Swift & Supersonically Snappy Short Review #61: Front Porch Candle Co.'s Honeysuckle

Springtime means flower time!
Front Porch Candle Co.'s Honeysuckle
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; one of my favorite floral scents. Not as strong as I wanted or expected this to be. Sort of an older tart, but I expected this would have been the same any other time. Lasted 4 hours in the bathroom with the window opened. Well meaning. Making the back of the house smell nice, only needing strength. Pronouncing "s-t-r-e-n-g-t-h" as "s-t-r-e-n-t-h," THERE IS A G, PEOPLE. Delicate, sweet-like floral. I know how honey smells, but what does a suckle smell like? Unnecessary and unintended dirtiness. Wanting to have honeysuckle flowers in my house/backyard, needing succulents since everything we ever try to grow dies.

Swift & Supersonically Snappy Short Review #59: Front Porch's Moonspice Marshmallow

My love of celtic moonspice knows no bounds, 365/24/7, all the time.
Front Porch's Moonspice Marshmallow
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 8.5/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; FP's marshmallow strikes again. Celtic moonspice creepin' up in all warmers. Lovely throw, pleasant fragrance. Sweet and slightly spicy, but mostly marshmallowy that is sort of velvety, too. Huge cookie shapes. 2-3 melts per cookie. Lasted 6-8 hours each time I melted. Lovely bags. Simple labels. Fantastic blends. Marshmallow being a stand-by scent. Not ordering from Front Porch in a long time, Ignoring emails. Refusing to update email app. Needing a new phone because mine won't charge. Repurchase for sure!

Swift & Supersonically Snappy Short Review #54: Front Porch Candle Company's Apple Mango Tango Marshmallow

Do you reserve clean or fresh scents for laundry or cleaning day? I have gotten into that habit over the last year or so, but I love fresh scents, so it's hard to save 'em!
Apple Mango Tango laundry type + marshmallow
Front Porch Candle Company's Apple Mango Tango Marshmallow
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; creamy marshmallow, one of Front Porch's best scents combined with a delicate yet floral laundry scent. Really excellent blend, tones down the harshness of a straight clothesline type of fragrance. Strong in the bathroom warmer, yet strangely mellow because of, again, that brilliant marshmallow. Probably my favorite marshmallow scent in wax. Lasted 6 hours. Never had a bad blend including marshmallow. Saying marshmallow too much. Fluffy clouds. Reminds me of fluffy towels. Cleaning day. Laundry day. 2 baskets overflowing as we speak. Needing laundry pods. Heavy baskets. Daunting. Fresh laundry is one of the best scents in the world.

Lightning Round Reviews #23: More Bathroom Melts!

The warmer in my bathroom, my very first wax warmer, died the other day. May it rest in sweet smelling peace. I had to move my kitchen warmer into the bathroom because I melt so frequently in there now that I feel like having a handle on my bathroom warmer benefits me.....it makes sense in my mind.

