It’s been a very long time since I’ve reviewed a candle on here. And although I know many of you prefer to see nail-polish reviews, I really love candles and need to review this one – Slatkin & Co. Autumn Candle!

I’ve had it stashed away in my closet since last year…sheesh! And now they’ve come out with a new  graphic for the front of the candle.

Although the summer was my favourite season for years, the fall quickly took first place in the past couple of years. I love everything about it – the crisp air, Hallowe’en, and being able to wear sweater dresses with knee-high boots.

Slatkin & Co. Autumn Candle Review

Fragrance

This candle smells exactly like crisp autumn air with hints of apple. If I really strain my nose, I think I can smell the pomegranate. It’s definitely a scent that’s very fresh and light.

Unlike other fall scents that are laden with lots of heavy spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, this one is free of that. You just get the crispness of apple that’s uplifting.

Scent Throw

The Autumn Candle by Slatkin & Co. has a moderate scent throw. I was quite pleased that after only a few minutes of burning it, the scent dispersed the air very well. I didn’t have to strain my nose to detect the scent.

Burning

Here’s where the candle doesn’t score so well. Unfortunately, the wicks drowned after 2 hours of having it lit. I had to wait for the wax to cool again, trim the wicks, and then relight the candle to enjoy it.

Packaging

I love the clean packaging. It’s elegant and simple. It would look great in any decor – nothing gaudy.

It’s also nice how there’s a lid with a rubberized lining that helps to seal in the fragrance.

Value

Slatkin & Co. candles nearly always go on sale, so I always think it’s a rip-off to purchase them at full price. Just wait for them to go on sale, which is usually 2 for $25/$30 CAD or 2 for $20/$25 USD.

Seasonal Availability

This is a seasonal fragrance, so if you really like it, you’d better stock up on it in the fall. When the winter rolls around, it’ll be harder to get it. And after that, you’ll have to wait until next fall. The good thing is that this is a seasonal scent that they bring back year after year. 🙂

Pros Smells crisp & fresh Moderate scent throw Elegant/Simple packaging Tends to go on sale often Recurring seasonal scent

Cons Wicks drowned after 2 hours

Final Verdict: 6.5/10

I didn’t ‘Bust’ the Autumn Candle by Slatkin & Co. because it’s so different than a lot of other scented candles I’ve bought. Instead of being purely apple (which can sometimes give me a headache), this one’s a perfect blend that reminds me of a fall day.

What’s your favourite fall scent? Have you bought any Slatkin & Co. scented candles from Bath & Body Works recently? Have you seen that they have a Pumpkin Cupcake candle? (I’m going to get that one – it combines two of my favourite scents!)
