I have a Homeworx Ameretto Pumpkin and BBW pumpkin clove candle that will have their last burn this week. I'll miss the fragrances. I have purchased other scents to have them be too light. 
do you have a scent you miss?

Yes.  Fig and Lychee by PartyLite. 

 

I have quite a stash of votives and four 7" pillars that haven't been lit yet.  

 

They still have their scent and I don't store them boxed.

 

They don't even match my decor, we moved out of that house years ago.  But I love 'em!

I bought BBW Holiday candle which was cinnamony with lid off. But once lit there was no fragrance. Disappointing.

Hands down....Partylite Honeydew!   Have never found a replacement for it.

Partylite's Vanilla Spice and Spiced Plum-my absolute favorite scents!

 

I have purchased other Vanilla Spice candles, but none have ever come close to Partylite's.......Wish they would bring it back.

There was a former party candle group called "Scentsy" that is now on line.  

 

The wife of one DH's camping/caving buddies, brought several scents over to their "office" and he brought home

 

"Hemmingway" (from Scentsy)

The essence of Hemingway’s writing abode is captured in our Hemingway Scentsy Bar.  A foundation of rich, ripe autumn apples greet the foresty accents of warm eastern sandalwood and refreshing cedar.”

 

I've never loved anything more and seemingly have picked up the last on ebay and around.

I have a dozen of the honeydew in square votives.  I bought them more for the color than the scent, but they do smell good.  Mine are about 10 years old.  Unlit.

 

ETA:  Just read online that *honeydew* was brought back in July.

@Lucky Charm Thanks for the info.  I did some Googling and can't find it available - new - for purchase.  I looks like it was a limited offering and now all gone.  Hopefully it will return sometime in the future.  I can't believe the ever discontinued it...it was extremely popular.

I loved Yankee Candle's Storm Watch.....I see it on Ebay---but those that have original YC labels and jars, the vendors want OUTRAGEOUS prices $55 or $39 for one candle---Amazon wanted $42----NO WAY.....And some sold on Ebay have odd looking labels "anniversary classic"--I dont trust those I bet they watered down the scent ....Woman Frustrated

We used to visit a gift shop in Cape May, NJ and buy quite a few Merlot scented 
candles that were in wine glasses.  They were the best smelling candles ever.

 

One year we were disappointed to see that the gift shop closed.  I have looked everywhere for the Merlot candles, but the company that made them  is no loner in business.

 

I have tried other Merlot candles, but they are not the same.
