Branching Out with Candles
Thursday August 06, 2015
So for many many years I only bought Bath & Body Works candles. The 3-wick ones because nothing else was strong enough for the open design of my house. But that also meant stalking the store for their 2 for $22 sale over and over coupled with their limited fragrance selection. After receiving some candles from Catbird as gifts I started shopping around for woodsy-based candles and saw Target had gotten these large, inexpensive, soy candles in simple glass jars.
The black orchid and amber is fantastic. If you’ve ever liked those woodsy teakwood candles found at Madewell (or UO) this is 3 times in size and easily the same price or cheaper. It fills a large room with fragrance as well.
The sparkling yuzu is nice but subtle. I was surprised to see yuzu as a fragrance but it’s really more mellowed in this candle than I was hoping. Probably wouldn’t get this one again.
Also I’m not usually a fan of Yankee Candle except for the fresh cut roses. It has a really nice pure rose fragrance. No musk or added florals just roses.
Lastly I picked this one up at Anthropologie on clearance. It has a nice marine fragrance and I like the design so much I might keep it for holding tea light candles.

I’ve seem that choose happiness candle at Target a few times and have always been tempted to buy it. However, I have so many Bath and Body Works I need to finish before I can bring myself to buy another candle.

I really like Calvin Klein driftwood and cashmere candles, I think you would really like them as well.

Your house is sooooo nice! I never started liking candles until a few years ago. I don’t normally light them at home because I don’t really have a table to display it and light it on. Planning to get a new vanity table soon so I can finally start decorating my room a bit!
