I splurged on this order and bought fifteen candles, my first cube melts, and Bath and Body goodies. The order was very much influenced by the highlight of my Winter scent discoveries, Pecan Pie -Yum! There will be photos of the glitter candles posted here another day.
Pecan Pie in a Candleman's Glitter Cube Candle with Dark Green Glitter (gorgeous)!) Southern Nights, Candleman's Glitter Cube Candle in Fuchsia Glitter-lit it...June 2 I will give it more cure time Raspberry Violet, Love, Victoria Candle with Jeweled Bright Pink and Purple Glitter Bella Swan, 16 oz. Apothocary Jar Candle Pecan Pie in a Wood Wick Candle Reese's Peanut Butter Delight Candle Lei Flowers, 8 oz. Jelly Jar Candle Honeysuckle, 8 oz. Jelly Jar Candle - lit it June 4 and there was no noticeable scent (lit B&BW Honeysuckle at the same time with the same result). Why did I think I liked Honeysuckle candles? Oh yes, because the scent shot smells lovely even cold! 8 oz. No Frills Sampler: Cottage Garden Hyacinth - not cured June 8 Blue Raspberries Southern Nights French Crumb Cake Pecan Pie (I plan to give Southern Nights and Pecan Pie to my Hairdresser after they cure.) Summer Sorbet, Mini Jelly Jar candle Pecan Pie Cube Melts Reese's Peanut Butter Melts because Brooke loves them Room Sprays in: Southern Nights Pecan Pie Raspberry Violet Chunk 'N Dunk Soaps in: Iced Orange Bundt Cake Pink Cupcake Summer Sorbet-not a pretty color and not much of a scent
This package arrived February 25 with absolutely everything in perfect condition! Three Cheers for Candleman!!! I tucked them all away and plan to check the Fruits and Florals in mid April.

Nice order! I bet the Raspberry Violet Love Vic is so pretty with the pink and purple mixes together. Can't wait to see pictures sometime. I'm a big fan of Raspberry Violet, Bella Swan, and Summer Sorbet. Blue Raspberries is a great candied blue raspberry scent too. You know I passed up Pecan Pie around Thanksgiving though I thought about it, maybe I should mark it for next Thanksgiving since I'm a semi-seasonal melter. French Crumb Cake sounds really mouth watering too...

Oh Abbie, 15 candles plus! What a fantastic order! I can't to see pics of the lovely glitters you chose. The candleman's cube candle is one of the candles I long for the most!
I am so glad you got some room sprays too! Raspberry Violet is a very pretty scent.
You make me want to try Southern Nights.

Oh thanks for the thumbs up on Raspberry Violet! It sounds so lovely. It's always nice to receive encouragement that I made good choices. I am planning on a fragrant Spring!

That color is super pretty and is that a couch or a blanket it is on because it matches so well!

The matching background is a soft fleece robe that I love.

Disalan, I was SO impressed with my first Southern Nights Candle, but since then I have had a Silver Glitter Love Victoria Candle in the scent that just never seemed to develop. (Yes, I emailed Victoria.) Now that I've lit the Fuschia glitter candle it doesn't seemed to have cured yet at the three month mark, so I'll give that one more time. So I'm getting concerned about recommending Southern Nights anymore. I have a humongous 32 oz bowl in Southern Nights. If the Fuschia glitter candle and the Big Bowl candle disappoint me, I'll remove Southern Nights from my Favorites list.
Do bigger candles take any longer to cure than smaller ones? It hasn't seemed so to me. I would expect a floral fragrance like Southern Nights to cure in six weeks. Any advice?

Upon reflection...I am really enjoying my Southern Nights Soap and Room Spray. The Body Spray is subtle but I got a compliment on it. You may want to enjoy this summery fragrance in Bath and Body goodies first!

I did order a SS in Southern Nights and on cold sniff I really like it a lot. I almost get a citrusy floral note but that could be my crazy nose. My floral hating husband wasn't fond of it but my daughter who likes florals liked it a lot. I have a feeling it might throw pretty good so I may start with under a 1/4 of SS when I do melt it. I'm not sure about cure time and candle size. If I had to guess I would say that larger candles would take longer to cure but that is just a guess. From what I'v read it seems like bakery scents take the longest to cure.

The Southern Nights Big Bowl Candle was a big success! The fragrance cured, had a two room throw, smelled lovely, and that candle burned SO very nicely!
