WHITE BARN EXCLUSIVENESS: White Pear Champagne

-

Products: candle
Area used in:  living room
Time Period: end of February - beginning of April


Description: Liven up the room with a bubbly blend of sparkling white wine and juicy spring green pears
Well this seems to be an ongoing trend with me lately - out of all the candles in a particular collection, only one piques my interest. And this is the one that intrigued the most as it seemed to be moreorless new. As it's only a White Barn exclusive, I decided to look for it on Evilbay. Once again, it was a case of curiosity killing the cat and much to my dismay, it turned out not to be a new scent at all but rather a repackage with a twist. Like aforementioned Sparkling Limeade, had I bought online or in a store, I would've brought it back to get exchanged for something better.

 Performance wise, it burned like a BOSS! The wicks had the biggest plumpest mushroom tops that I've seen in a really long time. That said, the flames were ridonkulously high. The drawback was that it did leave soot on the very ugly and basic white tumbler. Anyhoo, there were never any wax issues; it always melted deeply and evenly.

 And now let's talk about the scent.... sigh

 Now just judging from the notes I thought at first that it would be "sour apple pucker" scent i.e. Pink Apple Punch/Wasabi Apple/Green Apple Orchard/Green Apple Champagne which worried me as I despise those scents. I really hoped it be a genuine fresh, juicy and crisp pear scent as I love anything with pear. Fortunately it was not the former however unfortunately it is not the latter. It is however a straightup repackage with a twist of...wait for it...friggin CHAMPAGNE TOAST. There's the tiniest hint of pear but it's not juicy and fresh but rather sweet and fake. But for the most part all you really smell is Champagne Toast. It's basically Champagne Toast with a tiny hint of Cranberry Pear Bellini.

 On the one hand, I'm not too disappointed as I do love me some CT. However I was kinda hopin that this was a new scent and not another tired lazy repackage. Unless you're a huge fan of CT and dont currently have any in your collection, leave WPC right on the shelf!

    I just started burning mine now and it is AWESOME! I do get the hint of Cranberry Pear Bellini though. I bought if for a super amazing deal so no complaints here. :)

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...
