Good evening, readers! I hope your Thanksgivings as well as Black Fridays have been eventful and joyous! Today's post will involve pictures and scent descriptions of two untouched scented candles that I have purchased. Also, you won't be disappointed by my new blog scheme, coming soon. Now to save space, I am going to delve right into the candles!
The first candle is Marshmallow Peppermint by Slatkin & Co., a division of Bath and Body Works devoted to home fragrance (scented candles, wallflowers, room sprays, oils, etc.). It is in the 14.5oz size, burns for 45-60 hours, has red glitter on the label, and matte red wax with three thick white wicks. In addition, it is a circular shape with a 4" diameter and 3.5" height.
I apologize for the uneven borders as I am just now experimenting with photo editing software. Moving on, when I smell this candle solid (not burning), I detect strong notes of peppermint and sweet marshmallows immediately, then I smell the faint fragrance of warm vanilla. For me, it is the perfect holiday blend and I can't wait to burn it! Here is the company's official description of the aroma: This delicious blend of sweet peppermint, fluffy marshmallow cream and rich vanilla cupcake is sure to delight one and all this season. The wax actually falls in toward the center, which is inverted. I have a feeling this will correct over time, and is not an issue.
Next up is my first Diamond Candle in the scent Cozy Cabin. As a matter of fact, the "IT Factor" for this company is actually behind its name! Every single candle contains a ring valued at $10, $100, $1,000, or $5,000! Now those of us who are familiar with marketing strategies understand that most of them will be valued at $10, but being able to wear a ring from one's candle is a fantastic bonus to the purchase! This candle is 21 oz, burns 125-60 hours, has a cutesy animated picture of a lit cabin on the label, and has even, matte warm cinnamon-colored wax.
When I take a whiff of this sucker, I smell wood, a burning fireplace, sugar, spices, and warmth overall. It is astonishingly different, and has that quality where you are pulled to it, and can't stop smelling it! Here is the certified description of the fragrance: You are going to love this one. This earthy and warm cedarwood vanilla infused scent will bring up images of that log cabin that you went to on vacation or those Lincoln Logs® with which you grew up playing. This is a perfect scent that will keep things fresh and warm all winter long. Neither paid mountainous vacation or Lincoln Logs® set included. They have a nice sense of humor, I will enjoy this one for sure! To the left and below I have images of the golden packet containing the ring, the wick, and the wax. The candle has instructions regarding the removal of the ring. Next, I would like to talk about the wick. It is quite odd, about half an inch long, very thick, and has visible cloth fibers weaved together loosely, I plan on trimming the wick before I burn this. Finally, the wax is even but has interesting, faint rings that remind me of a log. LOL, what a coincidence :-).
*Takes deep breath* Finally, you have seen my two scented candles! I will be burning Marshmallow Peppermint first, then Cozy Cabin. Hopefully you enjoyed this mini-haul/overview.
Comment below telling me if you have any scented candles or if you recommend any brands! I would love to hear your feedback as well!