Anyways, I have lots of bathroom melts for you all today, so come along and see how they fared!
Crabby Candle Company's White Tea & Mango
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5.5/10; had high hopes for this one and was underwhelmed to say the least. I have tried this scent from other vendors and loved it and was hoping for the same results from Crabby. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I wouldn't repurchase this. The white tea note was overwhelmed by the fruitiness of the mango. Lasted 3 hours.
Crabby Candle Company's Hawaiian Rainbow Cake
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 4.5/10
Throw Rating: 3.5/10
Overall Rating: 4.5/10; again, another underwhelming tart. I can't make vendors have good wax, I can only report with my results and hope they take our comments to heart. There was a real faint cake note in this, but pretty much it was a tropical scent that wasn't strong at all. Meh. Lasted 3 hours. I might repurchase because what I did smell I liked, just hated that it was so weak.
Crabby Candle Company's Southern Ice Tea
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; oddly floral. Not super strong. Unfortunately not the best tea scent I have ever smelled. Didn't care for this much, only left it in 2 hours before dumping. Not a repurchase.
Dutch Candle Company's Blue Lime
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; really lovely! I had my doubts about this one on cold sniff, but it really was a great little melt while warming. Pretty decent throw, could smell this in other areas of the house. Not sure what's in this, but I liked it. Fruity and fun. Lasted 4 hours. Might repurchase if I ever buy from this vendor in the future.
Dutch Candle Company's Lily of the Valley
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 2/10
Overall Rating: 3.5/10; rounded slightly down. I was looking forward to this scent, but upon melting, it had almost no throw and barely any scent, unless I put my nose in the warmer. Unfortunate! I probably wouldn't buy this again. I did give this company 3 tries over the years and wasn't impressed generally. Lasted 2 hours before I cut my losses and dumped it.
Febreze's Grapefruit Fizz
Cold Rating: 10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; would you believe it if I told you this scent was one of the best products I have ever tried? Holy cow, this was phenomenal!! The scent by itself was decent anyways, but then add in a stellar throw and impeccable melted scent, too? Amazing! I could smell this outside the house it was so strong. General grapefruit mixes with some sort of fizziness to give it a fruity/fresh scent that I crave. So, so good. Loved it. It seemed to last forever, definite repurchase. These clamshells have 6 cubes in them and a small cut on the front of the package so people can see what it smells like. I don't like this feature, but it didn't seem to impact how well it lasted and threw. Part of me couldn't help but wonder if there were any cleaning products in this because it smelled so fresh! LOL. Wonderful!
Cactus & Sea Salt - This scent is Very Powerful. Feels like your at the ocean smelling the salty water with undertones of driftwood, green cactus and sea spray.
Front Porch's Cactus & Sea Salt
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; another scent that didn't perform the way I'd hope it would, but was still decent. One of my favorite fresh scents. Not as strong while melting and the throw wasn't as good as other have been. Might have been an old tart. Great for cleaning day. Fresh cactus mixed with saltiness that is really something else. Very sea-like and beautiful. Could have been stronger. Would repurchase. Lasted 5 hours.
Front Porch's Cinnamon Apple Cider
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; rounded slightly up. This smelled so good on cold sniff that I was a bit disappointed by its results while warming and for throw. It wasn't bad, just not what I wanted. It became more of a generic apple scent while melting. You win some, you lose some! Lasted 4 hours. I would probably repurchase this scent just because I can't get enough apple scents in the fall and wintertime. Not overly cinnamony for something that claims it is. Maybe I'm being overly negative about this one.
Front Porch's Loopy Lemon Cream
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; someone requested this a loooong time ago and wanted a dupe for the BSF scent Loopy Lemon Cream Noel. This is much lighter than that scent. It smelled great on cold sniff, but the throw and lit rating were not that great. It lasted a while, though the scent was minimal, about 8 hours. I probably could have dumped it after 6. I might purchase this again to compare and see if it's still just as poor performance wise. Remember, loopy is fruit loops, so if you're not a cereal fan, you won't like this anyways!
The best Marshmallow we have ever tested, just like the real gooey thing...love it and super strong scent throw!
Front Porch's Marshmallow
Cold Rating: 10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; the best marshmallow scent in wax. So strong, so creamy, so good. Lasts what seems to be forever. Great all around the house. Melted 2 of these in the bathroom and 2 in the bedroom at the same time for a cloudy, pillowy marshmallow house! YUM! Sweet, delicious, fragrant, forceful. Always a repurchase, in any form or attached to any other scent!
Marshmallow Peppermint Twist- (In House Blend)- One of our best sellers, this strong peppermint blended with creamy marshmallow undertones.
Front Porch's Marshmallow Peppermint Twist & Pink Cupcakes
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; pretty good scent, though the cupcakes all but got lost in this, which might account for its high rating. Not that their cupcake scent is bad, just sort of buttery/buttercreamy. Lovely marshmallow and peppermint scent. Fresh. Lasted 5.5 hours, would repurchase. I melted the entire cupcake chunk, so I'd probably cut them in half next time.
Princess Gown- a perfume fragrant scent described to have floral hints of carnation, blood orange, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, with linen undertones. Very fragrant!
Front Porch's Princess Gown
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; a bit out of my comfort zone, I got this from a giveaway box. I liked it a lot, actually! Yes, it was very floral, but not something that hurt my nose. The scent was mild overall while melting and the throw wasn't in your face. Very nice flowery mix plus some small wisps of fruitiness. Repurchase for sure. Lasted 5-6 hours.

~~~~~~~~~~
Have a splendid weekend!

Review: Front Porch's Pink Laundry Sheets

Do you have one designated day that you do laundry every week, or do you wait until you run out of clothes and have mountains to do?
I ask because my system is broken.
I can never just get my ass in gear to do laundry! Maybe it's because our washer pipe has a leak, maybe it's because the washer and dryer are in the garage and it's ~*s0o0o0o0o0o far away~* or maybe it's because no matter what the stupid basket weighs 49827598042509827 pounds, but I need a new system.
Regardless, when I am in "laundry mode," I am unstoppable. I have to have laundry or clean or fresh scents going...something about the smell of the detergent mixed with the scent of grassy socks (LOL) gets my in the mood to launder!
I reached for Front Porch's Pink Laundry Sheets because pink plus anything is bound to be good, right?
...ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I spoke too soon.
Some of you might like this.
(I've come to find out there's a scent out there for everyone, even if you personally feel like it's horrible and putrid.)
This is neither of those things, but it's most definitely not my favorite laundry scent. Heck, it's not even my favorite laundry scent from Front Porch!
To me, this smells like some sort of topical cream you might find in a Walgreens. Or something from a hospital. Well, the "laundry" part, anyways. Is it weird that it smelled a little yeasty? Despite this description, it's not bad, but it's not that good, either. It was strong, though, so does that count for something? I think the pink sugar is what saves this from being downright awful. I probably let this go on for too long at about 4 hours, but I'm sure it would have thrown like a champ for many more.
Needless to say, I wouldn't repurchase this.

