Love that! Great approach. That fomo feeling can really lead to overbuying. Love that they offer the more sample type sizes to be able to determine if you really love something or not.

I’m most excited for warm & toasty and really want that one. I’m also interested in pumpkin spice toddy and the apple bourbon oud one.

Honestly Warm and Toasty is a new profile for me but I am HERE for it. IT is smokey and normally smokey is not my thing but mixed with that toasty sweet marshmallow... PURE heaven!

The temperatures have been in the high 90s here all week, and I'm indoors in the air conditioning watching shows like Ice Road Truckers and pretending 🤪 Bring me all the fall and winter scents! 😂

Hey Melanie 👋🏼 a lot of these candles from this collection were so different from typical fall scents! Warm and toasty is hands down my favorite! Super super super smoky which is so fun! I’ve burned four of them so far! I’ve got a lot of burning to do before the 11th! 😂❤

Thank you!! It's so lovely... but I think I might be biased lol!

I held off on the preorder for so long but couldn’t take it. Ugh, I’m sad about the Kitten one, I was hoping it would be a sweet cashmere blanket type of scent. We shall see. 😢😢😢

Hey Melanie, Happy Sunday, so awesome that you got to create your own candle, totally not surprised that it's a pomander scent. I'd love to try all of these scents and the first one I would do is White Birch & Rain. Fresh scents whether they're minty or have eucalyptus in them are always good. Happy sniffy sniff. Too da loo. Btw, enjoying Goose Creek's sooty Watermelon Lemonade, good scent.

It’s been so hot here in Ohio I’ve been hibernating and well…, burning fall candles 🤣🤣. I’m ready for it too

I am still in summer scent mode (fall is my favorite season ) not ready to burn full on fall till late Aug/Sep . Right now I want fresh clean but I did place an order for some of the fall to burn later. Ordered Blueberry Scone, Warm and Toasty, the Birch one, pomander one, and the Kitten label one. I do prefer foodie/bakery in late fall. Late summer/ early fall I still like a little fresh. So happy with the selection! Thanks for your first impressions! Very helpful!

I’m definitely interested in the pomander and pinecones candle , thank you for your first thoughts.. I loved your vintage pomander candle so much, I would absolutely love to see it in the 4-wick or wouldn’t it be wonderful in a luxe 80 ounce version, which I know they don’t do, but I would totally buy it if they ever decided to make one that big ❤

Very interesting autumn lineup. I'm slightly disappointed that there's not a true woodsy scent. My top picks currently are the Warm & Toasty and the Pumpkin Rum Toddy. I look forward to your reviews. 💜

Blueberry, Almond and Praline Country candles would be the ones I’m interested in. Bourbon Apple, Pumpkin Rum, Salted Maple are the Kringles I’m looking to purchase. I’m going to wait for reviews before purchasing and won’t be able to purchase on launch day. Will have family in town visiting. Thank you for the cold sniffs. Always helpful. ~CeCe 😊🌹

It is in the Reserve line. Reserve candles are re-released periodically so it will. I am checking in with Mick soon to see if they will again for this holiday season.

I LOVE your pomander scent MUCH better than this Pinecones & Pomander. This one is way too astringent for my nose. Everyone but me says they smell citrus, but I get too much “cat pee tree” in it🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@MrKongsMom

REALLY? I have your video on my watch list. Wanted to film mine before watching any others so I wouldn't be influenced haha. I am surprised we don't feel the same about that one. We usually share so many similarities. But like we always say, noses can really vary. I just saw a comment on Brett's video that my collab candle smelled like Tang. That was obviously not my goal and I am surprised that would be the takeaway because of the amount of clove in there but all noses pick up different variations in the notes. Clove can be tricky so we went through several variations with different levels of clove. At any rate, totally do appreciate the feedback tho because it is so interesting to see how people interpret scents. I already want to repurchase the pinecones and pomander lol.

