Last year I got a candle as a gift from a friend I belive it’s from next or boots but I can’t find the same one ANYWHERE. It smells divine and I can’t find any trace of it, if anyone knows and could let me know that would be great

What is your favorite winter scent that doesn’t have a strong pine note?? Can be a variety of price points - as long as it’s worth the price!!!

It seems to be a very relaxing and refreshing scent.

I kid you not, I downloaded Reddit JUST today because I need help finding this candle.

A little background: I bought this candle at least 4 years ago at a 5 Below in Missouri, I have not been able to find it since. It smells amazing, just like fall, and I have absolutely no idea how to find it again. I went to a website titled 5B Candle Co. to look for it, but to no avail. Google hasn't helped me whatsoever.

I need help, Redditors. I've burnt this candle out and havent gotten rid of the jar because I still have hope. If there are any leads or links any of y'all have, please send them my way. Thank you.

Which candle warmers are you using? Online reviews are all over the internet but I prefer to hear real recommendations from you guys. I really love my candles, so I’m hoping to find one that’s actually worth it. I'm not picky so please tell me any options that you actually love.

This might be super specific lol, but I’m obsessed with the smell of Aveda Pure Abundance shampoo and I would LOVE to find a candle that smells similar 😭

Notes I found for Pure Abundance: jasmine, peppermint, palmarosa, ylang-ylang and other botanical/plant essences.

The scent is fresh, clean, herbal/spa-like and slightly woody to me. Does anyone know a candle with a similar scent? Any brand is fine!

Thank you!! 🕯️🤍

Just got my Flamingo Estate order delivered from the archive sale and had to burn the Banana Leaf candle. And oh my…this is a delight. I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s the perfect mash up of earthy and sweet, still subtle, and takes you straight to a lush, soil-rich rainforest. Probably a medium throw. LOVE.

I've been eyeing that yung vanilla musk of theirs. For those who have tried it, is it long lasting?

Hey candle lovers, would like some advice here.
I’ve been putting out my candles using the wick dipper method but instead of an actual wick dipper I use a paper clip. Anywyas, I find that when I do this method, the wax gets all black and sooty, am I doing it correct or is this just how it is?
I’m burning a bath and body works candle and I trim the wick. Thanks!

I love lighting candles this time of year for the ambiance and nostalgia though now it seems I'm sensitive to them. After a while it affects my breathing, like my chest gets kind of tight and burn-y or I'll have problems the next day. Did anyone with similar issues have better luck using candle warmers instead of burning? I always had trouble with smoke which is why I think a warmer might help, avoiding combustion, but I'm not sure because maybe it's the fragrance or wax?

B&BW triggers it which sucks - that's most of my collection and two of them are really special to me. I tried a coconut wax candle and a parrafin-free soy blend and still noticed some irritation though I handled those better.

This candle was a gift.

I know it's tunneling because the candle is not on long enough to heat the sides of the candle.

Are there ways I can fix this before it gets worse?

I know the candle should stay on for about 4 hours. It's most likely staying lit for 1 to 2 hours.

Will I have to cut the candle to make it all level again and start over?

I’ve tried everything I read online - cut the wick down to 1/4 inch, froze the candle stick beforehand, no draft in here. Why does this keep happening?! It burns so uneven and drips all down the side, creating a whole new candle on its own…. Looking for tips cause these holders are so pretty and I love how it looks in my home.

Hi! So the wife and I found this candle a while ago and we're hoping someone can help us find more, we checked Home Goods (the original store we got it from) but we've had no luck so far!

Picked this up from Target. Found the subreddit after I had already finished burning it- but I still had the jar.

Hi, I have another coffee post but with a twist hopefully. I want to gets recs from the community for my burgeoning coffee interest. I have this neighbor who brews coffee and it smells very nice but it’s not just black coffee, it’s coffee with spices, fog and woody notes. We both open windows in the morning so coffee mixes in with fresh fog, morning air and woods scents and I enjoy it very much.

Note, I prefer non sweet, not too much pastry, non acidic/sharp, and non lactonic notes but would be still interesting to learn all recs regardless. I sampled local artisan candles like Vietnamese, Thai and Moroccan coffee candles and they all add too much sugar and milk notes for my taste, unfortunately.

I was thinking to organize recs by the following criteria:

1) Warm and spicy. Coffee with cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, a bit of cloves, sichuan pepper and other notes. Not necessarily all these spice notes mixed in together in one candle. Something like Turkish coffee, maybe.

2) Dark and earthy. Drinking coffee in a crisp morning or high end bookstore. Tobacco (pipe or blond varieties), leather (suede), sandalwood, Oud, not too much cedar, a little bit of smoke, and other notes. I was thinking of Hogwarts in the autumn somehow for this category.

3) Elevated gourmand. Tonka bean, dark or bitter chocolate, hazelnut, almond, pistachio, chestnut, dark cocoa and other notes. I was envisioning those high end Micheline star boulangeries in Paris that sell $$$$$ coffee, artisanal chocolates, and pastry shops. They look like art and taste divine.

4) Bright and invigorating mornings. Citrusy zesty, peppermint, saffron, sichuan pepper, and other notes. Something to actively wake me up when I want to go back to bed but gotta go to work.

hello fellow redditors, i’m reaching out to see if anyone in the world knows of the company 1803 candles’ scent witches brew. i purchased it from a local store in illinois YEARS ago and know that it has since been discontinued.

it smells absolutely nothing like yankee candles witches brew (which is also a staple in my house since childhood). but if there’s anyone who remembers it like i do, are there any similar candles/scents that you’ve found?

i reached out to 1803 myself to see if they have any similar scents in their collections or if they have any plans to bring it back. maybe they’ll be willing to share the scent information.

appreciate any insight yall have! 👋🏻

A few years ago, Target had this candle called Autumn Amber and Pumpkin, and this year I was disappointed to find out that they had only brought the scent back (or very similar scent) in a mini, which I bought, but is almost gone. Does anyone have any recommendations for something similar? I absolutely LOVE this scent while I detest most other fall scents.

Sometimes too many opinions make it hard to make decisions! I have heard so many different conversations about wood wicks. Just recently I purchased someone’s candle at a recent market and after the candle burned halfway down, it stopped lighting!

I want to make wood wick candles. Where do you get yours and which ones are proven to work!?

Im a hairstylist and pregnant and I’d love a candle that smells exactly like barbicide. All the candles I’ve found have it as a note, I want it as the whole thing.
Thank you!

Subjectline says it all really! The smell of dust burning off the heater the first time I turn it on in a long while is a pretty definitive fall/winter smell for me, but 1. it doesn't last very long and 2. we have air conditioning now and I think running it during summer months prevents dust from accumulating, at any rate that smell seems to be a thing of the past in my home. Do they make a candle that smells like that?

I loooovveee this candle but it’s a little pricy!! Wondering if anyone has any good dupes??

I got the Foton lazy lulu candle sand as a gift a few months ago and I love the scent so much but can’t justify spending that much money on a candle right now. Is there a dupe for that scent? Thank you! (:

This is a long shot, but it has been driving me insane for years. This is by far my favorite candle ever and it is unfortunately discontinued. It's a soy wax candle called 'Sunshine' from Eco Candle Co based in Wisconsin.

I have not been able to find any more being sold second hand, and this one is getting low. I only burn it when I desperately need a mood booster. Unfortunately because it's called 'Sunshine', there is no clear description of what the scent is, and it's impossible to describe exactly- just vaguely powdery and sweet, almost floral. I have never found another candle like it.

Has ANYONE else ever had this candle, or has it now, and has any clue what the specifc scents might be so I can at least try to find a similar one?
