As a graphic designer for over 20 years, this really is a horrible design. I'm conflicted. I don't think it was intentional, but I also don't see how it could go to print without them seeing how it could be interpreted. 🥴
I REALLY appreciate your comments and sensitive review about this particular candle. Very fair and validating at the same time. So many have dismissed in a very insensitive manner what many of us saw in this design! I agree that I don't think B&BW made this label look this way intentionally. The "group" was the 2nd thing I saw. Like quickly I first saw ghosts, then it changed to hoods to my eyes. Like right away. 😮 I feel bad for them b/c they are definitely supportive of so many cultures. However, I DON'T feel bad for the design team, department, leader for NOT catching such a horrible design. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
We can't dictate what people see when looking at the image. They did the right thing by pulling the candle. And the wrong thing by not having better quality control.
This is one of the uglier paper snowflake designs they could have chosen, even if that's what they were going for. I also feel like it reminds me of aliens or ghosts, but yeah - just an awful design, and I'm surprised nobody flagged it before production.
OMG - saw you being discussed on the Megyn Kelley show - you made it big Mr. Kent!! When I saw her show with a clip from one of your TH-cam videos, I was like YAY!
I would buy it and what a waste of money indeed. Here's a concept remove the questionable label and let it be a free gift for BBW customers. I honestly didn't see anything wrong with the label imo
Thank you so much for reviewing this one. I got to sniff one before my store destroyed the case they got in and it smelled like a nice vanilla peppermint, too bad it doesn't throw well. I may buy one to try if they do re-release it and will definitely get wallflowers if they release them❤ Thanks again Kent!
I see it now so what my question is to them is why didn't they just change the photo to the snowflakes that look like they did on the vanilla snowflake candle that year that it was blue those were gorgeous
Looks like a snowflake to me but it is a bad design for a candle but not because someone got butt hurt and says it looks like the kkk..People nowadays make a mountain out of a mole hill! Smh 🤦🏻♀️
Horrible design period. Can't believe it passed so many eyes before going to print for it's interpretation. BBW, graphic design team and Quality control should take this as a lesson learned. We already know even though this candle was "destroyed" for it's packaging they going to relaunch this same scent in a different name.
I am honestly fed up with Bath & Body Works giving the name of old scents to new scents that have absolutely nothing to do with what the name suggests. The scent of the original snowed in candle actually gives one the sensation of being “snowed in.” They did the same with a candle that came out in the winter of 2014 called “Ski Lodge,”which has a woodsy, warm scent that literally makes your home smell like a lodge, a winter cabin. It only came out that year and never again, until in 2017, maybe, not sure, they came out with a candle with the same name but but the scent was gooey, and extremely sweet. In other words, totally irrelevant to the name of the candle!🤷🏻♀️
I think it’s ridiculous that they had to pull the candle. It’s just a paper snowflake. ❄️ they should just fill in the holes that looks like eyes. 🙄🤷🏻♀️.
I don’t think any ill intentions were present when BBW released this. But I think you’re trying to be problematic tbh you didn’t have to put it front and center like that.
You don't have to click on and watch the video if it is a problem for you. To do so just to complain is actively trying to be quite problematic, which no one needs.
Why review it at all knowing the controversy and history? Intentional or unintentional. Poor choice and shows your lack of sensitivity for American history?
@@CeiraMayberrysuch an insensitive response. Think of worst possible tragedy in your life and have someone say “it isn’t that deep”. Worst comment ever, but not surprising from someone never affected.
@@betsybabf748I played ball in high school and on 2 out of town trips coaches made some of hide on floor to not be seen by people in those identical hoods for fear of our LIVES🤨.
You were just featured on Megyn Kelley talking about this candle! I had a good chuckle and was ticked to see your two worlds collide.
So dumb to trash a candle that can still be sold only online. Just peel off the label and give a heavy discount.
I’d buy it. 🙋🏻♀️
I saw aliens but I wish they would have just removed the label and sold the candle at SAS
I saw aliens too.

Some are speculating it's AI generated
I thought it was from a cartoon movie 😂

Same here .. At first I was like what is that design . I said a snowflake how . Then I said WAIT one minute is this what I think it is . 😮
Hope it wasn't same person one like with the limes and banana candle label fiasco.

Kent, you were just on the Megyn Kelly show!!!!
Great Review!!! Thanks, Kent.
Don't understand why they just didn't relabel this candle...instead of trashing🤷♀️

I saw "This Candle" on Ebay for $325.00.
😂
no way
😂
I saw one going for $425
Kent, you rock.
Thanks Kent❤
Just saw you on Megyn Kelly 😅
I see 4 aliens
I see it now so what my question is to them is why didn't they just change the photo to the snowflakes that look like they did on the vanilla snowflake candle that year that it was blue those were gorgeous
Hi! Sounds like a great scent ! I hope they repackage and bting back I’m sure it wasn’t intended to be insensitive
what a shame that they couldn't just cover the label with something else rather than trashing all these candles.
Couldn’t agree with your take more
Looks like a snowflake to me but it is a bad design for a candle but not because someone got butt hurt and says it looks like the kkk..People nowadays make a mountain out of a mole hill! Smh 🤦🏻♀️
Horrible design. People on forum beginning with an "R" are saying it was designed by AI. 🤷♀ Hopefully they will repackage it.
Hi Kent!! Was this a peppermint marshmallow repackage
That's what I was hoping for!

Of course, they will, and they'll call it "Blizzard" ...
I have the candle 😂. I did not see anything wrong with this candle. Just my opinion
I can't unsee it now, it's SO obvious. I see it 100% and not aliens.
Yes, aliens. So weird.
It is just a paper snowflake.

They called it the kkk candle ... its just a label ppl really
Looks like a paper snowflake to me. But I understand why they pulled it.
Horrible design. Period.
😂😂😂 you could have atleast turned it backwards 😂
It’s on both sides as a luminary 😬
Just burn vanilla musk or marshmallow musk with a peppermint candle and you have a dupe.
SMH. The internet and world can really break. It’s no big deal to me.

Oh Look, a KLANdle😂😂🤦♀️
😂😂😂
😂😂
It looks like a snowflake to me! Ridiculous...some people will sue or purposely find anything to make free money...smh
Ridiculous unbelievable
Nope I dont agree with this design at all whoever thought about it was working on this design with the alliens in mind
It‘s Hard for a German to understand you 🙈

Doesn’t even look like klansmem

He's reviewing the candle. It is going to be re released with a different label. It isn't that deep. 🙄
@CeiraMayberry it isn't deep for you and you don't get to be dismissive
@@CeiraMayberry Some snowflakes are personally offended.
