So unique and I can wait to use it. The apple isnt overpowering. Its delightful
Smells like the state fair. I am making a state fair candle- so reminiscent of walking down the midway.
Sooo good :)
Summer Boardwalk smells just like B&BW. It is very strong in Parasoy waxmelts. Excellent and would also work for Fall too.
Can’t wait to burn it! Cold throw smells fantastic!
This scent is not exactly what I expected. I am not sure if it needs to sit or develop a bit more. It smells more like an apple orchard with caramel to me. I am not getting many of the other notes. I will have to come back to it to see if anything changes. It’s very potent though which I can appreciate.
Love this scent. It takes me back to going to the county fair as a child. Only I will enjoy the wax melts I made, until I buy more, because I had a mis-hap in the kitchen and got wax all over the place. Sigh.
This smells like I was at the fair
Im using this for my fall line. Its sooooo good!!!!
Oh. My. Gosh. Yes, this is it. I blended with other oils to make my own scent. Like hello? Is my house a bath and body works warehouse! This is AMAZING. Never leave me Summer Boardwalk lol. But yes, on the mature side- this is a signature and a staple
For my fall line.
This smells like so good! Can not wait to use it!!
First off: this scent smells amazing. My husband and I thought it was weird that it was named “Summer Boardwalk” though, as it most definitely doesn’t smell like summer. We market this as a fall scent. Customers love it.
Love the different levels in this scent.Caramel, pop corn, and the candy apple really shine.
This is a huge seller for me during summer, but honestly a better seller in fall! i rename it "Carnival Boardwalk" (it's the scent of my Beetlejuice themed "It's Showtime!" wax melt) and it sells out every show! keep the amazing scents coming!
I know this is an imitation scent and according to others they nailed it. I never smelled the original, it’s very popcorn forward to me. Not getting much apple other notes unless I really stop and smell. It does throw very well in coco soy wax.
I'm just not sure if I want to use this, blend it or keep looking since I had something with sweeter notes and more marine notes in mind. I don’t hate it but it’s not the scent I have in mind for this themed candle I’m working on. My boyfriend liked it a lot tho 😄
Awesome scent smells like walking around a fair with all the yummys around
Bestseller on my website. Love it !!
I renamed this carnival air because you can really smell all of the notes that are listed. This is one scent that if I have extra candles I keep for myself to burn :)
This is an absolutely delightful scent. It reminds me of our many trips to the beach and nights eating beach treats on the boardwalk.
I originally bought summer boardwalk as a carnival type of scent for the summer , but I fell so in love with all the different notes in it that I used it for fall and into the holiday season ! It has been a huge seller for me and it’s one of my personal favorites ! Please don’t sit this one out . Buy it now ! You will not regret it . I used it in melts and candles and it performed beautifully . Cold and hot throw are excellent and my customers love it too! Go get yours !!!
Initially, I thought this smelled horrible oob. But I recently put it in a wax melt and when cross-smelling with my coworkers, everyone agreed that it actually ended smelled really good for a fall scent.
Out the bottle I’m unsure of the smell. Will know for sure if I like it in a candle! But it’s not bad.
I personally am not a "dessert/foodie" candle lover, and my line is a more naturally-inspired brand, but when mixed with Coastal Waters, it mellowed out the super sweetness, and customers are LOVING it! I used it for a limited edition line of coastal summer scents. Response has been great from those who love sweet/dessert inspired candles.
Absolutely love it! I have been waiting very patiently for Midwest to add this scent to their collection now that they have it will definitely be an all year round addition to my collection!!!!
Not a good smell at all. It’s strong yeah, but it stinks like … not a good smell at all. I’ll give it a star for the strength. But I tried to use it for a candle or some wax melts … I didn’t like it. And I can’t sell it or give it away.
This smells just like B&BW and will be a great seller
smells for me like popcorn with salted caramel, very rich and good sweet/salty balance ❤️
This scent is my most favorite from B&BW and I’m so happy the MWF has the exact same scent so I can make my own❤️❤️❤️❤️ it’s just simply amazing ❤️❤️❤️ If I could give it 20 stars I would❤️❤️❤️❤️
My adult kids feel like this is more of a fall fragrance. However, no matter which season it is, Summer Boardwalk is sweet and salty, hitting all of the notes. I love being able to detect the salt in the sea salt caramel. I made wax melts - the hot throw is amazing.
I love caramel popcorn and this is a favourite with my children's friends in cp soap and a perfume roller.

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you!

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
