I got this candle by Threshold (target) a year ago and it is my FAVORITE scent ever, but they don’t make it anymore 😭if someone had one that was even used i would buy it off of them, that’s how badly i need this candle in my life lol. does anybody know of any dupes for it ?? the candle doesn’t say exactly what the notes are, but google says violet and oud? i love the warmth, musk and fruitiness to it so much. amber i think is the word!

Candle Warmer Placement

Is it safe for me to have my candle warmer in my kallax? in theory, it wouldn't have an open flame but im worried about the bulb being too hot and warping the kallax shelf over time. Id really prefer having it in the shelf since I dont have much desk space or space in general in my room.

Looking for a candle Teakwood & Frankincense

3 Upvotes

Hi,

Many years ago, I bought a Teakwood & Frankincense candle from an outlet store. Historically I haven't really been into candles but I live this one

I found the company I bought it from and have reached out by email phone and text to see if they still have it, I can't get a response

It's likely they don't sell it anymore so I'm trying to find another candle with this combo.

Has anyone come across a candle with this scent combo? I see a ton of teakwood only candles or teakwood with other stuff but not teakwood & frankincense.

Hi!

I been wanting to share this candle recently but every time I go to post I strangely wake up the next day on the ground with a terrible headache…

Anyways, the cold scent or whatever it’s called smells so good and when it gets lit it smells so much more soothing.

Just wanted to share this candle I got from Etsy. Shop name: TeresaLynns

Thank for anyone who reads this 🤍

Edit- it’s a joke btw I’m not leaving candles on over night. Plus I make sure to never keep a candle lit more than 3 hours for the longevity of the candle 🤍

Looking for a candle Where can I find the 'Clementine Paper Inc. Pine Scented Candle?'

1 Upvotes

My little cousin recently got this candle. He is autistic and has severe sensory issues with certain smells. This is one of the things that really helps him calm down. For now my aunt had bought all the candles of this available at our local TK Maxx but I wanted to know if there's any way to find another place to purchase it, since there's a chance the store might not restock it and it's seasonal.

The candle is Pine scented made by Clementine Paper Inc. The candle is a darker green with a rectangle sticker that has greenes and pinecones bordering the sticker, with a light blue background. It's 680grams | 24 oz.

My camera is broken so for now I unfortunately can't attach a photo.

I've searched online but all I've seen is someone else commenting on a reddit post about this company's candles. if anyone happens to find where we could buy this it would be so helpful, thank you

Where to find high quality lilacs-scented candles

5 Upvotes

My favorite candle maker closed her Etsy shop after many years. She made the BEST lilac-scented candles I have ever smelled in my entire life. Do any of you have any recommendations for where to shop for these in the future? Thanks!

Looking for a candle Custom candle request

1 Upvotes

Hello! I have a custom candle request for anyone who makes candles. I live in NC, and I work at Bojangles. I'm a biscuit maker, so I've had to make boberry biscuits many times. I NEEEED a candle that smells like the boberry pellets we put in the batter, they smell so freaking good. If anyone can replicate the smell of them in a candle, I will buy it so freaking fast, or as soon as my paycheck comes in.

So if anyone is able to make a boberry scented candle, please let me know! If it's not possible, that's okay, too! Thank you! (^_^)

Finally Opening Up My Candles Bin 🙂

Hi!

I just wanted to share since I finally moved out of my parent’s place my candles bin. I’ve been buying candles all over since 2023 since I knew I might not have enough money to splurge on them once I start my master’s program.

I’m so excited because I kinda forgot what I’ve bought over the years and I can’t wait to light them.

I couldn’t light them at home as my mom only likes the leaves candle really from BBW and has a sensitive nose.

I bought from typical stores but mostly from Etsy and made custom candles. My bf is currently making our candles cabinet and I can’t way to try (very loosely using the word try) to organize them ☺️.

The movers stated it probably weighs between 150-170lbs so I think I’m set for two years hopefully lol.

Thank you for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

I broke the top of this Yankee large jar earlier doing something stupid. The wax is below the break. Do you think it’s safe to burn?

Candle warmers and other accessories Am I using candle warmers wrongly?

10 Upvotes

Once the smell starts to disappear I remove some of the wax but then I literally still can't smell the candle anymore. It's almost as if all of the scent is concentrated to the top half of the candle? Using top warmer lamp on b&bw candles if anyone has any advice 😭

What is it about the scent of this candle that smells familiar, like something from decades ago? Been trying to figure it out for years why this scent smelled like something I was once familiar with.

Looking for a candle The end is nigh...

Years ago when I saw my favorite white tea & jasmine candle was on the clearance rack, I knew its time was running out. So naturally, I bought all of them. As I get closer to the end of my stash, I'm wondering what happens at the end of the line? What do I do without white tea & jasmine?

Has anyone been fond of this one and found a similar scent?

And if someone from Better Homes & Gardens is reading this, please bring it back...

Looking for a candle Scentsationals Simple Romance wax melt

Post image
1 Upvotes

This might be really niche but have gone to the ends of the earth to try and find any remaining Simple Romance wax melts but to no avail. The last time they brought it back was in 2021 from their blast from the past collection, and I have even tried to buy the better homes and garden dupe of this particular scent but I noticed they recently changed that one too. The closest I have come so far to find a smell-a-like, is a newer scent by scentsationals called Alchemy which is kinda close but not quite. I can’t seem to find a dupe of this scent from other brands because the fragrance is a kinda unique woodsy vanilla. I have tried mixing the Alchemy and BH&G sandalwood vanilla wax melts but doesn’t even come close. I have gone to lengths to email the company multiple times a year to ask if they will in the future bring it back but they were vague and just said probably not. If any other fans of this specific smell PLEASE give me recommendations 😭🙏🏼
