OMG y'all....OM-f***ingG!!! I LOVE THIS SCENT SOOOOO FRIGGIN MUCH!!! WHERE DO I BEGIN?!!!
So even though this scent has been awhile for awhile (2010 or 2011?) I didn't find out about CSD until fall 2012..the "arial font" version. For some reason, I didn't buy it; I may have been still stuck in my anti-bakery scent phase. However so many people were goin apeshit for this candle (as well Sweater Weather) that year that I started to become a little intrigued. Because of it's popularity, many thought that we'd see it the following fall. Alas, instead we got the poor man's Apple Crumble, Cider Donut to everyone's dismay and dissatisfaction. But this year, BBW came to their senses and released it in the Spring Sweet Shop line.
Now as all y'all know, I'm not a big fan of bakery scents (although I have been coming around in recent months). Most bakery scents just smell too sweet for me to handle and more often than not they smell more artificial than genuine. Moreover if I wanted to smell a bakery item, I would simply buy said bakery item and actually eat it. However, I've seen the light! This candle has completely rocked my world enough to make me change my mind about bakery scents forever!!!
Performance wise this candle burned like a friggin champ! The flames stayed consistently high from top to bottom! No tunneling, no canyoning...just a perfect deep and even wax pool. Here's the problem...the throw! E'RYBODY has been complaining about how weak the throw is! This is not a candle to burn in a large room cuz the throw will get completely lost. I burned in the middle of my living room and I could barely smell a thing! But when I burned it in my bedroom and in the guest bedroom, it completely filled the entire room. Didn't knock me out but rather wrapped and enveloped me like a warm blanket, which I love! And the scent lingered for several HOURS after I blew the candle out!
The scent...OMG..the scent! It smells like a legit hot cinnamon sugared doughnut - a doughnut fresh out of the grease (you can even smell the grease) and rolled around in cinnamon sugar. When I was younger, my mom would make cinnamon sugar doughnuts from biscuits in a can (much like the doughnuts in the picture above). This candle totally brought me back to my childhood. The first day I burned this candle, I got inspired to make doughnuts like my mom used to make (same doughnuts in pic). Kid y'all not, the doughnuts and candle smelled just alike, I literally couldn't tell the difference. The scent is sooooo authentic, it's ridiculous! You smell everything - the dough, the grease, the cinnamon sugar! It's so crazy how amazing and legit CSD smells!

So in conclusion..BUY THIS CANDLE!!!! STOCK THE EFF UP!!! The 3wick disappears online a lot cuz sooooo many people buy it. So if it appears again and you see it, GET IT!!! If you see it in your store, BUY IT!!! This candle is that damn good!!!!

MY LAST POST: End of an Era

-
Have you ever looked back at something in your life that you were once passionate about and/or obsessed with and over time, you found yourself not feeling the same way anymore? Perhaps sort of going thru the motions with it or just completely over it but not ready to admit it? That's how I feel about B&BW...more to the point, that's how I feel about talking about B&BW as a reviewer. I've mentioned before that I stopped posting regularly on IG. During last year's lockdown, I would pop my head in with a post or a story just to keep in touch a bit and show I was alive...only to see my post not get as much attention as they used to as well as also watching one follower after the next unfollow me. Apparently if you're not churning out daily content, folks can't be bothered with you, regardless of what's going on in your life. At the start of 2020, I had a little over 6000 followers (even that annoyed me as there were accounts who started later than me and

CANDLE RETROSPECTIVE: Brozeblogger's Top 20 Candles OF ALL TIME

-
Well dear readers, today's New Year's Eve - we're almost at the finish line and soon we'll be able to wave goodbye and not so fond farewell to the dumpster fire that was 2020. Normally, as per my own tradition, in honor of New Year's I would write a retrospective look back on the past year and list what I thought were the best new scents that were released. Obviously I couldn't do that this year - with the pandemic, I've been avoiding stores thus couldn't do my usual WALK N SNIFFs nor did I particularly buy very much as I'm not about that shipping/handling plus tax life. But as this this New Years hits a bit differently than past ones and is the beginning of a new decade, I thought I do something different. I thought I'd do a real retrospective and look back at some of my favorite scents spanning from my time as a review and as Bronzeblogger - some from now till back in 2013 when I started this blog. I'm gonna avoid seasonal rideordie loves l

NEWNESS UPDATE: Spring 2021 Candles

-
 Well we made it to 2021! I personally feel like the new year started last week on January 20th; the world got a little less crazy and I feel like I can breath again. No, things are certainly not ideal and nowhere near back to the normal but it's slowly getting there. I hadn't had much to say on here lately. I didn't engage in any SAS shenanigans for obvious reasons. Besides a few wf bulbs during the most recent sale, I haven't really bought anything. I've kinda just been laying low and slimming down my collection as I'm not about the collecting/stocking up life anymore; either burning things or giving and/or selling them away. Occasionally I peep my head into social media to see what's poppin and what newness (that I won't get to see or smell for myself to review) is heading our way. I debated whether or not it was worth posting a newness update; after putting it off and hemmingandhawwing, I decided I might as well. So here we are. So as you may (or may
