I find so many coffee scented candles comes off as a chocolate or Tootsie Roll scent to me. And even when I think it may not be, my husband will walk into the room and say, why does it smell like tootsie rolls in here? Am I the only one experiencing this?
I agree and I’m not a fan of chocolate candles. One that I do love that’s a great coffee scent is Swan Creek Roasted Expresso. In the melts and the candle.
The “tootsie roll” smell comes from when the coffee is toned down and the bakery notes are in the forefront. Espresso is a great coffee oil that when mixed with other things it doesn’t get lost.
I think BBW is having a $12.95 candle sale this weekend. I’m a bit bummed out that I haven’t seen the candle Autumn yet this year. The new Kringle Halloween labels are particularly gruesome to me. I know others love that, but it’s not for me. I hope the next launch is less scary classic Halloween. I’ve been melting Scentsy’s Bonfire Beach a lot lately. I let that bar age for a year, because I heard as BB gets older the marshmallow note comes out more and I think it has.🍏
Nice burns. Here on the west coast, hey neighbor btw, way up north there's a 160K acre fire going on and getting a whiff of smoke since last night. Windows have been closed. I didn't burn candles last night due to this fact, still doing YC Barbados Spiced Rum and BBW Backyard Honeysuckle will hopefully be started later today. Happy burning.
Thanks for sharing, per usual. This week’s burns: enjoying Kringle Country LE Candle Blood Orange and Juicy Peach (both have great wicks & clean burns); Kringle Reserve Gingered Peach; my beloved Sicilian Orange and other beloved Berry Clouds 3 wicks. I sampled CC Pinecone & Pomander wax melts. Next up : Warm & Toasty. BTW: looks like Penny made her modeling debut on the Kringle site for a dog days of Summer free Sommerset candle with $100 purchase! So cute. 🥰 Stopping by BBW to sample new Fall candles. 🍂Looking forward to enjoying all things Autumn! 🍁R
I am with you girl. Bring on FALL!!!🍂🍁I have 3 more summer candles pulled to burn and all of my apple scents ready to go. We start school next week, so that makes me even more ready for fall. I skipped the Kringle Apple Bourbon Oud, but may get a wax melt to try. I REALLY don't need ANY Fall candles, but BBW has a couple that I really want to try, so may grab one of each of them. Can't wait to see your furniture piece. Refinishing older furniture pieces is one of my hobbies as well.
Oh yes, they are dry I believe. I am in perimenopause and it's doing a number on my body. It's been a brutal couple of years. I could really do without these hormonal changes lol!
Where did you get the candle lamp at the top of your stairs? I really like the look of it. I clicked the links in your description but they don’t bring up this particular candle lamp. Thanks!
