Midnight Forest 🌲 from Chesapeake Bay 🌲 candle review, brand overview & history!!

Such a beautiful, dark & lush, botanical candle! It is surprisingly versatile as well 😉

Thank you for the history on this brand! So interesting. I buy them at Target to stack my red card discount and when they run a sale. I enjoy this brand.

I love that you review candles from so many different brands. It's nice to see smaller/less mainstream brands getting some attention. 💜

[@coffeecandles3359]

I’m so glad you said that! Sometimes I wonder if I should keep doing it because often far less people watch those videos. I think, gosh maybe people don’t care about these brands. But I honestly enjoy sampling all over the place, so I might as talk about them!

@coffeecandles3359 My opinion is that there will always be a surplus of mainstream candle content. There are VERY few people who do smaller brand content. So, if someone needed/wanted info and reviews, where do they look? As candles lovers, we have all at some time picked up candles from brands we were unfamiliar with. It's nice to hear someone talk about them. Keep up the good work! And, congratulations, again. 💜😉

Interesting look, went to Target and saw the wood tops, they're the aromatherapeutic ones that I don't care for and CVS has them too, I think they have them on clearance, they do with 12 oz pillar Yankee ones. Target had one pumpkin scented candle but that item wasn't on file due to sending them all back to the company. Exciting news though: finally found Spiced Rum, Beach Bum, and Ocean In Aruba Caribbean Collection candles there. I'm on the hunt for the other two very soon. I've burned a few Chesapeake Bay candles but not this new look and line. The Target ones to me now are the Threshold 12 ounce ones. Connor from Connor Loves Candles burned two of them I think. Interesting story.

I smelled this during Target Circle week too when you mentioned it on the channel. Loved it on cold & will pick it up on my next Target run. I enjoyed the Leather Oak one & want to try Black Bamboo, Cashmere Plum & Sweet Tobacco 😊.

They all smell great, don’t they?!

[@kathybennett2108]

Thank you for this review! I just ordered two from Amazon !💚🩶

[@spookyboyjones9373]

The frosted glass pillars are by far the best looking burning. Not strong but I don't care much. ❤

[@coffeecandles3359]

Oooo I hadn’t thought of that! Yes, I’m not a huge fan of ceramic.

Hi. I enjoyed this video. I have recently been enjoying Chesapeake Bay candles. Bought one at Yankee Candle called coffee and praline. Really very nice! Would you say this midnight forest candle leans holiday at all like a Christmas tree? Thank you for this review and for the history of Chesapeake Bay candles.😊

[@coffeecandles3359]

For me, no not holiday

[@stefs1155]

Unrelated, but BBW email says today is the final day for $10.95 candles? Do you really think they won’t bring back that price before SAS ends? I can’t make it in today. I guess I can do BOPS.

[@coffeecandles3359]

I know I saw that too! So weird. The only thing I can think is that they want to generate more buzz by raising the price and then lowering it again 🤷🏻‍♀️
