Ok hear me out

I feel like it would have been super cool to produce all 3 of the Star Wars candles with special lids, and then also have the center of this wallflower plugin be removable (or sell just the bases), so your candle lids could click in and out and be interchangeable, or you could buy 3 bases and display your lids lit up. I couldn't justify the price of the Ice Planet candle for the lid because it just sits there, but I would totally have jumped on all 3 candles and 3 bases if I coulf have used the lids as lighted wallflower plug-ins.

The scent notes are no help.

For the love of God, can we bring Sunny Coconut and Clothesline Breeze to the body care department please 😩 anyone know of a close fragrance dupe for either of those? Trying to find a "freshly washed denim" accord is...challenging.

Also, a bonus for being STILL VERY HRRMPH that like 9 of 50000 stores got the neutrals collection 😒

It finally happened to meeee

Secondhand scored a bunch of bangers including the queen, WVW with the snake lid!! The seller was so kind and sweet as well.

Been looking since February for just the right summer scent to take on more upscale events. Coconut is beautiful, and I love At the Beach, but it didn't feel very elevated or complex.

This beauty is the hands down winner, a scent I definitely did not know I was searching for. You can just literally smell the sun-soaked woods and crashing tides. The vanilla is sweet and delightful, even the gourmand girlies will be loving this one. It's not a dessert, but it is sweet and yummy in a non-edible kind of way. And more so than any other fragrance I've gotten from B&BW since Vacation Vibe in i think it was 2023 pr 2022, this.scent. PROJECTS!!!!! YOU CAN SMELL IT WITHOUT HUGGING ME!! I CAN SMELL IT WITHOUT PRESSING MY ARM TO MY FACE, without taking a drag of FFM like Cruella DeVille sucking on cigarettes. I sprized a spray on a blotter like 2 hours ago and barely got my skin, yet I can still smell it on me without even trying, quite a bit later.

I'm planning on stocking up on this one because it is a 15/10 and I don't usually say this, but it might not actually make it to SAS. It will be popular with pretty much everyone - gourmands, freshies, fruitles and atmospherics will all enjoy her.

I regret getting the body wash at 8 oz though (shown next to 10oz LTY to show size differencr). Skip that and send a message that $6 for 8 oz of body wash is a no. And $15.95 is just egregious!

ETA: someone pointed out that I was given the lotion, not body wash, and I didn't even notice. Heading back to go swap it out! TY to those who pointed it out even tho I'm super embarrassed I didn't realize 🤣🫣

I love candles but these two life changers, oh my goodness. "Vanilla drift" reminds me a lot of Bath & Body Works pistachio milk & honey; and "Linen & Amber" is a bit like Rapunzel from the Disney Princess line. Those are two of my favorites, but the Aldi scents are soooo much better, and the candles seem like a better wax blend, more appropriate wick size and better overall quality with a slower burn. I got over 80 hours out of that first Vanilla Drift candle and never once had to trim the wicks, plus the throw is excellent.

Aldi: please consider maybe expanding these two scents into perfume, lotion, and body wash!! I wish these weren't already wiped out at every store in my area because I'd be hunting them ALL down.
