Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Or Forever Alone/ Single's Awarness Day whatever you choose to call it. Here is my review for this month's scents. I'm getting back into my usual monthly review groove. This one has some Valentine-ish scents like Pink Chiffon, Creme Brulee but it is also varied in that it has lots of other scent categories as well. I hope some of you guys find this helpful and that you all enjoy your V-day! queentakesjack22.blogspot.com/2014/02/i-belong-with-you-you-belong-with-me.html

Great review I ordered Pink Chiffon in a lotion and body spray and I will definitely say I do love it more in b&b. I have yet to melt Coconut Water. Your description of it is dead on what I smell cold. Watery coconut is what pops in my head every time I smell it. There is definitely something else in it. I haven't smelled what it is duping either. I really loved Blueberry Monkey Bread cold. My nose picks up a cinnamon bread with blueberries. It wasn't as strong as Blueberry Flapjacks and because of that Blueberry Flapjacks is still my favorite blueberry bakery scent. I got Blueberry Cobbler at the same time I got Blueberry Monkey Bread, I just haven't melted it yet. I have Monkey Bread and haven't melted so I can only tell you what I think of it on cold sniff. It is most comparable to Cinnamon Buns in my opinion. Of course that could change once melted. You know I find myself loving all mints. Between Twisted Peppermint and Marshmallow Peppermint I liked Twisted Peppermint better. I recently received Garden Mint, so far so good cold anyway. Thanks again for the review Because I like anise I'm torn between swapping Root Beer out with Root Beer Float on my wish list....

Thanks Lisa!
Hmm that is strange that Monkey Bread smells like Cinnamon Buns. I do so hope it changes once warmed up for you. If it does please let me know because I want a slightly spiced baked bread scent and so far Cinnamon Buns is too strong on the cinnamon and Cinnamon Raisin Bread wasn't bad, but I want something a little lighter and sweeter.
Blueberry Flapjacks and Blueberry Cobbler are both good but Blueberry Cheesecake has got to be my favorite bakery bueberry scent. At first I didn't care for it but after like 6 months of curing it got even sweeter and so I think for my personal nose I have to let that one cure way longer than most people do. It was one of those scents that surprised me and grew on me after time. Now I love it.
Ooohh Garden Mint sounds great for the spring. It is more on the minty side or on the garden side?
I say since you like anise Root Beer shouldn't be a problem for you. I just can detect any hint of anise and instantly my nose is like NO. lol That and patchouli are probably the two scents that my nose has the most difficulty with. Since you like it I say go for it. They are both good and Root Beer is just stronger and you get more of the twangy part that is in real root beer. Root Beer Float is just a more milder version so it isn't as strong on the twang. You might try Root Beer Float just to see if you will like it and then if you do maybe go for Root Beer since it is a step up in scent strength.

Blueberry Cheesecake hasn't made its way into my life yet but I bet it's on my wishlist. I am definitely more of a bakery lover than I thought I ever would be.
Garden Mint is more mint than garden to my nose. I haven't melted it yet and I am a little stuffy but the best way for me to describe it is fresh and dried mint leaves. However it is not as "green" as you might imagine a mint leaf to be.
Root Beer or Root Beer Float seem like fun scents to melt in summer. I have Orange Cream Soda and have had it for a loooong time. Cold it smells so thick and sweet I've been putting off melting it for fear it I wont like it.

I have tried Orange Cream Soda and honestly was a little disappointed. I don't really remember too much of exactly how it smelt but I know it didn't smell like orange cream soda to me. I think it was musky and deeper smelling than I thought it would be. Still you never know you may love it once you warm it up I just know that I personally didn't care for it and I believe I swapped it in the last round robin. I love orange scents but that one just didn't suit my tastes.
