Bath & Body Works Candles?

[maslex]

I don't go to BBW often (maybe once a year) and truthfully I have never seen candles there. Never looked though.

Anyhow, are the candles the same scent as their lotions/body sprays? Or do they have random smells?

Do you like them? Do they last? Are they strong?

I love their candles. The scents aren't the same as their body washes or lotions though. Some of them are faint and some are strong. And some last longer than others. I think it depends on the scent, but I could just be burning some more than others which is why some last longer.

Right now I have a London themed candle that smells like tea. I don't want to burn it because it was a limited edition and the smell is AMAZING!

A tea scented candle?? Oh my goodness... I so want that!!

They really do have awesome candles. They have much more of a prevalent scent than my Yankee Candles do. I just picked up a blackberry one a few weeks ago and I have to admit, I've already almost burned it completely up.

Some of their scents are the same, some are different.

I have the Rio one from the same collection, and I refuse to burn it because I love it so much! It smells so amazing.

I just counted, I have 15 of their candles . I really them. Fresh and fruity scents in the warmer months, heavier scents in the colder months.

I used to buy YC until I discovered Slatkin years ago.

I wait until I get an e-mail about some spectacular sale, then I stock up

I also use their scented oils in my warmer, and their room sprays (esp in the bathroom for those "special" moments)

LOVE their candles!! They are better than Yankee Candles! Not the same scents as their sprays/lotions but they have some great ones! I have only found one that I don't care for- lemon mint leaf--really odd smell to that one!

We are addicted to these. When you buy one they usually have a survey at the end of the receipt for ten dollars off I think a thirty dollar purchase. They have a new scent out called Flannel that is amazing. My favorite though is called Autumn leaves. We buy these things by the gross!!!

I have your hoarding beat.

I actually have a Rubbermaid tote almost full. I worked there for a few years and I seriously bought at least two a month.

To be honest though at least 1/2 are all the same scent. "Winter"...I can't find anything like it and I am TERRIFIED the will discontinue it! I buy at least five a season .

I get them when they are 2 for $20...well now 2 for $22 and buy six. Then I use the $10 off a $30 purchase coupon and get a very good deal.

I MIGHT actually skip this year though. Saving for Disney.

If I run out, I will know who to hit up!!!! The fall and winter scents are my favorite!!!!

Oh and the reasons I like them:

They disperse scent well. I use one upstairs and one downstairs and that is all I need.

They are soy based and not "sooty".

They have an even burning pool so you basically use all of the product. (BTW...If your candle does NOT burn evenly you can return it.)

You get a ton of hours out of one candle.

I just burn one downstairs, the scent travels up my stairs to the second floor!!!!

OP, if you haven't tried them and like candles, you are missing out!

We have lots of them. They always have cute holiday things and change their scents often. I think the stores are called White Barn Candle Company here.

Count me in! LOVE THEM!!..

Join up on FB, and you see the upcoming offers... One of my best friends is a general manager, and when the deals are good, they are GOOD!

Just got the new mason jar candles 3 for $20 the other day. I love B+BW candles way more than Yankee.

I just got Autumn (amazing), Marshmallow Fireside (also amazing), and Farmstand Apple (triple the amazing).

I love the scent of "Winter" too!!!

I love 2 of the scents they have, cinammon and cloves and one that I can only get at Christmas time, it is called spice. i think they are much better than Yankee candle, to me Yankee Candles are hit or miss as far as the strength of the candles.

 

[Mickey527]

I have the Tea one too, it's called "London Calling" and is the scent of tea with Lemon. Sometimes I just take off the lid and it is enough, other times I burn it for longer scent time. It is half gone and I am being very careful to save it.
I love Yankee Candle's choices, but Bath and Body Works scents seem to last longer. I wish Bath and Body Works would make something close to my favorite Yankee scent Sun and Sand

Aww, I really like the lemon mint leaf!

I love those candles. To me Yankee will always be the best, but Bath & Body Works is a very close second. One scent I love to death is French Baguette. Good god that candle smells DELICIOUS. I'm afraid to light it because I don't think they make it anymore and I don't want it to burn away!

Another who absolutely loves their candles!!!!

After reading all the replies, had to go light one of them - Hot Buttered Rum.

Really like Winter Candy Apple & Twisted Peppermint. Like the smell of Watermelon Lemonade without burning it - kind of strong when burning.

We always stock up on the 3-wick candles. I just got a couple coupons for free mini candles. My DH bought some of the 3-wick candles as Christmas gifts for some of the ladies at work.

I just went in the other days and they were burning "pumpkin carving." If you could capture the smell of "fall" in a jar - this would be it. It smelled sooooo yummy

I am another fan of their candles - especially with a great sale.
