Thread: Scented Candles

Tweet

So, in fall my family always goes to Williamsburg, VA and it is home to a monstrous yankee candle store and I mean huge. I always try to get my usual autumn leaves and pumpkin spice candles, however I am always late to get the other more halloween specific scents. Anyone know when these usually hit the market?


Yes, dudes use candles too! I know this may be hard to grasp to some other people. As proof, I took this picture earlier, I got tired of smelling wed clay for the past 3 days.

I too love candles especially the cinnamon ones, but now that I have kids I cant go candle pyromaniac anymore

I think that maybe august or September the stores have them. You can also order them on their site I believe

Indeed. You never know when a random object might take flight in the house and make a beeline for the open flame. But, I still have to fire up one at a time.

Online ordering is a good suggestion. Do they have any Cracker Barrel restaurants in your area? Those always carry Yankee candles, and I've seen fall scents on the shelves year round.

I know YC Boney Buunch line comes out in August, but they start advertising earlier. You gotta keep your eye on their site!

We always go to Ikia every year and buy orange and black pillar candles. They have a certain smell to them that always reminds me of Halloween, not any specific scent. I can't stand any of the Yankee candle scents except Storm Watch so those don't work for me.

My challenge every year is to find several pumpkin spice candles that won't break the bank. Back in the mid 00's Big Lots had some great pumpkin spice jars, but 3 or 4 years ago they changed the scent and I don't like it anymore. Yankee is great, but I can't afford to spend $50-$60 for a couple candles. Like off brands of all products, you have to search to find a good one.

Nothing like sitting around watching a horror movie in October with no lights, just candles!

"Nothing like sitting around watching a horror movie in October with no lights, just candles!"

Oh absolutely! (and any other time of the year I need a mini Halloween fix!)

Okay, Ill keep my eye out, I need my fix and most of my candles are getting low

Get yourself to darkcandles.com right now...their stuff is amazing and they are great to do business with.

I bought a bunch of clove tealights for use in my haunt last year. Smells soooo good...and they have a variety of other lovely spooky scents.
