Horrible!
"I am a HUGE VBN fragrance fan so I thought I would love this. I should have listened to the reviews on here because they are so true. This candle is extremely disappointing and has no fragrance/throw when lit. I'm taking it back to the store to get another one that actually fills the room with scent! This was basically the same as an unscented candle.."

No scent throw
"I knew better than to order this scent after reading all the bad reviews. This candle has no scent throw at all. It burns well, but it's dead. Will be returning to the store!"

Where's the Scent?
"I think that this candle smells wonderful cold, but once you start to burn it, you can't even smell it. I'm not sure why that is. All I know is that it is really unfortunate."

Not strong enough!
"When I lifted the lid I could smell the caramel vanilla goodness of Vanilla Bean Noel, but it was very, very light and I could tell that this candle wasn't going to be strong at all. Upon lighting it and leaving it for a couple hours, sadly I was right and there was almost no scent coming off it. Too bad, because I really like Vanilla Bean Noel!"

Yummy!
"I have the Vanilla Bean Noel in all the products ranging from bubble bath to the fragrance mist. The candle smells just like the body products. This candle smells good enough to eat. I've reordered this candle 4 times.The scent transports me back to my childhood. I had a cool mother who would take me & my sister to the bakery to buy us a "treat" to eat that night after we got home from our dentist appointment! Excellent throw, burns perfectly. Buy it - you won't be disappointed!"

Please work on this candle!
"I absolutely love the Vanilla Bean Noel fragrance and hoard the bath products every year because I never want to be without them. I am SO disappointed in this candle. Like several other people have said, there is almost no fragrance. I won't buy it again unless it is improved. It would be beyond wonderful if it actually had a throw of fragrance. All us VBN addicts need this candle to be made fragrant as it should be. Please!"

let down
"I really liked the scent of this candle upon opening the lid, but the performance was a total let down. The flames were nice and big and it melted fast and even...but you cannot smell it at all... not even a few feet away. Such a bummer."

OUTSTANDING !
"I am not understanding all the negative reviews...maybe because I did not try this candle last year. Purchased it last week end, burned it till it was gone this week and I am headed to my BBW store to stock up because I know it's a seasonal fragrance. The smell is wonderful, the throw of the smell is fantastic, burns great and clean, what more can I say. I was hooked on the Marshmallow Fireside but now it's this scent. The Merry Cookie smells like your baking cookies and is also wonderful. Please don't listen to all the negative reviews....try it for yourself because BBW is wonderful about wanting their customers to be 100% happy and you can return or exchange it."

has no smell :(
"I have never written a bad review before, but I must say that this candle has ZERO smell. Vanilla Bean Noel is such an amazing flavor in other products, but not the candle. Skip the candle and stick with the lotion."

3 years in a row..
"This is the 3rd year in a row that Vanilla Bean Noel is just a really nasty scent in candle form. I LOVE it in body care, so why can't the candle smell like it?? It has the lightest throw burning in a small 9 by 9 bedroom and doesn't even smell like true vanilla bean noel. Just smells nasty. Come on B&BW, if you can't make it smell like it does in body care form then don't waste your time releasing it next year! Simple as that!"

"I don't understand the reviews about this scent not being strong. I've purchased many of these candles this year and the throw is outstanding. This is one of my all time favorite scents!"

Almost no throw
"I hate to add to another bad review for this candle, but, it must be done. The cold throw was so promising, but upon lighting, it becomes a huge disappointment. I had it burning in a small bathroom and I still was unable to smell it that well. I have to admit, the burn was incredible and It obtained an even wax pool within 20 minutes. The only issue is the scent is very weak."

Weak Scent
"This scent from this candle is weak at best. I LOVE the lotions/sprays and wallflowers of this fragrance so I ordered this candle online. Alas, it smells like nothing. I even tested it out in a small bathroom with the door closed to see if it would get a scent going in a small space but... nothing. Very disappointing."

what happened ???
"Since I am a vanilla bean lover I was so excited to see that BBW would be bringing this back in candle form. However, I must say that the throw is EXTREMELY WEAK! The design on the candle is so pretty but I am very disappointed with it's performance BBW I know you can do better! : ("

Favorite candle of the season
"I looooove this candle.... It smells amazing and it is my favorite scent at bath and body works. The throw isn't overpowering which I like and the burn is perfect. I cant wait to buy more of these after I get through my recent purchase."

Beautiful Scent but...
"I had to hold it an inch away from my face while burning to be able to smell it. For some reason this scent just does not travel, it just sorta swirls a couple inches away from the candle. Such a huge disappointment."

Just OK
"I bought this candle last year and thought it smelled good, but when I started burning it, the scent became very overpowering and too strong after awhile. I stopped burning it. After reading this year's reviews, I might have to give it another try, seems like they lightened it up a bit."

Good candle but...
"I love the scent but , the wick is really bad the first time I lit the candle the wicks were bending over and the flame was not that high. The wick in the front is almost broken, but over all it is a good candle"
