My Neighbors Can Smell This Candle Two Floors Up (and Bought Their Own!)

"I live in Manhattan, and there are a few things I take for granted in my apartment that's tucked into a six-story tenement building near the East River. The first is that everyone knows your business - our units are shoulder to shoulder, so ambient noise is always a given. But after many years of living on the Upper East Side, I've just recently learned that my neighbors are also privy to the ambient aromas seeping through my walls."

"Because I live on the ground floor of my building (which means that everyone passes my front door to collect their mail or head upstairs), it seems that my serious candle habit has pushed fragrances into our lobby (which houses literal trash receptacles, mind you). It's all due to Bath and Body Works' line of citrus-forward three-wick candles. In this particular case, it started with a seasonal scent called Citrus Grove."

I live in a six-story tenement near the East River where apartments sit shoulder to shoulder, making ambient noise and scents travel easily. Living on the ground floor places the front door on a common path, allowing candle fragrances to drift into the lobby near trash receptacles. The scent source was Bath and Body Works' citrus-forward three-wick candles, beginning with a seasonal Citrus Grove. A neighbor two floors up noticed a lingering citrusy-floral aroma in the alcove and stairwell and asked to photograph the candle. Bath and Body Works candles are known for strong, powerful fragrances that often linger and register in-store reaction videos.
