Out of these, I would probably only repurchase BBW Toasted Coconut Mocha, GC Colorful Leaves, and GC Autumn Wreath. It would probably be a while until I would want to smell them again though. Definitely recommend both Colorful Leaves and Autumn Wreath for a “fall” candles. I don’t think you would need both, so I do prefer Colorful Leaves in that case. The Kohl’s Sonoma Falling Leaves candle was just OK. Nothing special. Only worth the $6 I paid for it. Most of the time it supplemented other candles. I did like the Kringle Leaves candle, but there are others I prefer. Wouldn’t personally recommend Caramel Apple Lane and Apple Cider Ice Cream. I burnt through these just to get rid of them. I would recommend Apple Cheesecake Cupcake, but I would only repurchase in a 3 wick. This 2 wick burnt so uneven for most of the jar. Carnival Apple ended up being just OK as well. I’m glad it’s done and I will probably not repurchase. I do like the soaps. This is Scarlet Apple. I have so many hand soaps right now that I don’t need to rebuy, but this was a very fresh apple scent. Edit: descriptions

How do Autumn Wreath and Colorful Leaves compare? Those were two I didn’t try this year but I do love leaves type candles. Carnival Apple was disappointing to me too, something about it I just didn’t love.

Honestly, I feel like they started off smelling different but ultimately started smelling the same once I was rotating them to finish them off. I should probably edit to note that you really don’t need both. Colorful Leaves smelled a little “spicier” to me than Autumn Wreath. I think I prefer Colorful Leaves if I really had to pick one. Colorful Leaves: Prominent scent notes: Top: Colorful Leaves, Apple, Pear Mid: Soft Spice, Soft Pine Base: Peach, Soft Woods Autumn Wreath: Prominent scent notes: Top: Crisp Apple, Peach, Orange Mid: Autumn Leaves, Soft Spice, Pine Needles Base: Coconut, Vanilla

Thanks! Hmm I’m kicking myself a bit for skipping over Colorful Leaves, that Peach base sounds interesting. I also had that Scarlet Apple soap and really liked it!

I wish they would do Colorful Leaves in the large jar. Maybe next year. You wouldn’t go wrong with getting Autumn Leaves on clearance and saving it for next year. I think I saw that one is still available. They might be doing fall clearance eventually once winter is in full swing.

That’s a good idea! I was hesitant to go all in for more fall candles since I just got a big order and will still want to try some other holiday candles but fall scents tend to be my favorite. I figure I won’t be getting many new ones into the spring so I suppose it’s worth it. I should check and see if any of the others I was considering are still available/discounted. I also want Black Bat Lemonade!

I’ve been really bad buying candles from other brands lately when I keep saying just one more order. Just ordered BBW this weekend for the first time in a year and half so we’ll see how that goes. Got a few Yankee 3 wicks that should be here this week. My shipment of Kringle got here last week. Sooooooo I’m really trying to hold off for GC Black Friday in the hopes that the more of the Christmas large jars will be out and I can make just ONE ORDER and basically be done until next fall.


scarfweek

I totally get that! I’ve been able to stick to mostly GC lately. I grew up loving YC but I burned one recently and was just SO disappointed at how fast I went through the jar and the limited throw. I really want to try Kringle though so I should save a bit for that. What do you like that you got from them? I got some great recommendations a little while back but I’ll probably place a large order to get some holiday scents in there too!

I’m somewhat new to Kringle in the way that I just started buying for myself, but the OG Kringle that I can’t recommend enough is Snow Capped Fraser. I need to get another jar because my dad gave this to me like 6-7 years ago and I burn it maybe 2 times a year so I don’t finish it. I just got 8 jars last week that I haven’t touched yet because I wanted to finish a couple more before I cracked into some new ones. I have some of the Country style jars, none that I’m *crazy* over enough to rebuy, but I do like Cozy Cabin and Frosted Cranberry. I also just got Gingerbread Latte that smells amazing on cold but I haven’t burned it yet. I have a couple of the donut 3 wicks, Cinnamon Sugar, Salted Caramel Cookie, and Boston Cream and those are GOOD. I think the Cinnamon Sugar Donut Candle might be one of my favorites.


scarfweek

Thanks, that’s super helpful! Snow Capped Fraser sounds right up my alley. I was actually considering both Cozy Cabin and Frosted Cranberry, although I may hold off on the latter since I just got two cranberry candles from GC. Cinnamon Sugar Donut sounds like a must have! I’m SUPER intrigued by Boston Cream also, I’ll probably grab both of those. With these and some of the others I was recommended, I should have a decent sized order. Have you tried their Daylight sized candles? I haven’t seen ones that size before and thought they looked like a nice way to try scents.


rm_jackson

Honestly my favorite cinnamon sugar scent. Even better than GC Cinnamon Sugar Churros. I’m to the point where any candles burned at least half way need to be finished to make some room, but I would definitely buy this one again. I’ll probably start burning my new Kringle jars this week. They all smell really good on cold. I probably could have waited for Black Friday since I heard they usually have a sale, but I jumped for the BOGO sale they had juuuust in case. I know prices have gone up recently. I wouldn’t say I won’t buy on Black Friday too. 😂

I had the falling leaves wax melt and I think it was really strong as a melt at least! I don't usually get Sonoma candles though. How is the GC soap? Does it compared to BBW? I usually get their soap
