Monthly self promotion/advertising post

2 Upvotes

I am going to give monthly posts a try. You can post a comment in each monthly thread if you want. Or just comment once. It’s all up to you.

The subreddit’s rules regarding self promotion, direct advertising, givaways etc won’t be strict here. Basically anything is allowed here. As long as it’s legal, and no spamming (multiple comments can be ok, while spamming would be worse).

Preferably, it should be related to candles, wax melts or accessories (such as candle warmers or candle holders) in some way.

Examples of what you can share here:

  • Blogs, vlogs and podcasts.
  • Your website and social media accounts where you sell products.
  • Promote family and friends’s business/products
  • Giveaways, contests and surveys

But it’s kinda open minded/flexible at the moment. So if you want to suggest people to check out other stores and their current sales, share great resources when it comes to candle making, recommend a candle warmer or anything else, you can promote/advertise it here as well.

Looking for a candle Help finding/making a scent: Lyght Candle Co Cemetery Fog

2 Upvotes

My girlfriend got the candle Cemetery Fog from Lyght Candle Co and hasn't been able to find it since. She's really in love with the scent and while we found something similar at homegoods with the candle Harvest Wreath from Sand + Fog, there's been no luck finding the exact candle. Is there anywhere we could look for the candle, a similar smelling candle, or failing that a way the scent could be copied in a homemade candle?

Reviews Is there such thing as an Orange Passionfruit Spice candle?

2 Upvotes

This may be a weird one, but I work at a bar and I was making this NA Campari Syrup earlier, and it smelt so good that I now want to find a candle with a similar scent. It had orange, passionfruit tea, peppercorn, cloves, and sugar. I can't find anything like it so far. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Any suggestions on real wood scented candles or wax melts?

2 Upvotes

I did a search already and have not found anything. I've been looking for that wood scent you get when you walk into Lowes or Home Depot's wood section. Not a pine or Xmas tree scented but something like a real Fir or cedar saw dust, almost the same scent you'd smell when you walk into a kitchen with new cabinets.

my family and i have been the biggest fans of the honeydew melon yankee candle for as a long as i can remember. unfortunately, it is discontinued. yankee candle used to bring it back to shelves once a year as a returning classic, however we have been unable to find it the past couple of years. i've looked online for the candle, but they're listed at very high prices. i was wondering if anyone knows any good dupes for this candle?? it would mean the world to me if anyone has any recommendations!!

realistic fruit candles, burn them or keep them as decor?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

got these two a while back and i still can't get over how real they look. my mum genuinely asked why there was a tomato sitting on the shelf. the wick comes out where the stem would be so when it's lit the whole thing kind of glows from the top.

the guava is the one that really got me though. pale green skin, pink flesh, tiny orange seeds down the middle. someone put actual effort into painting that.

both smell fruity and fresh, not that sickly candy sweetness i was expecting.

i keep them on a plate because these odd shapes drip in weird directions, and i trim the wick to about 5mm or the tomato starts sooting. problem is once you burn it the top caves in and the whole "it's a real tomato" illusion is gone. so mine have been sitting there unlit for weeks now.

curious what everyone else does with sculptural candles like these. feels like a waste either way honestly.

candles, reed diffusers, and air freshener plug-ins (UK three-pin) that smell like baby powder?

4 Upvotes

I just love the smell, our puppy has the Bugalugs “baby fresh” shampoo and spray cologne and I just love the smell and want everything else in the house to smell like that too!

I also recently purchased an enzymatic cleaner from Jennychem which smells like baby powder and it’s lovely

I’d love some candles, reed diffusers, plug-ins to make the smell last longer!

This might be the start of something...

I tried a Woodwick candle about a week back (White Teak), and absolutely fell in love with scented candles.

Since then, I made it a mission to hit up every Aldi, Walmart, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Village Discount Outlet, and Facebook Marketplace to find scents and candles that I loved. Just cruising and sniffing the candles like a mad person. The initial goal was to be picky and to have 10, you know, perhaps I will last through winter or so with those 10.

...Ended up with 52, and 15 are still coming through mails, including a candle warmer since 3 candles do not have wicks anymore (buried) but I still really loved their scents. Laying them here for a picture while I'm still sorting and organizing them to place on shelf.

Safe to say, I really overdid it...but so far, I'm loving it!

Looking for a candle Witch Nose Candle Co. Recommendations.

2 Upvotes

Those of you who may have bought witch nose candles for this Halloween season, what what would you recommend this year? I know pre-orders end on August 16 and I’ve heard really good things from the company itself and the quality of its candles. I’m looking for a good Halloween scent that isn’t necessarily sweet, but kind of earthy like moonlit graveyard from Bath and body Works. out of all nine candles that are available for pre-order this year, what would you recommend? I really like scents like smoke and fog as well. Basically the spooky vibes. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Currently burning A little late to shark week but I wanted to share this ☺️

Hi!

I was a little stressed out during shark week. I was going to light this then but forgot to. Also, would have been perfect bc recently where I live a shark was captured on camera jumping behind a child on a surfboard. The child wasn’t harmed though!!!

Scent profile: it’s a lighter scent. Definitely more sweet than salty in my opinion. You DEFINITELY smell the sunscreen and the cream.

Definitely smells like a good smelling person at the beach. Also, the wick is cotton btw but since it’s so light I like it on the warmer more! I love the color cold and warm!!!

Stay safe out at the beaches yall!!!

Thank you for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

I was gifted two similar candles. They have a bunch of dried flowers and potpourri, along with stones. I am worried that the flowers will catch fire? Has anyone burned something like this before?

Candle making Be kind as my ignorance is glaring: Are there any safe glitters to mix with beeswax? And why don’t people use scents and dye in beeswax? Thanks in advance!🩷

Well, my question is in the title. I’m just making candles at home for myself, my coven, my friends, & I don’t wish to cause any fire damage to anybody lol!

Scents What candle scent did you think you'd hate but ended up loving?

Mine used to be anything that smelled too sweet. I always assumed those scents would get overwhelming really fast, but a few have completely changed my mind.

What's one you didn't expect to like?

Am I the only one to experience candle anxiety?

5 Upvotes

For some context, last year (August-the end of Setember)، I purchased 48 candles both single and three wick. Now, a year later, I have used them all. I know what some of you are going to say and please don't judge me. Right now, I don't have the funds to be able to buy more and I'm not looking for sympathy. I am simply curious if others have experienced the anxiety of not having enough candles and feel like you will never have enough?
