I'm going to call my February 19th my first order since the order before that was back close to 2008 or 2009. I was able to try all of the scents and here are my thoughts.
Dislikes:
Buttery Popcorn (scent shot) to be fair this was my free scent shot. It smells exactly like buttered popcorn but just not something I want to smell. The cold and warm scent is pretty much spot on. Any popcorn lovers would really enjoy this.
OK:
Cajun Cornbread (mini jar) Not what I was expecting with all of the reviews this gets. It smells like homey popcorn (and it's not the leftovers from Buttery Popcorn I swear!) and it smells like there is a warmth to it. Kinda weird for me to smell popcorn lol. It won't prevent me from burning it every once in awhile, but I definitely wouldn't want to burn it in the summer.
Honeysuckle Rose (scent shot) I had tremendous high hopes for this one. I'm melting this today actually. The base note is truly a sharp soap scent so I think that's what I'm not a fan of. However, it does smell like honeysuckle but not the "middle of the summer" kind .. more so the beginning of summer when they start blooming. I smell rose in there a smidge but I think it could be that soapy scent. I'll probably try another honeysuckle something, I ordered Butterfly Kisses (which I think it might be a Bath and Body dupe?) so fingers are crossed. Again, I'll still use this more when I clean the apartment type of thing but I don't think it's a repurchase.
Likes:
Iris & Fern (mini jar) It smells so much better when this is burning then it is cold. It has an awesome amount of throw! Sweet florals.
Sea Salt and Rice Flower (mini jar) Spa-like scent. I'm not sure what rice flower smells like but I can definitely smell the salt in this. It's a calming scent - an excellent candidate for the bathroom.
Sugared Corn Pudding- (scent shot) I can smell the sweetness of the corn. I prefer this a lot more than Cajun Cornbread.
Watermelon Cupcake- (scent shot) It does smell like a sweet bakery cake. I don't know if I need more for it to cure, but I get a slight synthetic/plastic note. Overall I can see this in the summer.
Favorites:
Bhushing Peaches (mini jar) I smell the tart peaches, strawberries, and an underlayer of vanilla. It really smells like a peach is right under your nose!
Breath of Ireland (mini jar) Green scent, very fresh and a great combination of florals. It mixes so well! I can't really detect all of the florals in this one - but even the boyfriend loves it.
Fizzy Pop (mini jar) Just like Sprite, lemon lime scent! Refreshing and also a scent in which I like to burn when I clean.
Iced Orange Pineapples (mini jar) Paired with sweet oranges and tart pineapples. It does really smell like they are both frozen!
Pizzelle (mini jar) I got this per Cayla's rave review and it does not disappoint at all! I smell warm brown sugar waffle cones. A really pleasant and not an overpowering scent. Delicate!
Lemon Meringue Pie (scent shot) A true replica. I can smell the lemon curd and the toasty crust. Nothing else! A great dessert scent.
