Peppermint Brownie Bath & Body Works Candle Review
By Christina Rylan
Brand: Bath & Body Works
Type: 14.5oz large 3 wick candle
Fragrance: Peppermint Brownie
Scent Strength: Medium
First Impression of Peppermint Brownie:
I have a huge soft spot for chocolate mint fragrances so ordering Peppermint Brownie was one of the fastest purchases I’ve ever made. The moment I popped off the lid and smelled the candle…. Aaaaaah!!! It was a perfect blending of sweet chocolate and crisp peppermint. It smelled wonderful.
Here is the scent description for Peppermint Brownie:
Crushed Candy Canes, Rich Mocha, Whipped Cream.
What a perfect trifecta and I smelled all three ingredients pretty distinctively. Yummy chocolate mocha, sugary candy canes and oh yes… WHIPPED CREAM!!! I haven’t even lit this candle yet and I already want to purchase more.
Time to light my candle!
I lit my Peppermint Brownie candle in my master bedroom and ended up moving it an hour later to a smaller room. I wanted a strong scent throw and a large room wasn’t cutting it with this fragrance. Once moved… much better!! I came back 30 minutes later to the warm and edible scent of thin mint cookies doused in whipped cream. I could clearly smell the whipped cream in this aroma and I think that’s why it wasn’t as strong as I was expecting, or hoping it would be. I just finished reviewing Bath & Body Works Gooey Marshmallow and that scent was super light. Marshmallow scents generally are. So other than strength, this was a yummy fragrance. Just imagine creamy chocolate, sweet and crisp peppermint candies with loads of fluffy marshmallows. YUM!!
Strength – I would rate Peppermint Brownies a 5 out of 10 in a really large room. 8 in a medium and I’m guessing 10 in a small. If you purchase this candle, start it in a small room and go from there.
How Did My Peppermint Brownie Candle Burn?
My Peppermint Brownie candle burned perfect! No wick issues whatsoever. Clean burning from beginning to end. A+
Closing To My Review:
Peppermint Brownie was a delightful bakery scent but keeping it real, the strength did disappoint me a little bit. I would have been over the moon had this scent been room saturation strong but alas… it wasn’t meant to be. I still do recommend it though, I loved the scent! Just stick to a small room to start out.
Don’t see Peppermint Brownie on Bath & Body Works website? Try one of their stores which I’m sure is carrying it. It wasn’t that long ago I purchased this candle.
Happy candle hunting! And Merry Christmas!