~~~~~~~~~~
Front Porch's Pink Laundry Sheets
Cold Rating: 5/10; none of what I smell while warming (medicated cream, yeastiness, Walgreens) are there on cold sniff. It just smells like a stranger laundry scent with small hints of pink sugar.
Lit Rating: 3/10; nope.
Throw Rating: 8/10; strong throw, if only this scent was actually good!
Overall Rating: 5/10; not a fan of this. Needing laundry day revamping. Cannot discount this scent's strength but still slightly rounded down. Stupid leaking pipe connected to washer. Water damage. WASHER TOO FAR. Walgreens smells funky. Go on, girl.

Review: Front Porch's Pink Sugar Marshmallow

Every wax addict has their favorite vendors and their favorite scents, as well as their favorite scents from specific vendors. I am no exception.
...one of my all-time favorites just happens to be Pink Sugar Marshmallow from Front Porch.
It's so, so amazing.
If you're a fan of pink sugar, this is a must-try. It mixes so perfectly with Front Porch's already stellar marshmallow scent that it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. If I could, I would buy pounds of this scent. It's second only to Pink Peppermint.
As far as the cold sniff scent goes, it's a nice mix, but heavier on the marshmallow. If it doesn't smell that appealing on cold sniff, wait until it warms up, it does get stronger and better and more well-rounded! Its lasting power knows no end, I've had a couple of these tarts last me upwards of 2 days.

