Haul | Pocket Full of Peonies (1)

I learned about new company Pocket Full of Peonies from Fragrance Obsessed, as I do for most things wax. It came at a time when I had wanted to branch out a little from the usual wax vendors so I put them on my list to try and kept a close watch on the company. When they announced they would be doing a Black Friday sale, I saw that as the perfect opportunity to make an order. I think it was a 20% discount.

I like this company so far. The owner, Jennifer Colony, has clearly tried her best to differentiate her products from others by having really unique shapes. Her scent blends include more unusual ones. At the moment, she has a website for RTS products and she opens up for custom orders fairly frequently. Her Facebook group is a good source of information for when customs are open and for flash sales.

Personally, I like my order. The TAT was fairly quick and everything was packaged really nicely. The cold sniff on her products are very strong. I look forward to melting them to find out if the hot throw will be just as good.


Laurel & Cranberry Unique combination of fresh fruit and berry notes along with the outdoor aroma of crisp pine and warm woodsy forest.
I really like this scent, it does have a Chrismassy feeling to this from the cranberry. So juicy and fruity!

Muscle Relaxer Spearmint, Eucalyptus and Wintergreen
Wow! This one is strong and the wintergreen scent is probably not for everyone. But I do like it especially for days when I need some help with my sinuses.

Peppermint Coconut Marshmallow
I really like this scent. It's blended really well, no one scent stands out too much but you can smell all of them too. This is really the surprise of this order for me.

Sweet on Paris The delights of an authentic Paris bakery with sweet notes of blackberry, lemon, and buttery vanilla.
A super sweet scent blackberry scent, I don't detect much lemon on cold sniff. I wouldn't think of a bakery when I sniff this scent though.

Tea & Cakes
This has been a pretty popular scent in the recent year and I can see why. It's pretty nice. I like that I can smell the lemon in the tea


These tart cups are actually 3.25oz in size. They surprised me with their size so I thought I would put it next to a regular 2oz for some visual comparison.


Macintosh Apple / Barbershop / Morrocan Mint
I was intrigued by the inclusion of the Barbershop scent note, and I have never seen this blend by anyone before. Plus it has apples! It's a really interesting blend, I like it!

Lemon Tart Lucky Charms
I bought this tart because I was interested to find out what another cereal scent smelled like. There is definitely some difference from Fruit Loops, although I can't really tell you why.

Rosewater Lemonade Zesty, fresh squeezed lemon, juicy strawberries and raspberry blossoms meet iced rose petals.
I think of rosewater and lemon when I sniff this blend. Very nice one!

Lavender Vanilla / Spearmint
Another sleepy time scent for the collection! Yums!


Jennifer gave me a whole bunch of mystery samples, packaged cutely in a separate bag. While these shapes are cute, I have no idea what they are and I am not a fan of that. Most of them smell sweet and bakery. I guess I will just throw them into the warmer from time to time.

Haul | Tiffany Candles (3)

Tiffany Candles is a go-to vendor for me. It seems to be open for customs frequently (if not, always) and when they plan an RTS restocks, Tiffany always asks for scent requests and blends to make, which is almost as good as making a custom order. I like their scents, they have both single notes and blends. I managed to catch an RTS restock in December and I made a small-ish order.


Pink Peppermint
I was quite excited when I saw this blend come up in a bag. This is a sleepy time blend and I always want more of this to keep in my stash. And I can never remember how much I have of it, so I am always hauling more. Wax addict problems, anyone?

Lavender Mac Apple
I knew I wanted this blend because this is a combination I have wanted to make myself but it's better when a vendor does it, don't you think? At the moment, the Mac Apple is the strongest with a hint of sweet lavender in the background. I hope the lavender gets going more when melting. But I don't think these would be a sleepy time type scent. These are the small 4oz scoopables. They are very cute and it's a good size to get blends you like but might not love so much to get huge quantities. I really like scoopables because I can control how much I use since I have different size warmers.

Rosemary Mint
Re-purchase. A favourite TC scent for sure. I am definitely interested to try Rosemary Mint scent blends in future.


Key Lime Pie Sweet, refreshing citrus aroma with a warm crust
I have actually never bought the Key Lime Pie scent before, and I actually do like this scent from a destash/haul that I bought quite early in my wax adventures. So I am super excited that I finally bought some of it.

Olive Leaves Fruity, fresh blend with pineapple, peach and leafy greens
I thought this might be a dupe of Lush's Olive Branch but it's not. But that's ok, I like this scent. The pineapple provides a very rounded, jelly-ish, fruity scent. I do smell the sweet peach note and a bit of the green and fresh scent.

Satsuma & Strawberry 
I think this smells exactly like The Body Shop's satsuma and strawberry scents. The latter scent is stronger for sure.


Cotton Candy / Waffle Cone / Sweet Cream
The Sweet Cream is the stronger of the three scents, tempering the bakery note of the waffle cone and the sweetness of the cotton candy. Not my scent alleys but it's quite nice

Pink Panties Pink Sugar and Love Spell blend
I feel like this scent has developed more since the first time I sniffed it. And I am really liking it more even though I am not a fan of the individual Pink Sugar or Love Spell scent.

Stress Relief A beautifully balanced, calming blend of lavender, coriander and sage, touched with a hint of star anise.

Haul | Sniff My Tarts (2)


Apple Pie (4 x Crueller Doughnut)

This scent is amazing! Apple-y and cinnamon-y all at the same time!

Lavender Vanilla Coconut Milk (3 x Cookie Sandwich)

Least favourite scent of the bunch. The coconut milk scent is really sour and I can't get past it.

Peggy’s Blueberry Noel (4 x Grubby Cakes)
Thanks to an earlier RAOK from Julie, I already know and like this scent. Sweet, tart and fruity.

Cotton Candy Bliss / Strawberry Jam / Pina Colada
This is a sweet scent, the Pina Colada is nicely rounded out and made more interesting with the addition of the strawberry.




Lemon Sampler (6 pack scent shots)

Lemon Cake
Yum, more lemon than cake.

Lemon Colada
Funny enough, this doesn't remind me of pina colada but of a laundry lemon scent.

Lemon Cookies
Something's up with this, it smells a little stale

Lemon Ice Cream
I am half and half on this scent, I am deciding how much I like the vanilla ice cream note.

Lemon Sugar Pound Cake
Amidst the Lemon Sugar scent, there is a sour-milk note which is making me wrinkle my nose.

Lemon Sugar Type
This smells good, a sweet lemon scent, I suspect this is the base scent of the sampler.



Cream Cheese Frosting / Fruity Loops (8oz Chunks)
I just wanted more Fruit Loops in bigger quantities and this is pretty good.

