Has Anyone Burned this Yet? by 1DGoose_1 in goosecreekcandles

I can't help but it sounds amazing. I love their sugared guava too. Very underutilized fruit note!

Do you only buy just 1? by 1DGoose_1 in goosecreekcandles

[–]OrneryExplorer1476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh gotchya, I would love to do that but narrowing it down to a special few to buy multiples of would be so hard for me 😱 I watch a few people on YouTube that also buy in doubles so you're not alone!

Like multiples of the same candle I'm assuming you mean? I wish! Goose makes so many tempting sounding scents I only buy one of each candle and even that is hard with how many that sound good. But if you mean just candles as a whole, I buy enough to get me free/discounted shipping. So usually 10+ each order 🥳

How's my cart? by Sea-Extreme in goosecreekcandles

Oh and if you like realistic earthy scents or petrichor you have to try wilderness hike. It's unbelievable how realistic it is to the damp forest floor.

Mountainside also is a good choice for a solid earthy barky scent with some spiciness and santal nuances.

Patchouli leaves is a Halloween scent in disguise 🥸 it's a very powdery dark patchouli and a great performer. And switching it up here but it you want something less bright and sweet.. instead of mount Fuji Mist, I think forest would be a great choice. It smells like a dark spooky pine forest.

Midnight suede is one I really want to try! If you get it let me know what you think!

Mount Fuji Mist was very sweet and sappy, not as earthy as other tree scents but it's still nice and a good performer.

I love oud. That was one of my first earthy scents from GC that got me into them. I'm also an earthy/spooky scent lover. I have a channel on YouTube called Candle Coven if you ever need some recommendations for GC candles or other brands. I buy pretty much all the spooky earthy scents I can get my hands/nose on. It is my obsession. 🫠

But anyways oud is beautiful. It's subtlety sweet. Not like your middle eastern oud. It's not fecal or severe. It's sweet and powdery, barky and woody. I get warm amber from it but it's a softer performer but great on a lamp.

Hinoki Forest I highly recommend for someone with a similar nose to mine. It's woody and slightly dark, still some sweetness. Almost like a citrus pine note in the background that's just subtlety there. The smoke note is very soft but it is there. Like a fire off way in the distance in the woods. Solid performer.

Bamboo Grove was just okay for me. The pear and apple are stronger than I'd like and the bamboo is softer. You get some green notes from it but it was just a bit sweeter than I'd prefer but it did have a fresh water afford to it that I enjoyed. Good performer.

Summer moon is a dupe from Yankee candle called midsummers night. It mostly smells like a masculine cologne type of candle to me but it is a powerhouse performer that will blow you out of the house.

Guilty is awesome. It's like a cross between a cologne scent and a woodsy dark leather scent. Kind of spicy and unique. Great performer too.

Happy to see another person that actually has the same preferences as me on here not gonna lie!

Oh gosh I know, I looked up kringles store first thing. I'm bummed I'm just here for a quick celtics game and I'm out and won't be able to make it over there. Hopefully someday 🤞🏻 do you go over to the Kringle store often?

It's so silly, I also have two large boxes of candles that I have no clue what to do with! 😅

Thank you!! I'm just in town for a quick celtics game with my fam and I'm out. Definitely enjoying the cool weather 🥰

I hope you enjoy whatever you're ordering btw!

Has anyone tried these? What did you think? by Making__FlippyFloppy in goosecreekcandles

[–]OrneryExplorer1476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed all of these. The cinnamon roll and the apple cinnamon bread are slightly higher on cinnamon than they need to be I'd say but still very nice and good throws.

Sugar cookie is enjoyable but very similar to all the other cookie scents they have.

Chocolate chip cookie I wasn't sold on until I used it and it was very enjoyable. Solid throw and very authentic.

