Real Talk About Bath and Body Works Candles

So first thing this morning, the rest of the fall lineup popped up online; at this point, everything that is out for fall is available on the website. The interesting thing is even more candles that I hadn't seen on social media appeared online. Instead of going back to prior NEWNESS UPDATE posts and updating them, I thought I'd just make a whole new list, particularly for those who, like me, have no opened stores in their area and have to buy online. White Barn Core Collection (Fall Additions) Returning Scents: Flannel Frozen Lake Leaves Marshmallow Fireside Pumpkin Apple Pumpkin Pecan Waffles Salted Butterscotch Sparkling Pear Riesling   Sweater Weather Vanilla Sage (from fall 2019) New Scents: Pumpkin Vanilla Crème (repackage of Vanilla Pumpkin) Raspberry Mimosa Pumpkin Pop Up Candle Collection Returning Scents: Banana Walnut Muffin (from summer 2020) Blueberry Maple Pancakes Caramel Pumpkin Swirl Pumpkin Apple Pumpkin Donu...

Another candle collection has recently popped up in certain stores. They're WB candles with wraparound colored labels with leaves, pine trees, or wheat itched in white - they actually look quite nice and autumnal, they have a very folksy/homey crafstore in fall feel to them. And the now, the scents... Everyone's fall favorite is back - Cider Lane. However be forewarned - they're may be a slight chance that it's the same Cider Lane we all know and love. Apparently the notes in the description are wordforword the same notes as Gather - " bourbon glazed apples, maple sugar, creamy vanilla ". Hopefully this is just a factory eff up with the wrong notes being used and the scent itself hasn't changed or folks will riot! ADDENDUM: It was just, it's been proven to be the same Cinder Lane. Also the actual candle Gather has been added to this collection The other returning scents in this collection include Leaves, MaBLAHgony STANKwood and Harvest Gathe...

As you may or may not know, some of the latest fall scents popped up online (and in some opened stores) at the beginning of the month. Today, round 2 of this year's fall scents have appeared online first thing this morning... As you can see, this collection is all of the usual conceptual fall staples/fan favs - Leaves, Autumn, Cranberry Woods & Marshmallow Fireside . The Perfect Autumn is back; we can just assume that's here to stay as a fall staple, I'm not sure why. My new fall bae, Pumpkin Clove , is back - YAY! Lastly there's Lakeside Morning , which (I believe) is just a renamed  Lakeside Sunrise  The second collections is another set of conceptual aromatherapy-sh vaguely autumnal scents - Almond Blossom ( which I assume is the same Almond we've seen before or it might be based on the bodycare ) , White Tea & Sage , Lavender Vanilla and Crisp Morning Air (OMG I'm so tired of seeing this scent, it's not that good). The "new...

*I meant to post this Friday/July 3 but wasn't feeling well* On Thursday morn, quite a surprises popped up online... Real talk, I haven't had much of anything to say lately and was fully prepared to abandon this blog and completely disappear until I saw these which I believed warranted coming out of retirement and talking about them. So as I said before, they appeared online first thing Thursday morning with little to no fanfare...I assume. Despite no longer being active on IG, I do occasionally peep my head in to see what's going with BBW in the candleverse. Point is, I haven't seen anyone mention most of these. As none of these are currently online sale, I don't believe they are part of summer "SAS" (if you want to call it that); I've heard whispers that "SAS" might continue on a little bit longer but I assume these will go on sale some time it's over. Alright, without further ado, let's get into these candles! So ...