Cream Cheese Frosting / Mandarin Orange (8oz Chunks)
The Cream Cheese Frosting scent is more prominent in this blend, sweet and tart, but made energising from the Mandarin Orange. Sweet and fruity.

Honeydew Melon / Red Mac Apple type / Lemon Curd (8oz Chunk Pie)

The Red Mac Apple scent is the strongest of the three, the Honeydew Melon adds to the sweetness while the Lemon Curd adds a twist of acid.

Peppermint / Spearmint / Pink Sugar (8oz Chunk Pie)

A tried and true crowd pleaser scent! The peppermint and spearmint are both strong but don't overpower the pink sugar.

Haul | Candles From The Keeping Room (1)

I am really happy to finally be able to place a Candles From The Keeping Room order. It took me several tries before this successful order! In fact, I feel that Rosegirls might be easier to get than CFTKR! I can see why they are so popular, the scent on cold sniff is fantastic, strong and true to the description!


Amazing Grace Type Italian bergamot and sparkling lemons are sweetened with freshly picked citron and neroli. A white floral jasmine, orange blossom and rose are blended with sheer musk and cedarwood.
This one is light on cold sniff. I don't smell the Amazing Grace scent for now.

Apple Grove A perfect combination of Cameo, Macintosh, Red Delicious, Fuji and Granny Smith apples.
Delicious delicious delicious!

Baby Grace Type A fresh accord combining feminine notes of mimosa flowers, poppy, pepper, white woods, fresh greenery and musk.
This smells exactly like the perfume. So beautiful!

Cherry Blossoms Fresh orange top notes sweeten this lush white floral bouquet. Forest ferns adds a natural sensation as light green tones balance the bouquet. Warm woods and a hint of musk warm the floral accord.
This is fairly light on cold throw. Hopefully it's better on warm.



Jade A blend of sweet jasmine, white lilies and violets; middle notes of lavender, rose combined with a delicate touch of sun ripened pineapple; bottom notes of fresh apple and fresh green melon.
Clean, green flora bouquet. It's sweet and fresh!

Lavender Mint
I love how herbal and just purely lavender this is. Fantastic!

Nectarine & Honey A sumptuous blend of nectarine, honey and delicate white florals. Fragrant rose and fresh air musks add to the calming serenity.
This is such a beautiful scent, the honey scent is very much stronger than the nectarine, but the fizziness of the nectarine sneaks in and makes itself known.

Sea Salt & Yuzu Notes of Satsuma orange, ruby red grapefruit, Japanese yuzu, Mediterranean sea salt, sun-kissed apricot, ripe nectarine, blue water lotus and aloe leaf.
I put this in my cart as I was going through the categories quickly while the site was open. I am so glad I bought it, it's a very elegant citrus, highlighted by that hint of salt. I can't wait to melt this.



Even though I watched all the youtube videos and read all the blog posts of CFTKR hauls, I was still a little taken aback at how many samples Carol provided. What she gave is comparable to some of the hauls I have made with other companies! I am also excited with what she picked out for me, these are scents that I definitely want to try!

Biolage Matrix Top notes of forest fresh green leaves and lemon zests, and well rounded with fruity notes of peaches, apples, and pineapples.
As a shampoo scent, I thought this would be very soapy but it's sweeter and fresher in real life. I love this!

Blissful Blackberry Type
I think this might be a BBW dupe. I am surprised that it's not more fruity and have a better blackberry scent note. Hopefully it will be better upon melting.

Champagne Pear Type Sparkling champagne with the fresh scent of a ripe juicy pear.
A very spritzy scent. I don't particularly distinguish both scents but like it's light, bubbly and energetic.

Clementine Lavender
This scent is right up my alley! The clementine is stronger than the lavender, juicy and citrusy but the lavender lingers after.

Green Figs Crisp Meyer lemons add a tangy twist to rich fig notes, while precious pomegranate seeds permeate the heart of this exotic citrus scent.
A pleasant, green type scent.

Green Tea Blend
This is a beautiful, fresh scent and I love it! I am also getting clean, citrus notes in there.

Lavender Cream Peppermint
Oh so good, sweet, relaxing and minty! I would totally buy a huge bag of this scent!

Mandarin Lime Fresh mandarin oranges to energise your spirit, and fresh lime to improve your mood.
I am kind of wondering if this might have been labelled wrongly, I don't really smell any Mandarin or any Lime in this scent.

Rain Forest Sugarcane An intriguing mixture that includes fresh lime, raw sugarcane and rare vanilla orchid, and a fabulous blend of Hawaiian hibiscus, pineapple, blood orange, palm grass, lemon mint and Kona sugarloaf.
Such a complicated blend on paper but it all comes together in a soft, sweet, fresh and green type scent. It's really good and if it melts as good as it smells now, I think I will get more of this!

Violets and Birch Green accord, fern, white birch, violet, clove bud, orchid, cedar leaf, musk and amber.
Violets are really overpowering scents to me but I think the Birch tones it down a little with its woodsy notes.

Haul | Tiffany Candles (2)

I wasn't planning on a Tiffany Candles order but when I put in a request for a Sinus Relief scoopable and it got made and put on the list for a restock, I knew I had to order. I am very happy with the entire order, everything smells good and strong on cold sniff. TC is really becoming one of my go-to vendors for a wax fix!


Green Apple Macintosh
Wow, this is good. It's true to the scent of a Green Apple, just a little bit tart. It's also just that little more bit more fresh than juicy.

Sinus Relief Clear your head with this eucalyptus, spearmint and peppermint blend.
A family favourite, it works wonders with snuffed noses and congested chests. This is also my first scoopable and I am looking forward to trying out this new type of wax!

Stress Relief A beautifully balanced, calming blend of lavender, coriander, sage, touched with a hint of star anise.
Like its description, this is a beautiful calming blend. At the same time, it is also fresh and clean.

Honey Bunny Sparkling notes of bergamot, sweet orange and crisp apple; followed by rich, golden honey nectar, toffee bits, and soft white musk mingling together to create a sweet treat as natural as sunshine.
I suspect this is a dupe of Lush's Honey I Wash The Kids soap. So if you are looking for dupes, get this one!


Cactus & Sea Salt Shimmering green cactus mingled with clean ocean air, sea spray, driftwood and sea moss. A sea side blend of fresh ozone notes on a base of sweet musk.
An enduring favourite in my house. I should probably look into getting more.

Chamomile The soothing smile of the well known aromatic herb.
I am not sure what chamomile smells like on its own but this is pretty good!

