Dulce de Leche (3): This is a nice sweet scent. It's almost like caramel, but not near as heavy. The scent throw is about medium.

Day 334 - Christmas Kitchen


Currently Burning: Christmas Kitchen

Now onto the daily review!


Christmas Kitchen (5): Christmas Kitchen is one of my favorite Christmas scents. It's a mix of cinnamon, orange, and pumpkin. I really like how the spicy orange combines with the pumpkin. I like how this one is good for early on in the Christmas season since it's almost like a Fall/Christmas transition scent.

Day 333 - Yuletide


Currently Burning: Yuletide

Now onto the daily review!


Yuletide (3): This is a combination of cedar and orange. It's mostly cedar, but it's a very toned down version of cedar. Not my favorite, but it is a nice woodsy scent if you're into those.

Day 331 - Sleigh Bells


Currently Burning: Sleigh Bells

Now onto the daily review!


Sleigh Bells (2): This one is ridiculously strong and unfortunately is not one that I particularly care for. It's a mix of Cherry Almond and Peppermint. Super strong on the cherry and peppermint notes. It smells a lot like Cherry Candy Cane except the cherry is stronger in Sleigh Bells and the peppermint is stronger in Cherry Candy Cane.

Day 330 - Amish Quilt


Currently Burning: Amish Quilt

Now onto the daily review!


Amish Quilt (3): This is a very spicy fragrance. It also has a sweet bakery note to it that helps to tone it down, but if you're not a fan of spice then stay away from this one! It's a slightly more mellow version of Patch Work Quilt.

Christmas Buttered Rum (4): This is a very nice buttery scent. Not too overpowering but just right. It also has a slight sweetness from the rum that rounds it out nicely.

Day 328 - Christmas Cabernet


Currently Burning: Christmas Cabernet

Now onto the daily review!


Christmas Cabernet (4): This is supposed to smell like strawberry and grape wine. I would say that's a pretty accurate description. This is much nicer than just plain Cabernet because it has the strawberry wine as well. I do get a lot of that fake grape smell too so it's not a favorite.

Pecan Pie (5): Seriously amazing! I can't believe I waited as long as I did to order this one. It smells just like pecan pie. Perfect amount of nuttiness blended with a caramelized filling and pie crust. Divine!

Zucchini Pumpkin Bread (4): This is a really nice blend of zucchini bread and pumpkin. It's a nice spicy pumpkin. I'm really liking zucchini bread as a blend but not really by itself.

Cookies for Santa (4): This is a very nice sugar cookie scent. However, it also has just a touch of cinnamon. It's sort of a halfway point between snickerdoodles and sugar cookies but it's amazing!

Under the Big Top (3): This is a combination of Cotton Candy, Fresh Picked Strawberries, and Caramelized Pralines. This is ok, but I don't really like how the strawberry and salty caramel mix.

Day 322 - Caramel Nut Cluster


Currently Burning: Caramel Nut Cluster

Caramel Nut Cluster (3): This smells VERY similar to Caramelized Pralines. However, I think this one might be just a hair sweeter and not quite as strong. It's nice, but I'm not really a fan of nutty scents or super sweet caramel.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake (3): This is a nice pineapple with a touch of cherry and a slight bakery background. I really wish that the bakery note was much stronger and more buttery because it doesn't scream Pineapple Upside Down Cake to me.

Lemon Pound Cake (4): This is a very nice lemon bakery scent. It's not as buttery or sweet as Singapore Sling, but it's great in it's own right. It's sort of a halfway point between Lemon Meringue Pie and Singapore Sling.

Pumpkin Pie Spice (5): I've had this candle for about a year and I forgot how much I liked this one! I got this in candle form without ever trying the scent shot and it is a wonderful spicy pumpkin scent. Very similar to actual pumpkin pie without the creaminess.

Golden Cadillac (3): This almost smells like a golden syrup. It's SUPER sweet so if you don't like sweet scents then steer clear. It's in the Top Shelf line too so it's only available as a scent shot or in the black label candles.
