Café au Lait ☕️ from Illume ☕️ candle review

This is a lovely, albeit modest, single-wick. And it makes me wonder why on earth other companies (ahem, BBW) haven’t produced their own coconut milk latte 🧐🧐🧐

I’m burning Paris Café over breakfast while watching your review. ☕️🤭 This one sounds interesting; will have to seek this out. Thanks for sharing! 🎂🥳 R☘️

Illume has always been a "quiet" vendor and you're right, I think they did start as contractors out to other stores. Even to Illuminations, which shared a (very similar) name! Today, I find them at Nordstrom, although only a few select scents. They've turned up in Bloomingdales, too.

Hello Sarita, I was in BJ’s Warehouse on Saturday & they had Yankee Candle 3 wicks in the most beautiful embossed vessels and four of the fragrances were from the Desert Collection that you found at Target. These were in vessels sized like BB&W but with the most beautiful 3D embossed designs. They didn’t have the Pine one. I thought of you & took a picture.

Oh you’re kidding!!!! I’ve got to get there!

[@stashiagoray4045]

They were mated down $2.00 as well!

I, too, love me some plain, dark, black coffee. No cream, no sugar, no nonsense..lol. I've appreciated/liked Paris Café and No. 33, Café Olé by Goose Creek, Yankee's Café Al Fresco, and my number one was Kringle's Coffee Shop, but all of those have other notes, and I really wanted to add one with just the coffee note. Literie's Bodega Coffee is suuuper close, if not just that. Cream is definitely listed as a note, but I don't detect much if any, and it definitely has the truest Coffee scent note in it. Thanks for another great review though!

Yay! Another coffee candle nerd! ☕️😉

[@coffeecandles3359]

Thanks for this amazing rundown!!

[@TIcowboys]

Right on! Always looking for recommendations too! I caved and bought Diptyque's Café after hearing some great things, so I'll have some info on that shortly. My wallet wasn't happy with that one, but hopefully my nose will have a difference of opinion 😅

Paris Cafe smells like gas station cappuccino but in a weird guilty pleasure way for me 😂

If you have a hobby lobby in your area they have a candle tin called "Kona Coffee" that I really enjoy. I wait for 50% off and get it for $8. Did you hear that in the next BBW wave of candles coming on the 24th they will have one called Cafe Latte with scent notes of "bold coffee, vanilla sweet cream, and caramel drizzle?"

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Thanks for the Hobby Lobby suggestion! We don’t have one here in my neck of the woods, but I’ll be on the lookout when I travel! Sidebar: I visited Hawaii once - Kona coffee is amazing 🤩

Good morning did you tell us how much those candles were in the video? If so, I didn’t catch it, and when I click on the link even on the Whole Foods site, it doesn’t say how much they are. It just says add to list. Thanks.

[@coffeecandles3359]

Great question - I think it varies a bit from region to region. In mine, they were $20, but during a sale I got them for $11

I bought this candle following this video, and even though the scent is nice, I had ZERO THROW from it. And I didn’t even try to put it in a big room, I put it in a smaller bedroom. Furthermore, I then put it under the lamp and with that the throw went from 0 to maybe 3.5/10. Disappointed. Total waste of $

[@coffeecandles3359]

Ugh so sorry!
