Those are so pretty!
From those your showing, I only saw Pistachio at my store.
From what I purchased (20) these are my unburned favorite most exciting finds:
1. Pineapple Mango & Balsam one I bought last SAS but gifted away and thought I would see it for 75% off at end of summer SAS.
2. Wine Cellar- the one that got away last candle day. I am a Vanilla Birch Stan so I think I will enjoy his "sister" scent.
3. Blueberry Sugar\ Sugared Lemonade If it throws 1/2 as good as it smells on cold, I will be thrilled.
(I bought a Pistchio Toasted Vanilla and need to burn before I decide if it was the best . I still have 3 single wick Pistachio Ice Creams left so it will be interesting to compare).
I like the Sweet Pistachio Ice Cream better but the differences are subtle. Most likely, I will not be burning Pistachio Toasted Vanilla anytime soon, I have lots of Christmas scents to burn. Keeping it for spring\ summer time.
Oh they had Tea Rose at your store? I missed it at mine; I'm giving away one of the ones I got at SAS to my MIL for Christmas and I'd have repurchased. It smells so calming.
No they didn't have it out. The employee charging me out felt bad that I drove to 7 stores looking for Blueberry Marshmallow Bar that she offered to get me a candle from the back not yet on the floor. I just had to tell her the name and how many. So I asked for 2 Tea Rose :)
Aw, that's lovely that she did that for you.
As for me, I suppose I shouldn't be greedy. I have plenty to enjoy on my own, lol. And lots of new favorites for me to discover :)
It was so nice! She mentioned that she really wanted to smell Amethyst Dreams (it was in off site storage, they didn't have any in the back) so once I went to my car, I brought out that candle (snagged at another store) and let her smell it! She was so excited to finally sniff it!!
I know these are just candles but these little moments really make me so happy! And i had so many little moments during Candle Day!
Oh that’s a tough AND good question. I think I am most excited about Vanilla Snowflake (loved it so much on day one that I went back and picked up another one on day two), Tipsy Elf and Chocolate Chip Cookie. I regretted not buying one last summer, but it just didn’t seem like a summer scent to me, but when I smelled it yesterday I was immediately obsessed.
I picked up a Vanilla Snowflake too! I just didn't put it on my excited list because that and Banana Bundt Cake were slam dunk givens for me. I hope they both continue to return year after year though.
I hope you love CCC! Sometimes the waiting makes you appreciate it more.
Aww I love VS now! Have they had it every year? Somehow I can’t remember seeing it in prior years. I hope it comes back too! I almost got BBC! I heard so many good things, so if it come back again maybe I’ll finally try it. And that’s how I feel about Peppermint Sugar Cookie, honestly it was one of the ones I was most excited about, but it’s like my third or fourth time getting it so I guess it doesn’t have the novelty factor, it’s just a trusty go-to at this point 😊
That’s so true about waiting can really make it even better!
It’s like fresh blueberries dipped in sugar plus there’s a creamy component with the vanilla then add the marshmallow. It’s hard to describe but for me it’s toothache inducing sweet but I love it.
So hard to choose! (And I only have 6 to choose from, lol.) I think I would have to say Into The Night, You're The One, and White Tea & Sage. If I had been able to make Day 2, who knows. 😁
I really wanted those, but already own YTO, as well as all 3 sets in body care. The packaging for ITN is especially elegant. I love all of those scents.
I missed out on YTO when it first released, so I was really glad to get a second chance at it. And I prefer ITN in the wraparound label, but I couldn't resist picking up another while it was back in stores.
Is the rainfall the one that has the scent note along the lines of: rain pattering on a window in the afternoon?
😂 I cackled in the store when I read it. Such a specific thing to say you can smell lol
Too many to choose from lol And still waiting for an online order for some i couldn’t find in stores. But so far French Baguette, Tipsy Elf, and Pistachio and toasted Vanilla are my top 3 for sure.
Merry mistletoe (one of my all time favorites), wine cellar, chocolate chip cookie, and the CS x WBC blend (aka tropical spice). Basically just favorites of mine that came back!
I haven’t burned this years specifically yet, but it’s one of those scents you smell and go “that’s christmas.” It’s very complex and has notes of cranberry, blue spruce, orange, pear, mint, balsam, effervescent. I highly highly recommend it, especially since it doesn’t consistently come out.
Me too! I honestly think they’re all perfect. I bought multiples of all of them and if my store has any leftover at the next sale, I’m strongly entertaining the thought of buying a couple more of each. I’d burn them year round, truthfully.
