Pineapple Cream Puff Bath & Body Works Candle Review
By Christina Rylan
Brand: Bath & Body Works
Type: 14.5oz large 3 wick candle
Fragrance: Pineapple Cream Puff
Scent Strength: Medium/light
First impression of Pineapple Cream Puff:
Pineapple Cream Puff sounded like a scent I had to try. A flaky pineapple pastry loaded with cream… oh yes! Just an FYI, I purchased this candle not long ago through Bath & Body Works semi-annual sale and although I don’t see it listed on their website anymore… I’ve reviewing it anyway since I just recently purchased it. It must be around somewhere.
Here is the scent description from the bottom of the candle:
Delicate puff pastry and rich cream meet tropical pineapple in a fragrance inspired by a classic, handmade perfection.
Yum!! First impression when I smelled the wax… sweet pineapple, rich cream and sugar. I didn’t really smell a puff pastry but what I could smell was quite delicious… a sweet pineapple sugar swirled into vanilla cream. If this candle stays true once burning, I’ll be happy.
Let’s find out!
I lit this candle in my master bedroom and 20 minutes later, I came back to the sweet aroma of pineapple and sugar. It was a little lighter than I wanted so I moved it to a medium size room… from then on out… perfect! My guest bedroom smelled like a sweet pineapple cake loaded with sugar. It wasn’t a fruity pineapple but sweeter, so the pastry component does come out once the candle is burning and it was yummy.
Strength – I would rate this candle a 6 out of 10 in a really large room. 8 in a medium and 10 in a small. This candle is definitely suited to a medium to smaller room if you’re after strength.
How did my candle burn?
This candle burned great. No wick issues. Clean burning from beginning to end.
Closing to my review:
Not sure how I missed reviewing Pineapple Cream Puff but glad I finally had the chance to try it. If you love bakery pineapple scents, this is a must try. It was sweet, bakery and full of sugary goodness. I would totally purchase this candle again.
Don’t see this candle on Bath & Body Works website? Try one of their stores which tends to carry all their current scents vs online.
Happy candle hunting!
