Fall Candle Haul & First Impressions Review - 2023 | Bath & Body Works | TouchTheFireTwice

[@dawnr5158]

I’m actually loving all the new fall packaging, I think It’s really nice when they base it on the older years, rather than a candle that looks like it should be sitting in either a child’s or a teenagers bedroom. The plain packaging is also really nice when you just want to have an everyday candle sitting out in your home. Honestly though the decorative packaging is what makes the candles stand out much more, it’s obviously what separates them from the average plain old everyday candles. The new packaging also makes it really nice for people who likes to decorate for all of the different holidays and seasons!! 😊

Burning my Blueberry Pumpkin Patch for the first time tonight. Smells wonderful.

Gotta' say, BEST descriptions I've ever seen/heard. Showing & referring to some of the older scents & how they differ.... + adding in the notes of those currently available = makes for the viewer really being able to almost experience themselves, through you! THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge & experiences.

[@julieanna8495]

You are very descriptive when describing these scents. You have the soul of a writer. 🙌✨😬. Very well done. This is my first time listening to one of your shows and I am hooked, so I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your fun analysis on these candles.

salted amber and vetiver is horrible.the throw is super weak, which is disappointing since I had hope.The apple and charcoal is my surprise favorite. I originally wrote it off as just another apple fragrance, but is delicious and simple burning. You get a little of that smoky note when it burns. The burn is flawless and strong.

THANK You!! Ive had Salted amber & Vet on my list since it released! I LOVE Amber!! Yankee Candle Amber moon is one of my alltime faves, currently burning one and after this one(3/4 left) i have only 1 large jar left. Its yankee with the old school large label♥️♥️♥️♥️ The Nostalgia 😊 i LOVE it this time of year when the season is changing, i love the label too its very Halloween to me.🖤🖤🖤 I found them at TJ maxx years ago and wish i bought them all evn tho I purchased 4!! U save me money on the SA&V.

[@daisygirrl1234]

The first time I was ever introduced to Vetiver was last year when the coconut and vetiver candle came out …I took a chance and was pleasantly extremely in love! It smelled like such a high end summer hotel room almost. I was so disappointed when it didn’t come back this year, but luckily I stocked up 😅

Please do a Blueberry pumpkin patch comparison video if u have time❤❤

[@Hobbyguy03]

I think the "vera wang" packaging is nice it goes well with the color wax. But to each its own 😊

[@dawnr5158]

Yes I really like the new fall packaging, and definitely enjoying the different color wax. 👍👍 I’m not a fan of the plain packaging, don’t get me wrong it’s nice to put out any time of the year, however the fall packaging is definitely there for a reason, just like all of the Halloween/Xmas candles!! I don’t understand how someone could not enjoy all the new beautiful fall packaging, but I guess you just can’t please everyone, and like you stated, “to each is own”. 😊

[@heatherwillis8930]

I completely agree with you on Paris cafe...turns my stomach BUT it does smell a bit better burning vs on cold. I look forward to any and ALL reviews you give. Thank you!

[@caleighross79]

Ok I had this in my cart, then took it out because I don’t like the smoky scents, but if it’s an authentic bark- I think I’ll like it!!! Thank you!

[@juliearias3774]

I also burn Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla in the mornings with my coffee. 😊 I do burn it year round though. Wonderful review as always, Josh!

[@dawnr5158]

FBC is not a repacking of PC, you can definitely tell the difference between them both, well at least I can. FBC is literally just fresh coffee beans and steamed milk, PC is rich coffee, brioche, and vanilla cre’me. They do smell a tad similar but that’s obviously due the coffee note. In my opinion PC has a much sweeter scent and that’s due to both the brioche, as well as the vanilla cre’me, it most definitely has a much stronger throw too. FBC however is a dud, it has a burnt coffee smell, and if you’re a coffee lover that’s not so great of smell, it’s also very weak with it’s throw!! 😊

[@ouiser1955]

You are correct. It’s not the same candle. PC was way too strong for me. I had ordered it online and returned it to store. The scent was over the top. FBC, at least to my nose is not as strong. I haven’t burned it yet but on cold it is definitely not a smack in your face scent like PC.

[@gbecks3672]

I agree. Definitely not the same. Paris cafe is too sweet for me

[@dawnr5158]

PC is indeed a strong throwing candle, and for some people it can most definitely be headache inducing. I absolutely love PC, it’s one of my favorite fragrances, but I can only have it lit for a certain amount of time, I also have to burn it in a large area because of how strong the throw is.

[@SueGreene-st7qc]

Freshly brewed coffee actually smells very good burning, and Paris. Café is actually my favorite candle in Bath and Bodyworks collections. Fresh brewed coffee is not as sweet. It’s now in the running for first for me along with Paris café.

[@lucieweaver3324]

Thanks Josh and looking forward to your thoughts post burn on the Blueberry Pumpkin Patch. I really wasn't into BBW back then but have heard so many talk about this one on social media - am excited to try myself!!

[@jennifermarie1230]

If you have never tried Yankee candle CRISP CAMPFIRE APPLES I absolutely recommend it Josh it is AMAZING!! The Apple + Charcoal was actually one i was most excited about!! And even with those great coupon prices I did not buy any fall candles yet. And believe me it wasn't easy because I absolutely love fall! But as of late I am just trying to keep up with the seasons and enjoy the season we are in. I feel like companies push us too fast forward. I am very excited to grab a few though.

[@ReillyWilde]

Agreed-no smoky note in Apple + Charcoal; smells very similar to Honeycrisp Apple when side by side in store. I picked up a Harvest Pomegranate single wick; delicious apple note that smells better to my nose than Honeycrisp Apple. Ever since you provided the back story on Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla, now I smell greasy donut (yuck, IMO). I have a few Autumn candles to pick up. Freshly Brewed Coffee smells like strong black coffee sans cream & sugar, IMO. Your in depth reviews on Blueberry Pumpkin Patch & Freshly Brewed Coffee sound interesting. 🤗Enjoy your Autumn candles. 🍁 ☘️

[@CNu1975]

I love that you mention espresso bar. I totally remember that and the vibe from the old school mall coffee bean wall / cafe when they were semi new. ☕️ I ordered this one online just to be sure it was a repackage of Paris cafe 😆. Sigh!!!

[@jennifermarie1230]

Josh. The earliest version of Pumpkin Cinnamon bun I tried was i believe 2016 (same collection as Pumpkin French Toast) and Imo and what ive heard, Others opinion is that each version after smelled a bit different than that version. More frosting now.

[@ccraisins2005]

If you get a chance could you do a history and comparison of all of the coffee candles like you did the Blueberries?

[@stefs1155]

Freshly brewed coffee has no throw. I returned it

[@GrandmaRose9000]

John Cooper Clarke wrote a poem for someone like you.

[@babyyvie]

😫To me, blueberry pumpkin patch is just a spicy version of blueberry maple pancakes😫

[@gbecks3672]

What!? Not even close to me. I can’t stand blueberry maple pancakes. It’s so funny how our noses are so different 😂

[@babyyvie]

The coffee one is definitely a weak Paris cafe 🤦‍♀️
