REVIEW: 719 Walnut Avenue 3-wick Candle (Bath and Body Works Dupe)

There has been a lot of chatter going on about the candles that recently appeared on the shelves at Walmart--the 719 Walnut Avenue candle. The main reason being is that it looks so much like our beloved Bath & body works candles for about 1/4th of the cost. All of the candles I saw were $4.93 where Bath and Body Works candles are priced at $22.50 when a sale is not going on. Everyone wants to know: is it a dupe?

My mama taught me one thing about candles: if you can rub the top of the candle and oil is on your finger...it's a winner. Needless to say, I gave it a test and it passed! These candles were found in the cleaning section with the air fresheners and brand name candles instead of the candle aisle. This candle smells amazing, the scent filled my house quickly and I'm just generally in love with this candle. It burns evenly throughout and I found that it burned the same time-wise, if not better.  From what I can tell, they originally looked similar to Yankee Candles. 

"Find your own seaside retreat with a tropical blend of fruits, coconut, milk and sugarcane." 

I would say Caribbean Villa smells tropical with tiny hints of floral; I caught whiffs of coconut, mango and maybe some exotic berries. The overall scent is great; it's tropical but more of a sweet tropical and not so tropical that the scent overwhelms you.  I will definitely be repurchasing more of these little babies as they are perfect, affordable dupes for the Bath and Body Works 3-Wick Candles. Not to mention, these candle jars will be just as perfect for my makeup brush holders as the bath and body works jars are!
