Hi! I'm planning on making a scent shot order soon and I need some help with choosing fragrances. I normally get bakery scents but I want to branch out and try some clean/fruity/tropical/floral scents. Here are a few that I've tried:
Birds of Paradise - Wasn't a fan. The berry scent seemed really artificial which I didn't like, I would prefer for it to smell a little more fresh.
Bella Swan - I actually really liked this one. I don't know if it was the grape or floral but I love this scent! So pretty.
Morning in Madrid - I'm not sure why I ordered this because I hate orange scents. It smelled good but this is not something I can melt or burn. The orange and citrus is too much for me.
Treasure Island - Like Birds of Paradise, this one smelled artificial and a little bit too much like fruit punch. It was okay but not something I would repurchase.
Tiffany D - Apparently I do not like melon scents! I bought this in a 9oz jar and have only burned it once. Definitely not a scent for me.
The rest I have ordered have all been bakery or Candleman's Closet. Based off of this which fruity/tropical or floral scents would I probably like best?
I really want to try: Maui Luau Coconut Hibiscus Bhushing Peaches Hawaiian Rain Hawaiian Wedding Cake Starfruit & Mango White Nectarine & Pink Coral
Any opinions on these?

I love Maui Luau! It is Plumeria Passion (different than BBW Plumeria) and Pina Colada I believe. I do get pineapple in this scent from the pina colada which may turn you off if you didn't like Treasure Island. It is a sweet tropical floral with fruitiness. It has a great throw and is on my re-order list.
Bhushing Peaches - I just melted this one the other day and liked it a lot. A nice peach sweetened with strawberry and vanilla. It wasn't so heavy on the strawberry and vanilla that you lose the peach. Peach was the main note to my nose for sure. This scent was well liked by everyone in my house.
Hawaiian Rain - I have had this in a candle for a looooong time. I like it so much more burning than I do cold. It really changes once warmed. It has a crazy scent throw, at least my candle does. If you are looking for a good fruity tropical scent, Bora Bora is pretty amazing.
White Nectarine & Pink Coral - I haven't melted this one in awhile. You may or may not have heard that it smells like peach gummy candies to some people. I am one of those people who picks up on the candy note. I have also heard that it smells like a certain shampoo that I actually happened to have when I got this scent and it does smell like that too. For me this scent is fruity, slightly clean, girly, and flirty. If you mix Bhushing Peaches and White Nectarine & Pink Coral you get "Peachy Pink Coral ~ White Nectarine & Pink Coral and Bhushing Peaches. Created By Kayla."
I haven't tried the any of the scents you have listed. Hawaiian Hula Muffin seems to get lots of love but I haven't tried it myself.
Some of my favorite tropical scents are Bora Bora, Life Is A Beach, and Maui Luau.

If you liked Bella Swan you will probably like Butterfly Kisses, Cleopatra's Closet, and Sophie Belle. Those scents are all different but kind of in the same vein. I like to think of them as sister scents. Cleo's Closet is like a sexier more adult version of Bella Swan, and Butterfly Kisses is pretty close to Bella only a bit more florally, while Sophie Belle is the lightest and sweetest of the bunch.
