Country bumpkin is an extremely spicy scent. I get a cinnamon stick scent with a hint of sweetness and depth, which I think is pumpkin and marshmallow. I enjoy it but it probably wouldnt be a reorder!
Hello dolly is delicious! The longer it cures the more the butterscotch becomes noticeable. The chocolate isn't too obvious, but it keeps the coconut and butterscotch from being too sweet. The coconut just peeks out at the perfect amount. When this is melting, it reminds me a lot of creamy caramel.
Bath time with pooh is really hard to describe. It is really clean but it doesn't smell like your typical clean scent. It smells like sweet, fresh Johnson's baby shampoo!

I really liked Hello Dolly and I'm thinking about order it in the cubes next time. Bath with Pooh is good also . Its a dupe, that most people describe as a clean scent. But I kind of think it smells like those Bit O Honey candies.

I haven't tried Blueberry Cheesecake but I can tell you that Blueberry Flapjacks is beyond delicious. To me it smells like every yummy delicious bakery scent I have ever had. I thank Katie for getting my hooked on that scent!
Hello Dolly and Rice Crispy Treats are two new scents to me that I have yet to melt. Hello Dolly smells like all 3 yummy scents to me. I could smell the Fudge Brownie and Coconut Cream Pie right away. Now that I also have Bubbling Butterscotch Sundae I can now pick it of Hello Dolly. I bet it will be new favorite for me. Rice Crispy Treats smells sweet and creamy. Right now I only smell a little bit of the cereal note.
Bath Time With Pooh smells like what it is duping. It also smells a lot like the Burts Bees baby soap I use on my son too. For me it definitely is a sweet clean scent but not so clean that smells like chemicals. The warm honey and toffee notes in this scent make it very comforting and relaxing. I'm surprised I haven't reordered more. It is one of those scents that I think is perfect for day of pajama's and movies.

Blueberry cheesecake vs. blueberry flap jacks - there's a maple note in the flapjacks version that isn't present in the cheesecake version. If you want more warm bakery-ish, go with flapjack. If you're looking for the sweet fruity bit more, go for cheesecake
apricot crumb cake - just got it, super juicy apricot and light fluffy cake. YUM!
country bumpkin - serious amounts of red hot cinnamon with a huge throw
hello dolly - I really like this one, it's like chocolatey butterscotchy waffle cones
rice crispy treats - a light vanilla scent, not much throw for me but YMMV
nut house - nice nut scent, but it was a bit on the light side for the space I have
under the big top - I love this one. Sweet, strawberry with a bit of warm caramel/nut thrown in from the pralines

A little late to the party but I agree with everything that has been said. The blueberry in both BFJ and BC is a candied blueberry. Blueberry Cheesecake is probably the sweetest of the two and Blueberry Flapjacks while also sweet because of the maple syrup is a bit more on the bakery side.
Bath Time With Pooh smells like sweetened Baby Shampoo to me. I'm a nanny so I smell Johnson's a lot and that is what BTWP smells like to me. Like Johnson's with honey.
Hello Dolly smells like all of the scents in it but they all come together nicely to create a yummy baked dessert type of fragrance with a strong scent throw.
Country Bumpkin is more spice then anything so if you get it be sure you like Red Hot cinnamon because that is the main note.
Rice Crispy Treats can have a play dough note to it before it's warmed but it goes away once it is melting. So don't be alarmed.
Under The Big Top is good unless you don't like Caramelized Pralines or that salted nut scent because while it is mostly cotton candy smelling you get that edge of the caramalized pralines with it as well.
