Review of Bath and Body Works Lemon Cucumber Candle 2014

Lemon Cucumber: Clean, crisp cucumber and zesty lemon create a refreshing fragrance perfect for spring.

This candle is from the "Fresh Picked" Spring 2014 collection

1st day burn: After about 2 hours of burning,  I was really sad that the scent throw was not the greatest while burning, compared that amazingly strong scent it had on cold throw. So I just blew it out after a couple of hours.

2nd day: It took about 1 hour for the wax to form an even pool. The flames were medium, but  the scent was mush stronger, and it even lingered upstairs. I could smell the cucumber and lemon but the lemon was kind of a dishwashing soap lemon.

3rd day: Flames were nice and high from the beginning. After 45 minutes I could start to smell some cucumber in my livingroom, and then again the wax took almost 1 hour to evenly pool, but once it did, the scent started to get stronger and stronger. Then I could start to smell more of a mix of citrusy lemon, and it was a little soapy smelling again but it was ok it gave off a really clean scent. I could also smell a really just fresh, crisp ,watery and really authentic cucumber smell.

4th day: It took just 35 minutes for the wax to evenly pool. The scent lightly started to in kick in right away, and the flames were super when I first lit it. The more it burned the stronger the scent got.

Overall, its just a really great performing candle, and I love the smell, but I guess its going to mostly depend on your personal scent preference. Im more into Fresh and clean scents than sweet ones.
I think after all the super sweet and spice candles that came out in fall and winter, I'm just so ready for Spring!!

Bath and Body Works "It Happened One Night" celebrations candle collection for winter 2013

Below are pictures of all the candles I got from Bath and Body Works "It Happened One Night" celebrations collection. They were released in winter 2013. The only candle I didn't get from this collection was "Hot Buttered Rum".

Review of Bath and Body Works Cinnamon Tea Candle

Cinnamon Tea: Holiday Tip: Blend cinnamon bark, perfectly spiced apple and fragrant cranberry tea leave for a winter celebration!

This candle is from the Winter 2013 "Fresh Picked Winter Market" collection.

It's compared to  "London Calling - Tea and Lemon". In my opinion, they both have that nice genuine tea scent to them, but Cinnamon tea has it much stronger. Also, London Calling is more of a citrusy tea while this one is more of a cinnamon tea exactly like its name says,but it also has a hint of a apple or berry scent too.

1st day burn: Flames were high as soon as I lit it. The scent of tea and cinnamon kicked in after just half an hour, and the wax was evenly pooled after 1 hour. The scent still lingered for close to 2 hours after I blew it out.

2nd day: The scent kicked in after 1/2 an hour, and again the flames were really high from the beginning. The wax was evenly pooled out after 45 minutes, and the scent became much stronger. The scent lingered again for a quite while after I blew it out.

3rd day: I started to smell it after 20 minutes. The flames were really high, and the wax evenly pooled out after about 35 minutes. The scent was sooooo strong on this day that it made my nose tingle. Loved it.!

I hope they bring this candle back again, I would definitely repurchase it. Overall it smelled really nice and strong, and it had a perfect burn.

Review of Bath and Body Works Oakmoss & Vetiver Candle 2013

Oakmoss & Vetiver: Infuse your home with a luxurious blend of oakmoss, vetiver and lavender.

This is one of the most freshest smelling and one of my most favorite candles ever!

It smells kind of like shaving cream, but in a very nice, and clean way. The scent is crazy strong and fills up your whole house. The flames were super high and the candle burned down flawlessly. No problems whatsoever with it. I hope it makes a comeback next year, but for now Im stocking up :)

Review of Bath and Body Works Pink Bubblegum Candle 2014

Pink Bubblegum: A fragrance you can really sink your teeth into with notes of pink sugar cane, juicy watermelon and a hint of vanilla.

This candle is part of the "Sweet shop" 2014 Spring collection.

1st burn: medium flames, small mushroom tops, flames were not high but not low either
The wax was evenly pooled out after about after 50 minutes.
The scent kicked in after almost an 1 hour/1/2, and you could smell the bubblegum but it was very, very light.

2nd day burn: The scent throw kicked in after 40 minutes but was very light. It  took about 3 hours to get an even pool of wax, and there was still barely any scent. You could kind of smell it but it was mostly a cakey/vanilla scent.

3rd day burn: I let it burn for over 4 hours. It had the light bubblegum/vanilla scent, but it was much stronger than the first couple of days. The flames wee nice and high and I had no problem with the performance that day.

4th day burn : I let it burn for just over 2 hours. I lit in my living room and just kind of left alone. I came back and checked on it after an hour or so and the flames were high, and the wax was evenly melted. I could smell the bubblegum scent strongly, but it was only lingering around where the candle was lit, it didn't fill up my whole living room.

Over all it performed really well, it just doesn't have the strongest scent.
