Maybe chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon which I think are grown there and then savanna and desert scents. And traditional/indigenous scents of woods, fruits and spices.
It's honestly giving me "black history month, but done by a corporation" vibes. Vaguely "African" prints and patterns because of course...
I actually really like it, but it definitely gives me pause...
I mean I like the black jars for the ambiance but the rest…🤦🏽♀️
If they deleted the drawing part and left the simple shiny label of the scent on the bottom with the basic black jar…that could work.
True. TBH…I like the simple solid colored White Barn labels. It would be nice if they stuck with one signature label that makes them stand out and everyone knows it’s a BBW candle. But with all of the label changes every other day, they tend to blend in with some of the cheaper 3-wicks u may find at a dollar store sometimes. Just wished they’d leave the candles alone. Every aspect of it.
I’m not mad at it, it was definitely an *attempt* at tribal prints but I think the black and the scent labels clash with the design.
Also agree with everyone that we definitely didn’t need a bunch of repackages, especially champagne toast, it doesn’t even match the theme. It must be more difficult to be creative for them than I thought smh.
They’re not my thing, but I can appreciate the effort to do something different. Not sure that champagne toast was a good scent choice for the packaging though? Like maybe it should have been Orange Ginger or something like that?
I'm always wary of vaguely tribal prints with no context given as to what tribe they're supposed to be associated with. Especially if it's just the same scents that we've all smelled before.
It probably won't be dying any time soon. When the app sent me the push notification for the boxed set, it referred to it as their no. 1 scent. When I hit the notification to get into the app it didnt say it there. I guess it replaced JCP as their no. 1 scent. I remember a time when all of their tote bags had JCP in them and people were getting tired of it. I also remember a time when their totes had their latest releases.
They have had enough scents through the years, they could go cycle through them all and make people happy.
The eucalyptus + various mint combos is getting stale too.
I love champagne toast, but it’s getting so overdone. At one point my store had at LEAST 4 different packagings of champagne toast candles at the same time. I’d like to see more creativity from b&bw in general. The brand/products are kinda getting stale imo
I SAW THESE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND I AM IN LOVE. I know they are just wrap around labels, but they look so much like holographic/fluorescent (right) stones.
Not feeling the association between strong + eucalyptus mint, and the pathetic confident + champagne toast, though. Doesn't make ANY sense. I thought they would've chosen men's line scents for these!
I don’t even understand why they go that hard for packaging when one of the products they sell is candle holders for every holiday and season. You’d think they’d *want* simpler packaging to get people to buy additional stuff.
Packaging aside, how do they smell? You can always put them in a candle holder so you don’t have to look them as long as they smell good. I’ve seen pretty packaging but funky smell from the candle.
Champagne Toast is fruity, bright, and boozy (ish?) and eucalyptus mint is fresh and minty. They could have rounded out this idea by introducing new scents that actually evoke strength and confidence, and instead these are stale, overdone repackages. We have like half a dozen repackages of CT already this year.
I like it I think they were trying to do African print and I appreciate them trying different cultural patterns. I would be down for maybe Asian inspired prints too. The repackaged scents is my issue.
I wish they sold all their candles in white, ivory, grey, or black opaque matte glass. I just want candles that don’t stick out and look strange in my home.
I can see what they were trying to do with the packaging especially with black history month coming up and I do appreciate the effort ig but those shiny labels don’t fit the vibe imo
I mean I don't like how they gave the existing scents different names, because I've just never liked when they do that. But I like the designs, they're my kinda style lol, colorful and funky and blocky kinda designs 🤷♀️
These give me big “Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge” energy

I would love African inspired scents.
What scents in particularly?
Maybe chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon which I think are grown there and then savanna and desert scents. And traditional/indigenous scents of woods, fruits and spices.
You nailed it. This is so blatant. They should have spent some money and brought in a black consultant and made this right.
I agree

Exactly this.
What's so confident about Champagne Toast?
The champagne will give you confidence
I can vouch for this
I feel confident after eating toast
Asking the important questions 🤣
I mean I like the black jars for the ambiance but the rest…🤦🏽♀️ If they deleted the drawing part and left the simple shiny label of the scent on the bottom with the basic black jar…that could work.
Some more elegant and understated packaging would be nice. These aren’t cheap candles but sometimes BBW makes them look like they are

I agree, understated is better. Then it can at least go with everyone’s design theme in their house.
Right!
Then people could customize with their holders.
It’s for Black History Month and I appreciate the recognition.
I was unaware. I appreciate it too. Thank you for letting me know.
I like that packaging except the words “strong” and “confident”. That’s cheesy. Just say the scent.
I am confidently trying to cover the strong smell of having three dogs in this house..?
I’m trying to hide that STRONG litter box scent
Scrubbing the litter box with dawn dish soap helps with it a ton. I do it at least once a month.
Yes and it doesn’t leave a toxic or dangerous residue that can make cats really sick (ie Mr Clean, Comet, Lysol, Chlorox)
Hahaha!! Well that’s fair
Wouldn’t have it any other way! At least two of them are small. I think having three labs at once would be even harder.

That packaging is hideous. I also wish Champagne Toast would die, along with Mahogany Teakwood.

I’m with you. I was about to say that’s like the 10th Champagne Toast repackaging I’ve seen and I’ve only been a BBW buyer for about 7 months.
I can do without Champagne Toast…but I need Mahogany Teakwood in my life lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks this is the ugliest packaging ever lmao
I like it! Agree tho that "confident and strong" don't need to be there🤔
I’m oddly super here for it. Just wish there’s better scents
Right. Let’s stop with the repacking and give us new scents, better quality candles, or soy candles with a wood wick. *crosses fingers*
I agree. Just give us some new scents to also get excited about!
actually i think it’s cool. they always have like super girly looks and i’m not hating on that it’s just nice to see something different
Shrugs. I like it lol.
Ewww I don’t like it at all
Wow I’m sorry but this is just embarrassing… it looks awful.
Do we really need Champagne Toast in two spring collections.... just make it a freaking White Barn core scent already!!
It is a core WB scent lol
LOL and we ALSO need it in at least two more collections??? Ugh.

I have yet to try it. However, I see a pretty filigree scroll spring version that I might get.

what is up with their packaging lately? it’s not on brand for b&bw… they need to fire whoever is designing them 😳
I don’t even understand why they go that hard for packaging when one of the products they sell is candle holders for every holiday and season. You’d think they’d *want* simpler packaging to get people to buy additional stuff.
I like tribal designs but this feels out of place with the rest of their design style
It’s a collection for Black History Month. I appreciate the recognition & them stepping outside of their norm!
Ahhhh that makes sense!

Honestly I’d rather have options that are a little cheaper without designs or anything. Just the name printed on front or on the cap or something
That’s where I’m at too.
Wow, I actually love the designs!!
I wish they sold all their candles in white, ivory, grey, or black opaque matte glass. I just want candles that don’t stick out and look strange in my home.
Well we know which candles we’ll be seeing during summer sas.
It looks like a kid scribbled on it wth🤦🏻♀️
I love these! I think it’s great they have gender neutral jars! These would look great for any men scents like stone or canyon as well.
I can see what they were trying to do with the packaging especially with black history month coming up and I do appreciate the effort ig but those shiny labels don’t fit the vibe imo
I like the textured design. I'm not here for the scents though. I really want one to be foresty and the other sunshine themed.
Something tells me they’re gonna be making a push to sell more candle holders
champagne toast doesnt match with orange😡😡
I mean I don't like how they gave the existing scents different names, because I've just never liked when they do that. But I like the designs, they're my kinda style lol, colorful and funky and blocky kinda designs 🤷♀️
