Toasted Graham Latte

Toasted Graham Latte

This candle on cold reminds me very much of Pumpkin Donut Shop, while burning there are slight differences but they could be in the same family! This is a gourmand, bakery candle

Notes
•toasted graham cracker
•vanilla bean
•buttery toffee chip
•drop of espresso

Toasted graham cracker is the more dominate note, it’s warm, slightly sweet. It reminds me of when I open up a brand new pack of graham crackers. Vanilla bean is another strong note, adding a marshmallow creamy sweetness. Buttery toffee chip helps create a richer smell, adding a warm butteriness, which compliments the graham cracker well. The drop of espresso is very much a drop! It’s really light, you won’t recognize it without looking for it but there is an espresso scent on the end of the fragrance

Overall it makes sense why this is a “latte” candle, it’s a very light espresso fragrance, I imagine a latte with fluffy vanilla cold foam and crumbled graham crackers sprinkled on the top!

Throw is good, it’ll fill a small to medium room, you can still identify it in a large room too! She’s very sweet so after a little while I found myself wanting to give her a break

Whenever I want cozy, cafe/bakery energy in the house I like to burn her. If you’re looking for another coffee candle I wouldn’t recommend but if you’re looking for a light lingering espresso that gives you a cafe vibe you should grab her!☕️🤎

Blueberry Cornbread

This just came out with the “Preserves” collection and omg… do not hesitate to pick this up! If you love bakery gourmands this is right up your ally! She’s sweet and comforting

Notes
•skillet baked cornbread
•fresh blueberries
•drizzled honey

This is a blueberry candle! The fresh blueberries are juicy& sweet, like warm blueberries baked into a dessert. The skillet baked cornbread is what makes this candle so special- it really does smell like warm, cozy cornbread made with love. The drizzled honey adds an extra layer of sweetness, helping the skillet baked cornbread note smell richer, golden & freshly baked

Throw is so good, this candle will fill a larger room with ease. I love to burn this in the kitchen but the fragrance drifts into the whole house

This is one of those candles that are true to their name. It really does smell like blueberry cornbread, if you love blueberry scents and are a gourmand girly, do yourself a favor and grab her!🫐💙

Sun-Ripened Raspberry

I was so undecided to burn these Candle Day candles, but why buy if I won’t enjoy🤷🏻‍♀️ This is a fresh, clean and sweet candle

Notes
•sweet berries
•sheer sunlight
•sugar crystals

Sheer sunlight is one of those fragrance notes that aren’t easy to guess what it smells like, but I perceive this as sun dried linens, it’s the strongest note while burning. It’s airy, fresh and slightly like clean laundry. Sweet berries adds a soft fruity sweetness in the background and the sugar crystals ends us off on a subtle sweet note

Throw on this one is good, it’ll fill a small to medium room with no problems. I love to burn this in the living room while I clean or in a space while I’m doing laundry

If you enjoy clean, fresh &slightly fruity scents I’d say next time you see this, give it a try. I also want to mention if you’re buying this because you’re expecting raspberries- you’d be disappointed

Overall this smells like linens freshly washed in sweet detergent that’s been hung out to dry under the summer sun. I love this because as a kid my mom used to sun dry our clothes& this brings me back to those memories☀️🧺

Pink Apple Punch

I love a good apple scent and this one is for sure unique in my collection! This candle is bright, sweet/ feminine and fruity

No surprise the crisp apple fragrance note is the strongest coming through, but the notes blend very well, it’s an apple melon-y candle. Bright and slightly tart, think green apples. The crispiness of the apple gives it a freshness that prevents this from becoming too sweet. The melon sugar crystals add that sweetness that makes this candle so enjoyable and different than usual apple scents. It’s juicy, and the melon adds a smooth softness

Throw on this one is good! You can burn in a medium space and you’ll be able to still enjoy fragrance. I also love the purple wax!

