    Kudos to Mick Kittredge for sending these to you - and unfortunately he’s not gonna love this review. But these course corrections are so necessary, even if they burn a bit 😉 Thanks for your professional honesty!

    Thank you so much for telling the TRUTH. I have spent a good amount of money with Kringle and never had any that threw well or had such a crave-able fragrance that I needed backups. All the influencers keep telling us how amazing they are, but I just never experienced it myself. Watching your review I know its not just me! It does make me feel kind of sad about the current state of candle reviews, and the way candles are pushed and marketed on social media. I thank you for providing feedback we can trust.

      It took me years to realize Homeworx and Kringle will almost always disappoint on throw. I now only buy if there's a sale with super deep discounts.

  • @danieladonati274
    @danieladonati274 Před rokem +9

    See so many ambassadors were raving about the throw with the new soya candles which I obviously believed- bought q candle and smelled ... Nothing! Bring back paraffin!

  • @kimberlyperreaultbryantfra7211

    I really appreciate your honesty. Like you said probably to your detriment. A lot of the other ambassadors just give glowing reviews. $30 is a lot to spend on low throw or a generic scent, especially when you add shipping costs on top. I’m happy you gave reviews like you were a paying customer. I’ve bought my fare share of Kringle’s. Definitely some great ones but also disappointments too. Just like every candle company.

    I had much of the same issues with the strength and throw of most if not all of the candles I purchased from Kringle. I didn't enjoy having to burn the candle for hours to marginally amp up the strength and I was burning them in my medium-ish sized room. Whereas the candles I typically burn, I can smell within minutes so it's an adjustment for sure. Thanks for the follow up!

    Please try Yankee Signature Collection! You will be impressed, as I am. I been purchasing more Yankee this year and pretty happy. The fragrances bring a smile to my face. I been burning Yankee since the OG days when they were “Country Kitchen” back in the 90s.

    Thank u! I've been waiting for this video! Finally a review I can trust n that I know is totally honest! All I see is that these are the best n strongest candles n I know from my own experience that's not true! I just really appreciate ur honesty! I know u did get these in pr, but I also know ur very truthful n ur not gonna blow smoke up my @ss to try n get me to purchase these candles! Ur awesome dude! 😊

  • @andreadini6303
    @andreadini6303 Před rokem +3

    Thank you for your review. I have been purchasing Kringle Candle on and off for several years now. I started really buying into the hype due to the influx of influencers reviewing these candles. Most only have AMAZING things to say. Although I have found a few scents that I enjoy and perform well, I do find many of them to be lacking on scent. They are no where near as strong as many claim. Happy to have other candle company choices too!

  • @nataliebranchini4984
    @nataliebranchini4984 Před rokem +2

    Thanks for your honest review. I’d expect no less from you. I agree that Kringle suffers from a lack of throw generally. I was hoping to drop HW and move to Kringle as my BBW backup. I need the blow-it-out-of-your-house BBW strength. Nothing compares. Sigh.

  • @spectroman71
    @spectroman71 Před rokem +3

    Right after your Rosemary Applerita review, the screen cut away to a BBW commercial :) LMAO. Anyway - I really enjoyed your reviews and again thank you for being open to Kringle! (I'm not an employee). I think it's important to note a couple things: 1) I don't think BBW necessarily "created" every one of these scents from scratch so sometimes when comparing other brands to BBW, you may want to remember that it's not so much about how, say, who came up with apple oil first, but rather how each company interprets it, and 2) that not everybody wants a really strong throwing candle, especially in a small space. I love BBW, but some of them are so painfully strong in a condo that they knock me out and cause a migraine. That's not a sign that a candle is good IMO - more like, "Toxic". You are correct, the Halloween line is really spectacular and is very popular, but I can tell you right now you won't like most of the scent profiles :) If they do send you a box of the limited series Halloween jars, I hope you give them some screen time either way. I'll definitely use your code when I buy next!

  • @amandaboger1126
    @amandaboger1126 Před rokem +4

    I have had the same experience with most of their candles with few exceptions. Midnight has a good throw. Dupe for Yankee midsummer’s night which used to be one of my favorite candles but now has no throw. I bought several of their Halloween candles last year. They were definitely expensive. I was so excited because there was so much hype. They were packaged beautifully, but I have never been so disappointed in a Candle purchase in my life. No throw until you got close to the bottom of the candle. I left a review that was never posted. I will not be making that mistake again this year.

