Initial Thoughts:
I had my first burn of this candle last evening and it seemed to pool out rather quickly with a very strong fragrance filling the room I was in as well as my entire upstairs. I began burning it again tonight and I found the throw is about the same and the fragrance still quite intoxicating.
Now, what did I smell?
I expect an apple fragrance to smell, like a fresh, apple fragrance and this was not a disappointment. Think of Apple Picking season when the apples are still warm from the sun on the tree and you reach up and take it off and bite into it before washing it. The sweetness and the tart perfection hits you like nothing you experience from a store bought fruit.
A crisp, juicy apple scent hit me first; you know that first bite you take out of an apple and the zest hits you just under your nose - that is what this started out like with this sweetness when I thought it would be more tart. Then, the pear took over ( I love pear) and a fresh, green note...and a hint of floral something. Not heavy perfumey...this is an apple scent no doubt.... but there is something in here that rounds out the citrus of the fruits...is it the woods?? The notes rolled around so much I found myself getting up and going closer to the candle to breathe it in. I have been burning this candle for the past few days, numerous times each day to check its burn and it never has diappointed me. For those who love a fresh apple scent I do recommend this candle.
Currently, they are being offered on a presale ( click here ) on easy pay with $5.50 SHIPPING.
These will ship two candles deep inside of a styrofoam lined box.

HomeWorx Candles by Harry Slatkin | Review | Autumn Bonfire

Wick Count: This is a NEW Four WICK candle
The weight of the Candle: The candle weighs approx. 2# 15 ounces

Year: 2018

Fragrance Scent Notes: crackling firewood, amber embers, sandalwood, dark cranberry
Where you can find HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin brand Products: QVC
Initial Thoughts:
Wow, this is one strong candle. This is a candle that will fill a large area with fragrance quickly because it is doing that here now.
I really don't care for candles that smell smokey so I was hoping that this Autumn Bonfire wouldn't be one of those.
Fortunately it isn't smokey at all - Yay - and as it burns you get the ambienance of a flickering fire through that beautiful label. I am so glad I gave it a chance and didn't pass on burning it because of the name and label.
What makes me smile is while it was burning, I was thinking...A library/den... Large, overstuffed leather chairs...dark stained wooden bookcases filled with books whose pages are aged over a lifetime of use...barely any light only what is cast from the fireplace...
First thoughts - One of my favorite scents to burn at the holidays is a chestnut and clove blend of wax from Bath and Body Works and this reminds me so much of that and I think it will be perfect not only for fall but for holiday too!
A deep, rich scent ( is there a hint of vanilla in there?) with tart cranberry, it reminds me of a warm woodsy incense that I attribute to the sandalwood and amber notes blend. I have burned it three times now and it is another I can't seem to get enough of.
This was a Perfect burn everytime.
While you can burn any scent candles at any time of the year, this, for me, is one that will be used now in August and all throughout winter. I wouldn't use this in the spring as I love my fresh, florals then.
The wax pooled out quickly and evenly for me, thanks to the fourth wick and the wicks never needed trimming, just the normal pre-burning care of removing the mushrooms off with a tissue.
Final Thoughts:
What I love the most about shopping on QVC is their return policy. If you are not happy with something you can return it which is great because of online shopping not affording us the chance to actually touch something, try it on or in this case, smell it before we buy it. I must say, I have not been disappointed in any of my HomeWorx Candle purchases to return them and the descriptions were always spot on.
These candles will begin shipping out in September. Currently, they are being offered on a presale ( click here ) on easy pay with $5.50 SHIPPING.
These will ship two candles deep inside of a styrofoam lined box. I would definitely purchase a set of two of these to have for the fall and winter season.

HomeWorx Candles by Harry Slatkin | Review | Autumn Pumpkin
First on my "must have" list of candles...Autumn Pumpkin should be on yours too! Continue reading for my thoughts on this HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin Candle.
HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin Candle Collection: Autumn Pumpkin
Size: This glass jar candle measures approx.: 3.5" tall 5.5" wide at its base 4.75" wide at the top of the jar Wick Count: This is a NEW Four WICK candle
The weight of the Candle: The candle weighs approx. 2# 15 ounces
Wax Content: 18 ounces
Burn Time: The label reads it burns for approx. 30 - 55 hours
Year: 2018
Wax Color: a beautiful autumn orange color
Jar Design Features: sheer label decorated with pepper berries, pumpkins and leaves, with an silver embossed lid
Fragrance Scent Notes: pumpkin, orange, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg
Where you can find HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin brand Products: QVC
Initial Thoughts:
From the minute I opened the box this candle came in, I was drawn to it. How can I not be, I mean look at that label!
Jack Be Little Pumpkins, orange colored pepper berries and autumn leaves scattered around the jar front to back launching in your journey into... Fall!
Then you lift off the lid and you are met with the truest scent of Fall Spice inspiration and Pumpkins Deliciousness.
Almost gourmand to me, it reminded me of a childhood visit to my grandmother's house when she was baking (gingerbread) cake or pumpkin spice bread. The warmth of her kitchen from the oven and the scent of spices made me anxious to cut a big powdered sugared piece right out of the pan and dig in before it had a chance to cool. That is this candle for me.
This candles spice notes are not strong and overpowering, something you may expect from a cinnamon, clove and nutmeg combination. No, these are tempered with a pumpkin note that makes them work together without being overly sweet... if that makes sense. I kept smelling the candle on cold and then when it was burning and I kept thinking...How does he get it to smell creamy? While it states orange as a note, I didn't find this in here predominately...well, certainly not a biting noteable citrus.
The throw on this candle is incredible. Throughout the entire upstairs as well as downstairs, this candle burned perfectly every time and when extinguished the beautiful scent remained well into the following morning. Like my Nana's Cake scent.
I sit in the room it burns in and it never choked me out that I couldn't enjoy it - something that I have had happen before with other candles.
The wax pooled out quickly and evenly for me, thanks to the fourth wick I suppose and the wicks never needed trimming, just the normal pre-burning care of removing the mushrooms off with a tissue.
Final Thoughts:
This is a candle that should be on the top of your candle list for fall.
Try at least one. For me, I know I will enjoy this candle all year long, even into the holidays. This is my "Welcome to my Home" for my guests, and a childhood trip down memory lane for me.
You have nothing to lose if you're not completely happy with the candles when they arrive in September you can return them.
Currently, they are being offered on a presale ( click here ) on easy pay with $5.50 SHIPPING.
These will ship two candles deep inside of a styrofoam lined box. I would definitely purchase more than one of this scent for myself and for the gift drawer.
