Bath & Body Works: Sparkling Amber Candle


Sparkling Amber has been catching my eye upon recent trips to the old Bath & Body Works. I could resist her wiles no longer. After about an hour of melt time it formed a nice deep amber pool of wax. The flames stayed small but strong. The scent in the largest room of the house was about medium light. I have since decided to melt this in our bedroom. The scent description is: "Velvety peach and lush frangipani petals add a touch of lightness to warm, alluring amber." The amber figures prominently. I find it to be in a similar vein as their Sensual Amber scent if you are familiar with that particular fragrance. The peaches are more skin than fruity pulp, sweet but not sticky. The frangipani haunts this scent in the guise of their throwback, Plumeria. It is very subtle, almost not discernible.  Overall, I am very pleased with this choice. Would I pay $30 (the full asking price)? No, I would need more throw. However, they were a part of the 2/$22 deal and that is why I pulled the trigger. I also grabbed Marshmallow Fireside and Cardamom & Suede. Mmmmmmm. Purchased or eyeballing any Bath & Body Works candles? Do tell!

  1. Mmmmmmm..... Marshmallow Fireside sounds yummy! I have wanted to go to Bath and Body works for a long time now. There is a laundry list of candles that I want and some new things I would like to try from Lush. I smell a shopping trip soon...

  2. Cardamom and Suede, aye? Sounds exotic and enticing! Frangipani is a funny word. Sorry this didn't throw as much as you wanted, that's always such a bummer. :(

    1. Frangipani is a funny word. Sounds... Like hanky panky.

      I don't mind that it is not strong as I could see it becoming cloying, makes it a nice bedroom atmosphere scent. Mellow and quietly beautiful.