This scent continues to surprise and impress me each time I melt it.

~~~~~~~~~~
Front Porch's Pink Sugar Marshmallow
Cold Rating: 7.5/10; the cold sniff isn't exactly the strongest scent I've smelled, but it is in no way, shape or form weak. You get more marshmallow on cold sniff with smaller whiffs of pink sugar (although, some will say that they can't smell FP's pink sugar scent because it's not strong enough).
Lit Rating: 10/10; basically perfection! As I've mentioned, these two scents go together so well, like peanut butter and jelly. Great throw, you get each note individually, really perfect!
Throw Rating: 8.5/10; not weak by any stretch of the imagination, but not blow you away strong all the time. Reeeeeally great!
Overall Rating: 10/10; another "numbers be damned" scent since it's one of my favorites (I am of the opinion that your favs don't have to be punch you in the face strong on cold or warm throw for you to love them). Perfect mix of pink and marshmallow when warmed. Lasting power is always a plus. Needing this in bulk!

Lightning Round Reviews #12, Front Porch Edition!

Decided to do a Front Porch style lighting round reviews because I have been on a FP kick lately. Schwoot!

Also, Sunnee, have fun on your trip! :)
Front Porch's Cactus & Sea Salt
Cold Rating: 10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; a fabulous spa/clean/fresh scent! FP makes a brilliant version of this scent, and it's insanely strong. It's also a bit saltier than other versions. Nonetheless, awesome, always repurchase! Lasts long, too!
Front Porch's 14-Karrot Cake
Cold Rating: 1/10
Lit Rating: 1/10
Throw Rating: --/10
Overall Rating: 1/10; I cannot give an accurate assessment of this because it was so ridiculously disgusting that I dumped it BEFORE it was done melting. I can't get the smell out of my nose. It's like...moldy, out of date cream cheese, rotten carrots, and buttery cake mixed in one. OMG. Sorry, Angie, this is not my favorite scent, obviously. Ew. Needless to say, not a repurchase.
Front Porch's Coconut Lime
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 5.5/10; something about the mixture of FP's lime and coconut wasn't pleasant. There was a weird undertone to is and the longer it melted, the stronger that note got. Ick. Not a fan, not a repurchase. Also, strong throw, though.
Front Porch's Cotton Candy Cookies
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; melted this in the office and it threw like a madman. Awesome scent, you really get both the cookies and the cotton candy, and they go together very well! Love! Repurch for sure.
Front Porch's Pink Porch
Cold Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; pink sugar plus floral linens, methinks? This is decent, but nothing special. Medium throw in the bedroom. Might repurchase to compare. I think this one was old.
Front Porch's Pumpkins & Apples (favorite, re-smell)
Cold Rating: 10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 9.5/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; INSANE THROW. This blend you can actually smell the pumpkin AND apples. This is an awesome scent, but you need to be prepared for apple city. I love it, it might not be for everyone! Repurch!
Front Porch's Serendipity Laundry
Cold Rating: 8.5/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; it seems weird to combine serendipity and laundry, but this scent is really awesome! It's strong, it's linen, and you also get serendipity sweetness. It's a trip! Possible repurchase.
Front Porch's Celtic Moonspice
Cold Rating: 10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; I could write novels about this scent. It's so, so good. Homey, spicy, not quite bakery, just a brilliant spicy, enveloping amazing scent. I LOVE IT. Strong, repurch, the whole 9...well, the whole 10! LOL! :)
Front Porch's Lemon Bliss Serendipity Cookies
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; decent scent, but an odd combination. Lemon, serendipity, and cookies? This is nic, medium strength, possible repurchase.
Front Porch's Sweet Pomegranate Crisp
Cold Rating: 3/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; not my favorite. Overly sweet, not very pomegranate-y. It is pretty strong though, which is good, but the scent is not good.
Front Porch's Citrus Serendipity
Cold Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; another strange but good blend. The citrus overpowers the serendipity, and it's a bit cloying. Medium throw and decent scent. Possible repurch?
Front Porch's Strawberry Cotton Candy
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; strawberry and cotton candy really work well together! I love this scent, it's so great. Very strong, excellent throw and smell in general. Sweet. Repurchase!
Front Porch's Serendipity Ice Cream
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; so creamy! I really like this blend. Decent throw, could be stronger, but very lovely. Luscious smelling. Uber creamy serendipity. Repurchase!

Time for tons of lightning round reviews, waxy friends!
Candles from the Keeping Room's Palm Beach
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 5/10

Front Porch's Bear Claws
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; a nice cinnamon bakery scent that manages to not have that weird FP undertone I hate so much. This is nice and I would repurchase it. Lasted for 6 hours!
Front Porch's Celtic Moonspice Noel
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 8.5/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; celtic moonspice is one of my all time favorite scents, and when it's added with vanilla bean noel, it's just as fabulous. Wonderful scent, great throw, would repurchase always, lasted 7 hours.
Lasting Scent Candles Blackberry Sage Tea
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 5/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; the throw was pretty good, and the cold sniff scent was strong, but the sage in this was not my favorite. I love LSC's tea scent, but the floral blackberry and sage notes didn't mesh together. Lasted 2 hours but would have lasted longer if I hadn't gotten tired of it. PS: LOOK AT THOSE OILS, OMG.
Lil' Kitchen Candles Serendipity
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 5.5/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; better on cold throw, surprisingly. A decent serendipity, but nothing to write home about, I suppose. Lasted 3 hours before I needed a change. PS: this shop is now closed.
Lil' Kitchen Candles Twinkies
Cold Rating: 4/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; very light, but sweet. Decent twinkies scent, but nothing special. Lasted 2.5 hours.
Lil' Kitchen Candles Lemon Lush Noel
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; weird cleaner lemon mixed with a pie crust type of scent. It was okay, not my favorite though. Strange is all. Lasted 4 hours.
