Yankee candle new melt 4.28.13

Yankee has a new candle melt out ... a jar wax melt that is suppose to come out of the burner clean and easily when it cools.

That would be a fantastic idea if its true and it works....I must try these soon.

Kringle Candle Company Review: Petals in Water wax potpourri melt 4.26.13

Early yesterday afternoon I began melting this new scent: Petals in Water and let it burn for more than two hours

Definitely floral.  This melt has a very strong throw and the scent carried upstairs in no time with only using two pieces. That is exactly what I want in a melt.

The cold smell of this reminded me of  fabric softener on your clothes.  That perfume - flowery - reminds you of clean scent.   And warmed it was an intense version of that.  I smell the rose in it...and the musk.  I did not notice any fruit to it.  It is a beautiful combination, in increments.  The few hours I had this burning is enough at a time.  It left my house smelling lovely according to my husband....and who doesn't want to hear that.  :)

I would rebuy this and burn it at this time of year.

Happy scenting, and much love.

Kringle Candle Company Review: Royal Cherries wax potpourri melt 4.26.13

I started this candle melt this morning and in no time my house is filled with a smell of sweet cherries.  I really must say these candle potpourri melts are extremely fragrant and have a good throw to get the scent upstairs with just a few pieces.

I am also loving their tea lights performance.  I have purchased cheap tea lights to burn melts from stores like Walmart, Michaels and AC Moore and like it is said....you get what you pay for.

The cold scent of this melt is that of sweet cherries.  Warmed up, you can smell a hint of tartness...almost like a pie...but not enough to dampen the sweet.  It reminds me of candy and those things flavored cherry. 

I was burning this one in my kitchen today to check on just how far the scent would travel and in coming down the stairs I found this fragrance very pleasant.  When I popped the top off I was a bit hesitant. I didn't want my house smelling like cough medicine.  This is no way that kind of scent.

I used two pieces of the melt and found I have rooms full of fragrance.  This is definitely one I will rebuy as well as gift.

I am hoping to burn this and a vanilla melt together....as well as in two different units at the same time to see how they will blend.



Happy scenting, and much love.

Kringle Candle Company Review: Rosemary wax potpourri melt 4.25.13




When I finished enjoying the fresh baked bread this morning, I added a piece of the Rosemary melt to it as suggested. 

Smelling the Rosemary melt cold in the packaging I got the impression of it smelling herb like.  I grow Rosemary and I love that smell....and I find sometimes it is hard to replicate in candles and oils.

When I broke the piece off of the block immediately I thought it smelled like, Pine Sol to me.  That was my first impression.  I am not a big fan of Pine Sol cleaner and I really don't use it as it gives me a headache.

This melt was very strong, and in no time that fragrance filtered to the upstairs. 

When I ordered my 13 melts and day lights today I noticed there were a lot more herb scents that I plan to try.... especially the basil.

I plan to reburn more of this melt by itself without any other melts to see how I like it.  Right now, it is not one of my favorites.  I will update this blog on my next burn.



Happy scenting, and much love.

Kringle Candle Company Review: Fresh Baked Bread melt & burner

When I was a child growing up, one of my most fondest memories was that of visiting with my grandmother.  Her house was a typical nana house where the chairs seemed to be bigger than me, there seemed to be nic-nacs scattered on every possible surface and the smell of homemade foods filled the air. 

One of her favorite things to do was to make homemade bread.  Not in any new fangled (as she would call it) gadget....hers were made the old fashioned way....kneading and covering...rising and punching down....  And it didn't matter what she cooked with it; all we wanted was the bread and the stick of butter to rub over it.

As an adult I find I am reminded often of my grandmother when visiting the bakery or a store with an in house bakery.  You know that scent of fresh baking bread with your eyes closed as it wafts through the store finding you.  It is one of those scents that gets connected to a memory and reminds us of comfort and warmth.

