I'm just wondering if any of you guys are like me and you often see several scents that just intrigue you but you're not sure if it is worth getting so you make a mental note but haven't yet gotten around to ordering it yet. I can't tell you how many times I've done this so I'm gonna post here some of the scents that I'm curious about and if any of you lovely people have tried any of them before then please give me your opinions on the scent so I can either scratch them off my list or place them directly into my wishlist. Also if you guys have any you are curious about please post them so everyone else can help you decide too.
Mine are:
Apricot Freesia Banana Caramel Cupcake Bergamot & Mandarin Bikini Bottoms Blue Hawaiian Chantilly Lace Coco Beach Baby Peach Coconut Banana Blast Emerald Sea Hemmingway Type ** I know this is a new one but if anyone has tried it please let me know your thoughts! Whispering Winds The Porridge Pot Summer Crush Salted Caramel Type ** Can someone tell me the difference between this and Sea Salt Caramel Plantation Breeze Luna Type Pineapple Cilantro

Banana caramel cupcake is a favorite of mine! you get a lot of banana then caramel but not a lot of cupcake notes come out but i preferred it over caramelized banana split. Not sure on the difference between salted caramel type and sea salt caramel, but ordered sea salt and caramel and ya get a strong salty note not much caramel unfortunately my nose picked up burning salt so i had to re gift it

Thanks so much for the advice. I've had sea salt caramel and I agree I got a salty melted rubber burning note once I melted that as well.

Apricot Freesia was totally ruined for me after my husband said it smelled like a #2 pencil. It's not bad but after he said that of course that is exactly what I smelled. I am regretting telling you this because I don't want to put "#2 pencil" in your mind if you do order it.
Banana Caramel Cupcake is on my more than curious list as well. I see lots of love for it and based on that and Chelscbvforever's love for it I'd say go for it!
Bergamot & Mandarin I have not melted yet. I don't love it cold as much as I thought I would. It's not bad but I get almost a chewable vitamin C smell from it. I am firm believer that scents can really change when warmed. Satsuma of course stands to be favorite citrus so far.
Bikini Bottoms is a great summer tropical scent. Unlike a lot of tropical scents pineapple is not the star. My daughter said it smelled like a gummy bear. I can't disagree but there is more to it than that. It is one of my favorite tropicals. Just sniffed it, musky fruits, that's the best I can do because I can't pick out the fruits individually.
Blue Hawaiian is like a fruit punch type of smell. I can't remember exactly but I think it had a pretty good throw.
Coconut Banana Blast I got in the Round Robin and haven't melted it yet. Cold it smells light and I get more coconut than banana.
Hemingway Type, again I haven't melted this one so I can only give my cold sniff opinion of it. It's sweet, spicy, and woodsy. I would say yes this masculine but not overly so. It reminds me fall and like spiced apple tea. My teen who loves earthy scents loves this one!
Whispering Winds, I HIGHLY recommend this one! Mint and like a fresh cucumber (not the sweet perfumey kind). I have melted this one. On cold sniff it opens your sinuses. It's cool and refreshing. A favorite. I should order more before summer.
Salted Caramel Type is VERY salty! It might be nice blended with a creamy scent or even another caramel type scent. I didn't dislike but probably wont reorder. Sea Salt Caramels was a light caramel scent. It didn't really scream caramel but was a nice sweet scent. I have Dulce De Leche and I think this might be a good caramel type scent, needs to be melted to know for sure.
Pineapple Cilantro is really good and to be honest it was one of my first pineapple scents. I should melt it again now that I have tried many more pineapple scents. I remember loving it when I melted it. Jimmy Buffet (I know you've tried this one) is one of favorite pineapple scents and so is Pineapple Mango.
I hoped that helped a little. I have a wish list going and I'll have to post that soon.

Oh no I will have to beware of the number 2 pencil influence. Don't you hate when that happens when you first really like a scent then someone or something makes you think of another scent you don't like and then it is ruined and never the same?
I like the reverse of that though like with Salty Dog I might not have known what to make of the scent but then when someone told me it smelt like Juicy Fruit I began to like it even more.
Thanks for clearing a lot of those up for me Lisa. I think I will pass on SAlted Caramel Type for now. Hemmingway has now sparked my interest a lot more. I keep on hearing about Pineapple Cilantro and Banana Caramel Cupcake so I think they just keep on getting higher and higher on my list. Might pass for a bit on Bergamot & Mandarin. I love scents with citrus and also the bergamot scents but I'm not sure I want to get a vitamin c scent just yet when I have lots of citrus scents already and still a lot of other scents to try on my wish list.
I'd love to help you out if you have any scents you are curious about that maybe I have tried.
