Wick & Fable Candle: Middle Earth


Today's October word prompt is:

Candles

This tiny 2 ounce candle from Wick and Fable, Middle Earth, is not as "fresh and clean" as I had anticipated due to the notes. I am in fact quite happy about that. There is a smooth roundness to the scent that almost reminds me of vanilla somehow. This is an interesting scent to be sure but it is on the medium-light side. I stick it on my nightstand for feel-good ambience more than anything else. I do love these small candles from Wick & Fable. They normally burn really well. I think they can only be had by buying their monthly box. I am on pins and needles waiting for that Harry Potter box to arrive from September.

I am going to finally burn my Autumn Day candle from Bath & Body Works this weekend. 

I have not been keeping up on the candle scene... are there any good scents from Bath & Body Works this fall? Any new candle vendors? I did see Andy Tauer came out with some candles. They are $60 I believe, so if I get one it would be a splurge to be sure.

  1. BBW is mostly more of the same, though they did re-release Pumpkin Patch/Carving/Heirloom Pumpkin which is one of my all-time favorites. The scent throw between the two different labels is quite different (the label I like better is the weaker one, naturally) so I'm planning to go exchange them.

    1. Is it? Pooh. But that somehow does not surprise me. I might still have to pop in seeing as I only have one autumn candle from BBW on hand. And why is it the different labels of the same scent have different throw?! Infuriating. It is nice that they will take returns though. Hope you are doing well? How is work?

  2. I am burning a wood wick candle from TheArtOfAwen I was just gifted, it is my first wood wick candle and the crackling is a nice touch. Soy candles usually burn pretty fast for me but this one is lasting longer. maybe it is the wick, or maybe I am just imagining it. I have been out of the candle routine for a while as well.

    1. Oooooo! I love wood wicks!!! Is the throw nice on it? I will have to look into this brand. You always find the coolest stuff. I am finding it is nice to burn a candle every now and then. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. <3
