Review of Bath and Body Works Pineapple Palm Grass Candle 2014

Pineapple Palm Grass: A fresh tropical fragrance inspired by the beautiful pineapple fields and exotic green foliage of the Hawaiian Islands

3-wick candle

This candle smells like fresh cut pineapple or fresh pineapple juice on cold throw. While burning I  also get a  toasted coconut scent mixed in, which is awesome, because it makes it more tropical.


1st day and 2nd day burns: The wax  evenly pooled in less than 50 minutes but it still had  no scent throw. I could only start to smell it after nearly 2 hours, but it was light and barely there. However, it did get stronger after the 2 hours.

3rd day: I had it burning in my bedrrom today to see if it would perform better in a smaller room. I went to check on it after 30 minutes and the scent had started to kick in, but it was still light. The wax evenly pooled after an hour. After 3 hours of burning that day, it really surprised me, it had filled up my whole bedroom and going forward it kept getting stronger.



Review of Bath and Body Works Lavender Vanilla Candle 2014

Lavender Vanilla: An unforgettable fragrance! You'll love this blend of timeless lavender and creamy vanilla, with touches of cedarwood, delicate jasmine and citrus.

3-wick candle

Really great candle! I love the scent and the wax would always evenly pools in less than an hour. 

I've burned it for three times so far. On the first two days that I burned it, it was not that strong, but that all changed by the third day. On the third day It filled up almost my whole living room after 2 hours of being lit.

I could really smell that great lavender scent paired with a hint of creaminess, which was probably the vanilla I was smelling.

Review of Bath and Body Works Espresso Bar Candle 2014

Espresso Bar: Stop and savor the aromas of roasted espresso beans and sweet vanilla froth like the Italians, who never take their coffee “to go.”

This candle is part of the Italian collection. 

I would definitely recommend purchasing this candle, especially of your a coffee lover. It has a really authentic coffee bean scent but it smells more like a mocha, because of that added vanilla note. I've burned it about 4 times so far and it's performed well each, and every time. It always had high flames and a scent throw so strong that it would linger up to my second floor. I left it sitting with no lid on my table one day, not even lit, and I could still smell it so strongly around that area.

Review of Bath and Body Works Mahogany Teakwood Candle 2013

Mahogany Teakwood: Revel in the cozy fine woods fragrances of mahogany, cedarwood and oak, highlighted by delicate lavender and geranium notes.

This candle is definitely one of my all time favorites. It smells like amazingly good cologne and the flames are always high. I don't really have anything bad to say about this candle, except that I don't like when the wax turns that yucky dark color after the candle has burnt down about three quarters.

Lastly, if you haven't tried this one yet, you need to go get one now :)



Review of Bath and Body Works Forever Red Candle 2014

Forever Red: A passionate blend of pomegranate & red osmanthus with a sexy surprise of vanilla rum

It smells exactly like the Velvet Sugar body products. It's smaller than a 3-wick, its only 7.5 oz, where as the 3 wicks are 14.5 oz. The retail price was $20 but I got it for 50% during the 2013/2014 Semi Annual Sale.



1st Burn: I burned it in my bedroom. I could start to smell it within 20 minutes. The scent filled up my whole bedroom,  the hallway and even down the stairs. It smells like peaches, flowers, sugar, marshmallow and it has the tiniest hint of musk.

2nd Burn: For this day I burned it in my livingroom and for some reason even after 2 hours I could only smell it up close. Than finally after that 2 hours I could start to smell that same scent from the first day, but it was not really that strong. Today it had a super high flame but it was not smoking up or anything, it was barely even moving, which I liked.

3rd Burn: Today I decided to burn it in my bedroom again and it was perfect, it preformed just like the first day.