Coriander & White Lime Blend of white lime, Italian bergamot, Valencia orange, fuzzy peach, mediterranean coriander, Thai basil, purple lavender, yellow jasmine and violet petals.
I am getting more herbal coriander and lavender than I am getting the citrus of lime, bergamot and orange. I hope it will be more distinct on melting because I think this could be a really good scent!

Eucalyptus Spearmint Invigorating herbal blend of eucalyptus and spearmint with fresh citrus lemon, lavender flowers, and a hint of sage.
Yum, I love this! I would love to get more. It's in the relaxing category of scents as Stress Relief.

Juniper Breeze A BBW duple, an ozony blend of floral, green and fruity notes with a slight musk undertone.
I have never tried this BBW scent but it's great! The ozone never overpowers the floral and the fruity but makes the blend more interesting.

Lemongrass Fresh cut lemongrass with a hint of green herbal notes
It's not fresh cut lemongrass but more like a fresh Lemongrass soap?

Mango Beachwood A BBW dupe, a blend of mango, tangerine and mandarin with mid notes of rose, jasmine and dewy cyclamen on a base of beechwood, amber and musk.
I think "Tropical" when I sniff this blend. I was excited to smell the wood notes but I can't really find any.

Sea Petals A light floral blend of roses and violets with a touch of light green notes, blended with some fruity notes of peach, citrus, and strawberry.
The florals are soft and aquatic in this blend, with the roses a touch stronger and softening the edges of the  violets. Very nice.

Snuggle Baby Baby Magic (Type)
I quite like this scent, it's not as powdery as I thought it might be. Just a tad herbal even. I would blend this with additional lavender or eucalyptus so amp it up.

White Nectarine & Pink Coral The luscious fruitiness of sweet peach, pineapple chunks and orange slices blended with enchanting floral notes of honeysuckle, rose and jasmine on a drydown of soft soothing musk.
This is a pretty scent. The fruity and musk notes included are more apparent than the floral notes.


Tiffany is ever so generous with her samples again and I feel like she picked them out with some care based on my order.

Lavender
On the herbal side and definitely something I would buy on its own.

Lemon
Clean and fresh lemon. I am thinking of blending this with the lavender to duplicate that famous scent of Yankee's.

Vanilla Pound Cake
This is delish! If I close my eyes and sniffed this, I might think I have a piece of cake right in front of me!

Haul | One Little Indian Scents (1)

One Little Indian Scents is a new vendor on the block that I have been watching them for this last little while. I missed most of the openings so far but I managed to catch the flash sales that took place at the end of May. I only won one lot but Alisha, the owner, was really sweet and tried to find more items for me from other lots that fell through to make the shipping more worthwhile. She only managed to find one other bag of brittle but she added an extra clamshell to make up for that and a delay in shipping out my package.


Tropical Sangria Huge chunks of pineapple and orange soaked in a classic wine sangria. Fruity and fun!
Oh this is so good. I am so glad that I have a bag of brittle in this! It does smell almost exactly like sangria, just a little less tart and more fruity. This is a great scent for summer, hopefully with a real Sangria in hand!

Glazed Pear Cider Brown sugared pears soaked in a traditional spicy apple cider.
This chunk is huge and such an interesting shape. It's duo-toned, brown and green. A warm, comforting pear scent. I don't find it particularly spicy from the cider. I like this one!

Juicy Fruit
Wow, this smells exactly like bubblegum. I just googled and found out there is a Juicy Fruit bubblegum so I am assuming this is meant to be a dupe of that scent.

Sunday, July 26, 2015

Haul | Super Tarts (2)

I finally made my second Super Tarts order, I have been tempted many times during their regular clamshell restocks but I was always a few scents short of an order worth the shipping. When Brandy announced that she would be putting together a Lavender Sample, I knew I wouldn't be passing this one up. Several scents in this sampler have been getting lots of rave reviews and I am so happy to finally get to try it.



Data Lavender Cream, Pear Slices and Sugar Cookies
This is a surprising scent, I didn't think that a lavender scent can be classified as creamy and bakery, but there you are. There is hint of citrus contributed by the pear beneath the cream.

Donatello Lavender Cream and Honeydew Melon
Another surprising blend that somehow works. I find the Honeydew Melon note stronger than the Lavender, it's very juicy too!

Galactus Lavender, Raspberry Sorbet and Lovespell
This is a really sweet and unique blend. I can't quite describe it, not sure if I like this either.

Go To Sleep Lavender Cream and Pink Sugar
Great sleepytime scent! I am not surprised that this is such a popular scent.

Lavender Orange Dream Sweet Lavender mixed with our Orange Sherbet
Love this one! The Orange Sherbet is so sprightly and energetic. While stronger than the Lavender, I can still detect it.

Magneto Lavender, Strawberry Jam, Vanilla Buttercream
Unfortunately this has that stuffy-plasticky scent to it, I am guessing it's coming from the Strawberry scent. Which is surprising because ST's Strawberry scent is very popular.

Ravenclaw Blue Raspberry and Lavender
I can see why this is such a popular scent. The sweet Lavender smooths out the sharp acidity of the Blue Raspberry and they blend well together.

Sentinal Herbal Lavender, Blackberry Preserves, Marshmallow
Yummy, the Blackberry Preserves is the star here. I don't get much of the Herbal Lavender for now. I just can't get over how good the Blackberry scent is!

Spock Lavender Blueberry Cheesecake
One of my favourites of this sampler, like Sentinal, the Blueberry Cheesecake scent is the strongest and so good. Probably the best Blueberry scent I have ever sniffed. But unlike Sentinal, the Lavender emerges underneath and blends really well with the Blueberry Cheesecake.

Thanos Herbal Lavender Buds and Whipped Cream
Another favourite for its simplicity and deliciousness. This is the type of Lavender scent I would melt nightly to relax and fall asleep to.

Haul | Two Timing Tart (3)

Welcome to my Two Timing Tart samplers haul, this lot was bought and received a long time ago but I am just really slow at posting. At the moment, Two Timing Tart is closed while Becky the owner deals with some personal issues but it seems like an opening is on the horizon so keep a look out on their Facebook group! I feel like TTT gets the short end of the stick in the wax community, there is rarely any chatter about this company and if there is, rarely is it positive due to a rocky beginning. Personally I have always had a great experience with TTT's wax and their scent blends are some of the most interesting around and right up my alley!


Becky offered up several samplers for sale and since I was in the market for some TTT, I decided to take the plunge on three samplers - Fruit Loops, Lemon Curd and Vanilla Honey. I love both the basic Fruit Loops and Lemon Curd scents and I was interested to see what sort of combinations Becky could come up with. Because there are so many scents in these samples, I am going to be doing quick, first impression reviews of each scent!


