Introduction to my review:
Bath & Body Works has a new candle collection out called “Summer Sips” – – fragrances I was pretty confident I would like every one of. These candles are all refreshing summer drinks and available in 6 different flavors. I purchased one of each to review and oh my goodness do they all smell incredible! And of course… they are perfect for summer!!
First up… Mango Coconut Cooler. Even though I liked them all… this candle stood out the most to me and was my favorite of the bunch. It smelled so good!! I LOVE coconut scents and oh my goodness does this smell INCREDIBLE!!!!! I wanted to pop a straw in the wax and drink it.
What did my Mango Coconut Cooler candle look like?
This candle was their standard 14.5oz large 3 wick candle. The wax color was a vibrant peach color… it was almost fluorescent. The label on the front of the candle shows a white glass with a split coconut and sliced mango’s with a straw peeking out of the glass. The scent name, “Mango Coconut Cooler” in a fun and modern font was embossed in black at the top of the glass. Very retro and well done. On the label towards the bottom says:
“4 mangos, peeled and diced, fresh coconut milk, mix into the perfect morning”
There is also an orange and yellow striped label that covers the entire chrome lid… in the center is a sliced coconut with a banner that reads “Summer Sips” across the center. See picture for a better visual reference.
What did my candle smell like?
First sniff, LOVE!!!!! I closed my eyes and hummed quite a few “Mmmmm‘s” in appreciation when I first popped the lid off this candle. It smelled like the quintessential tropical drink. Not a classic pina colada but instead, creamy and sweet mango’s drenched in coconut milk. YUM!!!!! I’m a big fan of tropical fragrances, especially coconut blends (in all forms) and this is definitely a candle I‘ll buy again in bulk… I liked it that much!
I also really like that all of Bath & Body Works candles now have the scent descriptions on their labels (located on the bottom of each candle.) The description for this scent reads:
“Mix this special blend of creamy coconut, luscious mango and a hint of island spice into the perfect summer morning”
Cold sniff, I wasn’t really smelling any spice… to me, this fragrance was all mango’s and coconut. And the strength… perfect!! I lit this candle mid morning in a large bedroom and within minutes, I could smell this yummy scent all throughout my bedroom and beyond. So the scent throw on this candle was awesome. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d say this was an 8+.
I could not get enough of this fragrance. Sweet mango’s with rich and creamy coconut milk. I loved it and found myself lingering in that room a little more than usual just to soak up and enjoy this scent. Want to add this was a husband approved scent as well. My honey commented on it the first day I had it burning and again throughout the few days it burned… he really liked it and this man comments on almost nothing. He either loves it or hates it. So this was a two thumbs up all around.
How did my Mango Coconut Cooler candle burn?
This candle burned perfect! No wick issues at all… I even had to trim these down a few times which I never have to do with these candles. A+ on burn performance.
Closing to my review:
I LOVED this candle and will for sure buy it again. If you love sweet tropical fragrances, this candle has your name written all over it. It was the perfect blend of mango’s and creamy coconut and boy was it sweet, creamy and luscious. Highly recommend this candle!
I can’t wait to try my other Summer Sip candles from Bath & Body Works… so stay tuned for more reviews coming soon.
Until then…
Happy candle hunting!