@@MrKongsMom ha, we actually pick up some different notes on cold with a lot of these. I knew that Kittens & Cashmere would totally not be your jam with that mint note. 😂

I think i am passing on all!

Kittens and cashmere snelling green and herbal is certainly odd. I was expecting a powdery amber, vanillic cashemere type of scent 🤔 That bourbon apple and oud, warm and cozy and maple woods sound awesome. 👀 Amber person here 🙋🏻‍♀️ its without a doubt my favorite scent note

I would have so preferred a cashmere scent over the green herbal for that one as well. Way to fresh for this girl haha!

Wow that’s a lot of PR that they send at one time. I could see how your candle collection can never get down to a manageable amount cause of the amount of PR alone that ambassadors receive. 😮

I am actually doing pretty good this year finishing up my backup stash. I just filmed an update yesterday to go up next week at some point. It also helped that I pulled back on buying backups and backups in the last couple of years. THAT is what got me in trouble. My new approach of a max of 2 for my holy grails at any given time helps a lot. I was buying 8-10 of my faves in the past. Changing my buying habits has helped immensely. I am so excited to get to the end of year to be able to move everything into one closet.

Always Fall ready! 🍁🍂 The pomander is the only one that sounds interesting (not a food scent fan at all). Please share your thoughts on the pomander when available…similar to Vintage Pomander? Thanks for sharing your first sniff impressions! R☘️ 🍁

It probably be next week. I’m not half way through you yet unfortunately.

I’m excited for CC glazed berry scones, pinecones and pomander, praline buttercream, Kringle pumpkin rum toddy and Bourbon Apple and oud. Is the Pinecone and pomander more holiday? And is the Apple one got a lot of oud? I like wood scents but not oud. Thanks!

@MrKongsMom

I think the pomander could go either way. Fall or Holiday. I will use it for both myself. There is no real oud to my nose on cold. I think I am getting more of that Tonka and Amber on cold. But that oud may come out when burning potentially. I will of course update!

I have a full cabinet of fall & holiday fragrances that I really don't need any. I may grab wax melts in fragrances I am really interested in purchasing.

So in summary, it sounds like you like the Pomander and Blueberry Scone candles on cold stiff...any others? Although I know you want to burn the candle at least 1/3 of the way before reviewing the candle, could you give us a first impression video of the ones you're on the fence with since they are released this Thursday?

@MrKongsMom

28 күн бұрын

I probably won't have time to film that before the release. There are number I really like. The automatic likes are: Blueberry Scone, Pomander, Warm and Toasty, Pumpkin Run Toddy and almond butter cookie. The rest are one's that I will need to burn. There's quite a bit of maple here which is hard for some so I want to see how those do while burning. These will be out for a while so if you are at all on the fence, you will have lots of time to snag them ❤️

If you burn White Birch & Rain and Kittens & Cashmere outside the mint note imight help repel insects. 🐜 I agree with a previous comment that I wanted the latter to be a warm cashmere blanket type scent instead. Mint has never screamed fall to me and I wish they did something more creative for fall instead. To me pomander is Christmas and not fall and in my book it has to have clove and I noticed clove isn’t even in the notes. I hope they rerelease yours because I missed out on it. Warm & Toasty sounds like one I’d like around Halloween…I don’t do Halloween candles, but I like a campfire toasted marshmallow or smoked vanilla fragrances then instead. The berry scone one sounds good to me.🍂🍎

@MrKongsMom

Oh good call on the insect repellant. We do have a "water source" in our backyard so mosquitos can get kind of wild sometimes. There is no clove in the pomander scent but honestly, it's a great scent despite that. I kind of wish they would have put it in the kringle jar. Would be great to burn alongside my collab candle and have the vessels match. The more I smell Warm and Toasty the more I like it. Its a great take on a toasty marshmallow.

I hate to say this, but I’m not excited about this line up with the exception of Bourbon Apple. 😕