Fruit Loops sampler

Sugar Cookie Fruit Loops
The Sweet Cookie scent is quite a lot stronger than Fruit Loops. It's a little sweeter than my preference.

Zucchini Bread Fruit Loops
Surprisingly this Zucchini Bread and Fruit Loops blend is quite equal, I can smell both. The Zucchini Bread is spicy and the Fruit Loops is a foil to that.

Clementine Cupcake Fruit Loops
Wow, I am really getting the buttery cake scent in here. It's actually quite nice with the Clementine tying everything together.

Pie Crust Fruit Loops
One of the blends with the strongest Fruit Loops scent,

Blueberry Fruit Loops
This is so so good! Like I can't stop sniffing. The blueberry scent is amazing, sweet, juicy and authentic!

Mandarin Plum Fruit Loops
This is a really good blend, I never would have thought of it. It's heavy kind of sweet and citrus. I can't differentiate between the Mandarin Plum and Fruit Loops.

Sweet Orange Fruit Loops
Really like this, sweet and simple.

Bite Me Fruit Loops
Another blend that I like. I am also weirdly detecting a ginger note in this. I like ginger so that's cool with me.

Key Lime Fruit Loops
Great blend, I think that the Lime melds really nicely with Fruit Loops

Raspberry Macaroon Fruit Loops
Yum, I love the Raspberry scent, it's super juicy and sweet!

Wildberry Scone Fruit Loops
Mm, very juicy wildberry scent coming through. This is a nice blend!

Lychee Coconut Fruit Loops
Another blend that I don't think anyone would have thought of. The sweet coconut blended really well with Fruit Loops. Even I can barely detect a straight FL even though I know it's there. That's how well blended it was.


Lemon Curd mini-sampler

Lemon Curd Cedar
This was one of the scents I was most interested to smell because of the interesting combination of citrus and woodsy. The Lemon Curd is very yummy but I barely get a hint of the Cedar. Hopefully it comes out more on melting.

Lemon Curd Black Cherry
Black Cherry > Lemon Curd.

Lemon Curd Fresh Herbs
My least favourite of this sampler, the Fresh Herbs completely overtook the Lemon Curd.

Lemon Curd Purple Sage Mint Leaf
This scent is the surprise of the sampler! So fresh, so acidic and not at all herb-y.

Lemon Curd Peppermint
I like this scent very much, again the Lemon Curd is the stronger scent of the two, with the peppermint being more of a soft whiff underneath. It reminds me slightly of a lemon cough drop as well.

Lemon Curd Lavender Martini
I have had TTT's Lavender Martini before but with the Lemon Curd, this scent is really amped up. It's a winner!


Vanilla Honey mini-sampler

Vanilla Honey Birch
This smells like really upscale potpurri, in a good way!

Vanilla Honey Myrrh
Another upscale potpurri scent. I think I prefer the Birch version but this is pretty good too.

Vanilla Honey Orange Blossom
I love Orange Blossoms so this scent is up my alley. The base Vanilla Honey scent sweetens it up.

Vanilla Honey Cinnamon
The cinnamon makes this scent sour. I am a little perplexed but I don't dislike it. It's interesting.

Vanilla Honey Gold Musk
This is made very perfume-y by the Gold Musk. I am not sure if I would wear such a scent though.

Vanilla Honey Sunflower
This is my second Sunflower scent, it's strong in this blend. It's also smells strangely soapy.

Haul | Enchanted Candle Company (5)

I am finally posting up my mega Enchanted Candle Company haul from it's March re-opening. This is going to be bittersweet because this might be my last Enchanted haul ever, as Debra is halting her business to concentrate on her health. She mentioned that she might do some RTS now and then, so never say never right? I am just glad I made such a big order on this one because I really love her stuff. It's going to take a couple of years for me to use them all up but it will be a sad day when I drop that last piece of wax into my warmers. This order had a TAT of about a month.


For this order, I mixed it up with custom blends, new-to-me house blends and re-purchases of my favourites. As part of the special deal she was running during the order, I qualified for three 4-packs where I could choose the scents. It was such a great deal overall!



This is the first haul that I received with my own custom blends and I was really excited to sniff what I had created, would they smell great or would they smell like poop?

Cup of Earl + Honey Tree + Walt's Lemon Meringue Pie
These are three of my favourite scents and I thought they would meld together into for a tea-time scent. It's sweet and surprisingly pepperminty, with undertones of lemon if I sniff harder. I hope the tea scent will come out stronger upon melting.

Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice + Peppermint + Duchess
For this blend, I was trying to inject an added dose of minty freshness into the energy of the orange juice, sweetening the overall blend with Duchess. I think I succeeded! 

Honey Tree + Jack Frost

My take on a sweet, sleepy time scent, I really like this one!

Mac Apple + Cup of Earl + Powdered Sugar

I have been looking for an Apple Tea scent for awhile but since there isn't any blends out there, I thought I would just make my own, and it is yummy! I am loving this!


Bow Chicka Wow Wow Sultan, Rose Jam and Due at 6.02 (Created by Roselie Freeman)
What an interesting blend, I can't believe how well the leather scent from Due at 6.02 blends with Sultan and Rose Jam. I can definitely detect Sultan in there (because I love it so much).

Crisp Nectarine Vanilla, mint and nectarine
This is one of my favourite new scents from Enchanted! The nectarine scent is so sweet, so juicy and so energising! How do I get more of this?!

Fruit & Fluff Oranges, apples, pears and melons coasted in rich whipped cream
Another awesome fruity scent, with the oranges and apples being stronger than the rest, the whipped cream is in the mix, sweetening it out but not as strong as I thought it might be.

Liberty Tree An old towering oak tree with the added crispness of a Macintosh Apple
So much apple goodness in this scent! I don't really get the oak tree yet because the apple is so overwhelming.



Long Winter's Nap Vanilla, lavender, peppermint and pink sugar
Re-purchase!

Rose Jam Lush dupe of a very sweet rose and a hint of fresh strawberry
Now I know why this is such a popular scent,I am not sure if I would like it in a bath & body product, might be too overwhelming for me. But it's a great home scent, sweet and just a little bit fruity with that faint note of strawberry.

The Mash Apple, pumpkin and cranberry

This is the only kind of Fall scents that I like, the blend of these three scents are so good!

Tiana Waterlily with a touch of sweet, fresh mint

I have been eyeing this scent for awhile because it sounds so lovely, and it really is! Fresh, flora and aquatic, fit for a Disney princess!



