Just a heads-up for White Barn Candle lovers... the RealEssence jars are on sale right now; I just picked up the small jars, which normally retail for $12.50, for $5.00 apiece, no limit!
This is a great opportunity to try out the RealEssence candles, which come in the same scents you can find in lotions and sprays at Bath & Body Works. I purchased Warm Vanilla Sugar, Coconut Lime Verbena, and Cotton Blossom.
I'm currently burning Warm Vanilla Sugar, the smell is great if just a little weak.

I LOVE White Barn Real Essence Candles. I have to wait for sales because the price is way over the top for me. They do have good sales when they have them. We don't have a White Barn at our local mall, but Bath and Body has quite a few to choose from. I think our B&B has even quit carrying the small size. In the 7.5oz. size I have tried:
Bartlett Pear- Awesome! Will scent my whole house.
Red Delicious- Great apple scent, which is my favorite scent of all time. very fresh...
Kitchen Spice- a great spicy scent, not very strong
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin- an awesome fall scent
Creamy Caramel- great scent, my hubby's favorite
In the 15oz size I have tried:
Spiced Cider- this was a gift and not one I would have gotten on my own, but a great fall scent.
Creamy Nutmeg- this is the only one I would not buy again, I am getting no scent from it at all, I should take it back, because the rest of the candles have been awesome and filled my home with some awesome scents. B&B is very good at taking items back if you are not satisfied.
I highly recommend these candles.
update...6/29...
I traded my Creamy Nutmeg for Blissful Blackberry and still no scent after it was lit for a few hours. I also got a large Cinnamon Stick as a gift and not much scent either... is anyone else having this problem?? I hate to keep returning, but they cost way too much to just sit around... I will just stay with the apple, pear and caramel, since I already know they are very nice. Thanks for listening!

For Mother's Day my hubby got me a gift basket from Bath & Body Works that had a White Barn Candle Co. Warm Vanilla Sugar candle in it. (I told him to just go to any Hallmark Store and get me any Yankee brand candle..but oh well, that is not the point here! lol)
The candle in inself was very nice looking. I like the jar it came in. I looked at the website and it was a 15 ounce candle that sells for $17.00. (on sale right now for $15)
The description on the website for the scent is: "A warm and comforting scent with vanilla, coconut, basmati rice and a touch of soft sandalwood. "
I liked this candle...just ok. It is not one that I would purposely go out and buy. I thought I could smell a cologne type smell in it, I guess that is the sandalwood. I don't particulary like any scent like that. I could smell the vanilla but not coconut. And basmati rice??? Well....I have no idea what that even smells like.....did not realize rice had a smell!!!
This candle has left residue down the sides as it has burned down. Which is not a big deal to me. Other than that, it has been burning fine.

Clean burn, no soot, pretty jar

Cons:

Weak throw, not double wicked, tunneling
|
|
I purchased the 16 oz. Real Essence jar in Sweet Pea during the half-yearly sale for $10. The cold throw smelled great but after lighting it for a few hours I could barely smell anything unless I was directly over the candle. I've read the other reviews so maybe it's just this particular scent? Also, since the jar only has one wick it has a hard time getting to the edges unless you burn it for hours which makes it inconvenient when you only want to light it for a couple hours. Wish it were double-wicked. On the plus side, it does burn cleanly and the jar is very pretty.

I have bought alot of candles from B&BW and I just can't get into them. I've bought sweet pea, peony, shore breeze, sweet cinnamon pumpkin, cinnamon vanilla and moonlight path which I like the most. I have also bought the hot apple pie, baked sugar cookie, guava passionfruit, and white cream from the True Temptations line. At first I loved all of these until I started to burn other companies candles. Of all these candles the best ones were baked sugar cookie, hot apple pie, sweet pea, moonlight path and shore breeze, which had a clean zest soap scent.
I would definitely buy elsewhere before spending the money on these candles.Try other candles and you will realize how these candles have a somewhat fake smell to them. I also bought marble cake and thought the scent throw was very weak!Sorry B&BW!
