Bath & Body Works knows how to get excitement going for their holiday candles. They introduce new scents and bring back several others, such as Merry Cookie. Although we are past the holidays, we did want to get the review for this year’s candle live because we were disappointed in what we received. We want our old Merry Cookie back, and we are hoping that 2024 was just a fluke.
Who Is Merry Cookie For?
This is usually a bakery lover’s dream, and if you love gourmand scents you might find it irresistible. We don’t know who we’d recommend this version to, though, because we didn’t find the scent pleasing in the least.
This candle did have a more subtle fragrance and could be good for someone who does not want strong, in-your-face candle fragrances. It is also a fast burner, so if you like to change out candles frequently, this might be up your alley.
What did we test?
We tested their standard, 14.5 ounce, 3-wick holiday candle. This particular candle had a holographic label with festve decor. The wax was an orangish brown color and there was a silver, decorative lid.
The label on the bottom read: Fresh Baked Cookies, Sparkling Sugar Cookies, Rich Vanilla.
What did we like about Merry Cookie?
We loved the festive, holographic style label on this past season’s candles. It was festive and fun, albeit a bit hard to photograph. We loved the deep wax melt pool that we got and the fact that the candle had an even, clean burn.
What didn't we like about Merry Cookie?
This candle just did not smell like Merry Cookie to us. There was no vanilla, no cookie…just a weird, Play-Dough type of scent. It was not a loud fragrance nor did it travel well, which was really good considering.

If you are looking for a vanilla cookie scented candle, you might consider:
- Vanilla Sugar Cookie, DW Home This candle is much stronger and has some included chocolate notes.
- Pink Sugar Cookie, Goose Creek Candles This is a delicious, strong sugar cookie scent with the addition of some cherry notes.
- Christmas Cookie, Yankee Candle A perfect vanilla cooke scent! It is just not as strong as the others.
