I’ll keep this one short and sweet. But man this one is STRONG. Everything I want in a candle. It’s almost too strong. But it gives you that just right amount of a powdery beautiful scent. Patchouli can sometimes make me nauseous but I’m glad this one doesn’t. But this one is a 10/10 highly recommended. If you want a strong candle then this is your guy. So glad others pointed out to me that it has a strong throw as it was not part of my order initially.

So I found the Harry Potter Candles at Walmart last winter and one of those reminded me of this candle. I pinpointed that it is very similar to Marauder’s Map. If not an exact repackage then it is very close. This candle does give you that outdoor just rained on wood scent. And if I had to pick out a difference it would be that this one has more of a greenery note. The throw is also very good as I have no problem smelling it. I’d give it a 6/10 throw. Just a little disappointed that it smells so similar to Marauder’s Map. I wanted something new but oh well.

So this is one of the ones I was most excited for so I immediately put it on my warmer. At first it gave me what I was expecting very sweet first throws. Very very sweet I’m guessing that was the watermelon. The longer it burns tho the more it morphs into something else. I kind of feel it even leans a little gourmand. It got a hint of creaminess to it. I got the note that a lot of candles use for their coconut creaminess. The notes are fresh watermelon, pink hibiscus, with island blooms, and sparkling sugar crystals. I’m guessing what I’m smelling is the sugar crystals? It’s the star of the show with this candle as I was expecting more of the hibiscus and island blooms. I was expecting more of a floral but this one is interesting as it morphs into yet another gourmand type of scent ALMOST. the throw is pretty good I can smell it, it was able to be smelled in my living room with vaulted ceilings I’d give the throw a 7/10. Overall I am happy with this candle even tho it was not what I expected. Those who enjoy creamy sweetness in a candle will like this one.

So here is a just some of my haul (not pictured are Patchouli Leaves, Aloha Plumeria, Watermelon Hibiscus & Shoreline Woods. The Hello Kitty candles for the most part smell very good. Highly recommended. But Cinnamaroll is straight up foul. I gagged when I smelled that one. When I was young I was in the hospital with spinal meningitis & something in it reminded me of one of the medications I took while there. A memory I didn’t need unlocked. I think it must be the Mochi Dough. That was a scent I was curious about but now I know to avoid. I think the “Fresh” Mystery Candle is just a dupe of something BBW has done. I can’t put my finger on it since I hate Eucalyptus but I’m thinking it might be Eucalyptus Rain? Ugh is there anyway I can exchange for the Woodsy option? I’m going to be reviewing my haul so I can hopefully help others trying to decide like a bunch of you helped me. I have Watermelon Hibiscus going now.
