Home fragrance thread 🕯️💐🏠

[pocketvenus]

I've been meaning to post about home fragrance in forever, so here's a thread dedicated to candles, sprays, diffuser blends, incense or however else you are scenting your home 🙂

My favourite way of scenting my space is to customize my own diffuser blends but I do like a candle now and then. I love the way the Boy Smells candles look but I have to admit I'm not impressed. The throw isn't great and the wick is slanted so that the candle isn't burning evenly! It smells soooo good though ❤️

Currently burning Sunrise Woods from Bath & Body Works, ended up snagging this at the beginning of the fall season after falling in love in the aisle. I adore the gorgeous "red woods effect" wrap and think it gives the candle a much more beautiful look. Usually I don't expect to be a fan of candles with "Woods" within the name, as I find these fragrances tend to have an intensely "smoked wood" scent (opposed to true wood and leaves) and in general, I'm much more of a gourmand scent lover. However, despite having a distinct woodsy scent this candle packs a very homey and comforting touch mingled deeper within the notes which slightly remind me of TOCCA Stella perfume after it settles on the skin. I will say, the throw of this seemed to be a bit subdued compared to what I've been used to with other B&BW candles I've used in the past. Would definitely repurchase, I like that this shies away from my typical scent families yet that it still gives a distinct crisp autumn air feel.

Notes are: Creamy Sandalwood, Sweet Berries & Cozy Cashmere

A little cross post from the The Candles thread 🙂 hope that's alright 🙂 

Just finished burning the Pumpkin Snickerdoodle by Bath & Body Works large candle. I picked up a few autumn-friendly candles and still have a few to go through so I wanted to burn this one before anything-pumpkin-related fell out of season (controversial take coming from me considering my favorite year-round bathroom wax melt scent is Pumpkin Buttercream, but I digress). The scent was pretty spot on but I wouldn't say it had enough of a distinguishment to be a true right-on-the-nose snickerdoodle scent, but it came pretty darn close. Throw was fantastic on this one, I burned this in my bedroom and could distinctly smell it throughout my partner's office area and our dining room when I left the door open. Will definitely repurchase this one if it comes around next season 🙂

A super cheap find when I went to ALDI (which I went to for the first time in ages), I believe this little candle was about $2-3? I love sweet scents and have never seen a cereal scented candle before so i had to pick it up. This is a small candle but the throw is amazing and you can definitely smell it throughout my entire large room. Will definitely get another one of these when I go back to ALDI 🙂 The best way to describe it is that it smells like a fruity pebbles milkshake, which seems to be accurate on it's label now that I look closely but I came to this conclusion after I lit the candle.

@QueenMarceline Grrrrr, I get so jealous of people who have an Aldi!  I've heard that their candles are fab.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CookieGirl1 Now I'm realizing how lucky I am to have an Aldi near work.  My only complaint right now is that I'm waiting for the next batch of candles to be released -- the most recent releases didn't hit the spot.

I bought a 3-wick Vanilla candle from them that I need to try.  Fingers crossed!

[QueenMarceline]

@CookieGirl1 Awww, I'm so sorry. Oddly enough I never had any near me (maybe one about 20 miles away?) but now all the sudden 3 popped up all around me what seems like overnight.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@QueenMarceline Three?!  That's awesome!

[QueenMarceline]

@greeneyedgirl107 Yeah, it's not so bad but I hate going in stores for whatever reason. I love shopping online hahah.

[CookieGirl1]

@QueenMarceline I'm jealous!

[QueenMarceline]

@CookieGirl1 Fingers crossed that one pops up near you soon. 💝

@QueenMarceline @greeneyedgirl107 What a great price. I wonder if I can find these where I am. It  must be really nice scent if you both have positive things to say about it 👌

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Mellmars1185 I was really knocked over by the quality!

[QueenMarceline]

@Mellmars1185 It's truly delicious, I'm going to try to pop into ALDI to get a couple more of these tomorrow. Also... this tiny candle lasted me well over 24 hours of total burn time (somewhere around 36 hours)... I'm honestly shooketh.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@QueenMarceline OMG!  I can't believe you posted about this particular candle, b/c I just tried it the other night and am beyond obsessed.  I got mine the other day for .99 at Aldi, and have been itching to get more.  I won't be near an Adli until tomorrow, and who knows if they'll be in stock.  I haven't been this impressed with a candle in years.  I even tried to do BOPIS with Aldi, but they don't seem to do it with candles.  I'm so sad that I'll probably miss out on more of these.

[QueenMarceline]

@greeneyedgirl107 Isn't it crazy good for the price? I wonder if mine was also $0.99 because I bought two separate candles and I think the other one may have been $3-4 now that I think of it. I have to go back to grab a couple of these, so so yummy.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@QueenMarceline As you can see, I picked up seven of these.  My main location was sold out, but another location had a ton.  Unfortunately, they were on sale for $1.99 instead of the .99 I paid at the original Aldi's.

[QueenMarceline]

@greeneyedgirl107 OOOOH! I'm jealous. I'm going to do a drop by tomorrow.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@QueenMarceline I would have bought more if it was still 99 cents!

[QueenMarceline]

@greeneyedgirl107 I will keep you posted. I'm going to head out there in the next couple of hours.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@QueenMarceline good luck!

[QueenMarceline]

@greeneyedgirl107 I got them! 🙂 Picked up about 10 of them at $1.49 each. So a bit more than $0.99 but under the $2. Looks like they're rolling out a new stock of candles as well. Picked up two of the lemon buttercream scented ones as well (I think those will be leaving as well).
