Weekly Home Fragrance Roundup (with Alf!)

[@lmperez1665]

Hi Melanie! I just wanted to Thank You for all your content about the candle crocs. I used your link and purchased 2 from Boscov’s and they arrived this week. They are beautiful and the price is very reasonable. I crocked my first candle, BBW’s Firecracker Pop. The wicks dudded out and I hated to throw it away because the scent is so so good. Then I remembered about your love of crocking bad behavior and my problem was solved. My husband is very impressed. I value all your opinions and I thank you again for sharing. Looking forward to all your upcoming Kringle Fall candle reviews.

I'm so sorry I am so late to reply to this comment but thank you so much for mentioning that! It means a lot to me! Crocks are wonderful! Such a useful tool!

I’m not a summer person either. I actually get seasonal depression in the summer!

[@MrKongsMom]

YES! It is a thing!!! So many have shared the same sentiment with me.

Have a great weekend!! I have to finish up two Homeworx Blue Hibiscus Water candles this weekend. I love that scent. Beachy fresh!

[@taylornation320]

That was a really good one. I don't usually get good throw from HW but that one was rather good.

That Vacation candle sounds so good! I grew up in the 90s so it sounds like it will definitely bring back some memories for me lol I am going to check it out on their website. I haven’t been burning much this week cause it’s been so hot where I am and I also hate the summer 😂 the only candles I burned this week were BBW Pink Pineapple Sunrise and BBW Ocean and Vanilla Bean blend candle which is so good!

I’ve been burning Merlot and Ginger Beach together and it’s like the ultimate summer sangria. As much ultimate summer as I can handle. We’re in an extreme heat wave this week Melanie, it’s 98° 100% humidity. My air condition is working overtime.

[@MrKongsMom]

Now I wish I would have tried that combo!! I am already done with both candles lol

[@amberr6589]

The good news is, it’s supposed to cool down starting Sunday. It’s not going to be cold, but you might be able to get away with your window strategy a little bit longer. I finally uncovered my candle lamp and one warmer. I’ve been alternating between a lemon cake candle a friend gave me under the lamp and pink haze in the warmer in my office. Hoping I can find more in the great unpacking soon.

Hi Melanie. I skipped the Kringle new release this time! The only one that spoke to me was the cocoa fluff one but im not buying 100.00 wirth and im just a bit annoyed that Kringle never dies a free shipping. Tired of spending 8 bucks every time I want one or two candles. Oh well I can do without. Also i had my 1st kringle 2 wick that wont stay lit! Its an older herbal tea one.. Guess I need to crock it

[@MrKongsMom]

Yes, they did away with free shipping a while ago. I think the free shipping really hits companies hard honestly. That being said... I do love and appreciate free shipping. It does make it more likely for me to order.

We were on vacation up the California coast where it was in the 60’s and had to come home yesterday to high 90’s and today it’s going to be 99. 😭😭

[@MrKongsMom]

Unacceptable levels of heat lol!

[@lunalisa71]

Still waiting to purchase Vintage Pomander - still haven’t been able to get one! Fingers crossed they’ll restock it in large quantities soon!

[@MrKongsMom]

Hopefully soon!!!

American lake, omg I grew up on AL. My dad would take his drag boat there for practice. Maybe you were there thinking what it that guy doing. lol!! Your explanation of vacation, I am going to have to go try. I really dislike being outside in heat these days. Maybe I soaked it all in daily at AL and I am done. lol.

[@MrKongsMom]

Did you really???? Omg I lived on Dolly Madison, not far from the park area of the lake! Fun fact, we got a dog when we lived there and couldn’t agree on the name so my mom said her name was Dolly Madison 🤣

[@MrKongsMom]

I do remember the drag boats!!! What a small world.

[@yourfavpersuasion9385]

I only grabbed merlot & toasted fluff. I am still burning through summer homeworx i was not using because i kept forgetting them. right now im on track to finish two and two or three bbw 3 wicks.

[@MrKongsMom]

Let me know how you feel about them after you light them up ❤️

[@jennifermarie1230]

After you’re done with the candles in the crock, do you dump the wax into something so that you can recycle the candle jars? I do that with the bottoms of my candles, but I feel like if it’s an entire candle what the heck am I gonna dump it into?? Lol! I currently use a coffee can that is empty to empty my remnants of candles into but I feel like if I empty it entire candles it’ll fill it right up. I don’t drink that much coffee! 😂😂

[@MrKongsMom]

I make wax melts myself. I have a video in the description box that shows how I usually do it. But if you are not needing fire starters then this would not be ideal for you. I have also made patio candles! Great way to reuse the wax for some outdoor candles.

[@samhufnagel6319]

Have you smelled bbw poolside cabana? Smells like Vacation scent. They dont have a candle unfortunately.

[@Fragrance_Junkiee]

When I smelled the room spray to Poolside Cabana is smelled like the Under The Sun Candle. They both share that beachy banana scent 😊.

[@MrKongsMom]

I have never smelled that one but sounds like I need to try to seek it out if it comes back! Thanks for the heads up there.

[@myhardyboys1]

Does the Kringle grilled PB smell like Homeworx peanut butter waffle cone?? It is very savory and I really disliked it but now I love it.

[@MrKongsMom]

Way better! This does have some sweetness. The Homeworx was straight up salty peanut butter. I didn’t care for it the way I thought I would. I like the sweetness in the Kringle scent. Just wish it didn’t have the bummer wicks.

[@myhardyboys1]

Does Kukui and coconut smell like bum bum cream to you?

[@MrKongsMom]

A little bit....
