Two of my favorite brick and mortar stores to buy fall goodies are Bath & Body Works and Walmart. At BBW one of my favorite sights is walking in and seeing and sniffing all the glorious fall scented candles! I always wait for sales and coupons to purchase my 3-wick candles because they are very pricey to me at their regular cost of $22.50. There were no sales at the time I was visiting the store, so I will wait to purchase my candles. I did snap these photos of the lovey, orderly candle shelves for viewing pleasure, and I sniffed some for research purposes of course.
The following is my list of my impressions of favorite returning fall candle scents and cold sniff thoughts on some new scents I hope to purchase.
Returning Favorites:
Pumpkin Coconut: this is my all time favorite BBW candle scent! Such a delicious blend of creamy, rich coconut and warm roasted pumpkin.
My second favorite candle scent is the classic Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. A rich, warm pumpkin bakery aroma with hints of nutty pecans.
Cinnamon Sugared Doughnuts is such a lovely realistic candle scent. It smells like freshly baked, warm, flakie donuts rolled in cinnamon and sugar.
Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte
A wonderful coffee and spiced pumpkin blend with a hint of sweet, gooey marsmallow cream.
Marsmallow Fireside
An unparalleled blend of woodsmoke, crisp pine trees and ooey gooey toasted marshmallows.
Pumpkin Cupcake
A sweet, pumpkin cake scent smothered in vanilla buttercream frosting. Yum!
Caramel Pumpkin Swirl
A rich, luscious caramel sauce drizzled over pumpkin cake with a hint of cinnamon.
Pumpkin Apple
A rustic fall blend of crisp, juicy red apples and pumpkin pie.
Berry Pumpkin Strudel
This is an intriguing and unique blend of dark berry jam and pumpkin pie filling. I can't wait to try this one.
Pumpkin Woods
This blend is heavy on the woods with hints of pumpkin spice. A great combo!
Cider Lane
A hot mug of steaming apple cider with mulling spices. How exciting!
Chocolate Pistachio
This is probably the new scent I'm most interested in purchasing. I've read rave reviews of it and on cold sniff it smelled fantastic! Deep, rich, slightly sweet dark chocolate with just a touch of nuttiness from the pistachio. Very complicated and gourmand.
I also spied these adorable fall wallflower holders. I do not use these personally, but how cute are they?! They would be great nightlights for kid's rooms, bathrooms or hallways.
Finally, here are the items I actually purchased from my trip to BBW. The fall handsoaps all smelled absolutely divine; it was hard to choose just 5 for the $18 sale.
Here are the scent desriptions from the BBW website of ones I chose.
Cherry Woods- The juicy scent of bing cherry, tart cranberry & blonde woods.
Marsmallow Pumpkin Latte- indulge in creamy pumpkin, toasted marshmallow & warm praline.
Crisp Morning Air- Wake up your senses with soft pine, fresh juniper & juicy pear.
Autumn Spiced Strawberry- A beautiful blend of autumn strawberries, fresh sage & spiced woods.
White Birch & Vanilla- Stroll through an autumn woods with the scent of white birch, vanilla mint & cashmere woods.
I had a $10 off $30 coupon to use, so along with my handsoaps I purchased mini candles on sale 3 for $12, a little thrill until I can purchase some 3-wicks.
How adorable are the lids on these mini candles? I love BBW's fall aesthetic!
My BBW fall collection could definitely be a post on it's own, but I also wanted to share the great things going on with fall wax at Walmart this season! My usual Walmart is sometimes several weeks late in getting in the next new seasonal scents and it's picked over wax isle was giving me anxiety, so I finally ventured to a different Walmart a few miles further away. It was totally worth it; the pristine shelves stocked with an abundance of fall goodies was awesome!
I picked up many new fall wax scents from BHG and Scentsationals, as well as some 719 Walnut Avenue candles.
I could not find descriptions for all of these wax scents online and I have not melted them yet, but I will definitely review them in future posts as I melt them. If you would like cold sniff impressions of any of these wax, please let me know in the comments below!
I also purchased 2 of my most favorite returning fall candle scents from Walmart: 719 Walnut Ave brand Pumpkin Waffles and Caramel Cinnamon roll. I have been buying this brand of candles over and over again for the past 3 years because for the price of $5 and the performance they can't be beat! The scents have strong throw for me and the candles burn well for the most part.
Have you ever tried any of these scents from BBW or Walmart? What are your favorite fall scents and products?
I love the 719 Walnut Ave. candles but didn't buy any for this fall because I still have some left over from last year. I found Perfect Pumpkin Ale (BHG) at my Walmart and got all excited! I grabbed it without even sniffing it. Still have not seen that peppermint one though, hoping it comes out for winter in my store.

Love your thoughts on the BBW candles. I want to buy Pumpkin Woods this year at some point. So far I only have Leaves and Marshmallow Fireside. I did get a coupon for a free mini candle an dgave it to my littlest to use. She picked out Pumpkin Apple. It smells pretty nice in her room. That birch vanilla hand soap sounds incredible! You have me needing to run to BBW to do a more thorough sniff fest.
ReplyDeleteI like the Cinnamon Roll candle from Walmart that you have here, but I only wish it had more spice. But I am spice crazy. Love the stuff.
Wow nice round up of purchases and sightings. I need to go to BBW and sniff Pumpkin Woods. That sounds like a scent I would really like. I have Crisp Morning Air as my current Pocketbac and really like it. I love a freshly stocked Walmart wax aisle! You picked out some good ones. I really like SS Crimson.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the pumpkin coconut 3 wick is on sale today for 10$!? And there's a 40% off coupon floating around to bring it down even more. I just called my store but they sold out but I'm tempted to purchase it online.
ReplyDeleteGreat comprehensive post!
Thanks a million Sunnee! I ordered 2. :) Best online coupon code I could find was 20% with code LONGWEEKEND.
DeleteOh my! Thanks for all of the fall wax pics, love it! I'm definitely giving Pumpkin Coconut a second sniff, sounds good. BBW kills it with plug-in designs, beautiful! I haven't seen that White Birch vanilla soap, but it sounds like a scent I would love:)
ReplyDeleteAh, Bath & Body Works. If there is one thing I miss from the States, it's the B&BW store experience.
ReplyDeleteI got introduced to 719 Walnut Ave brand by Deb, and I'm glad I don't live near any Walmarts to ransack their products!
I'm currently using a B&BW handsoap from 2014 in the scent Moroccan Fig & Honey and I'm in love. It's like a sophisticated, Autumnal perfume for your hands.
