Slatkin & Co. Candle in Autumn

I recently made a trip to Bath & Body Works. I had not been in to purchase candles but being a candle lover I couldn't resist these tiny little 1.6oz Slatkin & Co candle samples they were selling 3 for $5. Most were already gone but I found a couple that I thought smelt great and were worth trying. I was tempted to purchase a larger candle but was put off by the price and since I had never actually purchased a Slatkin & Co I thought the samples would be best. I have found a new favorite scent in their Autumn scent. It smells amazing. Exactly like Autumn smells in my mind, and Autumn/Fall happens to be my favorite time of year! I had this little candle lit in my room and you could smell it in my living room. That being said I wouldn't say that its a strong scent. It's a light scent, but the scent throw in amazing. The description on the sample reads, "A crisp fall fragrance that blends dark pomegranate with red delicious apple and juicy fig, with notes of fir balsam and rich cedarwood." I don't know that I'll buy this in full size as I have candles lit constantly and I felt that it burnt down a little faster than I'd like as well as being on the pricier side for the rate that I go through candles.  I found this candle to be great for the average candle user. They retail for $19.50 for 14.5oz.  So, I love the scent but my hunt for a candle that smells amazing, has a long burn time and a affordable price continues......

  5. Jenn,
    This candle really does smell amazing. If I didn't burn through them so fast this would probably be my new favorite. Thanks for stopping by. I'm now following you as well. :)

  8. Just an FYI, they often sell the large ones at 2 for $20. That is when I stock up. I would say these candles are strong. I burn them in my kitchen and they can be smelled all over my house even at the top of my stairs which is a little far from the kitchen. I love the cabin scented one as well!!