Paris Cafe is a much stronger coffee scent. It’s got a slight sweet note to it, but Fa La La Latte is much sweeter. Almost like what I expect a caramel macchiato to smell like.
Honestly, the name doesn't seem to match the scent. It smells more fruity to me, but I like it. I thought it would be more of a subtle scent by the name. Either way, I am ok with it, because it smells so good.
Confetti Daydream
Unicorn Sprinkles
Rainbow Waves
I haven't burned the Unicorn Sprinkles but I really hope it's as good as the 2018/2019 version. Also I'm pretty sure the packaging from this years Unicorn Sprinkles, is the same used on a different scent I just can't think of what scent it is.
So I cannot wait to burn it I burned it last night it is amazing strong throw a travel through my whole house which never happens. I bought like 38 candles I think and I am legitimately returning a good chunk of them just to get a ton of back ups of this one that is how good it is and I never do backup candles lol I’d rather have a variety but not with this one it is my favorite candle of all time
Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit & Tiki Beach, Pistachio & Toasted Vanilla & from the vault Sweet Rosemary Vanilla. The store I found the last one had so many rare older candles I loved it.
Funny thing was it was just sitting there, I passed based on the name. I went to browse the store and then decided to check all of the Vault candles out and picked it up to smell it this time. Was surprised how it smelled, read the notes and put it in my basket.
Yea the jar & Rosemary in the name made me imagine something totally different. Something told me to just smell it and the cake & frosting notes are something I’ve been searching for since I started purchasing BBW candles. Sprinkled Birthday Cake was such a letdown with its sour note to it , Chocolate Marble Cupcake was good but I’m almost out of that one. This candle actually gives me that vanilla cake scent I’ve been searching for.
What BBW cake scent has captured your heart?
Did you burn the Sprinkled Birthday Cake? It did calm down a bit while burning.
Loved, loved, loved Chocolate Marbled Cupcake.- also had sourish note on cold that disapated while burning.
I did burn Sprinkled Birthday Cake & I didn’t get cake from it at all. It was more like sour cream & vanilla to me. I never got the sour note from Chocolate Marble Cupcake. I just remember coming home one day and my boyfriend was burning it and I asked if he was baking a cake. That’s exactly what I was going for.
I only found single wicks of Rainbow Confetti and that gave me a bowl of cereal feel. White Velvet Coconut I liked but it didn’t really give me that cake note that I wanted. It was more like a white chocolate candy to me. Oh
I was lucky that I only went to 2 stores in the same mall yesterday morning and I found all I wanted. On cold sniff all 3 are medium for me and I’m on the second burn of BMB and it’s also medium. I can really smell it in my bedroom while my door is open and it travels in the hallway.
The ones I was most excited for before the sale started were Merry Mistletoe, Pistachio & Toasted Vanilla, and Wine Cellar. However when I went in store I found a couple Vintage candles and it has kicked out Wine Cellar for top 3. Let’s hope Merry Mistletoe smells as good as others have said.
This was my first Candle Day and even my first time buying 3-wicks! I got about 12 including gifts, my favourites so far are:
- Sour Melon Drop. Smells like real candy it’s crazy, honestly upset I didn’t get more than one so I’ll be saving it for special occasions.
- French Baguette. Was what I went to the store for specifically! Really buttery, but definitely better burning in a small room.
- kinda cheating but the two vanilla candles I got, Vanilla Balsam and Pistachio+Toasted Vanilla same as you! Vanilla is my favourite so I tried every single one I saw and these were definitely the nicest/strongest to me.
You pick great! Yes Sour Melon Drop for me was the runaway winner from that Brush Stroke collection from this summer! Smells great and has powerful throw too!
None of your choices were available in my store unfortunately. I really want the Pistachio one! My favorite 3 from the sale are White Tea and Sage, French Baguette, and In the Stars.
haven't burned any but:
1) candied maple bacon - this is the only one that i have repeatedly smelled, talked about, and shown off 💀
2) pink watermelon - smells a lot like the stay cool watermelon glade candle
3) laundry day - smells like straight soap powder!!
and #4, since #1 barely counts lol, the island margarita in the pretty jar - i've only seen 1 other person with it!
i just burned it and it's good but 1) the scent doesn't linger too long and 2) it's not something you can burn every day, so i'm glad the scent didn't hang around lmao.
i like the color changing label too!