If you’re looking for a sweet, fresh melon, crispy apple candle you’d enjoy her! Great for either spring, summertime, or somebody who enjoys apple or melon scents. This is the perfect amount of playful and sweet that doesn’t go into gourmand territory! 🍏🍈

Sugared Lemonade

Probably one of my favorite lemon scented candles in my collection! This is a bright, sweet citrus summer scent, perfect for the summertime

Notes
•fresh lemon juice
•sugar crystals
•crushed ice

The fresh lemon juice is ofc, the strongest fragrance note! It’s a sweet lemon, like a freshly squeezed lemon with the sugar crystals note adding a delicious sweetness. It’s not a bakery sweetness either, it’s more like a juicy sweetness. The crushed ice note leaves a refreshing feeling on the end of the scent, making this feel like a chilled lemonade drink

I wouldn’t say this is exactly like a lemonade though, but more like the idea of an ice cold glass of lemonade.. like you’re sitting outside with a sweating pitcher, full of ice and lemonade, lemon wedges floating inside of it. It’s a good sensory experience of fresh lemonade

I love to burn this while cleaning the house or whenever I want my home to smell fresh and summery! The throw is good, she will fill a small to medium room while burning. No wax or burnt wick smell!

If you’re looking for a sugary lemon candle without it slipping into a very tart lemon/citrus or candied lemon territory I think you’d enjoy this one! 🍋🧊

Strawberry Peach Sunset

For the peach lovers! This is a fruity, warm, sweet peach candle that feels like a summer afternoon

Notes
•peach nectar
•fresh strawberries
•vanilla sweet cream

The peach nectar fragrance note is the strongest one here, I will say though that this is not like other peach candles, in the sense that the peach is toned down by the fresh strawberries note in this candle. You don’t directly get the scent of strawberries but instead something lightly fruity/ berry-like, and sweet. It really helps brighten the candle. The vanilla sweet cream is also lighter but it rounds out the overall fragrance ending on a softer note, but you don’t get too much vanilla from this, it’s just barely there. I could say too it’s slightly creamy

Throw on her is light. Probably best to burn in a smaller room, on the candle warmer it’s a bit stronger so I’d say candle warmer preferred!

The name of this candle really suits the fragrance well, I was hoping for more of the strawberry to come through but it’s still a sweet summery candle that feels like a mellow afternoon. If you enjoy peach scents I think you’d like her!🍑🌅

Meet Me In Miami

This is one of those scents that are perfect for the summer and unique to the season! This is a warm, soft, and creamy tropical candle that really embodies the summer time. Think walking down a street in Miami on a hot summer afternoon, sun is beaming down and you’re drinking a sweet fruity drink

Notes
•breezy palm trees
•cabana coladas
•sun-tanned days

The breezy palm trees fragrance note brings hot air energy to the candle, it’s not breezy or airy but more heavy and hot, like how Florida air can be. The strongest note is cabana coladas- I wouldn’t say this is straight up a coconut or pineapple scent like how coladas are. It’s more creamy and tropical, it honestly comes off as bananas to me.. a sweet and soft scent not an artificial banana. Sun-tanned days note rounds off this candle, adding more warmth and softness, giving more depth than it being just a tropical fruity candle

The throw while burning was not good. It was so light I couldn’t even smell it, even in a small room. However, I threw it under my candle warmer and Wow!!! What a difference! Under a candle warmer she can fill a small to medium room!

Overall this is such a fun summer candle, the packaging is cute and adds to that warm summer vibe the fragrance gives off. For sure different than a fruity tropical drink candle, she’s got depth and captures this time of the year well. The unexpected banana fragrance just makes me appreciate her even more!🌴🍌

Bounty Hunter

I usually don’t enjoy very masculine scents but this is one I like to burn at nighttime when I’m watching tv or just relaxing. This is an earthy, woody and dark candle

Notes
•beskar sea salt
•solar woods
•protective patchouli

The beskar sea salt fragrance note gives this candle a slight “clean” smell. It’s almost like a salty breeze. Solar woods brings a lot of depth, adding a dry warmth that keeps this from being too cologne like, but instead a more polished/ sophisticated warm wood. There is a slight earthiness from the protective patchouli note, kind of grounding the overall candle. I think this is what also gives it a nighttime energy, but it’s not like a dirty incense that patchouli sometimes can be

I do get a smooth cologne scent from this candle, but it’s not in a bad way. It just smells like somebody wearing an expensive, darker fragrance at night. Like rugged but still polished. I’d say this might be best to burn during the fall/wintertime to really appreciate the energy this candle brings, but if you like darker fragrances you’d enjoy this year round!

Throw is phenomenal, this is a candle that will do well burning in a larger area, filling the room. No burnt wick or wax smell either!

I liked this one more than I thought I would when I first smelt it on cold, it brings a unique fragrance to my collection. I’m not a huge Star Wars fan either but I’m glad I was able to grab a sophisticated darker candle like this!🖤🪵
