I love how descriptive you are with your reviews! It really helps so I can differentiate between similar scents and decide which candles to buy. You really know your candles 💗!
I burned Pumpkin Spice Latte for the first time today and I completely agree! On cold I thought I smelled a slightly stronger coffee note, but not really any pumpkin spice. You’d think it would not be too difficult to dial up the coffee and add a bit of spice to this, but maybe not? Lol! Anyway, like you I loved Ciao Bella (such a good vanilla with a “little extra” as you say) and will like this for what it is. ☺️💕 I found the throw to be medium, as well. Thanks so much for this review! So timely, descriptive, and awesome, as always! ❤️
You're so welcome, Jenny! And yes, sounds like we share the same thoughts on both this and Sweet Tiramisu. ☺️ I know from experience, that a lot of "true coffee" fragrance oils are so strong and overpowering that they often overwhelm other notes that are added to a blend. But of course BBW has access to professional perfumers, so I would hope that it could be done somehow! I think they nailed the perfect blend of coffee + something else with Paris Cafe Bouquet, so it does seem possible!
I passed on this one last year I think mainly because I wanted it to smell more like a PSL and I already own 2 Tiramisu candles but this year I picked it up. I think it smells slightly different this year. I agree 100% with what you said… I’d like to see this with way more coffee flavor and way more pumpkin flavor. I think that’s another reason I never picked it up last year even though I absolutely love all things PSL. It needs to be more intense
I wanted to like this one last year, but it’s just Sweet Tiramisu to me and I really didn’t like that one. I think this name makes it sell better. I wish it was more amped up on pumpkin spice.
I love this Candle it was my fav last year. It had a pretty strong coffee scent last year waaaaaay stronger than Sweet Tiramisu. But very similar. I have not tried this year version sounds like its a little weaker. Last year the throw was probably a 9.
I agree. This isn't very spicy and something about it even reminds me of Hot Cocoa and Cream except it was stronger than this one. I still enjoy it but don't need anymore. I prefer Pumpkin Clove and Pumpkin Bonfire which I hope returns also. 👍
About the same amount of "implied, fake coffee" note as Whipped Coffee. Whipped Coffee is very strong on the caramel note though and is primarily a caramel fragrance, while PSL is not, imo!
One of my favorites this year; another powerhouse! I warmed it ONCE and we could smell it in the air for daaayys. Finally had to put the lid on and store it away because the scent just lingered. lol It's a great scent so I didn't mind it lingering but what witchcraft is that?? 😂☕🎃
I would walk by with the LID ON and I could still smell it. People talk about Paris Cafe being strong(er) 😱 and I just wonder what type of beast that one was! lol
Had this last year and loved it, just smelled this years and it seemed a bit different to me...maybe more coffeeish? I need to find my tarimisu and compare since I never made that connection! Thanks for sharing!👍
I guess I got tricked I actually thought I could smell more coffee scent then in ST, on cold anyway . I haven't burned it yet. Kind of wishing it wasn't orange . I don't want to wait til Halloween to burn it . I guess I better find a holder that covers it . Hope mine isn't as weak as yours (sorry )
Yea, I was really optimistic about more of a pumpkin spice note coming out when burning, to justify this is as a separate purchase from Sweet Tiramisu, but sadly not the case!
🥰😍Mmmm as soon as those hit the market I fell in love with them. Slept in bed with a single wick right next to me to sniff on cold. Lol an another on the dresser cold. Didn't light 😅
i hate this scent i was even more disappointed than i thought i would be there is ZERO pumpkin spice in this not even a HINT of pumpkin pie spice now i remember why i hated it in years past and never purchased it this reminds me of paris cafe

The one I got last year sucked and had no throw, I smelled it on cold and it did smell stronger. Might have to get one to try out
I didn't find this in the store. Have to be on the lookout. Thanks for the review 👍
I definitely plan on checking this one out! Thank you!
I am finishing this candle now… I did enjoy it ☺️
I bought this today in the single wick so fingers crossed it gives a decent throw in my smaller bedroom!

@@TheCandleChannel Yes! Paris Cafe Bouquet: a brave and unique candle that I personally loved! You are so right. 🥰👌

Same
i ordered these but girl dont judge me i ordered them so i could trade them in and still get the sale price
Thanks, Kent!!!
💙💙💙
I’m currently burning this candle and I smell NOTHING!!!! I’m annoyed
I have the single wick and really enjoy the smell. plan on getting the 3 wick next time
Glad you're enjoying it! It's not quite the perfect PSL fragrance I was hoping for, but find it to still be very pleasant.
Awesome review!!! ❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Oh dang! I just went and got 6 fall candles I can't believe I forgot to grab this.
Darn, I'll have to go back 😂😭
Paris Cafe is my BOO!! I love that real coffee smell
Yes! It's so strong, I love it. I can burn it for like a single hour and be content.
Great review.
I wanted to like this one last year, but it’s just Sweet Tiramisu to me and I really didn’t like that one. I think this name makes it sell better. I wish it was more amped up on pumpkin spice.
would you ever consider reviewing any of the single wick candles?
I prefer stronger throws so I don't buy too many of the single wicks, sorry :(
@@TheCandleChannel that's okay! I understand, thank you for your response! 😊
@@TheCandleChannel That's me too😊👍

Oh, I'm glad to hear this candle worked out for you last year!
Love Sweet Tiramisu, Pumpkin Spice Latte & Paris Cafe... ALLUVUM!!!
I ordered this one online but haven’t lit it. It doesn’t smell like pumpkin spice at all.
I agree. This isn't very spicy and something about it even reminds me of Hot Cocoa and Cream except it was stronger than this one. I still enjoy it but don't need anymore. I prefer Pumpkin Clove and Pumpkin Bonfire which I hope returns also. 👍
Yes, Pumpkin Clove is the quintessential pumpkin spice scent! And a Pumpkin Bonfire 3-wick is reported to be returning for a late August floorset :)
@@TheCandleChannel Yay! Thanks for the info😁🤗
Didn’t get it last year and still on the fence about getting it. I like a bold coffee scent. How does it compare to whipped coffee?
About the same amount of "implied, fake coffee" note as Whipped Coffee. Whipped Coffee is very strong on the caramel note though and is primarily a caramel fragrance, while PSL is not, imo!
@@TheCandleChannel Thank you! I think I will give PSL a go.

Pumpkin Spice Latte is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I guess I got tricked I actually thought I could smell more coffee scent then in ST, on cold anyway . I haven't burned it yet. Kind of wishing it wasn't orange . I don't want to wait til Halloween to burn it . I guess I better find a holder that covers it . Hope mine isn't as weak as yours (sorry )
I bought it in the single wick and I can barely smell it . It's the weakest single wick I've burned. I'll be buying the 3 wick lesson learned!
Yes! I don't bother with the single-wicks anymore. I don't want them taking up space in my house even at 75% off during the SAS.
Already own several of the Tiramisu candles so this is a pass for me. Great review!!

I still have a few of these from last year so it’s a pass for me. 🙃
I love the scent of this scent so much. Sadly the throw was terrible. Literally a 2 or 3 for me.
Yea, I was really struggling to smell this at the beginning. It's alright in a small bedroom.
I find that Bath and Bodyworks candles smell best in a candle crock you can purchase them on Amazon just my opinion though
i hate this scent i was even more disappointed than i thought i would be there is ZERO pumpkin spice in this not even a HINT of pumpkin pie spice now i remember why i hated it in years past and never purchased it this reminds me of paris cafe
