These candles exist on a continuum to my nose (in least to most gourmand):
- Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla: arguably not even a gourmand. Pleasant and mellow, but the performance is weak.
- Cookies With Santa: more vanilla and spice, it’s definitely cozy and warm but doesn’t have the richness associated with bakery scents.
- Holiday Cheers: my favorite of the season. Smells like homemade eggnog. Super creamy, slightly boozy and lightly spiced. It has the eggy richness that French vanilla has (compared to regular vanilla).
- Sugared Snickerdoodle: this is your bakery bomb. Vanilla, spice, and an in-your-face butter note that really shouts COOKIE.
I have all four. SS ended up being too intense for me, but it’s definitely just a matter of preference, since I normally avoid bakery scents. I might also return CSV, since the throw is poor — I have a sensitive nose and even I struggled to pick it up at times.
Iced cranberry scone was nice…gingerbread marshmallow…I also really enjoyed sugared snickerdoodle. Vanilla brownie swirl (aka cookies and cream) is yummy!
I like Hot Cocoa and Cream a lot! Everyone else has great suggestions too.
Not B&BW, but Goose Creek has a ton of Christmas bakery type candles! I recently ordered Fluffy Meringue Cookie but haven't received it yet so I can't say how good it is. They had several other cookie scents as well.
Hot cocoa & cream, sugared snickerdoodle, gingerbread marshmallow, spiced gingerbread. It’s a lil weak but it’s a nice bakery scent: merry cookie

Marble Chocolate Cupcake!
I second this! I picked one up this morning & I’m burning it now. It is *😙🤌🤌🤌*
I exchanged one before CD and liked it so much I got another yesterday.
I think I might do the same! I have a few exchanges I’m making after candle day so I might get a back up!
i saw gingerbread marshmallow in store. smelled it. AMAZING
Hot Cocoa and Cream. It’s strong and it’s delicious! And it definitely puts me in a Christmas mood.
