WORST CANDLE BRANDS

Disclaimer these are my opinions, you don’t have to agree with me.

Brands mentioned Capri Blue, Woodwick, and Otherland candles.

I used to go into to Yankee Candle weekly. I told the manager over and over again that the candles used to throw well. I told her that Yankee used to be special because it was an event going into the store. She poo pooed me and that store is now closed. I LOVED Yankee and they just nose dived when they sold to a big company. I don't want my Yankee candle from a department store. Oh well.

My woodwick candles have actually never disappointed me

[jesusfuentes]

Woodwick are great. They smell fsntastic and their scent is sooo strong. I love them.

Thanks for sharing! I agree the Capri Blue doesn't melt completely. That said, I got the Woodwick FireSide (the tall hourglass one) and it melted very evenly all the way down with no tunneling so I would give it a try. Throw was strong as well.

I haven't had much luck with bath and body works in the last two years. The quality has really gone down and just don't last like they used to. I've switched to goosecreek candles and I've never been happier. They are economical, last forever (2 wick jars), and have so many scents. I will agree with Capri blue, they suck, no throwing power reminds me of the ones you get at the dollar tree.

This is the bitchy candle review that I never knew I always needed. Subscribed. 🖤

I tried Otherland, never again. Their candles tunnel so I don't even want to buy them anymore. I also think they put 90% of their budget into the packaging, the actual candle itself is either boring or outright badly formulated scent that is unpleasant. I study fragrance chemistry and their Canopy scent was probably the worst, most bland scent ever, but also kind of nauseatingly sweet. It makes total sense that they buy off the shelf fragrance formulations, because they do smell extremely generic for anyone who's been into candle or soap design for a while. Lazy, and I won't reward laziness in formulation. I also cannot believe they don't even provide a lid for a $36 matte glass jar (also, who told them matte white was a good idea?! Good luck keeping that nice for any length of time.)

I like WoodWick, however l get the little crackle ones that are a little bigger than tealights. They preform ridiculously well and can burn all night. Bc they are wood wick the burn time is extremely long, so they can last a week more if you don't burn them all night like l do. The smell is also awesome. The only thing l dont like is l can only find the small ones at Walmart, and not all of them carry.

The Capri Blue is a complete disappointment. I unfortunately bought the colossal size of this candle and it’s almost $200 😩 I bought it twice because I wanted to give them another chance but it’s not me the consumer, it is definitely them! Customer service is not nice and I know how to burn a candles. From BBW to Byredo. Great review! Thank you, Drew!

I feel like Capri Blue is overhyped on its throwing power. My 8 oz Nest candle throws better. I did try to fit a yankee candle topper on top of the Capri Blue opening and it didn’t exactly fit but it made it pooled out. The volcano scent has a very unique scent though and BBW sun washed citrus may be close but not exactly like it.

Great review and ty for being honest. Candies are expensive and we want performance. The blue Java banana smells good, I’ll look at discount stores and make melts if I find it.

Great video! Have you heard about the candle company Forvr Mood by a YouTuber Jackie Aina? Would love to see a review from you

[BethanyGarbo]

I was SO EXCITED to get 4 new WoodWick candles! I thought I was doing the right thing and buying through their online store...through Yankee.
I've never been so deterred from online shopping - they forgot to pack an item...and also, one of the ellipse candles' wicks is literally on the side of the wax...WTF???

I love Lower Lodge candles. They manufacture Jo Malone’s candles (the brand I’m so lucky to work for) and they’re amazing at what they do. The same glass as Jo Malone’s candles, the same quality but at a more affordable price! I mainly buy Jo Malone, Diptyque, and Cire Trudon.

Glad i watched this i was planning to order woodwick in US to be shipped to ph. Yeah you used to love woodwick 😔I found out about woodwicks through your channel. Appreciate this review Drew.

Love from 🇵🇭

I have never had a yankee candle that I’ve been happy with.

[gamecockgirl]

You need to add DW Home Candles to this list. Absolutely terrible throw, lots of mushrooming problems, and tunneling.

[phylliswest]

Totally agree with Capri blue and woodwick. Yankee has also gone way downhill. Will never purchase them again. Their loss as I buy about 700 candles a year. Thank god for Harry Slatkin!

[lydiarose]

I agree completely. I've wasted so much money on Capri Blue over the years, just praying to get that one that doesn't tunnel. Never happened
