Good review as always! I personally loved spice apple pie but I do get how you got a medicine note. I will definitely have to try some of those apple scents you mentioned because that means they will be even better!
I haven't tried any of the scents you mentioned, so thanks for, yet again, another great review!

Hooray for your birthday month! Awesome review and as always it put a smile on my face. I really do look forward to your monthly reviews I think cinnamon scents take a longer time to cure and/or the cinnamon is really strong on cold sniff. A lot of my spicy scents have toned down since I got them but boy I sure could pick out the cinnamon at first. I totally agree that Cinnamon Buns has more cinnamon than than Cinnabon and Cinnamon Donuts. Cinnamon Donuts is my favorite only slightly beating out Cinnabon. I like all 3 of the above scents and would be sad if I didn't have at least one in my stash at all times. My Apple Cinnamon Butter smelled ready to go the minute I got it. I think that it was one of the "extra" scents shots that get poured up when someone orders just one. It made me crave cinnamon toast and sadly I found out I was all out of cinnamon . The "butter" part was more creamy and sweet to me than it was a butter scent which is good because I don't think I want to smell a ton of butter. My oldest daughter described it as smelling like the apples in an apple fritter with out the bakery note. Baked Apple Strudel just got added to my list, I love bakery apple! I'm going to hoard my Autumn Apple until we have cooler weather because it smells like such a great fall scent cold. It will be tough to wait that long because I'm afraid we have quite a few more weeks left of warm weather. Caramel Macciato is a sweet one! I ordered Coffee Bean and I'm hoping that it will help beef up any coffee scents that might be a little weak in the actual coffee scent department. I'm thrilled that you reviewed Raspberry Peach Cobbler! I have been eyeing the coffee cup cutie but haven't tried the actual scent yet. The other cobbler scents are ones I have not tried either but I do love raspberry and peaches so I may one start with that one. I find a real tomato leaf scent to be oddly pleasurable and thought Tuscan Herb would blow my mind. I'm finding my nose is very picky and unpredictable when it comes to green and earthy scents. Thanks to your review I will keep Raspberry Tomato Leaf on my wish list I love how Soft Blanket reminds you of someone you love. For me it is a very innocent scent and one I'd repurchase. I loved Sweet Talk! I'd wear in it a body spray for sure. It actually just got added to b&b Thanks again for the great review!

Glad to hear that the citrus in Soft Blanket is not detectable. I can finally add it to my list.

So helpful! Several of the scents you discussed are ones I am waiting through cure time on or ones that I was wondering about. I'm looking for my best Apple Pie scent, for example. Thanks!!!

I'm so glad all of you guys found them helpful. Lisa: I completely agree with you about Apple Cinnamon Butter. It also made me want some apple butter on toast. Lucklily being from the midwest and having an apple orchard about an hour away we always have apple butter on hand. Too bad about not having cinnamon though. It sucks when a fragrance makes you crave something but you don't have it. I had that problem with Cinnabon when I first melted it. The scent taunted me for three days before I finally caved and went and bought some cinnamon rolls. Bakery scents should come with a warning label. I would also just to be on the safe side buy a shot of raspberry peach cobbler before committing to the cutie just for the simple fact of if you don't like you only wasted 2 dollars and not 20. Then again I've had my fair share of impulse buys and they have worked out surprisingly somtimes. My Slap Yo Momma Smoothie candle being one of them. I knew that banana and vanilla bean didn't sound like they would smell good together but I bought it anyways and I have no regrets. Sometimes you just gotta take a chance on somethings. And if in the end you don't like it you could always give it away as a gift since they are so darn pretty and Christmas will be here before we all now it.

The very next day after melting Cinnamon Buns I went to the store and bought some cinnamon rolls. My smelled the scent shot cold but not warm and that had her craving cinnamon rolls too. There must be something very irresistible with cinnamon bakery scents. Actually Blueberry Flapjacks resulted in a late night run to Krispy Kreme. What can I say? I'm weak!
