Mmmmmm... I lit my first fall candle of 2013!This is a good day.
As a lover of pumpkin scents (and cupcakes in general!), I was immediately drawn to Pumpkin Cupcake at Bath & Body Works.
I... kind of went pumpkin crazy.
After checking out the store's website, I purchased 12 items, which is pretty easy to do with Bath & Body Works because of their good deals.
I ordered six Pumpkin Cupcake wallflowers and six Pumpkin Cupcake anti-bacterial deep cleansing soaps.
Then I figured 12 wasn't enough (ha!) so I got six more Pumpkin Cupcake wallflowers and two 3-wick Pumpkin Cupcake candles. I luckily had some good coupons. I highly recommend looking for them before purchasing.
WALLFLOWER FRAGRANCE BULB ($6 but currently 4 for $20 or 6 for $24)We have three wallflower plug-ins in our apartment: one in the dining area, bathroom and bedroom.
After plugging one in the dining room, I quickly decided this is a scent I only want in the kitchen/dining area. It's quite strong and... foodie?
It's just not something I want to wake up to in the bedroom. But I think it's a great fall/winter scent!
I exchanged six of the 12 wallflowers for Heirloom Pear. I'll use the other six Pumpkin Cupcake wallflowers in the dining area.
As I mentioned in my August Favorites post, Heirloom Pear smells just like Pure Seduction from Victoria's Secret!! So good.
DEEP CLEANSING SOAP ($5.50 but currently 5 for $15 or 7 for $20)
Pumpkin Cupcake as a soap is another story. I realized I don't like this scent as a soap. It doesn't smell totally like the candle or wallflower. It's a strange, soapy fake aroma. Blah.
My boyfriend doesn't mind it, so it's being used in the kitchen. I am planning to return the other five soaps and exchange them for something else.
My favorite Bath & Body Works scent EVER is Peach Bellini, but I believe that's only available in the warmer months.
I may pick up the Heirloom Pear soaps... Yes, great idea.
THREE-WICK CANDLE ($20 but often 2 for $20 or $22)
These are divine! I'm happy I picked this one up. Another pumpkin scent that I bet I'll love is Creamy Pumpkin. Wow, if I smelled that BEFORE getting Pumpkin Cupcake, I may have picked that instead!
Do they have it in a candle? I haven't seen it, but they should.
The throw on the Pumpkin Cupcake 3-wick candle is great! I have one candle going in the kitchen and it makes the whole living room/kitchen/dining area smell AMAZING.
We had to run out for dinner earlier, so we put it out for a bit. When we came back, the apartment smelled like we had baked pumpkin cupcakes.
I really have baked pumpkin cupcakes before, so I know how lovely it is. *swoon*
I highly recommend Pumpkin Cupcake as a candle more than anything. I'm looking forward to trying out other fall fragrances!
