Candle favorites?

[taiwanmom2011]

I'm brand new, so please forgive if it's not ok to ask for recommendations...which of the candle scents/companies do you love best that actually smell like the resorts in particular?

I don’t burn candles - I just want to say welcome

I've ordered from both The Magic Candle Company and The Columbia Fragrance Company. I ordered "Contemporary" from MCC and "Walt's Wonderful World" from CFC. They are both the same scent used in the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, and somewhere else. I prefer the one from Columbia. It's just a tad more milder/subtle and a smidge more spot on I think.

I have two 3 other candles from Magic Candle: Banshee (way too strong, don't like it but it's popular), Africa (the scent when you're on Soarin' and flying over the elephants I think). I really like that one. I had also ordered Destino but I didn't like it at ALL, even though I loved the smell of the Grand Destino tower when I was in there. Gave that one to my son!

I'd like to try more companies but my funds are not limitless!

I order my from Etsy -
3 Cheeky Chicks
Main Street Melts
Fandom Fairytales
Still Water Candles
My favorite scent is the Beach Club which is aloe and clover. I am burning the “Poly” scent from 3 Cheeky Chicks now and it smells amazing. But, they really all smell amazing.

I wish I could remember the Etsy shop my daughter ordered me a candle from. It was Dole Whip. I had to throw it out. I was highly allergic to it! Not sure what was in it.

Magic Candle Company- There Grand Floridian scent is spot on.

I have only tried Magic Candle and for the price point (even with discount and free shipping) I didn't feel it was worth it. Wasn't blown away with the fragrance. Didn't last.

If only Bath and Body Works/White Barn would make a resort scent candle!

Yankee for over 30 years now

I don't really want my house to smell like a resort.

 

[TCRAIG]

Magic Candle Flying over India is my favorite.

Goose Creek.

Another vote for goose creek. The older yankee candles if you can find resale. New ones
not worth a darn in my opinion. The best for me was Gold Canyon but they went out of
business.

Another vote for Core Memory Candles

Goose Creek candles have a stronger scent than Yankee Candles or Bath and Body Works, and they burn extremely evenly down to maybe a 1/4 inch of wax left in most cases. Their jar candles have two wicks, so you get an even burn rather than a tunnel down the middle with a lot of wasted wax. Plus, they're always running a sale.

I can't recommend them enough- I live with two smokers and Goose Creek are the only candles I've tried which keeps the stink at bay.

Yankee Candles!! My all time favorite is Autumn Leaves (for the Fall) and Mistletoe (for winter). I'm burning Lemon Lavender now.

I didn't care for the Magic Candle ones at all.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

We don't buy Disney-scented candles. I couldn't tell you what a resort or ride smells like off the top of my head. Then again, it's been 4 years since I've been to WDW.

 

[Cadiewampus]

Magic Candle Company. My favorite is Walts office

Makers of Wax Goods. They have a vanilla bourbon scent that I could burn all year.
