Bath and Body Works Fall Haul and Review!


Hello Everyone! Fall has finally arrived, which means it's time to start burning those favorite fall candles from Bath and Body Works. Over the past month, BBW has had several 2 for $22 sales on their 3 wick candles, so of course I had to do some shopping. I thought I would share my thoughts on the candles I've purchased.

As you can see, I've already started burning a majority of my candles and so far I'm really impressed with each of them. Here are the candles I purchased:


Leaves: Celebrate the brilliant colors of autumn with this rich blend of golden nectar, red apple and spiced berries
 
The Leaves candle is a must-have for me and many others every year when Fall comes around. Personally, I would burn this all year round if it was available because I love it so much. This candle has a sweet, rich scent that really just captures the essence of Fall. Just as I expected this candle burned perfectly! The wax pool pulled out evenly with in 20 minutes of lighting and the scent throw was very impressive. I could still smell this candle for hours long after I had extinguished it.
 
 
Pumpkin Pecan Waffles: Delight in the scrumptious scent of pumpkin pecan waffles, pure maple syrup and a touch of brown sugar.
 

When I first placed an order online with BBW, I decided to skip this candle because I was afraid I wouldn't like it. A few weeks later I took a trip to my local store and finally got to smell it in person. The cold throw didn't immediately pull me in but I decided to get it anyway and I'm SO glad I did. Pumpkin Pecan Waffles has become one of my new favorites for Fall! When burning, the scent reminds me of the Cinnamon Nut Bread candle from last year, which sadly didn't make the cut for this year. This candle is very sweet and you can definitely smell the pecans and brown sugar! The only thing I was slightly disappointed about was that I really didn't pick up on any pumpkin scent in this candle.

 
Sweater Weather- Cuddle up with an aromatic blend of eucalyptus, juniper berry and fresh sage that celebrates the arrival of sweater weather.
 
Sweater Weather has become another new favorite of mine this season! It is a very strong, refreshing, clean scent that just reminds me of the colder months. The notes of this candle are truly right on point and it has a fabulous burn and throw! Although I was burning this candle a lot in the first few weeks of September, I'm probably going to hold off on burning it until November. I feel like this candle is a great transition scent between Fall and Winter. If you haven't tried this one, I would highly recommend it.
 
 
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin: Celebrate Pumpkin season with this inviting mixture of harvest pumpkin, sweet vanilla cream and fall's rich spices.
 
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin is another staple candle for the Fall season that is very well loved. Although this candle isn't one of my top favorites, I still had to get it. This candle has a sweet pumpkin scent with a great blend of different spices. The wax pool pulls out flawlessly, however I find that this candle doesn't have the strongest throw. If you're looking for a candle that really fills a large room with scent, this probably wouldn't be the best pick.
 
 
Apple Ale: Refresh yourself on a fall day with an effervescent blend of autumn apples, brown sugar and cinnamon bark.



 

I purchased this candle with my boyfriend in mind because he tends to like apple scents. Apple Ale reminds me of apple juice scent wise. I find that I like this candle a lot more when it's burning because the scent throw is amazing! The wax pool pulls out very quickly and the scent really lingers for hours. Overall, I really like this one.
 
 
Pumpkin Cupcake: Satisfy your sweet tooth with the scent of a freshly baked pumpkin cupcake covered in loads of rich buttercream frosting.
 
Pumpkin Cupcake is another staple candle that everyone seems to buy every Fall. It is very well loved and for a good reason. This candle is delicious bakery scent that combines a rich frosting scent with the spicy scent of pumpkin. This candle will always be one of my favorites! It has a great scent throw and the wax pool pulls out perfectly.
 
 
Autumn: a crisp fall fragrance that blends dark pomegranate and red delicious apple with notes of fir balsam and rich cedarwood
 
Autumn is a great candle for Fall if you love scents that are crisp, clean, and refreshing. I love this candle because it combines the smell of red apples with fir balsam which are two of my favorite scents. The wax pool on this candle pulls out flawlessly, however I don't feel that it has the strongest scent throw. Overall though I really enjoy this candle.
 
 
Pumpkin Carving: Invite everyone over to enjoy the fun fragrance of making jack-o-lanterns in this blend of pumpkin, brown sugar and nutmeg.
 
Pumpkin Carving is the only candle I haven't burned yet because I want to save it for October. To me this candle just captures Halloween perfectly and I want to make sure I can burn it that night. Although I haven't burned it yet, I know for a fact that this candle has a flawless performance. The simple ingredients in it, give a great scent that really encompasses that feeling of Fall.
 
 
 Cider Lane:As sweet as the trip to the local apple orchard each year, a delicious fall blend of mulled cider, warm caramel and sweet cinnamon
 
I decided to pick up a couple scents in the small mason jar candles because they're just so darn cute! The first scent I got is Cider Lane. Even though I really love this scent, the large 3 wick candle can be too overwhelming. This candle is just so sweet smelling, it just makes me think of apple picking.
 
 
Marshmallow Fireside: Celebrate the changing season with a warm blend of toasted marshmallows, smoldering woods and creamy vanilla reminiscent of a cozy evening 'round the bonfire.
 

The second mason jar candle I picked up is in the scent Marshmallow Fireside. This candle has been a favorite of mine since I purchased it last year! I'll probably get a 3 wick of this candle once winter comes around. I just love this smell! Its the perfect blend of fireside and creamy vanilla.
 
 

 These are all the candles I purchased for Fall! I was disappointed that Cinnamon Sugared Donut didn't come back this year. Which candles did you purchase this Fall? Which ones are your favorite?
