Butterfly Lane Scents' Hillbilly Homebrew
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; this smelled great cold, but fizzled fast once being warmer. This was about a year old, so maybe that's why, but it smelled better cold.
Butterfly Lane Scents' Pink Cotton Candy

Overall Rating: 7/10; so, so good. Definite repurchase. The cotton candy from BL meshed so well with pink sugar...so lovely and just what I needed!

K's Kreations Loopy Coconut Cookie Bread
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; good, but not a repurchase for me. The fruit loops and coconut went well together, and the cookie bread is a fan favorite from K's, but too bready for me.
K's Kreations Strawberry Bliss + Orchid Lake Candles Serendipity

Overall Rating: 8/10; AMAZING combo! Loved this! It was like a super sweet, strawberry serendipity. YUM!
Lasting Scent Candles Buttermint Candy
Cold Rating: 4/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; not very strong, and also not very good. Something in this was not right, and it didn't smell overly like buttermint candies. Maybe I just waited too long to melt it? Either way, not a repurchase.
Lasting Scent Candles Serendipity
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; great serendipity blend! Wish it had more cherry, but overall, medium high scent all around.
Lasting Scent Candles Snow Flurries
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 3/10
Overall Rating: 3/10; the cold sniff scent alone was enough to put this at a 3, math be damned. EW. It smelled like a nice vanilla mint scent on cold sniff, perhaps with wintergreen, but when warming, YUCK. It smelled musty and gross. Not a repurch!
Lasting Scent Candles Spring Mountain Mint
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; very strange and earthy mixed with mint, water, and dirt, in my opinion. It was good and mediumly strong, but weird. Not a repurch.
Lasting Scent Candles Sweet Potato Muffins
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; interesting scent, very sweet from the brown sugar note. Decent, but not my favorite. Smelled like butter, too. This was a sample and I'm not sure if I'd buy it on my own.
Orchid Lake Candles Pear Noel
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; this was decent, had that great pear smell mixed with caramelly and velvety VBN. Very nice. Not a repurchase, though, it was too sweet.
Up The Creek Scents' Hillbilly Brew Noel
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; I loved UTC's vanilla bean noel straight, but when mixed, it wasn't pleasant to my nose. It wasn't overly strong, though, so there's that. Not a repurchase.

Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; luscious, caramelly, delicious! Strong, wonderful. Loved this dupe. Definite repurchase!
I always want to try Lasting Scents but I think it's their long TAT that has kept me from ever ordering. Their scores don't look too good here. Maybe I'm still not in a hurry to place an order. lol

Lasting Scent is usually a really stellar vendor! I think I just got a string of scents that aren't for me!
DeleteIt sucks you didn't have good luck with LSC this week because they're in my top 5 vendors! I think I might have UTC Vanilla Bean Noel somewhere...I should go melt that :)
ReplyDeleteI really do love LSC, I think I got a string of scents that aren't for me is all! They are a great vendor. Also, you should go and find UTC's vbn! I hope you like it! :)
DeleteThe pink cotton candy sounds really good! I gotva sweet potato and brown sugar free sample from a vendor and did not like it too much. Almost too savory. Very strange for my nose to wrap around.
ReplyDeletePink Cotton Candy has been good from other vendors, but Butterfly Lane makes it especially great! :)
DeleteAGREED about sweet potato and brown sugar types, it's JUST savory enough to be too weird! That's the perfect way to put it! What vendor did you have it from?
I got it from Sugar & Spice so I am pretty sure it was as good a quality scent I could have tried, just not for me!
