SLATKIN CANDLES VS. BATH & BODY WORKS CANDLES

I vote for BBW and this is why.............

with a sale and a coupon, 3 wick candles come out to approx. $10

They smell wonderful and have a good throw.

If you don't like the smell, you return for another candle-no questions asked.

Slatkin candles are not as strong and they cost a lot more.

Re: SLATKIN CANDLES VS. BATH & BODY WORKS CANDLES

I know many here complain about how dirty B&BW candles are.  I've never had a problem.  I am a candle junkie and have tried so many brands.  For the (sale) price I do not think you can beat B&BW.  The same holds true for (sale) Yankee Candles.

 

If I buy a scented candle, I want to be able to enjoy the scent all over the house.

Definitely agree about BBW!  Plus, they have sales and coupons all the time.  Be sure to sign up on line for info!  Most candle coupons are good on line or in store.  I have not had a scent I did not love. The entire house smells wonderful.

This is exactly why I didn’t fall for the phony reviews before they were shipped.  They were good when he was at Bath and Body,  where they obviously have higher standards than QVC.  I feel bad for the people who bought them and lost the original shipping costs when they spent the candle s back.  Unless, of course, they came broken.

When the original company  changes or is bought out, the formula's usually change IMO. (not for the better)

Example: Tova