Cashmere & Silk Fresh vanilla with sandalwood, patchouli, and musk accented by rose, violet and apricot (free sample)
A beautiful fresh and floral scent, and although it has no aquatic and watery accords I am somehow detecting them.

Lilacs & Lemonade (free sample)
Another winner! I really like how an acidic lemonade scent is tempered by the beautiful lilac floral note, and the lilac note is made more interesting by the lemonade! Someone find me another vendor who does this blend!

Thunderstorm Till Death To Us Part, Winds in the East, Riverboat (free sample)
A blend by Rosalie Freeman, this is a gorgeous, fresh scent that is sweeter and muskier than a real thunderstorm. I love it!



All of these 8oz bags are re-purchases because I love them!

Cup of Earl Sweet herbal cup of Earl Grey tea that is both fresh and clean

Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane English scones and a freshly brewed pot of tea

Springtime Breaktime Sweet sugared cookies, honey and a refreshing glass of lemonade

The Sultan's Moroccan Massage Oil Rosemary, peppermint and lavender

This was really a fabulous order, there is nothing in there I don't like! I can only hope Debra will be able to recover and possibly go back into business again someday because I really really want everyone to be able to try her wax and love them as much as I do. Not to mention, I never want to be out of Enchanted.

Haul | Two Timing Tart (4)


Finally, a haul post rather than my usual wax notes! I have a few in the works from some of my recent hauls and I am going to be posting them up slowly but surely! This is the first of my two Two Timing Tart hauls, in fact this is the second of the lot but it was smaller and a lot easier to do my initial impressions. So you will get the Two Timing Tart (3) post a little later. I haven't ordered from Two Timing Tart since early 2014 and I thought it was high time I replenished my stash with them, especially since her new formulation throws great for me.

To order from Two Timing Tart, you have to be part of Becky's Facebook group, during a restock she will post what's available and reload the website on the promised day. You go on the website and select what you want, check out, easy peasy! TTT isn't as popular as some of the other vendors so you rarely have to worry about items going out of stock unless Becky is making only a few items in popular scent. Also if you can be patient enough, you could also wait till she marks down items left from the restock, I find that's a really good deal but the downside is you might not get what you want, which is risk I haven't dared to take!

For this restock, she was taking requests and made virtually everything that was requested. I put in a request for Silk Sheets and I managed to nab a bag of it! Yay! All in all, this was a great order!


Date Night Sensual sandalwood dripping with deep, sweet honey
As advertised, sandalwood and honey comes in equal measure in this scent.

Plum Wine Sandalwood A deep, resinous sandalwood mixed with the decadent freshness of plum wine
I really like this one, a fruity scent that is all grown up and mysterious. I like how the plum is sweetened and rounded up by the wine-grape scent.

M' Lady's Boudoir White musk, soft ebony, a hint of vanilla orchid, sandalwood, and a breath of citrus
An elegant scent that would not be out of place in a perfume bottle, I mostly smell the white musk, ebony and sandalwood.


Jasmine Vanilla Green Tea Peach Flora, tea, and lightly fruitly
This bag is bittersweet, Becky mentioned that this will be the last bags of this scent because she doesn't intend to re-order this fragrance oil. I rather like this one on cold, I smell a mix of jasmine, vanilla and peach.

Silk Sheets Musk, vanilla, cherry blossoms
I requested for this one because I so rarely come across a Cherry Blossom scents that I need to get them while I can. I really enjoyed the clamshell I got in my first order that I know I needed more!

Walk of Shame Bite Me (berries, cherries & lim), lotus blossoms, sea salt
The dominant scent in this blend is Bite Me and as I sniff harder, I begin to discern the floral note of the lotus blossoms. I don't smell the sea salt.


Forever Red BBW Type
I am not sure what's in here but it's floral, sweet and has a dark, mysterious feel to this.

Tobacco Cedar
I was a little afraid when I first opened this up to sniff but thankfully the tobacco is the less dominant note. I imagine this is what a log cabin would smell like.

Haul | K's Kreations (1)


K's Kreations must have elves working all round the clock for them. I ordered on 1 December and my order shipped the very next day! What sorcery is this! The package smells amazing as well, apple scents are seeping through the package like crazy!

Afternoon Tea A wonderfully refreshing tea fragrance, sweet and with a touch of lemon. You will be reaching for your own glass after smelling this one.
Yummy, I do love tea scents and this is one I definitely want to keep this one around!

Annette's Secret Sangria A mixture of fresh fruits and wine will fill your room with yummy goodness!
I can smell the wine/grape base note of this scent. It makes me think of grape sweets.

Barlett Pear A very nice, juicy pear fragrance.
I have been on the look out for a good pear fragrance and this one is good but it smells very like apples? Weird.

Dippity Daze You will be dazed and amazed by this wonderful blend of berries, apples and Serendipity.
I think this is a good blend of the three scents, a very fruity and happy scent!

Frozen Margarita The fresh citrus fragrance of lime and tequila that will have you imagining a tall cool drink on the beach.
Wow, I want a drink of this! So refreshing!

Green Tea & Lemongrass This bright and natural smelling citrus begins with a top note of orange Valencia, bergamot tea and plum wine. The heart combines jasmine, violet, lavender and orange flowers. The dry down is a clean citrus musk.
Fresh and spa-like. I feel calm just sniffing this.

Lavender Fields This soothing blend begins with a top note of lavender and fresh ozone with a soft touch of woody undertones. Not harsh or overpowering at all; a very relaxing fragrance.
This lavender scent is so unlike the rest that I have. It reminds me of baby soap. The lavender isn't immediately apparent but you know it's in there!

Peach Peppermint Schnapps Exclusive house blend. A mix of peaches and peppermint which is divine.
I was very curious about this blend because I have heard of the drink but have yet to try it. I would say it's a sweet peppermint scent, not particularly peachy on cold sniff.


Spring Rain A musky accord enhanced with a fresh floral bouquet of carnations, tiger lilies, alyssums, orchids, and roses, with hints of fresh greenery.
This is such a pretty floral scent! Roses is the most familiar scent among the florals, there's a soapy scent too.

Southern Tea Icy tea with extra lemon and a sprig of mint leaf is one drink I never grow tired of. Yum!
Another great tea scent, the mint leaf really makes the difference!

Yellow Rose Blend of tart & tangy lemon and rose jam.
The lemon scent is really great here but I can't sniff out any of the rose jam scent. :(

Magical Christmas The wonder of Christmas - mandarin, green clover, fir needle, sparkling spruce, cardamom and cedar bark with bottom notes of guaiacwood, precious woods and allspice. (Free sample)
I don't like or dislike this scent. But it's not something I would choose on a daily basis.

