Magic Candle Company

We just got “Back In Time” in our subscription box. Very nostalgic 80’s smell. Does anyone know what Disney ride/resort/shop/etc this is supposed to smell like? I simply can not figure it out.

It’s not anything at Disney, it’s supposedly scents from the 80’s. I’ve been told it definitely smells like the old Drakkar Noir cologne men used to wear.

We love the Pirates of the Caribbean scent.

Update:
We love the Contemporary and Wilderness Resort.
We DO NOT like the Animal Lodge.
Pineapple Whip is good, but the scent does not fill the room as well as the top 2.
We love the candles and plan to buy more in the future!

I like the pirates one. Really smells like the ride. Actually when I first got it I stuck it on my entrance table and my dh walked by and said “why does it smell like a Disney water ride in here?” Lol

If you like the grass smell from the elephant scene in Soarin, then you will like Flying Over Africa!

I tried using the DIS coupon code this morning at Magic Candle Company and it said did not work? (disneyinfo for 15% off)
Anybody else having this issue?

Just got an email that said the African Lodge scent has been changed as of 4/5/22.
I am curious to see how they changed it since I got one in March and it was making me sneeze. (Only candle to ever do that)

Most scents are good but avoid the oils. Yuck. And watch the wood wick, one almost set my house on fire because it burned so high. And I had trimmed the wick way down. Fortunately I was close by and was able to blow it out! I like the Flying Over Africa, I can picture the elephant scene from Soarin' when I smell it!

Why did you not like the oils?

It also said the Wilderness Resort candle was changed too. Not sure what the change was, but for the 50th, I think Disney started the same scent at each resort? Afraid to reorder the Wilderness candle until we find out what they changed.

We like Floridian - have used both the candle and the oil (I have bath salts as well but I keep forgetting that we have them so they never get used). I just wish they would change the labels! I have to pull them off everything because something about how they feel is nails on a chalkboard to me

After your post, I just saw that!
I ordered the Wilderness Lodge candle before the change and enjoyed it.
Now I am curious...

Why did you not like the oils?

I think they were a bit too overpowering for me and I did not think they smelled like they were supposed to. I ended up throwing a set of 4 away, it was past the return date. Bought the Orange Grove foaming soap and did not like that fragrance in the soap form, but liked the candle. I do love the candles - I just need to keep a close watch on them because the wood wick can burn really high, even when trimmed down. Guess I will stick to just the candles!

Update:
Ordered the "new" African Lodge and Wilderness Lodge, along with the Floridian.
Will let y'all know how the "new" scents are when they arrive this week.

 

[DCJ]

Thank you... Am hopeful they are as good as before

 

[Jwaire]

For the record, I don't believe they smell anything like Disney. So, in a way, you're sort of creating your own nostalgia. If you want the real scents from the resorts they're available in a commercial air freshener (that's $$$).

Scents are very subjective.

However, I do enjoy Vero Beach, Contemporary (same as several others like Grand Floridian maybe), Banshee Flight, Castaway Cruise and H2O are by far my favorites.

I tend to purchase the candles and the oils in these scents and as the candle fades (I use the wax warmer and don't burn them), I put a few more drops of the oils in the wholly melted candle wax.

Space Coaster, Japan and Polynesian are just OK.

African Lodge, Walt's Office, Haunted, Flying Over Orange Groves, Wilderness Resort, Pixe Dust, Mine Train and Poison Apple are no goes for me.

Update:
The "new" scents of Wilderness Resort and African Resort are great! (African Resort candle no longer smells like baby powder.)
I am not sure if they are the same scent as WL or AKL though, since we were required to wear masks there when we went in Dec.
Floridian and Contemporary are the same scent, but we enjoy both of them!
Any other suggestions for candles we should try?

Sounds good to me. Going to order Wilderness. Beach club may be the same as Floridian and Contemporary if I'm not mistaken. When we walked into the Lodge a few months ago, I think the entrance was a different smell than the lobby. Maybe something to do with the 50th.

From what a cast member told me is that the 50th scent is called ear-idescent? or something spelled like that.
And the 50th scent has been added to many WDW resorts and DVC resorts off WDW.

I do know that Floridian and Contemporary are the same Magic Candle Company scent. It says so on the actual label on the candle.

I thought that as well...but apparently Disney wants the word "ear" included! haha
(Has to do with their patent and stuff for the scent for the 50th at WDW)
