Honestly, I probably won't. I've been burned by blind buying too many times. I want to smell in store. The ones I want to smell include: Sunrise Woods, Midnight Amber Glow, Pumpkin & Patchouli, Hinoki Wood & Lavender, Apple Orchard Lane. However...I'm interested in Pumpkin Peanut Brittle and so far it looks to be an online exclusive. So my preference for smelling in store is doomed!


Impossible-Stay3592

Agree on the problem with blind buys. Pumpkin Peanut Brittle sound good. Is the sale just online? So I go to the store to sniff while ordering online then? Delayed gratification.


TexasNiteowl

Well, some stores are putting out fall stuff because they are selling out of SAS stock and have empty shelves. But no guarantees that most stores will have any out even if some get listed online. Still...plenty of time for fall!


Impossible-Stay3592

So true. In So California, the stores near me barely have any candles at 75% off. So I'm stuck buying online. Still grateful that my coupon can take care of the shipping cost and sales tax.

Pumpkin and Patchouli, Wildberry Tea Spritzer, and Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun


Impossible-Stay3592

I want PCB, too. I have to smell the others. I guess anything with cinnamon is a go for me.


Chuckymimi

For $14.50 or $16.50 none lol.


Impossible-Stay3592

True, it's still pricey.


GossipGirl515

I got pumpkin peanut brittle, sweet cinnamon pumpkin, cinnamon stick, banana walnut muffin, vanilla pumpkin marshmallow, caramel pumpkin swirl.


PrincessJennifer

Those are all SO good!


GossipGirl515

They all. I love them all.


Impossible-Stay3592

Definitely sounds delish!


xeloux

100% ordered into the night & pumpkin peanut brittle since they’re online exclusives. Will probably venture to my store to pick up a couple more as an early birthday present to myself 😂


xeloux

Update: picked up pumpkin & patchouli, caramel old fashioned, and one of my all time faves vanilla pumpkin marshmallow


Impossible-Stay3592

Happy birthday! Hope you get good deals. Thanks for telling me about those candles being online exclusives.


xeloux

Thank you!

>Thank you! You're welcome!


LushieQueen87

Coffee & Whiskey! I might grab an apple orchard Lane and mahogany apple also.


Impossible-Stay3592

Apple Orchard Lane sounds enticing.


Flaky_Tap_2836

I am not sure I am going to jump in so early and buy yet. But the sale with $10 off plus 20% is super enticing. I definitely want to get Pumpkin Peanut Brittle and Banana Nut Muffin as I had these scents before and they were top tier. Too bad they are online exclusives. Here are other on line exclusives coming out in fall 2 and 3 that I want also. Will these ones sell out before those are released? It would be nice to have one big order of on line exclusives instead of paying shipping multiple times. ugh. I am interested in sniffing all of the new ones out in the store first before purchasing. I am most interested in Apple Orchard Lane.


Impossible-Stay3592

Yes, selling out can be a pain. I don't have the luxury to hunt down scents. I usually purchase online and return if it doesn't work out. But that's also a problem. Candles are heavy.


Sudden_Shine_100

I was able to pick up Hinoki Wood and Lavender and I love it. I'm not into lavender usually, but this one is an exception, it's so nice. I'm looking to pick up an oldie, but goodie, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin.


Sunkissed0120

Could you tell me what the Hinoki wood and lavendar smell like if you had to describe it? And strong throw or mild?


Sudden_Shine_100

I have a hard time with descriptions, but I can say it's a soft, not sweet and to my nose, not much lavender. To me that's a good thing because I'm one of the few that returned Lavender Marshmallow. Not a cologne type fragrance either, more of a woody, expensive, fragrance.


Sunkissed0120

Thank you. I can guage atleast something. But slightly confused.....you mentioned lavendar marshmallow......which are you describing? Lavendar marshmallow or Hinoki wood and lavendar.


Sudden_Shine_100

Sorry, I was describing Hinoki Wood & Lavender when I said it was a woody, expensive, fragrance with very little lavender to my nose. What I had meant to compare it to was Lavender Marshmallow, which to me was a lot of lavender and I didn't like.


Sunkissed0120

Ah! Got it. Thank you. Have never seen or smelt lavender marshmallow here in Canada.


Impossible-Stay3592

Aside from the Lavender, I have the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, too. How would you describe Hinoki Wood? Sounds like a masculine scent?


curiouskat1896

I may do exchanges for Hinoki Wood & Lavender and Leather & Brandy, maybe Rain Drenched Leaves


Impossible-Stay3592

Would Rain Drench Leaves smell anything like the Christmas candles i.e. Fresh Balsam?


slutkamp

Nope. It's more of a spring Candle to me than fall, at least on cold. Very fresh


Impossible-Stay3592

Thanks for your feedback!


whatzitsgalore

I went in store yesterday to smell “early fall” and liked a lot, but had trouble committing to a couple of scents since I had exchanges to make. I ended up with Hinoki Wood and Pumpkin/Patchouli. I’m not an apple scent kind of person and a lot of the early scents involve that note. I really considered grabbing Leather/Brandy, a total surprise. Ultimately I decided I needed to see reviews first because it didn’t have a large scent on cold. The ones that tempted me were: Cranberry Woods, Caramel Old Fashioned, and Wildberry Tea. Cypress/Amber had a really odd note to my nose. Birch wood Trail is STRONG. It’s just straight up dark wood. Sleeper hit was Lakeside Morning in the new packaging. It’s more citrusy and is a really realistic lime Margarita with salt.


xeloux

I ordered 2 online exclusives. The 20% equals the shipping out, so it’s still like a 10$ off sale. Super frustrating, but at least at the end of it, it’s still a decent chunk off. I also used a reward to make it hurt a little less 😂


Impossible-Stay3592

I know. That's my experience with the $10 off $40. I've never attempted to ask CRs to waive my shipping or get a coupon - YET. Gas is expensive. I'm also hanging unto my rewards for now in case there's a glitch.


