Haul | Vintage Chic Scents (1)


If there is any one company to give The Bathing Garden a run for its money in terms of consistency and attractiveness of presentation , I would say that company is Vintage Chic Scents. Their products are so instantly recognisable across various wax groups in hauls and destash posts. What makes it more amazing is how this company has only been opened since January 2014! So far I have yet to see the owner Kirby Welsh make a misstep as a vendor.

I can't wait for her to offer international shipping so that all my fellow international waxies can try her products. Right now her website only accepts US-only billing addresses and credit cards but Kirby intends to offer international shipping once she figures out the logistics. Luckily, there are other ways of getting her stuff. Every so often, she offers flash sales and organises competitions in her group page. I got lucky in one of the flash sales and won this lot!

Ruby Slippers This scent combines ruby red grapefruit, blood orange, sparkling champagne and Vanilla Bean Noel.
Lovely citrus scent, the grapefruit and the blood orange are strong with a fizzy undertone (maybe from the champagne?). I smell a little hint of VBN that helps to round off the citrus.

Cafe Reggio This scent combines cafe mocha and marshmallow.
A mildly sweet mocha coffee scent. Not too bitter like how some other coffee/chocolate scents can be.

Rosie the Riveter A strong but sweet coffee blend of caramel latte and sugar cookie with a dash of cinnamon.
This smells like a Starbucks coffeehouse!

Winstead's Skyscraper Shake This scent blends Vanilla Smoothie, Strawberry and Chocolate Drizzle.
The strawberry is the strongest, hints of chocolate on a smooth vanilla base.

Happy Days This scent blends apple mango tango and clean cotton
Laundry! And a bit of apple mango tango.

Cape Cod This scent, including salty sea spray, sea weathered driftwood and a hint of water lily, is the perfect escape.
This is such a fresh, aquatic floral scent. I must have more!

An Affair To Remember This scent, combining watermelon and cotton candy frosting, promises to produce only the warmest of memories.
Love this! It's quite difficult to go wrong with watermelon and cotton candy!

Shirley Temple This scent combines Fizzy Pop and cherry.
The Fizzy Pop scent is really quite strong, it went up my nose in a wrong way. The cherry is strong too.



Surfer Girl This blend of key lime, coconut cream pie, graham cracker crust and pink sugar (type) will make your heart come all undone.
Wow, the Pink Sugar is overpowering most of the other notes. The only other thing I smell is graham cracker which is quite authentic.

Backwoods Barbie This Satsuma Strawberry Cotton Candy scent is a tribute to the Dolly Parton song.
Love love love this! Satsuma is definitely one of my top scents. I can't wait to try more.

Dinner at Julia's This is a decadent blend of German Chocolate Cake, caramel and marshmallow.
I don't like the chocolate scent in this as much as Smart Cookie. The marshmallow is also evident in the cold sniff.

Smart Cookie This scent, combining double chocolate cookie and butter mint, is an appreciation of all those little ladies who brave the cold to bring us Girl Scout goodies every year.
Smells exactly like the mint chocolate cookies! I am not even kidding! I would totally eat this up if it wasn't wax. And a very strong cold throw.

Ice Palace Cookies This peppermint sugar cookie scent will help you keep the cold at bay.
Mm, I like the sweet peppermint I am getting mostly.

Tally Me Banana Raspberry Guava Banana Daquiri
The Banana is really strong in here. It reminds me of Banana candy sweets but I would totally order this as a drink as well.

Over The Rainbow Ever dreamed of what lies over the rainbow? Melt this scent, blending rainbow sherbet and cotton candy, and you'll find out.
Another lovely, fruity fizzy scent that is right up my alley!

Pin Curls & Finger Waves This scent, mixing pink sugar and marshmallow, is a reminder that some fashion statements are timeless.
A pretty basic blend of pink sugar and marshmallow. I might try blending this with something else.
