Project Wax #2, Update #4!

Hi all! Happy weekend! I did a lot of melting this week, and it's getting close to the Rosegirls opening. Any of you plotting orders? Here's an update on my Project Wax box!

Crabby Candle Co.'s Pink Dunes: 9/10, INCREDIBLE dupe for Pink Sands from Yankee Candle! WOW! The strength of this was unbelievable, it traveled throughout the house! Loved it!

Tara's Candle Cottage's Vanilla Bean Noel: 8/10, very strong, great dupe, more caramelly notes than some, which is surprising because VBN is already caramelly! Would repurchase!

Can-Do-Candles Apple Cinnamon: 7/10, great strength, the apple was a bit more floral than other apple cinnamon tarts I have tried, but the cinnamon note was good, so they balanced each other out quite nicely. Apple was more prominent that cinnamon, though.

Rosegirls Hazelnut Macadamia Cappuccino: 3/10, unfortunately, there was no cappuccino in this, and there was also hardly any throw, unless you stood right on top of the tart. It pretty much smelled like nuts. Bleccchh, not my favorite blend anyways, but the weakness sent me over the edge.

Haley's Heavenly Scents Raspberry Zinger: 7.5/10, nice scent, a bit more buttery than I would have liked, perhaps from the coconut note in this, but overall awesome scent. I liked it, and it did smell like a zinger. YUM! Look, it matches the wall!

Lasting Scents Candles Vanilla Ice Cream Cone: 6.5/10, this is basically what Coldstone smells like inside, delicious waffle cones and sweet vanilla creaminess. The throw could have been better, IMO, but nice scent.

JLCCW's Pink Sugar Serendipity + Sniff My Tart's Sweet Lavender Marshmallow Cake Serendipity Marshmallow Smoothie: 6/10. WHAT A TONGUE TWISTER. Alone, the JLCCW scent is a 7.5/10, and the SMT scent is a 6/10. Together, I didn't like them. Too sweet, hardly any lavender, and the cake note was not my favorite. Meh.

Rosegirls Invigorating Lavender Peppermint: 8.5+/10, finished the bag! Amazing throw, super nice mix between herbal lavender and potent peppermint, perfect for nighttime melting, just wonderful. Will always repurchase.

The Scented Princess' Sweet Diamond Rose: 8.5/10, AMAZING blend of pink sugar, cotton candy, and sweet tooth! Very strong on the cotton candy front, sweet tooth makes this extra indulgent. LOVE!!

Candles from the Keeping Room's Country Chic (type): 7.875/10, I couldn't decide between 7.5 and 8/10. This was a great dupe, and I think I am liking perfumey scents the older I get. This was nice, slightly floral.

Heavenleigh Apothecary's Lemon Poppy, Wildberry Mousse, Vanilla Bean Noel: 5.5/10, something was very astringent in this and turned me off scent wise. Not a fan, but it was creamy. Meh.

Haley's Heavenly Scents Candy Cane Noel: 5.5/10, I melted this a different day than the scent above, but got that same astringent smell from it. It was okay, but something about the combination of these scents wasn't nice.

Sweet Fixations Serendipity Cake: 6/10, almost no cherry, mainly coconut and cake, but I liked it! Medium high strength, just sweet enough for me.

Tara's Candle Cottage's Iced Cinnamon Rolls: 3.5/10, slight iced smell, but mainly just an unpleasant cinnamon type of scent. Not a fan.

Tiffany Candles Melon Ball Fizz (an extra tart added after the photo was snapped): 7.5/10, amazing fruity summertime scent, LOVED this. Slight effervescence, but mainly a tropical type of melon-fruitiness.

Niki's Wax's Rainbow Mix: 7/10, medium high strength, this smells like skittles! I got this from Karen, and like it a lot. It looks pretty before melting, but melts to an icky brown color, LOL!

Lasting Scent Candles Lemon Scoop: 7/10, this smells like vanilla ice cream cone, but with lemon added. Super bakery, nice scent, very creamy and yet waffley at the same time.

JLCCW's Nana's Kitchen: 10/10, FABULOUS!! A cinnamon, nutmeg, cakey scent, but more than that...it's an amish quilt/celtic moonspice type of scent as far as spice is concerned, with hints of cake. Yum, yum, YUM!!

K's Kreations Alex's Rainbow: 9/10, ermahgerd, amazeballs! It smells like blue sherbet...LOVE this scent! You NEED to check this scent out if you like fruity scents This is also the scent Kathy, the owner of K's Kreations, named in honor of her son, who was taken from this earth all too soon.

Candles from the Keeping Room's Strawberry Noel: 9/10, such a great scent. I had perviously given this about a 6.5/10, but I am revising my rating because it's that good. Strong, great scent, very sweet...love!

The Bathing Garden's Cinnamon Frosting (finished clamshells): 5/10, I have reduced my original thoughts on this...something about it rubs me the wrong way. I don't care much for it, but some who like the buttercream notes more prominent the spicy notes will enjoy this.

Streetman Candle Co.'s Muscadine: 7/10, a really great grape scent! Josh picked this and the throw was a medium high, not an icky, medicinal grape, but a fresh, almost earthy one: sweet and tender. Nice!

Haley's Heavenly Scents Pink Peppermints (finished 6 pack): 7.5/10, a nice representation of the scent, medium-high strength in throw, cold and warm, heavier on the peppermint. Liked this a lot!

Sniff My Tarts Cookies & Cream: 4/10, a really cute Oreo shape, but unfortunately, though this was sweet, it had that artificial chocolate scent that I don't like. Melted this only 2 hours before I dumped it.
