Pumpkin candles are not my thing- but I saw this on clearance and decided to give it a whirl. I thought of saving it for Thanksgiving next year...but then I ran low on candles and decided to go ahead and at least try it.
Nest claims:
Pumpkin Chai creates a cozy autumn ambiance with a blend of pumpkin, spicy masal chai, cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon.
One thing I noticed straight away is how much smaller the glass is from previous candles from the brand. Shrinkflation?
Even though I'm not a fan of Pumpkin candles I have burned through quite a few. Them being on sale always gets me. I have previously burned through Voluspa Spiced Pumpkin Latte, Yankee Candle Pumpkin Pie, I think of all those the Yankee Candle Pumpkin Pie was the best, and second place is Voluspa. I think this one would probably fall in last place.
It definitely smells like a pumpkin custard but it's too sweet. Overwhelmingly sweet and that's most of what I smell. It gets tiresome really quickly and I usually put it out fast. I don't get any of the claimed spices- I would actually call this candle Pumpkin Caramel.
On the plus, the throw is really good. It melts evenly and I haven't had any problems with sooting.
Pumpkin candles still aren't for me. I'm glad I tried it on sale...but this one did not change my mind.
