Campsite Coffee Bath & Body Works Candle Review
By Christina Rylan
Brand: Bath & Body Works
Type: 14.5oz large 3 wick candle
Fragrance: Campsite Coffee
Scent Strength: Mega strong!
First impression of Campsite Coffee:
Campsite Coffee smelled like walking into a local coffee shop. Fresh brewed coffee with vanilla cream wafted all around me the moment I popped off the lid. It smelled so good (and strong) I closed my eyes and took a deep inhale. Mmmm!!!! I could definitely wake up to this scent every morning, easy.
Here is the scent description for Campsite Coffee:
Made with cedarwood and orange essential oils with notes of coffee, vanilla ice cream and fresh baked donuts.
Cedarwood and orange? Double take – What? I don’t smell a lick of those two in this scent. Not even an infinitesimal drop. What I could smell was freshly brewed coffee and vanilla cream. Donuts? Oh, I hope so!!! That sounds divine!!
Let’s get to it!
I lit my Campsite Coffee candle in my master bedroom and not even two minutes from lighting the wicks, the aroma was already wafting all through my bedroom. By the ten-minute mark, the aroma was filling every nook and cranny of space. My bedroom, open bathroom, closet, hallway and even my great room was saturated. Basically, this candle was scenting the entire upper level of my home and it was strong, strong, STRONG!! The aroma… just as it smelled on cold sniff… a delicious coffee with lots and lots of vanilla cream. Donuts? Maybe, but it was hard to tell. The coffee dominated this fragrance more than anything else.
Strength – I would rate this candle a 10 out of 10 in any size room. It was super strong and I loved every second of it.
How did my Campsite Coffee candle burn?
Sadly, the dreaded wick issue hit with this candle and I wanted to howl in frustration. Halfway down the candle, one wick began to fizzle out, then two, then all three. From then on out, it was the relighting game trying to get all three to stay lit. So bummed.
Closing to my review:
Loved Campsite Coffee! Rating this candle, I would easily have given it 5 stars across the board but due to its performance, I could not. I still loved it though and do plan on ordering it again. The scent smelled THAT good.
If you love coffee scents with the perfect touch of cream, definitely give this candle a whirl. It truly does smell like walking into your local coffee shop.
Happy candle hunting!

Absolutely Love it I wish I could buy another now !!!!!
I completely agree with your review. I have not had the wick problem but I am not quite at the halfway point yet. This scent is amazing. I only bought one and that was a huge mistake on my part. I should have bought at least 5. I love the way it make my whole house smell amazing.
Hi Tiffany,
Yes, Campsite Coffee is a good one. I’m definitely picking up a few more when it’s released again. 🙂
