Looking for a really Good Pumpkin Candle

poohbear1 · ‎03-09-2010

Anyone have any suggestions?? I love Crossroad candles and Keepers of the light. Would like to find a pumpkin candle that smells really nice (not too much cinnamon) and has a strong smell. thanks

I just bought a Swan Creek Pumpkin Vanilla candle. Smells great!

I always thought Yankee candles in the jar are excellent. Very fragrant and they always have special candle scents for each season.

kindness is strength

NEST Pumpkin Chai. Oh. My. Gosh.

I am in love.

Pure, raw pumpkin is a hard candle to find, because most people associate a pumpkin smell with pumpkin pie instead of raw pumpkin. It's really not an attractive smell until it is doctored by sugar and spices. I would normally recommend Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin from BBW (which has a good sale today), but it would be way too spicy for your taste. You may want to check out their Pumpkin Pecan Waffles candle, because while it still has a touch of sweetness, it has more of an overall flat, nutty smell that gives you some more raw authenticity. Woodwick's Pumpkin Butter and Nest's Pumpkin Chai candles do have some spice to them, but they are secondary notes which help to enhance, not overpower the pumpkin smell.

@poohbear1, I notice that at the moment, the Homeworx set with Smoked Pumpkin Woods scent is available again. Fragrance description:

Smoky and exotic, dark autumn woods are infused with whipped pumpkin puree and seasonal spice of nutmeg, clove and freshly grated vanilla bean.

Item number for this is H211419. His other pumpkin duo is showing sold out.

Hoping these are nice scents but nobody has received them yet to review.

I haven't looked at candles for a while but I do recall That yankee candle had two I liked. Apple Pumpkin was a rich scent and Spiced Pumpkin which was pumpkin/sweet but the Least " Spicy" of all the candles I'd tried. YC had one scent called Pumpkin Wreath that was unlike any of the Baked pumpkin scents. almost a wodsy aspect to it. That one was in a tart warmer.

Thanks for the various descriptions. I want to find a candle that smells like pumpkin pie that went heavy on the vanilla extract.

I have allergies and am sensitive to scent but I can use Harry Slatkin candles. I love his pumpkin scent. It's not too strong in any once scent but the combination is great.
