Bath and Body Works Candles

Here I go again, blogging about home fragrance products.  I can't help it!  I am a lover of all things that smell good. 

This one really excites me.  My favorite way to make my house smell good is with candles, and there's no better candle out there than the ones from Bath and Body Works.

My most recent VoxBox from Influenster contained a wonderful mini candle in "Cider Lane".  Not surprisingly, this scent smells just like warm apple cider, but with hints of cinnamon and caramel. 



Those mini candles are only 2 for $5 right now, and I think that's the perfect price to try out different scents and find one that you love, or mix different scents to create your own (Twisted Peppermint and Marshmallow Fireside?!  Sounds good to me...). 

I recently picked up a 3-wick candle in Peppermint Mocha and oh, my, goodness.  From their product description: "Winter's sweetest treat blends peppermint, vanilla cream and cocoa topped with marshmallow. One of eight nostalgic collection fragrances inspired by the Holidays at home."  I could absolutely EAT this candle!

The best part about Bath and Body Works candles is that when you burn them, they REALLY smell.  I hate when I buy a candle and sure, the wax smells great, but I can't really smell it burning in the next room.  A candle from Bath and Body Works will permeate scent through your entire house.  What makes them so awesome?  From thir website:

  • Highly fragranced candle exclusively developed and tested by our team of Home Fragrance experts, including the world's best master perfumers
  • Made using the highest concentration of fragrance oils, an exclusive blend of vegetable wax and lead-free wicks for optimal performance

  • For $20, it's definitely worth it.  They last a long time, too: burn time on a 3-wick candle is about 30-45 hours.  I pick a new scent for every season.

    Another cute bonus with my Peppermint Mocha candle - a recipe for Peppermint Mocha Bark.  A nice touch!  :)




    Prefer not to burn candles?  Bath and Body Works also creates their wonderful home scents into Wallflowers (scented plug-ins), Home Fragrance Oils and beautiful Oil Warmers, Room Sprays, and Scentportables (refillable, portable units without a plug, battery, or flame, just clip or set them where you want them).  Whichever you use, you won't be disappointed!
