B&BW Candle Day 2023

[@eddybrock227]

Brioche french toast was a winner for me

[@ShaizaShamim]

Just came across your channel, thanks so much for sharing your insight!

[@michellepitzer9774]

Hot Pink Cocoa was my favorite purchase on CD.

[@LisaDC27]

Yay! I'm so thrilled to see you back again. Love your reviews!

I found the destinations and affirmations candles collections this weekend. So i ended getting those. Great review, love the details

I really love Candy Cane Colada. I use a candle warmer, so I let me candles go a bit longer than I technically should. The peppermint comes out for me nicely. I was okay with Candy Emporium. The longer I let it melt the more it mellowed into sweet mint candy the old church ladies used to give me. I returned it anyway. Disappointed in the All is Calm collection all around personally. I sincerely don’t understand why they don’t crack open the vault for marketing and buzz. It must be an ingredients thing. The fact they aren’t even trying to re-engage longtime buyers is boggling.

You a good one for putting up with their online shenanigans, I can't do it. The poor organization, the shipping, not knowing when your things will show up, blind buying, not knowing if they'll pack the items right or pick defective items, and worst of all an artificial line to access the website LMAO. When you mentioned that rainbow swirl candy scent i thought "Dang! i missed out on that one!" until you mentioned cherry 😂 i wouldn't have liked it anyway. I thought candy emporium was really weird too.

I thought I would love Brioche French Toast, so I bought four. I agree with you, it was awful to me burning - I could ONLY smell maple syrup to the point that it made me nauseous. I returned the three I didn’t burn and would like to return the one I burned, but will probably just keep it. I didn’t care for Hot Pink Cocoa either. It smells like a raspberry filled cheap Whitman sampler chocolate to me. Caramel Frappuccino was just a repack of White Caramel Cold Brew, and I’m not big on caramel scents either. White Chocolate Macadamia was the best of the collection in my opinion, but still kind of bland and similar to other coconut bakery scents we’ve had before, as you mentioned. I was a real Scrooge about the bakery collection. I loved the idea of them, but not the execution.

Candy emporium,Clausmopolitan and top shelf elf failed smell test

[@mind-of-neo]

I am so sick and tired of BBW's stupid artificial scarcity. I should not have to compete to purchase candles or make it my full time job. This whole "candle x wasn't put out until 9 am but it sold out by 11 am" thing has got to stop.

[@jennifermarie1230]

Candle day Was SO MUCH BETTER SOOOO MUCH BETTER before the Hype of Instagram!! That and not to mention Everything has changed as far as returns and exchanges go bc of ppl on IG trying to exchange almost fully emptied candles!

[@caluxy]

Next year, for candle day, would you go in store to pick out candles in the amount you want or would you still do online only?

[@Bren]

It probably will depend on if they put everything I am interested in out at the start or if they’re going to stagger it again.

[@caluxy]

@@Bren Sound idea, bc you’d also have to see if you’re interested in any candles, staggered for the next day.

[@betsybabf748]

I had an amazing online shopping experience. Usually my Candle Day orders take forever. I ordered 6 am Friday, early access day. They were shipped that afternoon and I had them Sunday. I wasn't interested in the White Elephant collection at all.

[@Bren]

Wow!

[@lunchbreaks3742]

I did the same as you- two orders online. Which was fine. Like you said nothing got canceled and relatively quick shipping so that’s a win. However, really not digging the way they release gradually in store. Takes the fun out of it for me. Not trying to check in multiple times over the weekend. I know what I want. Let me get it day 1.

[@Bren]

Right, I wish they’d at least put out the new scents at the beginning. If they must save some for later shoppers, put out the usual returning scents (frosted cran, tis the season etc) later in the day for randos who are just wandering in.

[@lavender_coffee]

I hated all the new candles for Candle Day this year, including the supposed bakery collection. They were all very artificial and unpleasant to my nose. And the Christmas candles this year were lackluster in general. The best one to me was Happy Hanukkah. It was much stronger and better than Wildberry Jam Donut but didn’t seem to sell well, I assume because it was in Hanukkah packaging.

[@s.r6331]

The packaging is soo pretty but I hate the scent. I didn't get it.

[@kristipatterson9952]

🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@FancFree85]

Compared to previous years candle day and winter scents…BBW failed In bringing the pizazz from scents to packaging. Where’s the bakery?? Even their body care this year was a flop.

Maybe you're just not into candles so much anymore....
