I love this company! Amazing array of candle fragrances, excellent customer service, efficient shipping. I purchased the "Let It Snow" candle as a gift for my snow-loving friend, and I will definitely be back for more!
We love this one! Our guess is pistachio, almond, jasmine, heliotrope (had to look that up 🤣), caramel, and sandalwood!
That is my guess!! Also all the candles are amazing!! Scents are wild!!
I have to give a warning for this candle: it will make you think fondly of the bowling alley. Do not fall for its wiles. Yes, it smells like pine and shoe squeaks and vices, and you'll think to yourself "The bowling alley! What a fun time, I should go" and go you do, and no sooner does this candle leave your nose that you regret your decision. You can't smoke in the bowling alley anymore, no one is wearing silly patterned shirts and talking smack, and half of the complex has been replaced by an arcade featuring the Angry Birds game and claw machines with Bitcoin prizes. Sure, there's beer, and you can still bowl, but this isn't The Big Lebowski - your fellow "teams" are awkward bored couples and gaggles of employees on a "team-building" exercise who sip Blue Moons and wouldn't dare whoop or pump their fist. No, you're better off at home, where you can burn this candle and think of childhood birthday parties that included puffs of menthols over the cake and at least one blue-collar father losing his cool at the video poker game in the corner.
They never told me that the candle-buyer rabbithole, candlehole, goes so deep. It's November. I've exhausted whatever caramel-apple-cinnamon-spice-expletive candles I had laying around and was ready to move on. The vibes! All to chase the vibes; the vibes you're supposed to feel during the fall, and now winter, and on and on, candle after candle on the shelf of TJ Maxx regurgitating the same hashtag cozy sweater weather profiles you see everywhere else. It had to get weird. I was going crazy. And like a sick animal that starts to recklessly eat things it knows are not food, I began just idly searching for "weird" candles. I wanted the booger-flavored jelly bean of candles. I wanted the Burger King Rugrats Movie scratch-n-sniff board of candles, and I thought I had found it with Video Store. That's not to say I thought Video Store would smell bad, but that it would have to be so inimitably unique that to not smell it was to never smell anything like it short of busting down the door of the old Sunset Video and taking a deep breath. I was right. This candle lives and breathes 6:30pm trips to the video store where you were allowed to pick out ONE Super Nintendo game (your brother cried if you didn't pick Primal Rage) and one movie (mom said you can't watch The Exorcist in her house) to keep you busy for the rest of the night. Maybe because you were so short, so close to the ground, you remember how the carpet smelled. Shoe sweat, spilled popcorn from the counter, something vaguely clean but also not something you'd want to touch your hand to. It's as familiar as it is strange and it charms you with the balance. I like to burn it while I play video games - no Super Nintendo this time, but the vibes are immaculate.
I suppose it's my hip Daria-like non-conformism that keeps me from picking up most candles that are pink and have sweet names like "Love At First Sight", but I'm very glad this one was my freebie with my shipment. Fruit candles have the weakest auras, in my opinion, because they just sort of end up smelling like "food that is sweet" and they (you know, "they", Big Candle) know consumers will just buy it because they're promised some kind of sugar high and it's pink and cute and romantic. This is a candle made with intent, however, and respect for sweetness and fruit without giving me something that smells like children's lip gloss. I would gladly burn this for any occasion, but especially when I need a cheerful boost.
When I was 8 my aunt had to hose me off in the polebarn because I slipped in horse pucky. The barn was where everyone stood to smoke Marlboro Reds and the cheap timber held that smell, and every once in a while a horse would be naughty and tip the giant bin of dry dog food, and that would become saturated with General Liquid Barn Filth as it was mashed into the mix of the mud. So I'm standing there covered in excrement, wincing against the freezing penny-sour hose water, standing on mildewed kibble, in a tinderbox infused with the scent of the only warm outdoor corner of a gas station, or perhaps a casino that specializes in dog poker. This candle is not that experience. This is when you go to an autumn barn wedding feeling giddy in your Amazon-ordered cowboy hat and are met with the fresh sweetness of cinnamon broomsticks and crafty haypiles and yes, horses, yes of course, and the earth of a well-maintained farm - it's pleasant, rugged, it makes you want to put on some boots, you feel out of doors and yet you've never been more inclined to stay at home.
I think the scent is
cinnamon, nutmeg, brandy, eggnog, custard, caramel
Tash has the best smelling candles I love every scent I've smelled!!!
I wanted a pickle smell and i got one. My students love playing “guess the scent” when they come to my classroom as they get a sugar cube if they’re correct. Yes a sugar cube…long story. Anyhow, I wanted unusual scents to blame on the classroom elf “Fezzik”. They may not remember how to add fractions or how to make a simple circuit, but they’ll never forget the “guess the scent game” and the time the class elf made the whole room smell like pickles.
Right now it is a start of a winter advisory of where I live. While this hat is the perfect feel to add to the upcoming holiday, with the brutal winds and chills, my head and ears are still kept being warm!
Has a lovely smell, fresh and earthy. Perfect with a cup of tea.
Or a glass of whisky.
Batch #Oct.1.25.
My guess is black currant, pear, jasmine, cream, freesia, amber, patchouli!
The amber is most prominent, followed by berry notes. Tiny hint of freesia! Very reminiscent of my favorite body sprays when I was younger. :)
Hey thanks for taking the time to play our game! I have contacted you to let you know the true answer for your Guess the Scent :) Have a great day
Perfect sample size, and a really unique scent! You can really smell the popcorn, and it gives kind of a movie theater vibe.
Batch Oct.1.25
My guess is Bergamot/Sea Salt/Lily/Violet/Musk/Sandalwood/Amber.

I’ll keep this short and sweet - This bad boy smells like straight nostalgia. Highly recommend 🤙🏻
Just amazing! Really does smell like electronics but in a very pleasant way. Great throw which quickly filled my bedroom and lingered after being turned off.