  • @natalieb2758
    @natalieb2758 Před rokem +4

    I have had very similar experiences with Kringle. The best I have found for throw are the 3 wicks and still I find they just aren't to my satisfaction. In all fairness my ceilings are very tall and my rooms are large and open.

  • @taylornation320
    @taylornation320 Před rokem +2

    Thank you for reviewing. It does suck seeing people getting free candles and all they do is say, "it smells really good" instead of actually using it or even talking about what it smells like.
    I gotta say im surprised, I haven't had a million Kringle candles but ive had more than a handful and they were all strong and on par with bbw. Hit and miss of course. For example i have fresh bamboo from bbw going.. obviously its a 10. Ebony sands going in the other room.. absolute trash, i literally cannot smell anything. No company has perfect ones across the board:(
    Also agree they need some damn sales. I want kringle Halloween but no way am i paying 30 bucks plus shipping per candle. Helllll nahhhhh
    That apple Rita is in a very cute 3 wick too :)

  • @beautybug1831
    @beautybug1831 Před rokem +5

    Hey, Kent!
    Once again, thank you for saving us the extra dollars on candles that don't throw (Or have a very poor throw...) Some that don't function properly, and others that are just... meh 😮‍💨
    I had such high expectations from this fall line-up. Both Kringle & Country Candle. Such a shame most of the candles aren't worth buying.
    I really love Kringle/Country Candle, and I do own a lot of their candles. However, as much as I burn them, I realize that they do have a lot of hit-and-miss... 😬
    I wish all of their candles were wonderful, and performed to perfection just as some of these staples... #MustHaveCandles

    @prescotthenry1727 Před rokem +1

    Thanks for the honest review!! We can’t afford to spend money on low quality products. This company, that sells almost exclusively online, must deliver the throw and quality fragrance in the customer’s home.
    Too bad Kringle is letting us down.

  • @snackpack113
    @snackpack113 Před rokem +2

    I have not tried the new fall line, but I have liked the Kringle that I have purchased. I never had a 3 or 4 throw except in the past Halloween collection; most have been a 6 with some a 7. I do agree they could be a bit stronger, but I wouldn't want them to be as strong as BBW that blows me out of the house every time. I usually purchase BBW when I want that. I do like the Kringle jars & labels. Maybe try their 3wick to see if you like those. Thanks for your review and opinion.:)

  • @Chandler02
    @Chandler02 Před rokem +1

    I will be saving my coin on these, I was interested at first but after watching your review I definitely reconsider. I can’t justify that price point with a very light throw.

  • @amysscentsandsongs
    @amysscentsandsongs Před rokem +1

    Thank you Kent for reviewing these so quickly - it must have been a burn-a-thon! I have experienced some of the same flatness in some of the Kringle soy candles, but have greatly enjoyed others (Aurum and Evergreen, Snow-Capped Fraser, Rosemary Lemon). I had some beautiful experiences in the Country paraffin lineup (Cilantro Apple Lime, Minted Lemonade, Warm Apple Pie) although those did soot heavily. I love that the soy formula doesn't soot as badly, but it does seem to muffle the throw. **Sigh** Thank you as always for your honesty and good cheer - it's always a joy to see you. Take care friend! 💕🤗

  • @artsymom31
    @artsymom31 Před rokem +1

    Granted, I’ve only made a couple of Kringle purchases, but I am very underwhelmed. I don’t get the performance I expect for the price point. I appreciate your candor. I was starting to think there was something wrong with me!

  • @jenniferyandSky
    @jenniferyandSky Před rokem +2

    I appreciate your reviews on these candles. It's hard to get a good idea of how the candles perform from most of the other reviewers.
    I had the same disappointing experience with the candles smelling different when burning than on cold. I do like the fragrance of Cashmere and Cocoa and Snowy Bridge. But , both have a light throw and I don't plan on re-purchasing them. I have only bought from Kringle when they have clearance sales. That being said I'd rather buy from other companies because generally I don't like Kringle's take on fragrances, candle throw or design.
    Have a good one!

  • @tracyhoward5256
    @tracyhoward5256 Před rokem +4

    I think it's really just hit-or-miss like your review shows. I got a couple recent country candles that were amazing..cosmic cupcake and blueberry coconut tart; these are some of my favorite candles ever!
    As far as Halloween candles go Kringle is far superior to BBW. I'm not paying almost $40 for a candle with a special lid from BBW. The Kringle Halloween candles have so much depth and uniqueness to them!

  • @andreahenderson8719
    @andreahenderson8719 Před rokem

    I just purchased 5 Candles from Kringle that I’m waiting on. One is a repurchase. I love their Blueberry Muffin fragrance so I got 2 of them. Not sure about the other ones but hopefully I don’t have the same experience.