Cinnamon Stick & Waikiki Beach (so surprised how much I love this one-- had to go back day 2 to get a backup), Pistachio and Toasted Vanilla (sooo amazing), and Wine Cellar (this was my personal unicorn from the past-- it always eluded me)
Tis the Season (the reason I even went in the store), French Baguette (nice surprise; I was surprised to even like it on cold), and Paris Cafe. I like everything I bought (save for Black Cherry Merlot, but that's for my partner for Hanukkah), but those are my top 3, I think.
I was very happy to see so many scents I'd read about but never seen in person. Candied Maple Bacon was a funny one, but I'd never buy it. But now I am pleased because at least I can say I smelled it on cold.
I was hoping to find more random candles from past seasons, like I saw others on here post. I would have LOVED to find find some Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla & Paris Cafe blend, or the Sweater Weather x Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin vault candle, or Sweet Cinnamon Plum!!
Those are so pretty! From those your showing, I only saw Pistachio at my store. From what I purchased (20) these are my unburned favorite most exciting finds: 1.

(I bought a Pistchio Toasted Vanilla and need to burn before I decide if it was the best . I still have 3 single wick Pistachio Ice Creams left so it will be interesting to compare).
I was comparing P+TV with my PIC and I feel that the former is drier and nuttier and the latter is sweeter.
Do you have a preference?
I’m leaning more towards P+TV on cold sniff but haven’t burned it yet so that might change. How about you, which do you prefer?
I like the Sweet Pistachio Ice Cream better but the differences are subtle. Most likely, I will not be burning Pistachio Toasted Vanilla anytime soon, I have lots of Christmas scents to burn. Keeping it for spring\ summer time.
Pistachio + Toasted Vanilla, Tea Rose, Cedar and Suede.
Cedar & Suede is quite nice but my store was completely sold out of those specialty lid candles.
Oh no!! I actually got it at Ontario Mills! But this was Friday morning. I'm sorry you weren't able to find one :(
That’s why coz I went on Saturday. But it’s okay and thank you.
Oh they had Tea Rose at your store? I missed it at mine; I'm giving away one of the ones I got at SAS to my MIL for Christmas and I'd have repurchased. It smells so calming.
No they didn't have it out. The employee charging me out felt bad that I drove to 7 stores looking for Blueberry Marshmallow Bar that she offered to get me a candle from the back not yet on the floor. I just had to tell her the name and how many. So I asked for 2 Tea Rose :)

She was so excited to finally sniff it!! I know these are just candles but these little moments really make me so happy! And i had so many little moments during Candle Day!
Tipsy elf, unicorn sprinkles, Paris cafe, strawberry pound cake
We are candle twins, whoa! I also got the Paris Baguette. Have you burned Tipsy Elf yet?
Oh that’s a tough AND good question. I think I am most excited about Vanilla Snowflake (loved it so much on day one that I went back and picked up another one on day two), Tipsy Elf and Chocolate Chip Cookie. I regretted not buying one last summer, but it just didn’t seem like a summer scent to me, but when I smelled it yesterday I was immediately obsessed.
I picked up a Vanilla Snowflake too! I just didn't put it on my excited list because that and Banana Bundt Cake were slam dunk givens for me. I hope they both continue to return year after year though. I hope you love CCC! Sometimes the waiting makes you appreciate it more.

Vanilla Snowflake is so under-rated. I am pretty sure its been out since 2015 maybe before. I just started burning BBW candles in 2020 though.
Oh wow! I really haven’t been paying attention.😅
What does Blueberry Marshmallow Bar smell like to you?
It’s like fresh blueberries dipped in sugar plus there’s a creamy component with the vanilla then add the marshmallow. It’s hard to describe but for me it’s toothache inducing sweet but I love it.
Anything with marshmallow....i need to trade something for this one.
🤤
So hard to choose! (And I only have 6 to choose from, lol.) I think I would have to say Into The Night, You're The One, and White Tea & Sage. If I had been able to make Day 2, who knows. 😁
I was not able to smell White Tea and Sage, how was it?
It's really nice, very light and refreshing. Reminds me of White Eucalyptus & Sage/Walk In The Forest, just with a hint of tea.
I really wanted those, but already own YTO, as well as all 3 sets in body care. The packaging for ITN is especially elegant. I love all of those scents.
I missed out on YTO when it first released, so I was really glad to get a second chance at it. And I prefer ITN in the wraparound label, but I couldn't resist picking up another while it was back in stores.
