First impression of Arctic Berry:
I had every intention of getting my Arctic Berry review posted prior to Christmas but time flew by too fast and I didn’t have time. I apologize. I’m pretty sure this fragrance is still available in stores though if you wanted to give it a try. I was just in a Bath & Body Works store a few days ago and Arctic Berry was there. Trust me… it’s a good one.
I first experienced Arctic Berry in one of Bath & Body Works foaming hand soaps and fell head over heels in love. This scent is so fresh and crisp and I just loved it. The moment I saw this fragrance in a candle, I nabbed one to review. Candle lovers… this scent truly smells like the perfect winter berry. Sweet red berries with fresh balsam or something similar to it. LOVE!!!!
Here is the scent description for Arctic Berry:
Made with Balsam and orange essential oils with notes of frozen red berries and musk.
YES!! Red berries and balsam and it is a wonderful combination. In fact, I love it so much, I just bought a ton of hand soaps to keep on hand. Can you tell how much I love this scent? Oh… I do!
Okay, time to light my candle!
I stuck to a large room to burn this candle in and oh my goodness, it was a perfect choice…. ten minutes after lighting the wicks, I smelled tart red berries the most with fresh balsam in the background. It was like I was sitting by a freshly cut Christmas tree while eating Sweet Tart candies. That’s what this candle smelled like to me. Sweet Tart candies and fresh balsam needles combined. The end result… a fresh berry scent that I simply can’t get enough of.
Strength – I would rate my Arctic Berry candle a 10 out of 10 in any size room. This candle filled my bedroom, open bathroom and even spilled out into my great room. Loved the strength!
How did my Arctic Berry candle burn?
This candle burned perfect. No wick issues. Clean burning from beginning to end.
Closing to my review:
It’s pretty obvious I loved Arctic Berry and highly recommend it to all you fruity lovers out there. It’s a great compromise as well if you’re getting tired of pine/balsam scents but are still in the mood to burn holiday scents. The added tart red berries really changes this aroma. It’s Christmas Tree but with a fresh and tart fruity twist. I hope Bath & Body Works keeps this one around for years to come!
Once again, Arctic Berry is not listed on Bath & Body Works website right now but it still should be in stores. You can also get this scent in their hand soaps which I highly recommend as well. I can’t get enough of it.
Happy candle hunting!
