Wax Luvs Wicks

Think about cutting a freshly baked loaf of banana bread…it’s moist, warm, fruity and sweet.  I get a really ripe banana note, which is what I use when I make banana bread…it’s actually the reason I make banana bread just to use up the bananas I purchased.  I think there might be a little brown sugar in the mix. It’s simple yet delicious! I just want to put a pat of butter on this and pour a glass of milk or cup of coffee.

  This was super strong!  I only used 1 piece and it filled my house with sweet bread and fresh bananas.  I was pleasantly surprised!  Usually I’m skeptical about scents with banana in them sometimes they smell like Runts candies, but not this.

  I feel that Kringle does a wonderful job making their scents very authentic. 

Kringle describes this fragrance as:

The rich homey fragrance of oven-fresh banana bread is captured perfectly.  A must sniff.

I received a box of goodies from Kringle today.  I was super surprised to find what was in it!  Before I share everything I want to tell you a little about the company.

 First and foremost Kringle is not in business with Yankee.  The short version of this story is…  Mike Kittredge II started Yankee in 1969 and sold the company in 1998 then retired from the candle industry.  Michael “Mick” Kittredge III started Kringle Candle Company in 2009 as part of a college course…how cool is that!  That’s really the only connection that can be made.  Yankee was out of the picture before Kringle was even born.

 

 

Why the white wax and what kind of wax is it?

The white wax is actually the concept Michael “Mick” Kittredge III came up with…it will match any décor no matter which fragrance you pick…there for it won’t clash with your interior tastes.  Also the white wax burns brighter and cleaner since there are no dyes in the wax to interfere with the wick.

**A personal thought on the white wax is I am not paying extra money for dyes.

The wax used at Kringle is 100% food grade paraffin.  To learn more about the differences of soy and paraffin click –> here

 

My package included: 5 Wax Potpourri Melts ($3 a piece), 5 Daylights ($3 a piece), 2 Air Fresheners ($2.99 a piece), 2 Wick Crystal Pillar ($24), Medium Classic Apothecary Jar ($20), Wax Potpourri warmer ($19.95)

 

The Wax Potpourri Melts

The wax potpourri melts are a great way to fill your home with fragrance!  They are easy to break apart so blending scents is a breeze.  Think of all the possibilities!  You don’t have to save half pieces in a plastic bag…just break off what you need and put the rest back in the container for another day! 

$3 a piece

 

 

 

 

DayLights

Don’t be fooled by its size, this little baby can really hold its own.  Daylights are a twelve hour candle (which is how they got their name because they last all day).  These candles are great for small places or traveling and have a surprisingly strong throw. 

$3 a piece

 

 

 

Crystal Pillars

This is a two wick crystal pillar in the scent Mango.  Two wick crystal pillars is preferred by those seeking extra fragrance power.  Remember multiple wicks make for a nice even wax pool in the larger candles. 

4.5” = $21 Burn time = 65 Hours

6” = $25 Burn time = 85 Hours

7.5” = $26 Burn time = 130 Hours

2 wick  small = $24 Burn time = 55 Hours

2 wick large = $28 Burn time = 100 Hours

3 wick = $17 Burn time = 25 Hours

 

Classic Apothecary Jars

 

A lovely classic design!  This is a medium Classic Apothecary Jar in the fragrance Citrus and Sage.  This is the most popular style and represents the core of the Kringle line.

Small = $10  Burn time = 15 Hours

Medium = $20 Burn time = 50 Hours

Large = $24 Burn time = 95 Hours

 

 

 

 

Air Fresheners

 

These air fresheners are great for any location where you aren’t allowed to have a flame like closets, storage cabinets, or areas that are designated for pets. 

 

Wax Potpourri Warmer

 

This tea light warmer is one of my favorites!!  It has a detachable bowl on the top which makes cleaning a breeze!  It comes in two different colors black (seen in the picture) and chrome.

$19.95

I recently placed an order with Kringle Candle Company and picked up Brownie Cheesecake.  I haven’t tried this fragrance before but I figured I really like their hot chocolate scent (I will review that soon) so this one has to be good as well.  I think chocolate is a difficult fragrance to capture.  It comes off as overly sweet, fake, and just not authentic.  I do believe that Kringle just gets it.  At first, I wasn’t sure on a cold throw sniff.  I wasn’t even sure what it was, I couldn’t smell any thing amazing about it.  I could make out that it was sweet and bakery like but that’s about it.  Once I lit this candle, however, it totally took me by surprise!  This is a delicious fragrance, sweet chocolate brownies, rich and decadent, creamy notes for the cheesecake.  Perfect!  I absolutely love it!!  If I could have this burning in my house all the time, day and night, I totally would!  I have even had friends and family over asking me what I was baking and that my house smells so good. Delicious!

Kringle describes this fragrance as:

 

Some might say “sinful” but we prefer to say “spot-on”! This is pure deliciousness in a jar.

I purchased this scent not too long ago and pulled it out of the drawer today to give it a go.  I LOVE me some lemon scents as most of you already know.. especially ones that are bakery!  I wasn’t really sure about this when I ordered it since it had coconut in it.  I don’t want my house to smell like I have oiled up for a day long tanning session. Wow was I impressed once I melted this…it’s now one of my favorites!  If you are worried that it’s going to be over powering it is….in the best way possible!  Bakery lemony goodness!  I dropped in two cubes and it lasted for hours.  It didn’t even die down … I was in the house all day with it warming and I could smell it the whole time.  Most of the time when I have something going all day I get use to it and don’t smell it after a while.  Not the case with this.  I will for sure order more of this!  The good news is it’s not part of the Bring Back My Bar sale…so I can get it any time of year.  Which is not the case for Cutiepie Cupcake (my all time fave).  Perfect in every way and I wish I had purchased this from the beginning!

 

Scentsy’s description of this fragrance is

“Melt-in-your mouth lemon custard layered with butter cake and sprinkled with toasted coconut.”

Can't wait to melt/burn them :D. Most are just repurchases but I'm happy to have some of the new scents as well. I'll make sure to write a review =)

I picked up Bunny Cake during the $1 Tarts and Votives sale at Yankee Candle. I was super excited to see this since my family has made a bunny cake for as long as I can remember and it was very much a cake covered in coconut!  We used to leave an ear without coconut because my sister has never been a big fan of it.  On a cold sniff I haven’t really gotten a lot of bakery or anything. It’s more of a vanilla/coconut smell.  I really am picky about this mixture since I don’t want it smelling like body lotion I have tried in the past (and hated with a passion).  I am hoping the citrus notes will make it more yellow cake meets bakery coconut with hints of citrus.  Bright and just down right makes you happy to eat it =). 

Yankee Candle describes this fragrance as

“A delicious way to hop into spring . . . a sweet treat of sugary coconut, creamy vanilla and bright citrus.”

After burning this votive I have come to the conclusion that it smells like flowers or soaps and not the bakery I was anticipating.  I am not sure why.  I will end up burning all three of the votives I purchased to see if this one was just sitting to close to another fragrance in the box and became a mix of that scent.  As for now, I don’t care for it.  I read mixed reviews for this scent before I even received my order.  I would rather it be super sugary sweet than smell like soap.
