Slatkin candles

I love some of his candles. He claims all will fill your rooms with fragrance. Not so…. I bought the geranium candle and couldn’t smell it at all. Of course I hate that because it’s a waste of my money!!!!!!

I burn the Lemoncello candle , Peartini candle , Partridge in Pear tree , Glazed Ginger bread and Balsam White birch which I can smell all over downstairs if I burn one in my farthest bath upstairs .

I also bought the Amafi coast that emit a terrific scent.

I did buy some TSV candles of his a few yrs ago that had his itched design on the glass that did not dissapaite fragrance as well, so maybe it varies

I regularly purchase Harry's candles, from QVC and from his website. Never have had a problem not smelling them; they never fail to deliver. I tend to lean toward the fall scents though, so that might make a difference. One of the few deviations from the fall scents has been the Pina Colada, which never fails to deliver.

And.....I only purchase the four-wick candles so the burn in the glass pools evenly across the diameter of the container.

If you get on his email list and texting list, he regularly has great deals on his products. Because I love to fill the house with the smell of candles, his sales are when I purchase.

@skatting44 I was interested in Partridge in a Pear Tree. Is pear the strongest scent? I really like pear.

@Sakuya

yes, to me has alot of clean pear scent but has some heliotrope that makes it a little different .

He had some on clearance sometime ago in this scent

I might like the Balsam White Birch, noticed it is on waitlist on Qvc and sold out on his website.

Geraniums don't have much of a scent; that may be why the candle wasn't fragrant. Well, the plant has a unique odor but the blooms don't.

I wish they would offer a "variety" set of candles, such as 2 or 3 candles with different scents instead of a pack of 2 of the same scent.

This would make great gifts if you don't know which scent the recipient would like so then they'd be able to try out at least two or three.

Yup. Agree. Both candles purchased have no scent whatsoever. Seriosuly no scent. At the price I paid it is super disappointing. The way they were presented one would think they fill the home with aroma even while not lit, Not true. No scent. Period.

I have never had a problem with them smelling either. I do find some of course are stronger than others.....But I have never had a problem smelling them.......I like the Christmas and Fall scents the best-they are the most strong to me....

I like the floral fragrances best and I always think the scent fills the room!

I love Homeworx candles. I don't like gourmand candles at all though. I much prefer woodsy, sultry, warm, scents that I burn all year, not just in the fall and winter.

An exception, I do love the mulled spices scent that becomes very popular in winter.

I will not purchase Harry's reed diffusers anymore though. I was burned twice by Homeworx diffusers with no discernible scent at all. Done with those.

Re: Slatkin candles & New Liquid Soaps

I ordered the new Slatkin liquid soap in the Birch scent. The scent is very good & the price was very fair BUT I had no idea these were made in China. I called customer Service & asked if the soap was made in China or just the plastic dispenser & the lady said she didn't know! Anyone know? I wouldn't have bought if this is true! CS said if I returned it I would have to pay shipping.

@Eveningsong I was wondering the same thing and I emailed on the Homeworx website and they responded to me the candles were manufactured in Vietnam. Not sure about the soap you are referring to.

Home Goods had a great selection of his 3wick candles for $14.99.

I don't burn candles because of allergies but they smelled good in the store.

I like Bath & Body Works as I don't need to burn them for the scent to fill the room although I don't like the plug-ins too strong for me.

I have purchased a couple both no scent,
They had some of the Christmas scents by home works at home good those also no scent, I also noticed they were stamped made in Vietnam and no mention of soy.
I would like to try the cheerful giver line maybe they have more scent.

My thoughts exactly. Why should I have to buy 2 18oz. candles in the same scent? I bought 2 candles for Halloween (not on sale, of course) but then found the scent rather sweet.

Now I'm stuck with them or have to pay the shipping cost to send them back. Why can't we mix and match, if we have to buy 2, especially since we don't get to smell them ahead of time.

It makes me feel "manipulated" into buying something I may, or may not, like. Although, I've never seen hosts smell something and admit they don't like it. Everything is wonderful!

Maybe that's why I'm not a very good salesman -- too honest.

Marshalls, Home Goods and T.J. Maxx have his candles often and much better price. I have also seen them at Ross stores. If you are 55 and over Ross also gives you a 10% discount on Tuesdays.

I was never in a Ross until yesterday and guess what, I saw Slatkin candles there also. I think lthe 3 wick ones were 16.99. One smelled nice, the others did not appeal to me at all.

I recently bought his White Birch candle. I could smell it in all the rooms, very nice.
