Pink Pineapple White Barn Candle Review
By Christina Rylan
Brand: White Barn
Type: 14.5oz large 3 wick candle
Fragrance: Pink Pineapple
Scent Strength: Medium
First impression of Pink Pineapple:
Pink Pineapple smelled like citrus heaven in a jar. The moment I put my nose up to the wax, a fresh burst of lemon, sugar and berries drifted all around me. Loved it!!
Here is the scent description from the bottom of the candle:
Fresh Pineapple, sugared berries, lemon zest. With essential oils.
The essential oil component had to be the lemon. Not sure sugared berries or pineapple could be made into an essential oil but who knows? At any rate, this candle smelled very fresh and citrusy. I loved it just based off cold sniff. Now it’s time to light this baby up and see how it performs!!
I lit this candle in my large master bedroom and waited for the magic to begin. Once the wicks were lit, it took a good 15 minutes to reach a full melt pool. From there, the aroma took a tad bit longer to really start noticing. I’d say a good 30 minutes in and my bedroom smelled like a light (but nice) fruity lemon/berry scent. It was different and a hard scent to really pinpoint what exactly you were smelling. I could smell the citrus and the berries but the pineapple… that was a little harder to detect. To me, this fragrance was all lemon and berries loaded with sugar but light, and that could be whatever the essential oil component was. I don’t know folks… this scent was just okay for me. I liked it but, in the end, it didn’t really “wow” me. Not enough to purchase again anyway.
Strength – this was a light one for a Bath & Body Works candle. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this candle a 6 in a really large room. 8 in a medium and 10 in a small. For a White Barn candle and a citrus one at that… that’s pretty light.
How did my candle burn?
This candle burned great. No wick issues. Clean burning from start to finish.
Closing to my review:
Pink Pineapple sounded so promising and I did like it… I just didn’t love it. It happens. My recommendation would be to go smell one next time you’re near a Bath & Body Works store. Who knows… you may get a totally different vibe than I did. If you do… let us know what you think of it.
Happy candle hunting!
