‘Made me sick’: Shoppers are turning their noses up at Kmart's controversial candles!
- Replies 5
Kmart: the go-to place for unique, wallet-friendly finds. Name it, the cult favourite store probably has it.
The budget retailer recently released a new line of candles to keep the aromatic joy alive. The ‘Sprinkles’ line has three scents: vanilla cookie, caramel waffle, and frosted cupcake, priced at $10 per jar.
The frosted cupcake variant seems to have won over a sweet-toothed segment of the market, with its scent described as ‘yummy’.
While some customers are raving about the deliciously named candles, not everyone is enamoured with Kmart's latest olfactory offerings.
A number of shoppers have expressed their distaste, with some claiming the candles had an unpleasant aroma.
'They smell terrible,' one shopper lamented.
'I loved the look of them but would never burn them.'
Another critic was quick to question the craze, pointing out possible health hazards.
‘Why does everyone go crazy for Kmart candles, they smell so fake. Yes the jar [is] cute but they’re full of toxins! Plus their cents [sic] are gross.’
The debate doesn't end with the scent itself. Some customers have reported that the candles' fragrances are too faint.
'I got home from work yesterday and my partner had lit one of these hours earlier. Couldn't even smell it,' oney shared.
Despite the mixed reviews, Kmart's candles found a second purpose thanks to people’s creativity.
Customers have found alternative uses for the beautiful jars, such as chic storage for toothbrushes and toothpaste or as decorative elements in their homes.
It's clear that Kmart's new candle range has sparked a fiery discussion among Australian shoppers.
Whether you're a fan of sweet-smelling treats or prefer a more subtle approach to home fragrances, it's always worth considering the value, smell, and longevity of the product.
If you do find yourself with a candle that doesn't quite hit the mark, a sprinkle of creativity can transform it into a delightful piece of decor.
