Bath and Body Works Here I am discussing a scent that is only around for the holidays. This should be available all year round. It's like a snickerdoodle from a nicer bakery. All of their plug-ins last about a month if not longer. I have really enjoyed this scent. It's a classic scent that makes any home feel cozy and relaxed. A medium throw which is OK for my small apartment bathroom. I would put this in a guest room or kids room. 4 out of 5 candlelights 

  WoodWick Pumpkin Butter Melts Review  $2.99 @ Ross Another promising "starter" melt for someone just getting into wax melts. It is a pleasing smell but not a pungent smell. The throw never increased past a medium-level throw. I love an aggressive scent but worth a try, especially for the price. 3 out of 5 candlelights.
