When this scent was first announced I was so wary because of the kettle corn note. I honestly wasn’t sure how you could incorporate that scent without it hijacking the other notes. But, as always with this brand, I have been proven wrong. This candle is AMAZING! The scent is the perfect balance of sweet and fresh without being overwhelming. When it’s lit, the fragrance fills the room with a light, airy sweetness that feels really comforting.
What makes it unique is the subtle hint of kettle corn in the background. It’s not overly buttery or heavy—just a gentle, warm note that adds a cozy, nostalgic vibe, almost like walking past a popcorn stand at a fair. The sweetness is soft and slightly sugary, while the fresh notes keep it from feeling too dessert-like. This is one of my top favorite candles Caramel Sundays has ever produced.
To me while burning, it smells like a banana strudel as you can smell the flakey buttered pastry of a strudel with sugar and the vanilla glaze. The ripe bananas are realistic.
I burned this halfway down and for 7x and for 27 hours so far. I would say the banana note is now about 40-45% of the scent and 55-60% of the pastry note.
Throw and projection was a medium until the 4th burn. It became a medium high throw. It stays in the room I am in which is a large partial open living room. It started to travel into the kitchen and into a hallway during the 5th burn.
If you love banana and pastry scents I recommend this candle. It’s a delicious smelling candle.
If you’ve been looking for a scent that captures the literal magic of a summer fair without the sticky fingers, this is it. Most cotton candy sprays miss the mark by being too "fruity." This one nails the spun-sugar texture, smelling more like fluffy clouds and less like a syrup bottle. This spray is a front-row seat to the fairgrounds. It’s authentic, incredibly sweet, and brings a sense of playful joy to any room it touches. If you want your home to smell like a literal carnival dreamscape, buy two bottles.
I love how light and crisp this candle is! It has a really sophisticated 'clean' vibe that fills the room without being too heavy. It’s exactly what I want burning while I do my spring cleaning
Honey Badger candle smells absolutely incredible. The moment you light it, you get the most delicious warm blend of ripe bananas, honey butter, and juicy pineapple it’s sweet without being overpowering.
But the best part is the finish… that soft vanilla note that lingers at the end is just beautiful. It gives the whole scent a cozy, comforting feel that makes your home smell amazing for hours.
You can truly tell it’s hand poured with care. If you love warm, sweet, bakery style scents that still feel clean and elevated, this candle is a must have. I will definitely be buying more!