About the Wax Potpourri Melt

New Kringle Wax Potpourri Melts are very easy to use and ultra-fragrant! Mix pieces of Wax Potpourri Melts from different fragrances to create unique aromatic blends.

Step 1. Remove Wax Potpourri cap and pop Melt out of container. Step 2. Break Melt into pieces and place in top bowl of your warmer. Step 3. Light a tea light in base of warmer. The scented wax above will melt and fill the room with fragrance.



These melts can be used in either a electric candle wax warmer or a tea light warmer.  The Kringle Candle Company provided me with one of their  warmers to try their potpourri melts and I did my test with both their warmer with one of their tea light candles as well as with my Yankee candle electric warmer.


This warmer is a three piece unit.  A base, screened side panel that snaps into place and the metal bowl at the top.  Blends in beautifully with my décor.  While I am sure the screened in area is safe, I choose to burn anything in another container to avoid accidents.  Also please note, the bowl of the unit gets very hot....(yes of course I touched it )   :)  so I would keep this away from pets and children while in use.



As you can see in comparison to their tea light candle, the wax potpourri melt is much bigger and is divided for ease in breaking apart and in combining scents.  In a note it was suggested I combine the fresh bread with the rosemary melt also included.  I will write about that next.




I put one piece in each of the burners and began the test at 8:19am.   In a matter of moments both wax cubes melted.  I added one more piece to each.

I found the tea light candle burned so perfectly, no flickering.

The tea light candle is atop of my living room television (2.5 story home) and the electric warmer is in the kitchen on the counter.

I wanted to see how long it would take to reach the upstairs and how strong it was.

In less than an hour, the tea light candle had the fragrance all the way up the stairs and to the bedrooms.  The kitchen warmer is not as good.  The scent was in the room but barely.  Definitely not the melts issue as this smelled beautifully cold, and the other warmer is releasing the scent perfectly.

Last night I made beef stew and my husband stopped off at the bakery to get fresh bread for dinner.  Burning this melt is the exact scent as was released when we opened up that breads paper wrapper.  This scent is not fake smelling, nor plastic like. 

It is still melting in both units and I will come back and update this blog when the tealight burns out.

This for me is a definite rebuy.  Currently I don't see it on the site but I will personally buy the daylight candle to see if the scent changes once a wick is used....

And I think this is a perfect candle to burn when guests are coming for a visit or for dinner.

Its scent is comforting and natural and isn't that what we want....  Our guests to feel welcomed like we did at our grandmothers?


Happy Scenting... and much love.

Kringle Candle Company Review: Peony 2 wick 4.24.13



To begin reviewing the Kringle Candle Companies candles I feel I must first tell you what was sent to me and how.

I received a box like you would get any product.




And when I opened it up I was met with some really great packaging materials.  It is no fun ordering candles or anything glass and finding inside the box....glass shards.  No one wants to call customer service.  We want to get our items in pristine condition and mine arrived perfectly.

There was the crate material atop of the items, which were surrounded with other crated pieces and plenty of packing peanuts. 

There was an invoice /packing slip enclosed with all of the items clearly listed as well as a colorful pamphlet to Discover the Kringle Candle Company.

Did you know that all of the Kringle Candles are handcrafted in the USA in Bernardston, Massachusetts?  I didn't.

They are also made solely white in color as to blend with all decorating settings.  That is interesting.  As a person who loves candles, I find I am interested in candles with colors that match their names and scents and I incorporate them into my decorating that way.

I tend to expect to see an orange candle with the name Pumpkin on it.  I suppose another one of those marketing choices I have been given over and over again that has become the norm.

According to the literature, one of the benefits of white wax is the candles glow more brightly and release the maximum amount of light.  Another benefit is they tend to burn cleaner with no conventional dyes to clog the wick.  An  interesting fact I look forward to seeing for myself.

Now for a review.

I received a 2 wick Kringle PEONY scent fragrant crystal pillar candle.  Here is a bit of information about it.






My candle:

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
 
  • Scent cold:  a very soft floral scent. 
 
