It had been high on my list to get to a Bath & Body Works while we were in the States. Mostly I wanted some of their famed Hand Hygiene gels (once a nurse, always a nurse) and of course, their Autumnal candles. As it turned out, I wasn't overawed by Sweater Weather or Autumn Leaves, the two I had planned on getting and instead I let my overriding love of sugar draw me to these:
(shout-out to the advent calendar in the background)
Warm Apple Pie 100% smells like I am actively baking an apple pie. I'm not really sure what wizardry went into this but it makes my mouth water every time I sniff it (which is on the regular). If you can imagine a delightfully buttery crust with the sweet scent of caramelised apples, this is what you get. Plus, it's calorie-free!
I'm a bit obsessed with cinnamon of late and have found myself adding it to everything- coffee, porridge, my usually cinnamon-free Banana Bread recipe. So it was probably unsurprising that Cinnamon Sugared Doughnut would be coming home with me too. Yes, it does indeed smell like a warm doughnut with that sugary, cinnamon-y hit.
Anyone else absolutely STARVING right now??
*drools*
And, three wicks each for a more even burn!
I got these (and my all important hand gels) in an outlet version of B&BW so they were a lot cheaper than usual but I think they're normally around the $22 mark each. I was lucky that we also had enough of a weight allowance on the way home that these weren't a problem in their glass jars and I was even luckier still that Himself masterfully rolled these up carefully in his jeans, so no breakages!
I think these can be shipped from the states but probably at an extortionate price.
These are definitely one to add to your shopping list if you're planning a trip stateside any time soon!
Have you tried any of the Bath & Body Works candles?
Any favourites?

I love Bath&body works candles. Right now, It's the spiced gingerbread one that smells very sugary too !

Oh my god, that sounds unreal!! I love gingerbread!!
DeleteThe students I took to the States in October went crazy in there! A lot of the smells were a bit too sweet for me but I was amazed by how many scents they had!
ReplyDeleteSome were too sweet for me too, and a few odd ones in there for sure but I got completely hooked by these!
DeleteI can almost smell them! I really wish we had B&Bworks here! xx

Me too! I keep thinking of getting them for people for Christmas and then remembering we don't have it here! waaaah!! xx
DeleteI love sweets, but I never really took to it in candle scents. I love the tart smelling candles. My absolute favorite is Island Margarita during the summer. Winter time has to be Frosted Cranberry. If I must have a sweet scent, then Hot Buttered Rum is the right amount of caramel and vanilla.
