Satsuma - This scent gave me such flashbacks to my childhood. It reminds me of the orange Minute Maid Juice popsicles that we had all time growing up. It is a nice fresh orange juice scent. I love it.
Peachy Pink Coral - A really nice light peach scent. I hope more coral comes out when it is warmed.
Pink Noel - I'm not getting much of anything yet. Maybe a light vanilla note. A bit of cure time is needed
White Chocolate Karibu - The scent that every raves about. It is a nice nutty white chocolate scent. I will have to also let this one cure a bit.

Sleepy Hallow - I don't know how I feel about this one. It is very earthy with strong wood notes.
Trick or Treat - A nice creamy scent. I can't really pick out any individual notes yet.
Love Potion #9 - A really great fruity perfume scent.
*** Free Scent Shot** Wildberry Scone - A really strong berry scent. I'm not picking up much scone yet, but I will let it cure a bit.
Cotton Candy - I'm just getting a light strawberry scent. Not much cotton candy at this point.
The Bubbles make me loopy - Holy Cow - I LOVE THIS SCENT. This might be my new favorite. Candle worthy for sure.

Vanilla Cake Pops - A nice vanilla scent with a touch a cinnamon.
Watermelon Cupcake - I'm just getting a watermelon scent. The bakery note will need a bit of curing time.
Three Ring Circus - Another light strawberry note
Best Friends - A nice fruity blends. I don't pick up any individual notes
Hot Toddy - I'm just picking up a strong cinnamon.
Under the Big Top - A light strawberry scent
Fruit Loops Cupcake - I'm just getting the fruit loops
Snow Taffy - A nice creamy scent. I do pick up all the main notes. I don't get much of the lemon or strawberry

Snowberry - A really nice berry blend with a minty background. I really love this.
Melon Ball- A straight up melon scent.
Raspberry Banana Cream - A nice creamy fruit scent. Almost smells like yopait yogurt
Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam - Smuckers Strawberry Jam... Is the first note I smell. I'm not getting much peanut better yet
Genevieve's Tea Ring - A slight spicy blend.
Pink and Lime - Smells just like the namesake. A could see loving this in the summer.
Cider Webb - It smells like a cider donut. Yummy
Lemon Meringue Pie - Spot on. Another candle worthy scent off the cold throw.
Cold December Night - A strong minty fragrance. I could see melting this when I have a bad cold.

A lot of really great scents there. So happy that I just ordered Cider Webb and Snow Taffy based on your descriptions and the sites they both sound like they are up my alley. Thanks for the reviews! Can't wait to read what you think of the rest of them.

I'm glad you are going to try those two. I think they are my favorite of the new releases. I always get a bit nervous recommending scents because they have not fully cured yet. I will be trying to give them 3 weeks before I try any of them. It will be really hard, but I do have old candles to use up before they are ready.

Great review Jackieo! I understand why your nervous about recommending scents before you think they have cured. I think you can definitely get a pretty good idea if you'll like a scent or not from a cold sniff. Scents do change when they cure and of course most do when warmed as well. There are scents that I loved cold and still loved when warmed. I like how you described Raspberry Banana Cream smelling like yogurt, it is one of the scents I go back and forth with ordering but it remains on my wish list. I might have to give it try soon. Lemon Meringue Pie, I've had this one on my list since my very first sniff of Lemon Pound Cake. Yet it is another scent I really want to try but get too distracted by other scents or what seems to be poplar with the scent loving masses and end up never ordering. I WILL order it next time I place an order for sure. Snow Taffy and Cider Webb are two of the new scents that I absolutely am kicking myself for not ordering Do you happen to pick up an almond note in Snow Taffy? Your order looks fabulous! Enjoy your new scents and thanks again for the review

I do pick up a slight almond note, but not the typical cherry almond note.
Thanks! I will probably do another one in a month once the scents cure a bit.

I have to some how come up with another reason to order soon so I can get my hands on Cider Webb. BTW I didn't pick up much of a scone note when I melted Wildberry Scone but the yummy warm blackberry note I smelled was so good. It is one of my favorite bakery scents.

A couple more reviews Macintosh Apple- A super strong Apple scent. You have to really like apple to enjoy this one. I happen to love apple, so I am super happy to have purchased this in the mini jelly jar. Stress Relief- This is another extremely strong scent. I think it will be perfect when I have a cold or migraine. My Brother thought this was an awful scent and he didn't understand why anyone would order it. LOL. Bora Bora - This is a perfect summer tropical scent. I think this will actually become a favorite of mine in the winter. I tend to love summer scents when it is cold and dreary out. I like to pretend I'm on a beach Under The Big Top - I loved the cotton candy and strawberry notes, but I'm not a fan of the caramelized pralines scent. Carmel/maple scents are not my favorite Best Friends- Another great one. A must have for fruity lovers. Sleepy Hollow- This scent did not work for me at all. I should have known that I would not like it. I'm not a fan of earthy type scents. I actually sent this SS to Deb (aka Tomahawknative)

My Sleepy Hollow shot isn't cured yet but so far it smells like and earthy men's cologne to me and I'm not digging it either. I think we both have similar noses since I do not care for maple or thick caramel scents either.

^ I also think we have similar noses. Which is fantastic, so I can go through your reviews and pick out scents that I know I will like.

Love Birds - I love this scent. It is a nice soft scent that is not too overwhelming. My Mom has hijacked this candle from me.
Lemon Meringue Pie - A really nice sweet lemon bakery scent. It smells exactly like what is supposed to smell like.