  • Scent lit: This candle was very surprising.  I am accustomed to three wick candles and think that you need three wicks to get a great scent throw. I lit this candle and in a matter of a few minutes I could smell it throughout the downstairs.  I burn my jar candles in a tall glass cylinder for safety and that in no way inhibited this candles burn or throw.  In no time, this scent was throughout my entire house upstairs as well as downstairs. It has a strong scent lit.
 
  • initial burn time: I burned this for two hours total.  I will update this blog each time I burn the candle to get you a total time this lasted as well as how strong it stayed throughout its duration.
 
  • the wicks burned perfectly straight in the jar and are thin in size.  The wax pooled perfectly as you can see in the pictures. No tunneling occurred during the burn and as the candle cooled when extinguished the wax stayed white in color.
 
  • labeling/marketing: the label is white, trimmed with a silver and a black border. a pink peony flower and the name in script. The bottom label has simple instructions and a name along with the companies website.  The candle lid is silver metal with a round sticker label.
 
  • the peony scent is a beautiful spring scent and very reminiscent to the actual flower.  My neighbor grows peonies and I can smell their scent wafting in my kitchen windows when they bloom.  After the candle was extinguished now for 3 hours, I went downstairs and the sweet floral scent is still in the rooms.  And while it was burning and my husband came home and smelled it, he remarked how beautiful the house smelled.  That, alone is saying something since he is not a candle guy.
 
  • 14 oz.   55 hr
 
  • rebuy or deny:  I would definitely rebuy this candle.
If you would like to try this or any other candle, feel free to use code:  KringleReview63 to get free shipping on any dollar amount purchased.
 
I am going to try a different candle tonight...and will write it up tomorrow...
 
Happy scenting and much love...

I Love Fragrance. 

Who among us doesn't right?  It is part of our daily lives....and one of our greatest senses that we depend on for everything. 

To reflect the mood of our daily personality in fragrance, to finding comfort within our homes,  we seek out those things that showcase us and appeal to us....scent-tually.

And walk into any store and you will find products to entice you to try them based on your sense of smell and the marketing chosen.

I write a lot of blogs and if your reading me you know I speak a lot about marketing.  I want the product to look great on the outside....as well as perform perfectly.  And personally,  I find that I am
drawn to those that make that extra effort in pleasing their customers. 

There are numerous companies that make candles....we all know that.  Finding what you love in a candle company is sometimes hit or miss...we know that too.  That's where social media helps. 

I laugh sometimes when I sit at night and read all of the updates as they come in from the various pages to my home page.  How on earth did we ever get along without Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest? 

Sure there are magazines that offer us a glimpse into something a company is going to offer us....but we want the info NOW.  We want to know what our friends are doing, what they are liking and not liking....and we want what they want.  And they speak of their experience.  If a candle has a great smell, they will tell you....and stock up.  And if it is not good...you will know that too.

So, you find something and give it a try.

We have our favorites as well.  Those companies that we entrust our hard earned dollars on products that we hope we will love...regardless of past performances.  And we may see other brands and not know too much about them and hesitate to try the unknown.

Monday I read on the Kringle Candle Companies facebook page that they were looking for bloggers to review some of their products.

I responded to them and early this morning, my favorite big brown truck surprised me with what I can only say was a very generous offering of products from their candle lines.

And all I could think was how did I ever miss out on trying this brand?

Let me begin by saying this.  My reviews and opinions will be done honestly as they always are.  They will not be based on having received these products as a gift. 

Granted, my liking a certain scent over another is based on what my personal likes and dislikes are and of course what I may love...another may not.

I will always share as much information I can about a product so you too can make an informed decision if you want to try it.

Should you want to try it for yourself, feel free to use this code   KringleReview63  to get free shipping for your online order.  I know just with cold smelling a few of these I am going to be placing an order. 

I have already been trying out a few products and I will be writing out my thoughts and findings in the next few blogs.

Below is a quick peek at some of their products....

Happy scenting....and much love.