Baked Wildberry Bread Wildberry mousse, zucchini bread and more make up this yummy scent! (Free sample)
I am not a fan of  zucchini bread scents but objectively this is a good blend, I can sniff both wildberry mousse and zucchini bread equally.

Miss Frosty Mint mixes with powdery pink sugar and melts together with creamy sweetened milk to bring out the tones of a winter forest. (Free sample)
I think this scent might be mislabelled because it does not smell like mint, pink sugar or sweetened milk. I think of citrus and woods when I sniff this.

Yabber Dabber Doo Cake A delectable slice of banana cake slathered with yummy gooey caramel makes this scent a mouth watering one. (Free sample)
Very true to the scent description! It smells really good but it's not really up my scent melting alley.


Apple Orchard Imagine biting into a juicy red apple!
K's Kreations is known for having her rainbow line of products where a percentage of the sales in this line is donated back to a good cause in remembrance of her son. I definitely wanted to contribute a tiny little bit and it helps that the rainbow brittle is gorgeous, and even more so in real life. I chose to have glitter on it as well. K's Apple Orchard scent is sooo good! When she stated that she's picky with her apple scents, I knew that this would a be good one and I wasn't disappointed.

Bare Naked Lady A fresh, clean scent with lemon, lime, oranges and a hint of ozone.
Part of the Katch 'Ems line where they are limited stocks of these scents. Among the three citruses, the limes is the strongest. I really like the ozone scent underlying the citruses.

Picnic in the Park A nice relaxing blend with fresh ozone notes along with apple and lemon tones as well.
Part of the Katch 'Ems line where they are limited stocks of these scents. It's a very pleasant scent but it's not as fruity as I thought it would be. There is a faint bakery note underlining it.

Haul | Tiffany Candles (1)


I have heard lots of good things about Tiffany Candles ever since I came back into the wax world last year. For awhile, I wasn't sure how the company worked, was it custom or RTS with restocks from her facebook group. But I finally figured out that the shop was always open and only certain items like loaves or chunklets were RTS. When Tiffany put out a 10% discount for her Black Friday, I knew I had to order. Despite the holiday rush, my custom order shipped out by the 4th working day, now that's fast!

I made a small-ish order. I am a bit embarrassed by how much I have spent on wax this year so I am trying to cut back while still trying out new vendors. I doubt I will be ordering very much next year as I work through my stash!

Apple Strudel A hearty apple top note w/ sugar, cinnamon & baked crust notes.
The baked, sour apple scent is captured so well in this scent. I love it, one of my favourites!

Barbie Girl Tart Kiwi, middle notes of lilac and tigerlily, with fresh base notes of pineapples and pears.
I think this is one Tiffany's more popular custom blend and it's really good! The base note of pineapples really lends a tropical air to this scent!

Berry Me Alive Top notes of mandarin orange, bergamot and tangerine; middle notes of peach, strawberries and raspberries with hints of apple and grapes sprinkled with shaved coconuts.
My first thought: Fizzy! Once I sniffed a little harder, I really like the citrus top notes, the strawberries and raspberries sweeten things up!

Blonde Moment An iced champagne mixed with rich, sweet raspberry and cranberry.
Blonde Moment was a hugely popular scent in the wax community about a year ago but I have never sniffed it till this order. I like the wholesome sweetness of it but it has a little minty edge to it. Definitely a summer scent!

Creamy Fruit Slices Creamy vanilla blended with fresh fruit slices.
This is yummy! It reminds me of a citrus powder drink though.

Lemon Cheesecake A creamy cheesecake combined with just the right amount of lemon.
Favourite! I love the sweetened lemon in here!

Rain Fresh Citrus fresh and clean rain scent.
Wow, I love the fresh, ozone scent here. I would love to have this as a shower gel!


I bought the following in 3-packs.

Fruity Loops Smells just like the fruit flavored rings cereal. (yellow)
One of my favourite scents of all time! I finally have more!

Rosemary Mint Fresh rosemary softened with cool, earthy notes & crisp garden mint. (green)
Another popular scent of Tiffany's! I knew it had to be good so I went with a 3-pack. So good, the garden mint hits you in the face hard but it's sweetened and gentled by the rosemary. I find it a rather invigorating scent!

Sinus Relief Clear your head with this eucalyptus, spearmint & peppermint blend. (turquiose)
Ooh, this is good! My sinuses are clearing just sniffing this!


Tiffany is so generous with her samples, even for a small order like mine.

Christmas Cookies Candy Cane blended with Sugar Cookies
The Candy Cane mostly overpowers the Sugar Cookies. It's quite good!

Lemon + Birthday Bash
I think I am very selective with my bakery scents, if they have Lemon in it, I am good! This reminds me of Fruit Loops.

Winter Dreams Festive aroma of cinnamon, clove and mulberry with hints of pine.
Mmm, the Mulberry is a great scent. It reminds me of the Apple Strudel scent.

Haul | Enchanted Candle Company (4)


Happy new year to everyone, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and lovely New Year's! I am still making my way through my haul posts but I am definitely making some progress here! :)

This is my fourth order with Enchanted, the most I have ever ordered from any company! Shows how much I love them! The theme scent of this order is PEPPERMINT. I really like Enchanted's peppermint scent and there were so many great combinations that I just had to order them all to try. If you haven't ordered from Enchanted, I highly encourage everyone to get an order in whenever she opens. Her scents are delicious, scent throw is strong and it's always a breeze to order from her website. Truly a hidden gem in the wax world!

Long Winter's Nap Vanilla, lavender, peppermint, pink sugar
This blend is a lot like TBG's Sleepy but I like this a lot better with that little addition of the lavender.

The Sultan's Moroccan Massage Oil Get pampered with the sultan with this tingling oil made from rosemary, peppermint, and a touch of lavender.
Re-purchase. Because it's just that good!


Just A Head Cold Eucalyptus, spearmint and lemon
This one is STRONG! Stronger than Tiffany Candles' Sinus Relief. As I inhale, I can feel the eucalyptus going down my chest. Definitely one for when you have a cold.

Walt's Lemon Meringue Pie Lemon with the added creaminess of a towering meringue topping and a hint of pie crusts.
Re-purchase. Because it's so good!

I like that Deborah replaced the ribbons she used for these bags with twist ties. It's much easier to open and close a bag, and more secure as well.


Christmas Cabernet The perfect holiday wine with the scent of berries and oak.
Mm, this one is lovely. I can really smell the berries-infused wine.

Citrus Noel Creamy citrus with vanilla bean noel.
VBN is very strong in this scent but I can sniff out a little citrus. I hope it comes out more in melting!