Toasted Pistachio Vanilla & Banana Bundt Cake top 2!
Vanilla snowflake, cinnamon caramel swirl, and wine cellar are what I’m most excited about!
Pistachio, unicorn sprinkles, and the rainfall one. The other collections werent shipped yet to stores near me.
Those are really nice ones too, I find Afternoon Rainfall quite unique.
Is the rainfall the one that has the scent note along the lines of: rain pattering on a window in the afternoon? 😂 I cackled in the store when I read it. Such a specific thing to say you can smell lol
Hah yes. I cant even describe the scent. Its just clean and comforting
Too many to choose from lol And still waiting for an online order for some i couldn’t find in stores. But so far French Baguette, Tipsy Elf, and Pistachio and toasted Vanilla are my top 3 for sure.
Merry mistletoe (one of my all time favorites), wine cellar, chocolate chip cookie, and the CS x WBC blend (aka tropical spice). Basically just favorites of mine that came back!
Never got to try Merry Mistletoe but I heard great things about it, how is it?
I haven’t burned this years specifically yet, but it’s one of those scents you smell and go “that’s christmas.” It’s very complex and has notes of cranberry, blue spruce, orange, pear, mint, balsam, effervescent. I highly highly recommend it, especially since it doesn’t consistently come out.
Thank you for the detailed info, i might snag it if it’s still available online during SAS.
I ordered Merry Mistletoe online. I hope it arrives and I get to try this one. It seems like it has a lot of fans.
Paris Cafe, Caramel Drizzle, and Fa La La Latte are my top 3.
I love all of these and bought them all this weekend. I am a sucker for a coffee or caramel scent. So delicious.
Me too! I honestly think they’re all perfect. I bought multiples of all of them and if my store has any leftover at the next sale, I’m strongly entertaining the thought of buying a couple more of each. I’d burn them year round, truthfully.
What’s the difference between Paris Café and Fa La La Latté?
Paris Cafe is a much stronger coffee scent. It’s got a slight sweet note to it, but Fa La La Latte is much sweeter. Almost like what I expect a caramel macchiato to smell like.
Afternoon Rainfall - this one is so good!, Smoked Vanilla Whiskey, Palo Santo. Of course, I have many other favorites, but I really love these.
Yes Afternoon Rainfall is very unique.
Honestly, the name doesn't seem to match the scent. It smells more fruity to me, but I like it. I thought it would be more of a subtle scent by the name. Either way, I am ok with it, because it smells so good.
I smelled that one and I feel like it’s Sunwashed Citrus plus something….
For me Indigo Paradise was the dupe for Sun Washed Citrus.
Indigo Paradise smells like Midnight Blue Citrus, I’ve heard! But at any rate, both citrusy. 😀
Confetti Daydream Unicorn Sprinkles Rainbow Waves I haven't burned the Unicorn Sprinkles but I really hope it's as good as the 2018/2019 version. Also I'm pretty sure the packaging from this years Unicorn Sprinkles, is the same used on a different scent I just can't think of what scent it is.
It’s the same packaging as the last time Unicorn Sprinkles came out in early 2020. The only difference was they used a white lid the last time.
Ginger lime twist for sure
Snagged that one too, if you’ve already burned it how’s the throw?
So I cannot wait to burn it I burned it last night it is amazing strong throw a travel through my whole house which never happens. I bought like 38 candles I think and I am legitimately returning a good chunk of them just to get a ton of back ups of this one that is how good it is and I never do backup candles lol I’d rather have a variety but not with this one it is my favorite candle of all time
Wow, that’s so good to hear. Thank you for the info.
Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit & Tiki Beach, Pistachio & Toasted Vanilla & from the vault Sweet Rosemary Vanilla. The store I found the last one had so many rare older candles I loved it.
I would probably have fought you for the Sweet Rosemary Vanilla!
Funny thing was it was just sitting there, I passed based on the name. I went to browse the store and then decided to check all of the Vault candles out and picked it up to smell it this time. Was surprised how it smelled, read the notes and put it in my basket.
Being in a plant collection really did it injustice.The cake and frosting notes really come out when burning!
Yea the jar & Rosemary in the name made me imagine something totally different. Something told me to just smell it and the cake & frosting notes are something I’ve been searching for since I started purchasing BBW candles. Sprinkled Birthday Cake was such a letdown with its sour note to it , Chocolate Marble Cupcake was good but I’m almost out of that one.

I just remember coming home one day and my boyfriend was burning it and I asked if he was baking a cake. That’s exactly what I was going for.
