Review of Bath and Body Works Strawberry Sorbet Candle 2014

Strawberry Sorbet: A cool, new treat to delight your senses, sorbet made from the sweetest, sun-ripened strawberries, spun sugar and a touch of vanilla.

1st and 2nd Burn: Both days it was the same. Barely any scent, took about 1 hour or more for the wax to evenly pool, and the flames were really low and drowning.


3rd Burn: After an hour I could start to smell a lightly sweet and creamy type of scent but it was barely there. The flames were really low so after like 2 hours of burning,  I used some cotton balls to absorb some of the wax out and that helped to increase the flame size. Then the scent did get a tiny bit stronger, but it still was light and you could only smell it around the candle; it did  not linger anywhere else

Review of Bath and Body Works Watermelon Lemonade Candle 2014

Watermelon Lemonade: Quench your thirst for long, summer days with this refreshing mixture of watermelon ice, sparkling water and freshly squeezed Meyer lemons.

1st Burn: I could start to smell it very quickly  after lighting it. I lit it in my bedroom on the first day and
it filled my whole room up with that sweet watermelon bubblegum and that zesty lemonade scent
After 3 hours the scent filled up my whole second floor as well.

2nd Burn: It had a good scent throw and it kicked in very quickly. It got stronger as it burned, and the flames were high throughout the whole burn.

3rd Burn:  I could start to smell it after 40 minutes, and just like the first 2 days it had that sweet, juicy watermelon flavoured gum scent with that bit of citrus. The wax was evenly pooled  around less than an hour and the flames were great.

I have stronger scented candles, but this one is not bad at all. Would definitely recommend it.

Review of Bath and Body Works Raspberry Peach Macaron Candle 2014

Raspberry Peach Macaron: The ultimate French cookie is celebrated in a unique blend of ripe raspberries, juicy peach and almond cream.

The first 2 days of burning this candle was awesome, but by the 3rd day that all changed.

1st Burn:  Flames were super high soon as I lit it and I could smell the scent almost right away.
It smelt really creamy like Campino Peaches and cream flavored candy. It took less than an hour for  the wax to evenly pool and the scent was exactly the same while burning as it was on cold throw. It even lingered after I blew it out..

2nd Burn: Flames were really high again as soon as I lit it, so high that they were smoking up pretty bad for awhile. The wax evenly pooled after 30 minutes and it didnt take long for me to smell the scent either. It was really strong and had an amazing scent throw that whole day.

3rd Burn: I started to smell it after 20 minutes and the wax was evenly pooled after 45 minutes
The scent throw just kept getting stronger and stronger as it burned. BUT after burning for 3 hours on the  it started to smoke up my house and kind of smell like there was a cake burning in the oven. When you smelled it up close it smelled more like cigarette smoke. It just got so gross. After I blew out and it cooled down the wicks bent over like a cane and got stuck in the wax.(picture below)

Review of Bath and Body Works Cinnamon Sugared Doughnut Candle 2014

Cinnamon Sugared Doughnut: Share the delight of a freshly-baked vanilla cake doughnut covered in sugar crystals and crushed cinnamon.

1st Burn:  Scent pooled after 1 hour, the flames at that point were really and the wicks had formed nice, big mushroom tops. I could smell some sweet and sugary cake scent after an hour, it was kind of faint though..
Then after 2 hours it got much stronger, it didn't fill my whole house but it did fill my whole living room.

2nd Burn: After1 hour I started to lightly smell the candle but the wax still wasn't evenly pooled.
That day it took 1 hour and about 20 minutes to evenly pool, but the scent was still weak at this point
The flames were really high  though and the wicks had once again formed mushroom tops.
Then after 2 hours of being lit,  the scent grew much stronger. Just like the fist burn the scent didn't fill my whole house but it did fill all of my living room with its sweet cakey scent. Then by the 3rd hour it actually got much more intense and sweet, it even lingered after I blew it out.

3rd Burn:  I could lightly start to smell the scent after 30 minutes of being lit and at that point the wax hadn't evenly pooled yet, but the flames were super high. The mushroom tops werent that big on the wicks today compared to the first 2 days. After 45 minutes of being lit, the scent really grew, and then the wax evenly pooled 10 minutes later following it. So it took about 55 minutes for it evenly pool after being lit. Then after 1 hour and a half of being lit, the scent throw was in full force, really strong and sweet. It filled up my whole Living room, but it didn't linger out side of it.
