Bath & Body Works: Candles & Wallflowers ~ Review

I have been going to Bath & Body Works for years but usually only for lotions, lip balms, body butters, and liquid soaps.  I know my girlfriends purchase their Candles and Wallflowers and now I know why.

BBW's goal is to bring the tropics to you.  They want to turn your home into a tropical oasis, as if you are sitting by the beach, relaxing, drinking a refreshing cocktail, and soaking up some sun without leaving your home.  This collection comes in either candles or fragrance bulbs.  Their candles comes in 3 sizes - mini (1.3 oz), small (4oz), and 3 wick (14.5 oz).  The Wallflower plugs are needed for the fragrance bulbs and they could last up to 8 weeks.  I was advised that their new fragrance bulb has been improved - loaded with more fragrance that would last longer than before.

Fragrances:
  • Palm Beach Cooler
  • Poolside (3 Wick Only)
  • Tiki Beach
  • Caribbean Escape
  • Coconut Leaves
  • Pink Sangria
  • Peah Bellini
  • Bahama Fizz (3 Wick Only)
  • Island Margarita
  • Oceanside (3 Wick Only)
  • Beach Cabana
Wallflower fragrance plugs - designed to complement the collection and add decor to any room
  • Tipped Flowers (white, turquoise, pink)
  • Shell Night Light
  • Patina Turtle
I had the opportunity to try a few of their New Tropical Collection.  I received their Tiki Beach in a candle, a White Tipped Wallflowers Fragrance plug with two fragrance bulb - Tiki Beach and Beach Cabana.

The scent I received smells fantastic.  I really like the fragrance bulb.  I had it plugged in my kitchen over night and in the morning the whole room smelled like it was filled with flowers.  The Tiki Beach has scents of toasted coconut, vanilla musk, and orchids.  The Beach Cabana has a scent of rich jasmine and orange blossom.  I never had the Wallflower before and I think they are much better than before.

  12. I especially love the look of the wallflower, something different and attractive too - looks rather like a large brooch from the 50s. The fragrances sound delightful, I'm none too sure which I'd like best.

  13. I should have stocked up on these in the summer so now that it is -36 C I could pull them out and pretend! :)
