Candle Review: Bath & Body Works Frosted Cranberry

Candle: Bath & Body Works Frosted Cranberry.
Here are the fragrance notes:
Availability: As this is a seasonal candle, it's not currently available but I would check again around the end of September-October as this is usually a part of their fall/winter lineup. 
Would I buy this again?: Yes!
Notes: My reasoning for buying the candle: It sounded absolutely delicious :P
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - The cranberry and apple are strongest in this, followed by the pink currant. The vanilla is there but is very soft, which I like.
As the wax warms and burns, the scent kind of intensifies. The cranberry is obviously very strong in the candle - again the apple and currant notes are very close and the vanilla is askew. I think the balance is nice because I love the tartness in it. If the vanilla overpowered everything or competed with the other scents... blah. This is honestly my very favorite out of the entire winter line of candles. It's AMAZING! Throw-wise, this candle does a great job.
This candle melts beautifully, no complaints there.

Candle Review: bath & body works Cranberry Woods

Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you. 
Candle: bath & body works Scented Candle in Cranberry Woods.
Here are the fragrance notes:
Availability: As this is a seasonal candle, it's not currently available but I would check again around the end of September-October as this is usually a part of their fall/winter lineup. 
Would I buy this again?: Yes.
Notes: My reasoning for buying the candle: Honestly, the scent combination sounded amazeballs.
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - I smell the cranberry and what I can only suppose to be the cinnamon bark. Except it smells more woodsy than cinnamon-y. I don't really pick much cinnamon up, but the cranberry and just a hint of currant are definitely there with the woodiness.  I can imagine burning this over a fireplace or something because it's a wonderfully warm, cozy scent. 
As the wax warms and burns, the wood scent is definitely intensified. The cranberry is just slightly there and well... I can't really smell any currant in there. 
This candle melts beautifully, no complaints there.

Candle Review: Bath & Body Works Spiced Apple Toddy

Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you. 
Candle: Bath & Body Works Scented Candle in Spiced Apple Toddy.
Here are the fragrance notes:
Availability: The pricing list is as follows:
14.5 oz/429mL - $24.50, burn for: 30-45 hours
Would I buy this again?: Yes, yes I would.
Notes: My reasoning for buying the candle: I absolutely ADORE spiced apple cider and figured... well this is up my alley. It sounded like something like spiced cider but with a twist. 
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - I smell the apple, plum, and cranberry. There's also something in there that reminds me of a spiced pear. Interesting; could be the cider note. 
As the wax warms and burns, the scent intensifies, the apple in particular comes out and is followed by the cranberry. For the most part though, it's a beautiful apple scent that's accented nicely by baking spices. I dig it. The throw was pretty strong, nearly filling up my room - 14x11ft. Very nice, very nice indeed! :D
