Lightning Round Reviews #27: Lake Providence Lodge Round-Up (A-O)!

I haven't done a Lightning Round Reviews post since January, so let's rectify this situation! Today, I am featuring some older melts from Lake Providence Lodge letters A-O. The rest will be up another day!! Note: the date on these tarts is the date I received them in the mail, but they have been melted throughout the last year with notes included in my notebook!
Apple Cinnamon ~ Simple and delicious cinnamon dusted apple slices. There is no crust or bakery, just apples and cinnamon. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Apple Cinnamon
Cold Rating6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating6.5/10
Overall Rating6/10; middle of the road apple cinnamon scent, nothing extreme, but not bad, just your average cinnamon apple blend.
Apple Pie ~ Just like a warm from the oven baked apple pie. You will smell it all-apples, spices and crust. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Apple Pie
Cold Rating6.5/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating7/10
Overall Rating7/10; even though this has a crusty note to it, I loved it! It has a good throw, an excellent scent, and really smelled authentic!
Apple Spice ~ Perfectly ripe apples tossed with warm spices. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Apple Spice
Cold Rating9/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating9/10
Overall Rating9/10; impeccable scent. Wonderful! Smelled so good, much better than Apple Cinnamon. More spices, more to love! Heavy on the cinnamon.
Cider Lake ~ Spiced and sweet cider blended with sugary caramel. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Cider Lake
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating7/10
Overall Rating8/10; you have to love caramel to like this one. I wasn't bothered by it as much here as I usually am with caramel scents, so this was nice, but it is a very authentic caramel apple scent. Sweet, juicy apples, very strong!
Country Cottage ~ Sweet cinnamon blended with vanilla, caramel, a touch of cider and maple syrup. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Country Cottage
Cold Rating10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating10/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; rivals my beloved The Lodge's Kitchen, but each are different in their own way. It is sweet and spicy together in a perfect dance of fallness.
Cranberry Lime ~ Sweet and tart cranberries blended with a squeeze of lime juice. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Cranberry Lime
Cold Rating7/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating7.5/10
Overall Rating7.5/10; heavy lime meets sweet cranberry with a bit of tartness in there, too. Quite pungent on the citrus front, but I loved it. Really exceeded my expectations.
Cranberry Spice ~ Cinnamon and spice soaked sweet cranberries. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Cranberry Spice
Cold Rating7.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating7.5/10
Overall Rating7.5/10; sort of reminds me of a craft store, but in a non offensive way. Very spicy, sweet and mildly tart, if I didn't know this was cranberry, I might not have known because it was in the bathroom and I wasn't paying much attention to it until I walked by the room.
Cupcake ~ Cupcakes made with white cake and buttercream frosting. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Cupcake
Cold Rating8/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating7/10
Overall Rating7/10; this smelled sooooooooooooo good on cold sniff, I was a bit let down by its final product. Most bakery lover will love this either way, but to me, it was a bit *too* bakery. Still, the buttercream frosting scent was excellent mixed in with this!
Iced Pumpkin Cookie ~ Vanilla sugar cookie combined with fresh pumpkin and apple, hints of cinnamon and clove. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Iced Pumpkin Cookie
Cold Rating6/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating6/10
Overall Rating6/10; this scent wax extremely buttery, like, more than you can imagine it would be. The spices were nice, but I couldn't get over the butter note.
Lime Slices ~ Tart and sweet. A delicious, clean lime scent! 
Lake Providence Lodge's Lime Slices
Cold Rating7/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating7/10
Overall Rating7/10; quite a strong lime scent, and yes, it does manage to smell a bit clean! You have to love lime for this one as there are no other notes, but it's insane how accurate LPL's scents are.
Melted Marshmallow ~ Lightly warmed, sugar-y marshmallows. A delicious and rich vanilla scent.
Lake Providence Lodge's Melted Marshmallow
Cold Rating8/10
Lit Rating: 8.5/10
Throw Rating8.5/10
Overall Rating8.5/10; an amaaaaaaaaaaaazing marshmallow scent, this scent shot was dripping with ooey gooey goodness. Sweet, creamy, this would be an excellent blender. YUM!!!
Mulberry Spice ~ Warmed mulberries, steeped in syrupy brown sugar and cinnamon just waiting to become a cobbler. 
Lake Providence Lodge's Mulberry Spice
Cold Rating7.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating7.5/10
Overall Rating7.5/10; I'm not sure I'd know what a mulberry was if it bit me where the sun don't shine, but I really liked this scent! It had a nice spice mixed with the sweet berry, but it sort of reminded me a little like cranberry. Good, though!

  3. I love that you keep a notebook because I do the same thing! Cranberry Lime sounds like my kind of scent! So funny how different scent "tastes" can be (sorry Deb...Mulberry Spice not for me!) :)