  • @TaylorMMontgomery
    @TaylorMMontgomery Před rokem +5

    Not to be a hater but you should not have to burn any candle for 4 hours to start to smell them. Sorry. You can get throw from a Glade candle right after lighting it.

  • @katiep7819
    @katiep7819 Před rokem +1

    Thank you so very much Kent for reviewing all these! I think i will still try a few of these..i have a tiny little house so i might get a satisfactory throw out of them. Im definitely not gonna do a big haul of them like i was thinking😅 Thanks again!!!❤🍁🦉

  • @EvanRo
    @EvanRo Před rokem +2

    Not sure about the new country soy line but with the white soy, you should and can burn that initial burn w/o clipping the wicks. They designed to wicks to be able to do that. Maybe it gives a hotter burn then? Not sure, but I have yet to notice the throw being poor. I probably have about 50 or so and had maybe one be a weaker throw. I have yet to try these ones at all though. As usual I really appreciate your honesty and your humor. I do hope Kringle will take into consideration your opinion.

  • @violetlucille
    @violetlucille Před rokem +1

    In my experience Kringle has been hit or miss (mostly miss). The throw is pretty weak when burning so I usually end up crocking them. For me, it is beyond irritating to spend money on a candle just to put it in a candle crock. Kudos to you for putting out an honest review of these candles. In my eyes, many of the ambassadors lose credibility for their reviews when I see they've only burned the candle once before their review, or if I hear them say they had to put it in a hurricane.

  • @jillj5544
    @jillj5544 Před rokem +2

    Exactly why you are the KING of candle reviews. Tsv homeworx PR was a let down. Those candles should hv been burned and reviewed as soon as they launched. Appreciate your timely honest reviews on burned PR candles..after all agreed that’s the whole point..😊❤

  • @drawnhere
    @drawnhere Před rokem +5

    The Country Candles seem like cheapo grocery store candles, but with an insane price point. 🤷 As for the regular Kringle Candles, the two times I've tried them, there was practically no throw, which was a shame, because of how absolutely beautiful they were.

    I just got all mine and I agree with you on these. Nothing is offensive to me, it's all good and I'll definitely enjoy them. The standouts to me were cherry crumble, applerita rosemary and bourbon bonfire. I think kringle needs to cut the dupes out. It's tacky for their price point. People were saying leaf peeper was like leaves plus something else, girl it's straight leaves. LOL

    @daisygirrl1234 Před rokem +2

    Kringle candle have never thrown the way I wanted them to. Honestly for the prices they want for them ….they should be luxury candles. They have balls for putting out their Halloween candles every year with no sale. I would much rather put my money into yankee and bath and body. I thank you for having your own opinions this is America after all I think people forget that!!!

  • @thatssus6045
    @thatssus6045 Před rokem

    I love the honesty! I do purchase Kringle candles, but only on a really good sale and that’s because even with the new 3 wicks they are still only at a medium throw with the “strong” scents. I typically have to burn two as well. I do love the performance of the all soy wax though. It’s unmatched imo.

  • @amyg.5376
    @amyg.5376 Před rokem +1

    Wow, thanks for this quick follow-up! The only Kringle candle that I've repurchased was Pumpkin Cheesecake - it had a good throw and a lovely scent. About 10 years ago they had a good lemon scent which I always used in my kitchen, but I see it's no longer available. I also dislike this new trend of charging extra for "shipping protection" which Kringle does. Just package them correctly in the first place. When I mentioned this in a review the owner of Kringle responded and got kind of bitchy with me.🙄

    • @smellgoodsinside
      @smellgoodsinside Před rokem +1

      The Route protection is optional. You don’t have to pay for it if you don’t want it. It’s mainly for lost packages. Kringle will definitely send you a replacement when you receive broken candles. And their packaging is the best I’ve ever seen! Truly. Yankee would be second with the packaging. BBW’s packaging is TRASH! I wish it wasn’t, but it is. I have gotten so many broken and spilled items with BBW. 😢😢

  • @srlopez13
    @srlopez13 Před rokem

    I like the longer and clean burn of the Kringle line, but it has to have a medium throw or I will not repurchase, even if it’s a scent I like. Christmas Cookie Dough has been the only one that I have repurchased so far. I have never tried the Country line. Based on your review, I plan to get the Bourbon one.

My issue with Kringle is the throw - have many and while burning the throw is marginal at best & all the while I'm thinking it must be me as many reviewers/ambassadors for said brand amp them up.
