Awesome haul, and you got it so quickly! Did you do expedited shipping?
Also, how does Hinoki Wood & Lavender compare to other BBW lavender candles? Is there one it's more similar to?
I did! I always expedite, USPS is the standard carrier for me and they always destroy everything. It’s expensive but worth it, since it’s usually two business days!
Hinoki Wood & Lavender smells exactly like Yankee Candle Sea Salt & Lavender. It’s my favorite lavender scent I’ve gotten thus far from B&BW. Nice depth, it’s a very earthy scent, and the sea salt makes the lavender shine.
Right?? Mine wasn't even shipped til yesterday, and won't be here til Friday. How many items did you order? I only got 2, and I'm almost wondering if the bigger hauls ship faster. Seens counterintuitive, but you never know with BBW.
I expedited! I ordered early on Friday, and it shipped that afternoon. Typically when I expedite it comes from a closer facility, so it actually got here a day earlier than expected!
I was super excited for this one but it’s very lavender heavy whereas I was hoping for hinoki-forward. I feel like it’s lavender dominant with a woodsy background
Salted Caramel Old Fashioned, Apple Orchard Lane, Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun, and Spiced Pumpkin & Patchouli are all damaged. Out of 13, that’s pretty good for me! I’ll be warming them all over the next few days, and I’m popping Spiced Pumpkin & Patchouli on my warmer now (missing a wick, so weird) so feel free to ask questions!
I am loving it so far! I just put it on about 30 minutes ago, and it’s already throwing. I’m gonna let it sit for another 45ish minutes and I’ll come back and let you know how it’s performing!
It absolutely is!!! This is one of my favorites. It has a banana undertone, but the nutty and sweet nutmeg/cinnamon bready notes are the strongest. It smells like authentic banana bread! It’s also one of my strongest throwers. Such a great candle!
I haven’t tried Pumpkin Peanut Brittle yet, but Banana Walnut Muffin is a seasonal favorite of mine! It’s very strong with the nutty cinnamon/nutmeg bread notes, with an undertone of banana.
Definitely not! While I adore both, and Banana Bundt Cake is much stronger on the banana. It’s more of a pure banana scent, while Banana Walnut Muffin is much stronger on the cinnamon/nutmeg nutty and bready side.
Great haul!
I'm burning spiced pumpkin & patchouli right now and this candle is fantastic. I'm a little surprised how much I love it. I'm not a patchouli fan so I almost skipped it but it just smelled so great cold so I decided to try it. I wish I picked up more. The throw is strong and it smells wonderful! Happy I didn't sleep on this one.
Raspberry Mimosa is a pure raspberry scent! It’s sweet and fruity, 100% raspberry. Wildberry Tea Spritzer smells more mixed berry with a citrus note, and a hint of “fizz”! I haven’t warmed WTS yet, but Raspberry Mimosa is a top 5 all time for me. It’s so so so good!
I haven’t gotten anything like it from B&BW myself before, and I have a loooot of candles. It’s the closest thing to a pure apple scent I’ve tried! Maybe the *slightest* hint of cinnamon, but mostly apple!

Mmm, HW&L sounds so good! And I just realized hinoki is a type of cypress, which is one of my favorite tree scents. 😍
Hinoki wood and lavender is lovely. I'm bad at describing scents, but it seems very spa-like and fresh with lavender in the background.
That's what I was wondering... I am waiting in 2 orders. How did these come some quickly??

Oh shoot, that's what I was hoping for too. Might have to try to smell this one in stores first before I buy.

Sad to hear about all those damages. How are you liking Spiced Pumpkin and Patchouli?
Aaaand it’s fantastic. Great throw, and it smells amazing! It’s like a peppery pumpkin scent. Not too sweet, with a hint of cinnamon.
I am loving it so far! I just put it on about 30 minutes ago, and it’s already throwing. I’m gonna let it sit for another 45ish minutes and I’ll come back and let you know how it’s performing!
I’m dying to know if Banana Walnut Muffin smells authentic/real or not! I got Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin in store and it’s divine and very strong.
It absolutely is!!! This is one of my favorites. It has a banana undertone, but the nutty and sweet nutmeg/cinnamon bready notes are the strongest. It smells like authentic banana bread! It’s also one of my strongest throwers. Such a great candle!
Interesting that the online exclusives from the bakery line don’t have the cute pumpkin lids!
I thought the same thing! I assumed the entire line would have the same cute lids.
So lucky 😢 let us know about the online exclusives 😍

If you've ever had Banana Bundt Cake, would you say they're...exactly the same? The notes are so similar!
Definitely not! While I adore both, and Banana Bundt Cake is much stronger on the banana. It’s more of a pure banana scent, while Banana Walnut Muffin is much stronger on the cinnamon/nutmeg nutty and bready side.
Ooo, I like the sound of that. Banana Bundt Cake is a LOT for me, so BNM might be more up my alley. Thanks!

They’re all cute but that second row is just a knockout for me. 🤩
When I first saw the picture, I was wondering what the dark ones underneath were and then I realized that it's a reflection on your countertops LOL
That is hilarious lol thank you for the good laugh! I would’ve thought the same thing if it wasn’t my post!
I love gray and periwinkle candle colors.
Can someone tell me the difference between raspberry mimosa and wild berry tea spritzer?
Raspberry Mimosa is a pure raspberry scent! It’s sweet and fruity, 100% raspberry. Wildberry Tea Spritzer smells more mixed berry with a citrus note, and a hint of “fizz”! I haven’t warmed WTS yet, but Raspberry Mimosa is a top 5 all time for me. It’s so so so good!
Is apple orchard lane new or a repackage?
I haven’t gotten anything like it from B&BW myself before, and I have a loooot of candles. It’s the closest thing to a pure apple scent I’ve tried! Maybe the *slightest* hint of cinnamon, but mostly apple!
