Halloween 26
Halloween 26 🎃👻
My box finally arrived!! After a week and a half! I always feel like I don’t need to review old scents because I’ve already reviewed them from past years. But if y’all like them, I’ll keep doing returning candles! It does help for the newbies and whatnot.
I grabbed 6 out of the 9 scents available, and I doubled Black Cat though! You won’t get away from me this year! 😂 Man oh man, these labels!!! They KILLED them this year!! (No pun intended 😂) I rate these based on cold throw.
TRICK OR TREAT (repurchase) — notes of caramel apples, pumpkin-spiced graham crackers, gooey marshmallows & melted chocolate.
The LEGEND. The ICONIC. TRICK OR TREAT!
I LOVE LOVE everything about this label!! Much better than the previous years, besides last year’s Vault Collection label! It was the closest to the OG label!!
The haunted house, bats, ghosts, the candy flying around and the kids!!! Omg, they paid homage to the original label with the trick-or-treating kids holding the pumpkin buckets!! Ahhh!!! SO much detail on this label!
It’s the BEST Halloween candle for a reason! Always sells out every year!!
It remains the same candy bag smell it has always had! The apple is the perfect balance of apple! It’s like an apple graham cracker pumpkin spice.
1000/10
GRAVEYARD GHOST TOUR — notes of crisp leaves, tombstone moss, midnight rain, dark patchouli & smoky vetiver.
Y’all, if you’re into earthy/moody-type scents, then this is for you!! To my nose, it smells similar to one of the Beetlejuice candles! I can’t pinpoint which one yet, but I’m sure it’ll come to me later!
The patchouli isn’t very overpowering, unlike Summer Moon! Omg, actually it’s like a half-sibling to Summer Moon!
8/10
PUMPKIN CARVING (repurchase) — notes of apple, festive pumpkin, nutmeg, clove, caramel & cinnamon.
I’m SO happy this is back!!!! This SMELLS exactly the same!!! I’m so happy about that!!! Again! This was last seen in 2024 along with Black Cat.
I used to say this was a dupe for BBW Pumpkin Carving, but smelling it this year, my mind has changed! GC Pumpkin Carving is more apple-forward, whereas BBW doesn’t have apple! It’s really giving apple cinnamon pumpkin spice! It’s so delicious 🤤
10/10!
HAUNTED THEATER — notes of buttery movie popcorn, sea salt & creamy caramel drizzle.
This label!!! Is CHEF’S KISS!!! The ghosts are everything to me!! It makes me want to frame some pictures of ghosts and use them as Halloween decorations!
Now onto the scent! WHERE’S THE BUTTERY POPCORN!?! You speak of GC!! 😂 It’s ALL caramel!! I don’t know how I feel about this one. It’s not terrible, but I WANT POPCORN!
If you were going to do caramel and popcorn, you should’ve just given us a repackage of Dazzling Popcorn 😂 or brought back Movie Date and added caramel.
7/10
BLACK CAT (repurchase) — notes of vanilla musk, marshmallow, campfire woods & sandalwood.
This has EASILY become a favorite of mine! I first purchased this back in 2024 when it returned after being extinct from the large jars. It came back out in the 3-wick form. It still smells the same as the 2024 formula! Which is always a plus!!
It puts you in the mindset of Marshmallow Fireside, just a little darker, more marshmallow and woodsy! Ahh! She’s so good!
10/10
WITCH’S CAULDRON (repurchase) — notes of petrifying patchouli, forest fog & haunted woods.
Takes the cake as 2nd best!!! The label is GORGEOUS!!! I love all the elements of Halloween on this candle! The witch’s broom, the cat, the spell book, the cauldron, the crystals, etc…
This is a VERY moody candle!! Smelling it reminds me of my first year of Halloween in 2023! I call this the witchy woman!!! I buy her every year!! I now have 3 in stock!
Although, this year’s smells better than last year’s. This is the first candle that made me fall in love with patchouli!
