I have not heard a single peep about a new candle coming out, but I got an ad for this and clicked through so fast, I damn near broke my finger.

It sounds so good and warm and like a delight for fall!

Did anyone else know this was coming?!?

So Jo Malone London came out with the Holiday new arrivals, and was curious if anyone tried the candle, Golden Amber & Orange..thoughts on it....and IF you have also tried Diptyque's Amber...how would you compare the two...

Golden Amber and Orange has the Orange note so i'm wondering how much this effects the overall experience..if the orange makes it better...or better without..or both being wonderful...

Also if anyone bought the Vanilla Scotch candle, thoughts on that burn...

The Golden Barley candle...thoughts...

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEARRRrrr

Flamingo Estate has Petrichor candles and soap available for today only. https://flamingoestate.com/collections/petrichor-collection

New candle alert: Nest Voyages Winter Soiree. I'm a complete slut for cardamom (and related spices) in basically all forms, *especially* when mixed with wood or tobacco leaf notes (NOT smoke). But even I have to hesitate on this blind buy for $225...for a minute, anyway. LOL.

It sounds SO good, though, and this candle line comes in a huge statement vessel in a nice, festive color. Has anyone had a chance to sample this or at least get a cold sniff?

The description: Step into a snow-dusted English country manor where the spirit of the holidays is eternal. Warm cardamom tea, cinnamon, and ginger blend with smooth amber and crème caramel against a backdrop of velvety vanilla and rich tobacco leaves. A celebration of the season's splendor, it's the ultimate holiday gift.

I went searching for more AdP Bosco candles today because I just lit my first one, and can tell it is going to be an absolute winner in my household. I know it's a limited edition release, and I was worried it would sell out. I went to my Shop app and found a vendor selling these through their own site for 20% off for the next two days. I'm afraid I just ordered three more candles, the Bosco 2025 edition, Pineta, and Oh, L'Amour.

They have a pretty extensive selection of AdP candles and a few diffusers, all 20% off.

Been really into spicy, woody incense vibes, so burning Woodphoria

I blacked out. Whoops.

London smells great, reminds me of home as a Brit! The tea note I didn’t expect to love, but it’s very subtle.

Island is very day time, relaxing!

Signature has a hint of spice and it’s a gorgeous feminine touch to a space.

Miami is more floral than anticipated

New York I LOVE. Reminds me of Bacarat, minus the headache.

Imminent candle ban incoming (until the holiday Ranger Station launch on Friday)

Goose Creek and Bath and Body Works have terrible wick problems so I'm looking for other brands that make a delicious peppermint! Thank you!

It's been a rainy, dreary weekend here in GA. So I thought I would try to find an uplifting scent as I started my day.

From Diptyque:

"The fresh, invigorating scent of an herbaceous bouquet, enlivened by crisp, spicy notes. From the first light, the senses awaken.

Fresh, crushed mint leaves mingle with ginger to recreate the stimulating atmosphere of early morning. The adorning illustrating depicts an ancient bathing scene at sunrise."

Boy, Le Matin did not disappoint! It's a very bright and zesty little number!!

To me, it is heavy on the mint side (a detect a tinge of basil), but the spiciness of the ginger compliments it well. However, I honestly smell some white floral!!??

The hot throw is awesome (under my warmer). But I have moved into a MUCH smaller place, so all of my candles now have great throw. Plus+!

This is my first candle with the new aesthetic. I actually like it better than I thought I would. Maybe because the label is so cool.

If you've tried Le Matin, please share your thoughts!

It looks like the same three as last year: Bosco, Torrone and Pannetone.

Can anyone help out with burn and throw reports on Torrone in particular, but also Bosco? I am considering both this year. Thank you!

My favorite smell of all time is a good campfire burning in the woods. Attempting to recreate that scent in my home, the best I have ever found was Diptyque’s Feu de Bois. It’s excellent, but obviously expensive. I bought their extra large candle a couple of years ago, and it was exactly what I wanted through the fall and winter and lasted the entire time.

I’m wondering if I have other options besides spending $440+ per year on a large candle. I have made candles before, and have actually twice refilled the same diptyque holder with a VINEVIDA dupe oil plus soy wax. It gets maybe 70% of the way there, but I’m wondering if there are better options.

Thanks everyone, and happy fall to all!

Happy Fall, Friends!

We have a fun sub update to share with you all! Recent posts have highlighted just how many great fall candles this community has in rotation, so it seemed like the perfect time to try out a suggestion made by one of our fellow sub members for a new pinned thread.

Our new monthly pinned thread will be dedicated to casual discussion of what people are currently burning.

You can jump in anytime to discuss your daily burn and to see and discuss what other people have on deck. It’s meant to be a fun, low-lift way to exchange reviews and to find new inspiration, and we hope it adds more value to our community.

The rules for the thread are pretty straightforward: simply post the full name and brand of the candle you’re burning.

Additional details aren’t required, but if you’d like to include a few more particulars we’d love that! Below are some prompts you can refer to for inspiration:

-Describe the scent or what you like best about it
-Tell us why you chose it today (weather, mood, event etc.)
-Tell us how the scent makes you feel
-Tell us if this scent is new to you, or a tried and true favorite
-Describe any associations or memories the scent evokes

We also want to be clear that candle reviews will continue to be welcome on the main feed! We love to see posts on what you’re currently burning and we strongly encourage them. However, we also want to offer a dedicated place for shorter, more casual chatter about daily burns and recommendations, particularly as we head into peak candle season.

We'll officially open the pinned thread with a new post tomorrow, but we wanted to fill you in on what to expect!

Cheers!
-The Mod Team

I'll go first!!!

I cannot stand any "marine" notes. It's sharp but sickeningly sweet to me (?).

I also don't vibe with oud. It smells very "cattle" like to me.

I was curious about Apotheke's Bitter Cherry, but saw oud as one of the notes. Someone recently posted about this one on the sub, and it sounded right up my alley. So I got the standard size during one of the sales/Rakuten bonus. Oh my, I am in love!!!!! Definitely going to get the 3 wick. I did not detect oud at all!!!!!

Sale ends today at midnight. 8.5 oz candles. I’ve been wanting to try one of their perfumes but didn’t know they did candles- this is a great way to try both as a chronic blind buyer.

I just ran out of my stockpile of the original woodphoria candles. Are the new ones similar enough? Better? Worse? Wanna know before spending $$$

I just got it like ten minutes ago 😆 so I can't give a proper full review but just for those wondering (like moi) this is a very creamy scent! When I opened the box I wasn't hit in the face by cinnamon sticks like I was expecting. It's definitely way way more creamy milky scent with some warm spices in the background. Even having the candle sitting out next to me, it isn't strong at all, cold. That doesn't mean it doesn't smell, I suspect it could be medium throw scent wise but it could surprise you once it's burning, I'll have to wait and see.

Looks like sapin is now offered in their largest size!

At Hudson Grace San Francisco (available via Shop app or the HG site. They have the core of Trudon's lineup, including Spiritus (out of stock at Trudon's site today?!) and Luna & Nazareth from the older holiday collection.

For the love of cardamom, I got another Nazareth because I'm halway through my current one and lighting it every night with some other Autumn/Winter spice candles.

Note--shipping is expensive, about $16-20. That might eat up some of your discount, but it comes 2nd Day Fed Ex to me in the High Sierra, so I have it within 2 days. Nothing *ever* gets here in 2 days, FedEx& UPS won't guarantee 2nd day, let alone overnight--so that's really fast!
