The New Candles Bath and Body Works released for holiday online and in stores on Candle Day even calling the collection HYGGE on store receipts and papers.

And their look-alikes with scent notes from a Scandinavian Candle Company .

BÆR [BARE], reminisces of family trips to the forest to forage for cloudberries, blueberries and lingonberries, of sweet-smelling reductions on the stove and warm, zingy sauces poured over ice cream.

FJORD, [F-YOR] Coniferous forests, crashing waterfalls and abundant fruits magnify the drama of the Norwegian fjords. With joyous notes of woods and ripening orchards, wild berries, blackcurrants and raspberry flowers.

Ö [URR], silken lakes, secluded islands, silent forests. Memories of rowing to a deserted island, the slippery touch of damp rockmoss underfoot, and the fragrant green embrace of dog-rose and crabapples.

Hygge [HU-GAH] is Danish DNA, a reflection of the Scandinavian art of creating intimacy, fellowship and cosiness in the smallest everyday moments. With echoes of tea and baked strawberry cake, rose petals and wild mint.

KOTO [KO-TO], the traditional Finnish word for ‘cosy at home’. A refuge from the rugged Nordic climate, an intimate space to refresh the soul. KOTO blends delicate notes of Baltic amber and schersmin with exotic mandarin and vanilla.

UL [YOOL], Scandinavian for ‘christmas’.

Rituals, Myth & Magic. A richly spiced scent for the home with bold notes of baked gingerbread, melted honey, cloves, and warm gløgg.

RO [RO], peace, calm and tranquility from the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. A subtle symphony of fresh grass and crumpled leaves, ambered woods and hidden blankets in the dunes.

FLAMMA [FLA-MMA], Swedish for flame.

Fireside Glow. The magnetic pull of the hearth, the smokey notes of burning logs, of golden resin oozing from the pine, and the glow of faces mesmerised by the flames.

Bath & Body Works | Semi-Annual Sale - Return of the Sweet Shop Candles

Today, Bath and Body Works has confirmed that the Sweet Shop Candle Collection will be returning to the Semi Annual Sale beginning December 26th in stores.

We all pretty much knew something was going on when stores had accidentially put out some of the back room stock candles for Candle Day December 2nd and those pictures had hit social media.

People were going nuts wondering if it was a fluke....could it be a new pour date batch or were these the return of the popular 2014 collection from some archive stock???

The more it was shared the more information came out and the Pink Bubblegum, Lavender Marshmallow and the Strawberry Sorbet candles that were supposed to be held in the back storage room were sold when they shouldn't have been. That, will definately flag a store!

Happily, the stores received notice today to expect these popular candles for this year end sale.

Now I am wondering which candles will return? If you were a buyer of this beloved collection, you will remember that a few of the candles were considered failed during testing and didn't hit the stores. Pink Bubblegum, and Lavender Marshmallow I ordered from a test store and received...and I cannot remember if Honey Cinnamon Pound Cake or Pineapple Cream Puff came out. I don't remember that they did. Too many candle collections ago.

The Lids on the Sweet Shop Candle Collection then had an embossed lid.

The new candles are showing a plain shiny lid.

I am also wondering at what price point will we see these candles? Half off? And half off of what dollar amount?

Here is the list of scent notes that I had from their release back then...and in about two weeks we will see just what Bath and Body Works revived for us to enjoy.