Cranberry Balsam Citrus, rose, tart cranberries, and balsam.
Oh I love this, it's such a wonderful combination of citrus and florals.

Jack Frost A crisp clean peppermint with vanilla bean.
When I sniff this, I think masculine and clean. Very nice.

Peppermint Meringue Pink sugar, marshmallow, peppermint
Very sweet and a basic peppermint blend scent. Yummy!

Strawberry Peppermint Ice Cream Peppermint ice cream with added strawberry
This might be my least favourite in this order. Enchanted's strawberry is not of the juicy variety and has a mothball-like scent. But I will have to reserve some judgement and melt it first.


Eucalyptus Perdita Napa
This is a customer blend. I would never have thought of this combination in a million years. I like it! The eucalyptus is all-encompassing and I can also detect that bite from Perdita (lemon mint leaf). Napa isn't immediately apparent but I feel like it helps to mellow the overall blend.

Santa's Sleigh Peppermint and leather.
I quite like this combination. It's surprisingly comforting and good.

Haul | Rosegirls (2)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break!

This haul post has been awhile in the making but I have a few days off so I finally got my butt in order to work on my backlog! This RG order was from the 21 June opening. I believe there was a sampler opening and a sale on gift cards recently but I passed on them because with this haul, I have enough RG to last me for a little while.

I was pretty lucky with this haul, making it into the second or third group of wax orders. I didn't think my fingers were that fast! Jenny announced on 23 July that she started working on my order group and I received my CnS on 7 Aug. Just based on the 23 July-7 Aug period, that's a reasonable TAT! Overall, while all the orders in any particular opening may take about 3-4 months to complete, I would say that considering the crazy huge orders that are put in, that Rosegirls also makes wax to stock a physical store and the products are of a high quality, the overall TAT is justified.

I am very satisfied and happy with this order. The scents I picked smell delicious and are all expertly blended. For sure, I will brave the crazy ordering for more RG in future!


Alice in Wonderland Blend of Honeydew and Cotton Candy Frosting
OMG, the honeydew scent is so authentic and really good! And I eat honeydew on a weekly bais

Apple Colada Blend of Green Apple and other tropical fruits
This is a really yummy blend of tropical fruits anchored by the sourness of the green apple.

Blueberry Hill Blend of Boo Berry and Frankenberry
One of RG's most popular blend and I can see why.  I am not sure what's Boo Berry or Frankenberry but this blend is just so berry-licious!

Koopa Troopa Assault Blend of Raspberry Sauce, Sweet Lemon Confection, Pomegranate, and Smoothie
Another crazy popular RG blend, and I am joining the crowd! That Sweet Lemon Confection scent is so good! I might have to seek out all blends with this scent in it.

Lavender Cupcakes with Honey Frosting Blend of Lavender, Cuppa Cake and Wild Honey Bee
Mmm, the Wild Honey Bee scent envelopes the Lavender scent in a huge hug of sweetness but very faintly, a little herbal lavender still shines through to make things interesting. The cuppa cake scent is barely there which suits me just fine!


Macintosh Madness + Rosegirls Garden
Apples and florals make such a good combination, that sweet crunchiness of the Macintosh apples goes really well with the greenness of the florals.

Monster Cookie Fluff Puffs Blend of Smoothie and Monster Cookie
I rarely buy bakery but this blend is continuously praised on the RG facebook page that I just had to try it out and see for myself. It smells a little weird right now, kind of like plastic? I hope it gets better with melting.

Singing in the Rain Secret blend!
This blend is amazing! I will need truckloads more, for sure! To my nose, I detect clean lemon and herbal-type scent. It's fresh and relaxing at the same time!

Summer Daze Blend of Starfruit, Green Apple and Sugared Apple
Another apple blend, of course I had to try it! It's not as sour as Apple Colada but sweeter and more mellow.

Sunny Days Blend of Strawberry Jam and Satsuma
Yummy! I love Satsuma blends for its citrus fizziness, it blends so well with strawberry!


Love Is Many Splendored Thing Pink Sands, Honeydew and Whipped Cream
While this blend is overwhelmingly Pink Sands, there is an extra depth of scent provided by the honeydew.

Nilla Strawberry Noel Blend of Nilla Wafers, Strawberry Jam and Vanilla Bean Noel
The Nilla Wafers are really strong in this scent and it smells really like crispy wafers. If I sniff hard enough, I can detect the strawberry jam.

Haul | Enchanted Candle Company (3)


I think this was a great mystery box! I got lots of scents that I already have and love, some scents that I would not have picked out myself but really liked! And look at those adorable shapes, I can't even...

Duchess A rich creamy vanilla with hints of caramelized sugar (Part of the Mothers of Disney Line, Cream Flower Tart)
This is really creamy and sweet, a very good blending scent!

Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake A thick chocolate chip cookie cake bottom smothered in vanilla ice cream and drizzled in gooey toffee (Part of the Liberty Signature Line, Brown Star Tart)
Mmm, the toffee is very strong, sweet and almost a little coffee-ish. The star shape is huge and I think I will cut it in half.

Pooh's Hunny Pot "Honey I Washed The Kids" by Lush dupe (Part of the Springtime with Roo Signature Blends, Winnie Tart)
I got this scent before and I like it so I am glad to have to have more. It's a totally accurate dupe and check out the adorable Winnie-the-Pooh head shape! So cute!


Bailey's Cream, eggs and chocolate make up this rich Irish whiskey
Unfortunately, this smells like nothing like Bailey's. In fact, it smells kinda fruity.

Cup of Earl A sweet herbal cup of Earl Grey tea that is both fresh and clean
I have this one already and it's super good!

Eeyore's Fluffy Bunny Ears Freshly spun strawberry cotton candy and Easter Peeps
This one is very strawberry sweet (and again that weird plastic note). I am not sure what Easter Peeps are supposed to be, quick googling tells me peeps are made up of marshmallows which makes sense because this one is so sweet!

Lavender & Chamomile A calming herbal blend of lavender, chamomile and hints of eucalyptus
I bought this scent in my second order but it's always good to have back-ups of calming, sleepytime scents. There is a definitely difference between this blend and Nod & Dream. The latter is much sweeter.

Maurice's Amazing Popping Machine Sweet kettle corn topped off with a refreshing cherry coke (Part of the Fathers of Disney Line)
I am surprised at how realistic the cherry coke and kettle corn scents are! Personally I don't think think the two scents blend very well together, but it is so realistic that I am looking forward to melt this to check out its warm scent. I also think that the kettle corn scent could do with a little more sweetness to round everything out.

Mother Gothel Creamy zucchini bread and marshmallow topped with drizzled hazelnut sauce
Wow, the zucchini bread scent immediately makes itself known.

