My mom spoils me. Sunnee posted on Facebook about the $9 candle sale at Bath & Body Works about a month ago and I shared it in case any of my friends wanted to partake. I mentioned not being able to buy at the time and my mom texted me and demanded I tell her three scents I wanted. And to recommend some she might like. Moms are awesome.
When she brought them over the other day I noticed the new packaging sleeves. Very nice! I hope they are helping to reduce the amount of breakage I hear about that occurs during shipping.
Rainforest Gardenia- Notes: White florals, lush green undertones, fresh bamboo, and sweet apple water.
A nice soft and watery gardenia scent.
Vanilla Bean Marshmallow- Notes: Vanilla and marshmallow.
It smells more like a creamy vanilla custard to me.
Ocean Driftwood- Notes: Beachside oak, mahogany and fresh air.
It smells just like Mahogany and Teakwood to me.
I am excited about my new candles but I am kind of bummed that Ocean Driftwood is just a new label for a same old scent. I like Mahogany and Teakwood but I was looking for something different. More salty and driftwood like. Have you found any new favorite scents at Bath & Body Works?
Rainforest Gardenia has been a best seller in my store. We can't keep it on the shelves. It's STRONG on cold-sniff, so I'd love to hear your opinion on how it burns. Vanilla Bean Marshmallow is a favorite of mine, and I think I have 5 left in my hall closet. LOL! I am sorry you were disappointed in the Mahogany Teakwood repackage. You probably would have liked Lakeside or Boathouse Row from the Lakeside collection a couple years ago. Both were nice, clean, masculine, fresh, earthy, woodsy, and not dupes of any previous fragrance.
ReplyDeleteI can see why it flies off the shelves! It burns amazingly! I have a review coming up for it in a week or so. The vanilla one smells so creamy and yummy. I think I will burn it around back to school time. The ocean one is nice but I already have a mahogany Teakwood so I gave it to my sister. Lakeside sound exactly like something I would love. Maybe I could find it at the outlets.