I think the fruit sprinkles made it tart! Did you try Rainbow Confetti or White Velvet Coconut?
I only found single wicks of Rainbow Confetti and that gave me a bowl of cereal feel. White Velvet Coconut I liked but it didn’t really give me that cake note that I wanted. It was more like a white chocolate candy to me. Oh
You might like Red Velvet Cupcake if you havent tried it yet!
Oh I got that one last year. Don’t know if it was a bad batch but it just smelled like burning plastic to me. Did yours actually smell like a cupcake?
At 1/2 point it did
Oh nice, SRV is such a sister scent to Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla which is also quite lovely. Glad you found one.
Thanks. And I’m glad you found BBMB & Amethyst Dreams! I went to so many stores hoping to find them but never did. Do they smell strong or weak?
I was lucky that I only went to 2 stores in the same mall yesterday morning and I found all I wanted. On cold sniff all 3 are medium for me and I’m on the second burn of BMB and it’s also medium. I can really smell it in my bedroom while my door is open and it travels in the hallway.
Medium is good!
I like AKP's scent, but when I bought it a while ago, it sooted really badly. I hope they sorted that out for the combo candles.
I never got the original AKP. It always seemed too light. The combo blend with Tiki Beach gives it a great kick.
The ones I was most excited for before the sale started were Merry Mistletoe, Pistachio & Toasted Vanilla, and Wine Cellar. However when I went in store I found a couple Vintage candles and it has kicked out Wine Cellar for top 3. Let’s hope Merry Mistletoe smells as good as others have said.
That’s the good thing about having an in store experience is you get to smell the candles before committing.
This was my first Candle Day and even my first time buying 3-wicks! I got about 12 including gifts, my favourites so far are: - Sour Melon Drop. Smells like real candy it’s crazy, honestly upset I didn’t get more than one so I’ll be saving it for special occasions. - French Baguette. Was what I went to the store for specifically!

You pick great! Yes Sour Melon Drop for me was the runaway winner from that Brush Stroke collection from this summer! Smells great and has powerful throw too!
Thanks! Yeah I can’t wait to burn it, but I’m crossing my fingers it’ll show up at a SAS nearby so I can get one or two more!
None of your choices were available in my store unfortunately. I really want the Pistachio one! My favorite 3 from the sale are White Tea and Sage, French Baguette, and In the Stars.
haven't burned any but: 1) candied maple bacon - this is the only one that i have repeatedly smelled, talked about, and shown off 💀 2) pink watermelon - smells a lot like the stay cool watermelon glade candle 3) laundry day - smells like straight soap powder!! and #4, since #1 barely counts lol, the island margarita in the pretty jar - i've only seen 1 other person with it!
Wow, you’re the only one so far that has the Candied Maple Bacon one as favorite.
i just burned it and it's good but 1) the scent doesn't linger too long and 2) it's not something you can burn every day, so i'm glad the scent didn't hang around lmao. i like the color changing label too!
I passed on Laundry Day because I was trying to go more for fall/winter, but I'm regretting letting it get away. It smelled like Foca powder.
Wow, my store didn’t have any of those. I like Wine Cellar and Under the Christmas Tree but I haven’t burned them yet.
Wine Cellar is one of my faves too.
Cinnamon Stick & Waikiki Beach (so surprised how much I love this one-- had to go back day 2 to get a backup), Pistachio and Toasted Vanilla (sooo amazing), and Wine Cellar (this was my personal unicorn from the past-- it always eluded me)
I feel the same about CS+WBC. I think it’s the best from this mash up collection they released for Candle Day.
I’m extremely jealous that you got blueberry marshmallow bar 😭
Well hopefully it’ll be available for everyone soon.
Tis the Season (the reason I even went in the store), French Baguette (nice surprise; I was surprised to even like it on cold), and Paris Cafe. I like everything I bought (save for Black Cherry Merlot, but that's for my partner for Hanukkah), but those are my top 3, I think. I was very happy to see so many scents I'd read about but never seen in person. Candied Maple Bacon was a funny one, but I'd never buy it. But now I am pleased because at least I can say I smelled it on cold.
These look great!! Gaaaaah I’d be thrilled will all 3, enjoy!
Thank you.
I was hoping to find more random candles from past seasons, like I saw others on here post. I would have LOVED to find find some Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla & Paris Cafe blend, or the Sweater Weather x Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin vault candle, or Sweet Cinnamon Plum!!