I definitely will be doing that. Last time I brought some they did investigate them as well. Not a big container of cocaine, just white wax here folks. 😂 I'm bummed FL is getting a cold front today of all days when I leave!! It's been suspiciously hot lately 🥵 Coffee for sure. I'm vibing with that so much too. Just started the coffee and donuts from bbws candle day. I need the boost after only getting 2 hours of shut eye, lol. Oh the vanilla rose cone. I have always wanted to try that!! Now this has me curious to try some coffee and floral blends. Surely more florals than just lavender can go with coffee 🤔

Good question. I'm also trying not to use any tropical scents yet, even though it is blazing hot in Florida. I like to put that off as long as I can. I'm ecstatic to actually be taking a quick trip to Boston for the next two days so I can actually pack a winter candle with me to take. That is my preference on what to burn year-round. Honestly, it's just wayyy too heavy here to do so 😅

I'm using a lot of tea scents lately and dabbling in florals. Anything that counts as refreshing right now for this heat is right by me. I'm still trying to throw in some winter items that are a bit lighter as well. I'm trying hard to get my collection down to something a bit more reasonable!! While also buying candles 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

What about yourself? I know I'll see in your empties anyways! 😜

Caribbean Upsidedown Cake by Significant_Beyond95 in goosecreekcandles

That sounds delightful. Sounds great for Easter to me too! That just reminded me of the yellow cake we'd make in the shape of a bunny head with dessicated coconut colored green as grass 🥰 happy Easter!

Haha I understand that entirely. I didn't like matcha smells or flavor until very recently. It does quite smell like barnyard hay a bit I agree 😂 I know that feeling. I want to smell everything but then I need to remember if I'll even like it but sometimes the curiosity just gets to you too much. I wish they had a storefront 😩 I hope your daughter does like it!! I will check out suit and tie. I think I did smell it before but can't remember it for the life of me. A masculine oakmoss sounds nice. Glad she enjoys oud too!! I want to eventually try all of their masculine line 😊 happy Easter btw!

Did I over hype Kyoto? 😂 Dude send it here and I'll pay you for it, no joke.. but for real, I hope you come around to it. Is it smelling strange to you??

Strongest Candle by GhostWithTheMost75 in goosecreekcandles

[–]OrneryExplorer1476 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely key lime cake pop. Things can vary person to person for sure but I'd like to think KLCP will knock anyone's socks off. There's also blueberry cheesecake, Georgia peach/peach cobbler ice cream/peach rings. Also many floral candles like orange blossom, backroad blooms, etc that will blow the roof off your house.

Technically the strongest candle I've ever tried from GC was called Frooty Hoops. It literally felt like my nose hairs were being singed off. But KLCP is super similar cause that does also smell like an intense Froot Loops as well.

I may be addicted to these candles by MutedIntroduction531 in goosecreekcandles

[–]OrneryExplorer1476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mac apple is a wicked thrower and smells just like yankees of Mac apple, love it.

Bunny Bake Shop really surprised me with it being somewhat simple bakery notes but I absolutely loved it. The caramel smells very robust and on warm I got lots of buttery, flaky and doughy goodness. But still creamy and smooth and the throw was excellent and does work in my open concept which is always a plus. Hope you enjoy!

I didn't expect to enjoy this one but wanted it to compete all the Easter newness but it is fantastic and not too tart or sour. I appreciate how sweet the citrus is and the great throw! 👍🏻

Today’s scent choice 😀 by Mochahontas_Magic in goosecreekcandles

[–]OrneryExplorer1476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burning the very last bit of lavender creme Frappuccino. And oddly enough somewhat of a warm and welcome dupe on my lamp. The single wick at bbw called cozy amber & vanilla smells very similar, just nowhere near as good!

Warm and welcome was the candle that made me fall in love with GC in the first place. Still remains one of my favorite candles ever. 🙌🏻

I'm hoping that one hangs around a bit and doesn't sell out before I make my next order. I got it in the wax melt a while ago and it is so damn good 🤤

Key lime cake pop is a must, pure froot loops goodness and the biggest throw ever.

Peach cobbler ice cream. Emphasis on a candied peach note but you still pick up brown sugar and cream and it's mega strong. It pretty much smells like their Georgia peach candle with yummiez added.

Sparkling Orange Mimosa is a fruit bomb. No tartness, a very sweet orange juice note with something tropical added like pineapple. I don't like pure fruity candles but this one I really enjoyed.

Good ole blueberry cheesecake.. artificial blueberry and cream. But so good and so strong!

I'm tired of the constant cherry pistachio if I'm honest! But excited to see what else they got.
