Okay so as soon as I heard this was coming out I had to pick it up. I totally love lemon scents as we all know (and if you are new to the blog, I love Love LOVE lemon scents) so this was a must for me. Of course it’s a bright yellow candle and I believe it to be apart of the Italian line that came out this spring. Now, having tried this candle and other various lemon candles that BBW has put out, I have to say I think this candle smells like another lemon candle that has been out. Perhaps it’s not the SAME but it’s pretty close. Seriously, it reminds me a lot of Fresh Lemon. It’s sweet lemon. Not a lemonade but something less tart. I really don’t care because I loved it! Now I didn’t go crazy and stock up but I did grab a couple of them (just to keep on hand). Let me tell you about this candle’s throw….WOW! I swear sometimes these BBW candles fill my whole house and this one is no exception! I actually had to blow it out and give it a rest (which is pretty awesome if I must say). BBW described this scent as:
"Cheers! Notes of Sorrento lemons, cane sugar and a hint of lemon zest capture Italy's beloved after-dinner liqueur, Limoncello.”
Rating (0-5):
Throw: Strong
Worth It:absolutely!
“Two classic scents that play well together. Honest, rich Vanilla meets one of the great understated florals.”
Rating (0-5):
Throw: Medium
Worth It: Yes. I’m not too crazy about lavender, it has to be just the right kind. I did enjoy this one
!
Alright so here’s what I picked up from Yankee!
Jars
6 Shortbread Cookie
2 Oatmeal Cookie
3 Key Lime Pie
2 Lemon Zest
2 Star Fruit and Orange
4 Be Thankful
1 Berry Jam
1 Country Kitchen Line – Chocolate Cake
2 Country Kitchen Line – Fresh Baked Goods
I didn’t go TOO over board …just picked up a lot of shortbread cookie since it’s one of my favorites! I actually didn’t buy any tarts nor did I pick up any accessories. There wasn’t much that I wanted this go around. Did you go to the SAS? Did you pick up anything? I am going to head back to the store next week and grab the fall scents to review.
I went to Walmart and I always check out their candle selection, I guess I think I’m going to stumble upon something truly amazing. I found what a lemon bakery candle! I was so excited and without hesitation I picked up four of the three wick 11.5 oz candles (retail for $3.50 a piece). Seriously where could go wrong for the price and it smelled decent on a cold sniff.
Immediately when I arrived home I pulled out one of the candles and lit it. I was so excited to find out what it was going to smell like. The description on Walmart’s website says
“Mainstays Lemon Cake Candle is light and deliciously sweet. Sugared lemon cupcakes embellished with tangy touches of lemon zest and fluffy accents of whipped citrus vanilla frosting.”
Rating (0-5): 
Throw: medium. It actually put out a decent throw, I could smell it over some of the other candles I had going.
Worth It: I would almost say I rather buy this just to melt it on my hot plate.
