Wax Haul : Tiffany Candles - Dec '14

Tiffany chunklets make me want to cheer.

I've got chunklets, yes I do. I've got chunklets, how 'bout you?

Cheesy. I can't help it.

They are cutie, cute, cute and the perfect size for my tea light warmers that have smaller sized bowls. 

I've had these chunklets on my mind for several months but a conversation I had with Jacqui (she was telling me how great the new blend is performing for her) made my quest for obtaining them an outright mission. For a while there, they were pretty difficult to buy, selling out quickly after the restock openings.

I ordered four bags that averaged 8.1 ounces per bag. Each chunklet is about .7 ounces. The price is $10 per bag or $1.23 per ounce.  Shipping is charged by the exact amount to ship to recipient. Turn around time is fourteen days.

cranberry w/ peppermint noel 

blonde moment w/ cotton candy frosting

creamy vanilla w/ mrs. frost 

november rain w/ lavender milk

cranberry w/ peppermint noel overpour - the cranberry is very faint in this blend. If you're a peppermint lover or even if you're a cranberry hater but love peppermint, you would enjoy this blend. I'm having a full on peppermint conversion happening to my nosebuds so I will enjoy this.

blonde moment w/ cotton candy frosting overpour - from my order, this is my favorite. It's a safe, sweet scent that reminds me slightly of pink bubble gum. For the blonde moment part, I'm not picking up too much of the iced champagne, raspberry or cranberry.

creamy vanilla w/ mrs. frost overpour - Mrs. Frost is a house blend with cinnamon and candy cane. I think of cinnamon hots when I smell this. If you are a cinnamon fan, you will love this or anything with Mrs. Frost in it.

november rain w/ lavender milk overpour - the scent description for november rain is airy, watery, warm amber. It goes very well with lavender milk resulting in a soothing, masculine scent that is both clean and spa like. This is a close second for being my favorite.

With the exception of the november rain scent, all of the blends are heavily dominated by the overpour scent.  Looking at the chunklets themselves, you can see that the chunks make up about a fourth of the actual tart. I think if some of the more dominant scents (like peppermint and mrs. frost) were the chunk and not the overpour, the blend would have been more harmonious. 

I love the size and shape of these! I would love them equally as much if the oils were just blended and they were chunkless. But then they wouldn't be called chunklets.

These are addictive to order and I see more orders for me in the future. Tiffany gets wildly creative with her blends and I love that about her. It's evident that she isn't afraid to take scent risks.

A month ago I posted my favorite vendors list and I listed Tiffany's as moderately difficult to order from. I just checked her open and well stocked website (chunklets included) and it's only fair to change that to easy to order from. She announces restocks on her Facebook page regularly. 

Once I melt through a good portion of this order, I'm certain I'll be able to move Tiffany Candles from the undecided category to recommended or highly recommended.

  1. Those ARE cute. The Mrs. Frost blend immediately caught my eye because I think I've had Mrs. Frost in the past and loved it, or I've been trying to get it. When I tried to place an order last fall, her shop was still difficult. I couldn't even find some things.

    The cranberry blend perked my interest, and it's weird. I've not really liked the cranberry-mint type scents I've come across but I always have an 'Ooooh, want!' reaction when I see one. lol

  2. @Deb - I was hoping the vanilla would help Mrs. Frost be a little less cinnamon-y for my taste but I'm afraid it's just not so. The cinnamon has a distinct dryness to it.
    Oh that pesky Ooooh, want! reaction. I know it all too well :)

  3. These pictures are wonderful! I love the colors. I was going to say the Blonde Moment and Lavender Rain ones would be my faves form this order too. I love love love cinnamon but really never came to enjoy the Mrs. Frost blend. Very strange note lurking in there. I do love the size and shape of her chunks though. If I could custom blend some chunklets I would be in heaven. Her pink rosemary mint would be the first bag on my list. Enjoy your baby chunkies! Can I tell you how long it took me to figure out what TSW stood for. Felt like such a newbie when I finally put together Thirty Street Wax. Doh! Probably because I have never bought from them.

  4. @Julie - I think you would really like the lavender rain (amber/sandalwood reminds me of you).
    Yes, TSW is a tricker. I think technically it might be TSC since her website name is Thirty Street Crafts. <3

  5. Lerv her chunklets! Blonde moment/cotton candy frosting? OH GIRRRRLL...AWESOME choice! The size is so perfect for smaller warmers and smaller areas of the home. Woot! creamy vanilla w/ mrs. frost sounds incredible, I think I got a Hocus Pocus/Mrs. Frost blend a couple months ago, and it's delish! Keeping my eye on her FB page.
