First impression of Bourbon Sea Salt Caramel: 

When I visually saw Bourbon Sea Salt Caramel, I knew I wanted to review it. Presentation of the candle looked pretty cool and the scent ultimately sold me. The moment I smelled it… no regrets. Zero!! This candle smelled super yummy and definitely not your average caramel scent.

Here is the scent description from the bottom of the candle:

Barrel-aged bourbon, soft caramel, course sea salt.

Mmm mmm good!! That sounds perfect. Smelling the wax, I sort of smelled butterscotch, caramel and sea salt combined. Not really bourbon but then I am not an expert on what bourbon smells like so who knows. It could just be my nose. We shall see once I light the wicks.

Which happens right now!!

I lit this candle in my standard Bath & Body Works review room (my master bedroom) and waited for the magic to begin. It took the average 15 minutes to reach a full melt pool and from then on out… a sweet vanilla caramel with an added unique flavor filled my bedroom. It was different and I’m guessing the bourbon component played a big role in that. I also know vanilla was not listed in the scent description but I swear I do smell that as the base of this scent. The overall aroma smelled like vanilla, caramel, a teeny hint of salt along with the aged bourbon which smelled kind of smoky to me. This scent was unique and I think a candle you should probably experience for yourself to see what I mean.

Strength – I would rate this candle an 8 out of 10 in a really large room so 10 in medium to smaller rooms. Loved the strength.

 

 

How did my candle burn?

This candle burned great. No wick issues. Clean burning from start to finish.

 

 

Closing to my review: 

Bourbon Sea Salt Caramel was a very different kind of bakery scent and one that I enjoyed. I wouldn’t call it the most delicious bakery scent I’ve ever smelled, but it was different. I almost want to call this fragrance a more sophisticated bakery since the aged bourbon did give it a smokier edge.Best scented candle Whatever it was… I liked it. Definitely check out this candle next time you’re in a Bath & Body Works store and see for yourself. You may walk away with one.

Don’t see Bourbon Sea Salt Caramel listed in Bath & Body Works website? Try one of their stores which tends to carry all their current scents, more so than online.

Happy candle hunting!
