Ever since I've started Candle Find, I've noticed that White Barn Candles seem to be really well-known among candle lovers. I wanted to see what all the fuss what about, so I splurged a few months ago and bought one of their small glass container candles from Bath & Body Works. The candle is from their True Temptations collection in their Marble Cake scent.
When I first lit this candle, I couldn't believe the scent coming from this candle. It's smells SO good and SO authentic...just like a marble cake is baking in the oven. I just love burning this candle. Everytime I burn it, I find myself in this wonderful smelling marble cake cloud of yummy-ness. My mom was over once when I was burning it and she said, "that candle smells just like there's marble cake baking here!" Hey, it's pretty cool...I can make my guests think I've been slaving over a hot stove...without having to do anything but light a wick! That sounds good to me.
I want to buy more candles from White Barn just to get a better feel for their scent selection. My little candle was a bit pricey and I have so many candles in my living room that need to be reviewed, so I keep putting off buying more, but I'll get around to it one of these days. So far, I recommend White Barn Candles!

Later addition to review - Just wanted to say I tried their Orange Ginger aromatherapy candle tin....I love it! I never thought I'd enjoy the smell of ginger, but it's pretty cool and I kind of felt invigorated when I was burning it. It's more heavy on the ginger than it is on the orange. So far, I am loving White Barn Candles!

I agree with Carolyn and recommend this line. In fact, if anyone is a pumpkin fffffffreak like I am, try their Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin because it is actually the best pumpkin I've found. I've tried many of them and I'm very very picky! Their pumpkin so so true and so beautiful to fill your home with during the fall harvest. I got my mother hooked on it and all of her friends wonder what she's got going on because he home always smells so great.
It has been so long since I've bought one I don't remember the prices. I guess I'll find out this fall when I have my pumpkin craze again!
Edit was made:
I tried the Marble Cake candle and it is just as wonderful as the reviewer on here stated. It and my Sweet Pumpkin Spice are two of my favorite candles. I will try more of their line when I get a chance because so far they are batting 2 for 2.

When I first lit my 15 oz. Real Essence jar candle, I was surprised how fragrant it was. The first scent I had was Moonlight Path, which I highly recommend if you like the rest of this line at Bath and Body Works. Now I am addicted to Bartlett Pear which will permeate any room. Although these candles are a bit expensive at about 17.50 for a 15 oz. candle (unless you hit a BBW sale!), they are worth it. They burn a relatively long time for their size.

Drowning wick/weak flame, uneven burn

This review is for the White Barn New York line of candles available at Bath and Body Works.
I recently purchased the 22oz. "True Temptations Marble Cake" scented candle and wow, it smells wonderful. I absolutely love the packaging - a nice frosted jar that looks like a simple cylinder with a very cute almost retro style label, and a flat sleek silver topper - very modern looking and attractive packaging vs. the more traditional country looking jar type candles. The packaging of the candle gets an A+ from me.
When burning this candle, I could really smell the realistic marble cake smell throughout my downstairs. I was very pleased with the scent throw. The fact that the candle has 3 wicks is very nice.
However, even with 3 wicks this candle produced a very weak flame and had a "drowning wick" problem, which resulted in tunneling and a few times, the flames extinguishing themselves in the wax. No matter what I did to try and help the candle along, even pouring out some wax as suggested online when I searched for help, this candle continued to have a weak flame. From what I've researched online, a weak flame can likely be caused by the wicks being too small/thin for the size of the candle. Perhaps if they'd used thicker wicks the candle would have burned perfect.
I called Bath and Body and they were more than happy to take the candle back. Thinking I got a bad batch, I bought another, but the same thing happened with the wicks. On another board it was mentioned that White Barn has had this problem before, hopefully, they will fix it soon because the candle itself smelled divine and the scent throw, when it WOULD burn okay, it was very good. If I didn't experience the wick problem, I'd have rated this a 10.

I really like the White Barn Candles. I have burned several, and love their jars. At Christmas they sell the Vanilla Bean Noel, which is to die for. I actually went online to Bath & Body works and bought 2 of them after Christmas, love that scent. I also like the fall scents they have, pumpkin, apple and a few years ago they had the Maple, which was my fav. Creamy Nutmeg is great also. I have burned several of these, the scent throw is good, and most of the time they burn fairly well. I recommend these candles