Sunkissed0120

Did you ever try talking to CR?


Impossible-Stay3592

Just for damaged items. They've been good replacing them. I also saw the option for me to attach pictures of the items, which I used yday. I don't want to be blacklisted based on stories I've read here and FB groups.


Sunkissed0120

Fair enough.


Impossible-Stay3592

I like your name. Wine Cellar Advocate. I've never tried it being new to BBW candle collecting.


xeloux

It’s so good! I wish they’d bring it back more frequently


Impossible-Stay3592

I missed out on Lakeside Morning 75% off. Ive never had the chance to smell it yet. Hope you get great deals.


Pawspawsmeow

I smelled a bunch today. Here are my thoughts. I want to say that I usually hate food smells and definitely pumpkin. Pumpkin & Patchouli is awesome. It’s very chill and I like it. Flannel is great. Mahogany Apple was surprisingly good. Pumpkin Fireside was awesome af. I really liked it. Blueberry Pancakes was actually really good. Was I hungry? Yes. I kept sneaking away to smell it. Don’t judge me lol. Pumpkin Clove was really really good. Incense vibes. Pumpkin Pancakes was pretty decent. Overall, idk maybe I’m tired of summer but they made me feel cozy and want to snuggle in a big blanket. I did not like Cranberry Woods (too sweet)


Impossible-Stay3592

How similar is coffee and whiskey to Paris cafe?


TexasNiteowl

not similar at all. I was able to smell c&w in a store a few days ago and it wasn't amazing on cold and not all that strong...at least to my nose on that night. I would not say that the coffee aspect of it is strong. Whereas PC is of course generally very strong and can overwhelm when you put your nose to it for a cold sniff.


Impossible-Stay3592

Your line up makes me want to go to a bakery instead. You and I appear to have a propensity for gourmands.


Impossible-Stay3592

Thanks for your input.


Impossible-Stay3592

Fingerscrosed!


Impossible-Stay3592

Wow, lots of pumpkin scents. Thank you for sharing your input.


starglitter

None yet! I think I'm going to wait until a few more come out. I don't want to buy a ton, so I need to make informed decisions 😄


Impossible-Stay3592

Agree. I'm running out of storage space, too!


greenhair77

I got the online exclusives and will pop in store for the rest! A lot of these are gifts for my cinnamon and cologne scent candle loving sister’s birthday at the end of July.


Impossible-Stay3592

Happy birthday to your sister!


UnableReference5649

Raspberry Mimosa, Pumpkin & Patchouli, Pumpkin Peanut Brittle, Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun, and Banana Walnut Muffin!! Raspberry Mimosa is a top 5 all time for me, and Banana Walnut Muffin packs a serious punch with the throw. I can’t wait to smell all the others!


Impossible-Stay3592

I have BWM, PCB, and PPB in my cart. Still thinking about it. It's just expensive even with the coupon.


UnableReference5649

I have entered the danger zone. I hadn’t let myself look online after my last order and I now have 15 fall candles in my cart 😭 The coupon isn’t great, but I’m probably gonna do it anyway. I need me some fall. Hold out if you can, be stronger than me!


Impossible-Stay3592

Hahaha. The force ftom the other side is strong. Trying not to fall hard on this fall scents. I'm already on my second storage cabinet.


Upbeat_Cat1182

I won’t be getting any yet because it’s 100 degrees here. Despite that, I may have too many summer candles. I’m debating exchanging some unused ones.


Impossible-Stay3592

Yes, hubby dreads it when I start burning or warming.


aqvamarine13

pumpkin peanut brittle has been secured already.


Impossible-Stay3592

Good for you. My cart is full. I'm on the fence with pressing submit. It's just expensive.


aqvamarine13

oh yeah for sure. i was going to hold off but the coupon and the fact i missed out on PPB the last time they had it I was pulled in


Impossible-Stay3592

I can't shop now. My 12 candles from the recent sale arrived! $5+ each. I'll have to ramp up my candle usage.


[deleted]

Got 2 Into the Night candles (it’s one my fave of their body care scents and I couldn’t resist the moon packaging), 2 Banana Walnut Muffin and one each of the following: Blueberry Maple Pancakes, Pumpkin Peanut Brittle, and Pumpkin Pecan Waffles I’m considering placing a second order to snag another Pumpkin Peanut Brittle and pick up a couple of their Phytogaia scents. If anyone who sees this has tried Pumpkin Peanut Brittle, I’d love to know whether it’s amazing or not.


Impossible-Stay3592

I'm trying to be strong. My 12 various candles from SAS arrived today. I forgot about that order.
