I uploaded this candle out of spite. I got it at a thrift store and according to the Internet it has never been made or sold by Walmart and it doesn't even show up under reverse image searches. It's a basic vanilla candle that smells sort of vaguely vanilla bean - vanilla cinnamon - vanilla coffee, I was honestly just guessing on what note the 'twist' part was supposed to be. The wax is a really pretty cream to brown ombre that seems pretty unique (and yet again I was unable to find record of this candle ever existing.) The tunnelling on this candle is crazy though (I bought it unlit), which is something I've heard from newer Mainstays candles too (I'm assuming this is by Mainstays but it is only listed as being sold by Walmart.)

I don't get much of an orange peel scent from this, mostly pumpkin, vanilla, and spices. It's quite heavy on the spices to the point it makes my nose tingle if I burn it too long while sitting close to it. It's the perfect mixture of spice to balance out the sweet, it doesn't smell too artificial or dessert-like. It is rare for me to like an autumn or gourmand scented candle this much. This scent is also labelled as Harvest Pumpkin, Pumpkin Delight, and I think a few others. Unfortunately, I believe it is discontinued along with all other candles from this brand, but you can find it at most department stores!

I only own these as wax melts, but I'll hopefully get a full candle once Valentine's rolls back around. This is one of my favourite gourmand scents ever!! It sort of smells like strawberry white chocolate to me, while it does have a baked goods undertone (the fragrance is listed as "strawberry shortcake") it's a bit more sweet than the saltier undertone you might normally get with pastry scents. Tuscany has a really good Valentine's collection and all of them smell like actual desserts.

I truly, genuinely could not tell you why I bought this candle. I spent probably about 40 minutes in Homegoods sniffing every single candle to find the perfect one and this is what I came home with. It has an interesting, floral citrus woody cologne scent, and for maybe the first five hours or so of burntime I was able to delude myself into thinking it was a delightful aquatic scent. I took a break from burning it to try a different candle, and now the smell of it genuinely nauseates me. It really does smell like cologne to the point that I don't think this scent should have ever been placed into a candle and instead confined to reed diffusers and spray colognes. It is so pungent that I have had to exile it to the living room from my bedroom. Two stars for not have a Completely unforgivable scent and for also having a really beautiful vessel.

This candle undoubtedly smells like men's cologne. However, I like the smell of men's cologne. It really does have a smokey, firewood twang to it that adds warmth and depth to it, along with some sort of ozone afterscent that makes you feel like you're at a bonfire at night. This is an excellent candle to burn and fill the room with and just bask in its scent, perfect for the cold months. Tuscany Candle sells three "masculine" scented candles in this collection and this is by far the best one-- the other two I have not burned but their cold throws at the store are near nauseating. Three stars because it's not as complex as it could be and definitely cologne-esque, but this will definitely be a rare repeat buy for me.

If you like strong florals, this is an excellent candle for you. If you don't like strong florals (like me) it's still pretty tolerable? It's a pretty strong, solid single-note lilac scent and I would hesitate to use words like "soft" or "delicate" to describe it, but it doesn't smell too cloying or artificial. If you need your entire house to smell fresh and clean as quickly as possible, this is the candle to burn. My roommate owns this candle and has been buying it on repeat for years, and it's also a recurring seasonal scent of B&BW, so it is definitely loved by many.

This is SUCH a nice vanilla scent, definitely my favourite of all the hundreds of vanilla bean candles out there. The scent is the perfect intensity and it has a robust, warm smell that isn't too nauseatingly sweet but smells delicious. It reminds me of vanilla eggnog or horchata or bougie cinnamon-covered pastries as opposed to more sugary comparisons like ice cream or buttercream. The vodka and spice notes complement the primary vanilla bean note perfectly.

I normally hate burning candles in bathrooms due to fire concerns and smells becoming overwhelming in small enclosed spaces, but this is The candle to burn while you're taking a shower. Cold throw is like catching a whiff of an expensive delicate European lemonade and hot throw is like being at a spa. It's listed as having citrusy and woodsy notes but these are undetectable-- it's pure florals, though the rose thankfully doesn't overwhelm the overall scent. The vessel is also really nice-- it's hard to tell in online photos but the glass is unusually thick and it gives it an artisan feel along with the nice lavender colour. I will definitely be reusing it for something else after I've finished with it.

It is not surprising that this candle was discontinued by Target and I was able to buy a 20 oz candle for $5. It is however, surprising that I am bothering to review and add this candle to the site despite this. It's wild how little scent is contained in a huge 20 oz jar. The cold throw is so incredibly faint, and the hot throw is similarly faint unless you burn it for far beyond the recommended timeframe, at which point it begins to build a mildly nauseating cloud of artificial tea, which vanishes almost immediately after putting it out. The scent itself is nothing to write home about, but it isn't initially unpleasant, smelling definitely Green Leaf Scented of some variety but not quite natural. I could find almost no information on the notes for this candle, and I'm pretty sure it's probably just a single note candle. I think this candle (and similar green leaf notes) might be nice to burn in a kitchen to cover up foul odours, and this may be the only suitable location for it, as it has a basically net zero effect when burned in large open spaces like living rooms and makes one feel slightly sick when burned in small enclosed areas.

This candle is sadly discontinued, reaching the same fate as most Target candles. It has really beautiful packaging (an iridescent blue jar with nice lettering) that does not seem to match up with the scent at all. Nor does the name seem to match up with the scent that well. It's a mild, soft and slightly sweet orange amber scent that takes a while to build up in the air after burning. It does have a little bit of that tell-tale artificial Target tang to it, but I am also just particularly sensitive when it comes to natural fragrances. I don't feel like the oud comes out that well. I got it in October and it made for a nice fresh scent during the colder months without feeling too citrusy or tropical. I burned it in my living room mostly which was a mistake, as it doesn't have a super strong hot throw.

Moonlight Path is a pretty old B&B scent, being released in 2007 and still continually sold. I thrifted an older candle of this and I will say that I have seen some sources online that say the newer scent is slightly different, but others don't seem to think it has changed. I usually dislike B&B candles and heavy florals, but this candle is absolutely wonderful and sits perfectly on the line between being too faint and too overwhelming (though this might be different in perfume/spray form or in newer candles). It has an old-school, soft powdery floral scent, like an older woman's perfume. I've always thought that it smells exactly like my grandmother's English garden cottage!

This is a great candle if you have a sentimental attachment to the smell of the original Little Trees car air fresheners or you want to cover up strong smells in your home. Otherwise I would not recommend it, it is heavily artificial smelling and basically none of the other notes it contains are distinguishable from the sheer overwhelming pine.

I love this candle so bad you have no idea. I've been buying it consistently for probably six years at this point? It's one of the most calming scents I've ever smelled and instantly puts me in a better mood when I burn it. I associate it with my boyfriend for some reason even though he smells nothing like this? I've seen others online say that the notes don't seem to full match up with what it actually smells like (and I agree). To me this candle sort of smells like cashmere or soft fabric in candle form (need to compare this candle's scent to actual cashmere/light musk fragrance oil whenever I get some.) It's light and sweet but with the added weight of some musk. Having tested quite a lot of them, this is honestly the only Target-brand candle worth buying.

This is a wooden wick candle with a clean, natural scent. It is creamy and tropical but not overwhelmingly so. It moreso gives the vibes of being at a peaceful tropical resort than an actual ocean-scented candle. The notes blend together pretty well and I couldn't particularly distinguish any as being stronger than the other. I personally wish the scent was stronger as it is pretty mild, but I really enjoyed how organic and soothing it smelled.
