Weekly Wax Wrap Up: 2/5/17-2/12/17

This is kind of weird time for scents for me. I don't even touch any fall or winter scents even though it is still winter. I'm so over them. I tend to transition into more general, spring, and summer scents January-September which takes up most of the year. The challenge is finding new scents to try because the same scents over and over get boring. That's one of the reasons why I took a wax break so I could restock! I have some new things to try and share with you now. My wax funk is over.

ScentSationals Melon Burst
Scent Description: Juicy honeydew and succulent cantaloupe
My Thoughts: I love melons scents especially honeydew and cantaloupe ones. This one is really nice and true life. I did find that it got really sweet and cloying when melted after awhile. I  don't usually feel this way about melon scents, but this one needed perhaps a water note or air note to mellow it out a bit.

Ten Digit Creations Baja Cactus Blossom
Scent Description: white flowers, green cactus, sun-kissed coconut
My Thoughts: This scent is an absolute winner. It's a great blend of a soft floral, green watery cactus note, and just the slightest touch of fresh coconut (not sunscreen-smelling or synthetic). This scent does have an upscale/spa-like quality to it as well which is probably why I like it so much. I'll be needing more this scent for sure.

Scentsy Pacific Daydream
Scent Description: Beachy lime, pineapple, and sweet candy sugar are sprinkled with fresh Hawaiian sea salt for a scent straight from the shoreline.
My Thoughts: Based on the scent description I thought this was going to be overpoweringly fruit and sugary, but it's not. It's really a soft ocean sea salt scent with subtle hints of lime, sugar, and pineapple in the background. This is another winning scent for me. It's fresh and natural and really does remind me of the beach in a non-stereotypical way.

Ten Digit Creations Honeysuckle Lemon
Scent Description: fragrant honeysuckle blossoms drenched in zesty lemon juice
My Thoughts: I love the smell of honeysuckle, but I was hesitant to try this one because of the lemon. Most lemon scents go into Lemonhead candy range for me which is just too sweet for my tastes. I was worried that honeysuckle already being a sweet flower and lemon would just end up being too sweet. Thankfully, I was proven wrong again. This is a great blend and the lemon in here is tangy and zesty like the description. The honeysuckle and lemon balance each other out here perfectly and it leaves you with a very clean and natural scent. We have yet another winning scent!

Weekly Wax Wrap Up: 12/4/16-12/11/16

It's been a pretty good wax week especially considering last week wasn't so great. I'm starting to panic now because I was trying to hold off on burning too many holiday waxes so I wouldn't get burned out, but Christmas is in 2 weeks and I still have plenty I haven't reviewed! I need to get my wax booty in gear!

Scentsy World Traveler
Scent Description: Blackberry, dark pomegranate, and oak bark.
My Thoughts: I love scents like these! This is a very elegant and upscale blend of tart berries and woodsy notes. It's a very sophisticated scent. It smells like a famous old library or something. I know that's a terrible description, but that's what it makes me think of most. My only complaint is that the throw isn't very strong which is unfortunate.

Ten Digit Creations Holiday (Ralph Lauren Type)
Scent Description: blend of rich and sparkling fruit notes combine with fir, cedar, juniper and pine to create a sophisticated holiday scent
My Thoughts: I don't know the Ralph Lauren fragrance so I can't compare, but what this does remind of is Bath & Body Work's Winter. This is a citrus and smoky outdoorsy scent. It's fresh scent while still being cozy. I really enjoyed it. This also had a great throw.

Better Homes & Gardens First Winter Blizzard
Scent Description: Crushed peppermint leaf, smoked birch wood, fragrant pine and emerald holly leaf glisten with an icy, ozone freshness touched by mistletoe greens
My Thoughts: This scent is so unique and I love it! This has a fresh soapy scent to it, but with this icy and air coolness thrown in there. I'm not sure I'm detecting mint per say, but definitely something that brightens and cools this scent. It's really hard to describe because it's so unique. I don't own anything remotely close to this scent. The throw could be a smidge stronger, but I love it otherwise.

Butterfly Lane Appalachian Winter
Scent Description: Top notes of bergamot, orange, and lemon. Base notes of patchouli, vetiver, and tonka beans. This is a very unique outdoorsy scent.
My Thoughts: This was gifted to me by my friend Julie over at The Redolent Mermaid. This is another unique scent, but it has some familiarity to it as well. I'd call it a winter airy floral scent. The patchouli is strong in this which is where the familiarity comes from, but the other notes make it unique. I love the added notes of citrus and there is something else in there that brightens and freshens this scent up. Another great one!