Lil' Kitchen Candles Pink Serendipity Vanilla Bean Noel Marshmallow Birthday Cake
Cold Rating: 8.5/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; amaaaaaaazing blend. This scent alone makes me with LKC was still in business. Lasted 7+ hours, sad I cannot repurchase this. Coconut cherry cakey creamy wonderment.
Scarlet Raine's Tropical Escape
Cold Rating: 4/10
Lit Rating: 4.5/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; this scent was rather boring and not particularly strong. I haven't been impressed from this company yet, unfortunately.
Scarlet Raine's Pink Marshmallow
Cold Rating: 2/10
Lit Rating: 2/10
Throw Rating: 2/10
Overall Rating: 2/10; I got nothing from this, there was a veeeeeery small bit on cold sniff, but nothing while warming.  Disappointed.
Scarlet Raine's Pink Peppermint
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 5.5/10
Overall Rating: 5.5/10; a nice pink peppermint, just not super strong. This is the best thing I have melted from this company thus far, but it's still not that high above medium.
Sniff My Tarts Pink Chiffon Pink Sugar
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; amaaaaazing. I love this scent. Pink Chiffon is a perfume dupe, and when it's mixed with pink sugar, I just loved it. Strong throw in the bedroom. Wonderful, lasted 5.5 hours, definite repurch.
Sweet Fixations Bergamot & Coriander
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; a nice cinnamon bakery scent that manages to not have that weird FP undertone I hate so much. This is nice and I would repurchase it. Lasted for 6 hours!
The Scented Princess' Green Apple Explosion Serendipity
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; awesome, unexpected blend! Green apple and coconut/cherry seem to go together well in this blend. Plus, Dawn's serendipity isn't too in-your-face as others can be. Lasted 6 hours, would and have repurchased.
The Scented Princess' Serendipity Cotton Candy Pink Sugar
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 8.5/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; I made this blend and it's fan-freakin-tastic! So, so good. Great throw, even better smell. Lasted 7+ hours both times, I would definitely buy this in scoopable.
The Scented Princess' Granny's Pie Crust
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; I think I've mentioned before that I am not a fan of crusty scents, like lemon meringue pie, key lime pie, etc. Granny's pie crust is the only form of crust I enjoy, and this was nice. Vanilla-y, luscious, not overly buttery. Nice! Lasted 4 hours, would repurchase.

I've got a ton more empties I am trying to put together in a post, so look out for that, as well as a destash soon! :)

ALSO, I am in the process of going through old posts and adding ratings to my labels/tags, so you can look through and find what I loved and what I hated. :)

Lightning Round Reviews #8, Bedroom Edition!

So, I have a full box of empties from bedroom melts. I am going to give you a quick look at some of them today! :)
Streetman Candle Company's Pink Flamingo
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; I sort of went Streetman Snap Stick crazy a few weeks ago, and Pink Flamingo was a nice, juicy drink scent, very sweet with a decent throw. Possibly a bit of floral in this? I liked it a lot!
Streetman Candle Company's Pink Pomegranate
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 5.5/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; a bit weaker than it's counterpart above, but it was nice. Another fruity scent, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick Pink Flamingo.
Streetman Candle Company's Honolulu Hula
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; this scent was nothing amazing! Tropical, bright, strong, very "for summer!" Loved it, I hope Heather still has this available on her site!
Streetman Candle Company's Love Potion No. 7
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 9/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; brilliantly execused perfumey scent with much more depth and many more notes. Loved this! Insane throw.
Streetman Candle Company's Spring Meadow
Cold Rating: 9/10
Lit Rating: 9/10
Throw Rating: 9/10
Overall Rating: 9/10; another fantastic scent, but I don't think Heather carries this anymore. It's so green, so lush, you actually feel like you're in a field of flowers and greenery. Amazing, strong, great!
Streetman Candle Company's Green Apple Hard Rock
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 8.5/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; the best green apple scent I have smelled in wax. Very strong. Not overpowering, just bright and fresh. Sweet, but not overly so. Lovely!
The Bathing Garden's Pink Bunny Ears
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 8.5/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; red velvet cake on the bottom, serendipity on the top, these two scents don't sound like they'd go good together, but they do! Medium-high strength, I would have liked a little more...something. But good!
The Scented Princess' Birthday Cake Serendipity Toasted Marshmallow
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; if there's toasted marshmallow in this, I don't get much of it, but Dawn's birthday cake and her serendipity go well together Could have been a bit stronger.
Tiffany Candles Pink Grapefruit
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; bright, fruity, fun! Loved this so much I repurchased it in heart tarts. Perfect for guests who love citrus smells!
Candles from the Keeping Room's Pink Grapefruit
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; a skosh less strong that the Tiffany's counterpart, but still nice. I was on a grapefruit kick this summer!

Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; another fantastic scent, but I don't think Heather carries this anymore. It's so green, so lush, you actually feel like you're in a field of flowers and greenery. Amazing, strong, great!

Candles from the Keeping Room's Cocomilk
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; the milk here is straight from a coconut, not like her "sugar milk" scent. Very nice, but not super strong, nice when paired with her coconut scent! MOON MAN!!
IHeartWax's Serendipity
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; super strong serendipity, I used the whole cookie because I didn't want to cut it, it was heavier on the coconut, but still nice.
Sniff My Tarts Mystery Chunks (lavender + cakey something??)
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; SMT's lavender can be cloying and sometimes grating. The pink isn't pink sugar, if it is, it's not strong, but there's definitely a cake note in this. Ehh, glad these are gone.