Mrs Incredible Strong bold leather with lacy vanilla
So incredibly (hee!) unique. It's exactly as it says, leather and vanilla. The more I sniff it, the more I like it.

Nod & Dream It will be hard not to nod and dream with this relaxing blend of lavender, vanilla and chamomile.
I bought this in my first Enchanted order and it's great to have a back-up!


Queen Primrose Strong burning lanterns with a bold orange citrus and glowing sunflower
I have this one too. And really, words cannot describe this scent.

Springtime Breaktime The perfect snack after a long afternoon of work. Sweet sugared cookies, honey, and a refreshing glass of lemonade
Another one that I have order before, this one is so good, the honey and lemonade is stronger and I can't really smell any cookies. Really very relaxing kind of scent.

Spring Kleening Day This lavender Fabuloso tart will make your house smell as clean as Rabbit's
If you like laundry/detergent scents, definitely get this one. It's so authentic! I already feel the urge to start cleaning my room!

Strawberry Jam Juicy sweet strawberries
Smells very similar to Eeyore's Fluffy Bunny Ears because like duh, it's the same strawberry! If I had to nitpick a little, it's not very 'juicy'.

Winds in the East "There's a mist comin' in." A fresh thunderstorm scent of brisk breezes blowing across an open field
Another one that I have and I like very much!

Haul | Ten Digit Creations (1)

I am slightly behind in same of the hauls I received earlier! I thought it's about time I finish posting them before my Black Friday orders came in, then it will really be a backlog! My Ten Digit Creations order is excellent, all the scents smell good and strong on cold sniff. Packaging and customer service was impeccable as always. I really have nothing bad to say about this company. They are definitely one of my top 5 vendors!
































Aloe & Green Tea The refreshing combo of aloe and green tea
Gorgeous! I can't really describe it though but it's sweet!

Apple Harvest Juicy apples with a touch of spice
This scent is LOVE! I need more of this, for sure!

Avocado & Sea Salt Salty marine notes blend with bright grapefruit, soft white rose, and creamy avocado
Wow, the sea salt scent is really strong. Underlying that, I smell a fresh, green scent.

Bamboo & Sugar Cane Fresh bamboo and sweet sugar cane
Very unusual scent but I like the freshness of the bamboo, there's a little acidity coming through as well.

Bartlett Pear Sweet, juicy aroma of fresh bartlett pears
Omg, I love this! It's so sweet and juicy! I used to love a similar scent from a company that has shut down, so I am really happy to have found this.

Berry Verbena Fresh berries, lemon verbena, and orange satsuma
At first I smell berries but as I sniff harder the lemon verbena and orange satsuma. I smell a bit of lemongrass too but perhaps lemon verbena and lemongrass smells similar?

Chamomile Apple Fresh chamomile blended with sweet crisp apples
I am loving this scent! The chamomile and apples blend so well together, it's more of a refreshing rather than relaxing scent.

Fruit Loops Smells just like the breakfast cereal
The ever-popular and yummy Fruit Loops scent!

Green Tea & Willow Green tea with notes of fresh air, bergamot, white willow, and jasmine
Fresh and airy scent, there's hints of greenness and woodsiness which I am guessing it's part of the willow?

Honey Lemon Refreshing combo of honey and lemon
The honey is stronger of the two scents, I don't smell much lemon and it's really yummy as it is but I hope it comes out a little more in melting.


Lavender Apple Soft lavender and a mix of juicy apples
I was intrigued by this blend because it's rarely seen and I am still intrigued after sniffing it. It's a pretty equal blend of both scents. I think I will classify this as a relaxing scent. I am looking forwards to melting this.

Lavender Mint Fresh lavender paired with notes of peppermint and spearmint
Herbal and refreshing at the same time! I like this one a lot! Need more!

Lemon Marshmallow Fluffy marshmallows and zesty lemon
Can you believe I have never tried this scent before from any company? I am smelling more marshmallow with an under layer of lemon.

Muscadine Muscadine grapes fresh from the vineyard
This is such a good grape scent, sweet and juicy! Grapes is beginning to become one of my favourite scents!

Orange Blossom Uplifting aroma of sweet orange blossoms
It's a pretty floral but I thought there would be more citrus notes.

Peppermint Meringue Sweet peppermint, fluffy marshmallows, and whipped cream make up this sweet confection
Minty sweetness! The marshmallow and sweet creams helps to sweeten it slightly but it's nice that it's not as cloying and heavy as vanilla/

Pink Sands (Yankee type) ~ bright citrus, sweet florals, and spicy vanilla
Smells like the rest of the Pink Sands dupes I have had before. Florals are the dominant scent note for me.

Red Mac Apple The sweetest apple ever...mouthwatering!
Just a good, sweet authentic mac apple. This will be a staple in my stash!

Sea Berry A fresh sea breeze accompanied by a perfect blend of berries
So pretty! I do feel like I am at the seashore, and the berries scent complement it so well.


Sea Salt & Rice Flower Sea salt mingled with creamy rice flower, citrus peel, and cotton blossoms
This is a pretty blend, I didn't think sea salt and flowers would blend so nicely.

Serendipity A super sweet dessert made with creamy vanilla, confectioners sugar, sweet cherries and oranges, and a dash of coconut shavings
I think this is my first straight Serendipity scent. It's good!

Sugar Milk Sweetened condensed milk
True to the description, I really like this on cold sniff but I am not sure how I will feel when it's melting and that sour milk scent envelopes my room.

Sugared Jasmine Jasmine, bergamot, honey, violet, sandalwood, and sugared musk
I really like this, the strong jasmine florals has been toned down by the other notes, in fact, the sandalwood is particularly strong among the rest.

Twisted Lemon Fresh lemon slices and lemongrass with a shot of green tea and vanilla
Super spa-like and refreshing! So good!

Vanilla Lime Creamy vanilla and zesty lime
I wanted to try this to compare between lemon and lime scents. While it is quite zesty, I think Lemon blends better with sweet notes. The lime is a little jarring with the vanilla.

Violet Vixen Violet blends with crisp, clean lime to produce this sophisticated fragrance
Gorgeous! I have always liked violet scents because they are so unlike other florals but they can be a rather overpowering. I don't smell much lime directly but I think it's there helping to tone down the violets.

Lemon Slices (Sample) Strong aroma of freshly cut lemons.
Pretty straightforward scent: effervescent, clean lemon.

Golden Opium (Sample) Intoxicating blend of citron, patchouli, golden amber, musk, clove, myrrh and woods.
What might otherwise have been too hippy a scent is made different by the citron! I wouldn't have
