Used up stuff #3



Rose Girls
Serendipity, Florida Key Lime Pie and Waffle Cone
This was nice, light to medium scent throw, with this one I got a creamy lime scent, it almost smelt like ice cream, i did love that creamy note. (24w hot plate)

Front Porch
Lemon Lavender
This gave a light scent throw, you could smell the lemon at first with a little of the sweet lavender as time went on  you got more lavender. Was not impressed would not repurchase. (Partylite Warmer)

Pink Fuzzy Navel
Sweet citrus scent, light throw light scent, it was nice - nothing special will not repurchase. (Partylite Warmer)


Truley Yours
Wildberry Smoothie
This smelled delicious cold, warming it had no scent throw unless you were hovering right over the warmer. Will not purchase, got this in a destash not planning a purchase from this vender, if I get something else in a RR that throws wonderful might reconsider. (24w hot plate)


The Bathing Garden
Lemon Cheesecake
The first two cubes were melted in a Partylite warmer  light scent throw - very disappointed, same thing happened with the 2nd two cubes. This was annoying because the previous clam-shell I had in this was strong and yummy, then I remembered I had melted it in my 24w hot plate - so I put the last 2 in there and I got a medium scent throw - still not as strong as I remembered but much better than the first two tries. I got a sweet lemony cheesecake scent. This was delicious, makes me want some cheesecake to eat. Will repurchase.

Better Homes and Garden
Frosty Peppermint Snow
Yummy! I love peppermint anytime of year and it is a great scent to have melting at night.
This was very strong peppermint with a slight sweetness. Strong throw - lasted about six hours. Already repurchased, (24w hot plate)

Candles By Victoria
Nut House
This was strong like most of  CBV scent shots, the almond was overwhelming, followed by light notes of something creamy and a little floral, if you took a deep breath felt like you were tasting the tart. Not too fond of almond scents so will not repurchase, however, if you like almonds then this is the one for you it is strong and lasted for two days (24w hot plate)

Victoria Designer Creations
Pineapple Colada
This was awesome, it was blended beautifully, a great mix of milky coconut and pineapple, Medim to strong scent throw and already repurchased. (24w hot plate)

Bare Necessities
If you love citrus, this is a must buy, it is so good - a nice mixture of oranges and lemon with other stuff my nose cannot identify. Strong throw - already repurchased as part of a layered loaf. (24w hot plate)




Tiffany Candles

Ultimate Donut 
This was in the old wax, put in 2 scalloped tarts, these were strong, lasted more than 12 hours, at first you get a light cinnamon with a medium donut note, after 8 hours the donut note fades away leaving a medium cinnamon scent. Go figure lol, will not re-buy cinnamon is too strong. (Partylite Warmer)


Sinus Relief
I love this scent but it gives me no sinus relief, it tickles my nose to much when I have sinus problems and I it is very light on the spearmint and peppermint. I like to melt this before bed - it is more of a spa scent with a hint of floral - at least to my nose. Will repurchase this eventually but not any time soon as I have a 16oz unused candle in this scent. (24w hot plate)

Donut Shop
Trying to use up some of my older Tiffany's - I put three of the little ring donuts in the warmer and got a light scent throw :(. Smells of cinnamon and a nice bakery scent, I will repurchase because the first two donuts I melted I remember being stronger - so I will give it one more try. (Partylite Warmer)

Berrylicious
So divine, medium throw of berries and a little citrus I think. I'm debating whether to reorder this or Bury Me Alive in a scoopable. (Partylite Warmer)

Butterscotch Drizzle
This was not good - had a very strong buttery scent and was missing the caramel aspect. My sister said it smells like mac & cheese when melted lol. Will not repurchase. (24w hot plate)

Snickerdoodle
I liked this which was unexpected because I'm not a big fan of cinnamon  it was a nice sweet and spicy bakery scent which I enjoyed. Medium to strong scent throw and might repurchase. (24w hot plate)

Gooey Donut Shop
This is a combination of donut shop and toasted marshmallow. It okay - the marshmallows lightens the donut scent, not that impressed. Will not repurchase though it had a medium throw and lasted at least 6 hours

Sweet Fixations
Summer Nights
As with most SF smells awesome on cold, when melted got a light tropical scent - could not describe it because it was so light, now and then you'd get a whiff of something pleasant. Not a re-buy. (Partylite Warmer)


Candles From The Keeping Room
Sugar Cookie Noel
Light to medium scent throw but that was okay. Didn't expect to like it but it was a nice bakery scent- not overpowering I would like to melt this if I am having visitors over - the scent was soft and savory, much better than baking cookies to get a nice aroma. Putting it on my likes for cftkr reorder list. (Partylite warmer)

Used up stuff #2


Front Porch
Angie's Famous Cupcakes
This was your typical cupcake scent, nothing special, at least for my nose. medium throw. Will not repurchase I much prefer the cupcake from Scentsationals. (40w light bulb)

Pink Cupcakes
Nice blend of a cake scent with a hint of pink, FP pink was not very overwhelming, so you get a sweet cake scent, not impressed. Medium throw will not repurchase. (Partylite Warmer )

Sweet Fixations
Strawberry Lemonade Cake
On cold throw this smelt nice a yummy strawberry cake with something a little extra, when warmed it was so disgusting, it smelt like cake batter that was off like rotten eggs or sour milk yet the strawberry was yummy. Medium scent throw. Will not be reordering this scent. (Partylite Warmer)

Tiffany Candles
Pina Colada
I love this scent, yummy pineapple, creamy coconut, light to medium scent throw. Not sure I will re-buy though - it is not a favourite from this vendor. (Partylite warmer)

Rose Girl
Pink Sugared Grapefruit
On cold throw I got a strong tangy grapefruit scent, when melted this scent was nicely blended with the pink sugar, the pink wasn't perfumey,  it was more of a ruby red grapefruit juice scent, it is soo good Medium throw and lasting scent. I will be reordering this blend. (Partylite Warmer)

Wax Worx
Citrus Splash
This was so very good. Nice citrus, strong orange scent with a hint of pineapple, loved it. Strong scent throw. Got this in a RR, never heard of this company before that. (24w hot plate)

The Scented Princess
Fruit Salad
This was a good fruit scent got some grape and a little orange, nothing notable, medium throw and enjoyable but not a stand out. It is good to have on hand when you want something fruity but not sure what to pick. (24w hot plate)

Gracie Jo's Candle 
Narcisse
This was a tiny yellow tart, light scent throw, smelled vaguely perfumey with a hint of powder. Reminded me of something my grandmother would wear to church. Acquired in a RR will not purchase. (18w hot plate)



Bath and Body Works
Cranberry Pear Bellini
I usually place these tiny candles on a hot plate while it is lit, got a light scent throw, - could not identify what it was - would not recommend purchasing these little ones.

Apple Crumble
No scent throw at all, would not recommend this size.

CrossCreek Country Candles
Pink Guava
Medium scent throw, I am okay with that because I love this scent, not a huge fan of pink but love love guava, juicy and tart with a hint of sweetness from the pink equals yummy. (Partylite Warmer)

Blue Hawaiian
I get coconut and cherry from this combination, reminds me of serendipity with a hint of something else. That something is a little bitter but it works smelled good. Medium scent throw. (Partylite Warmer)

Haley's Heavenly Scent
Honeysuckle
What can I say, this sucker was strong, smelled perfumey with a mix of floral. I liked it, may repurchase. (24w hot plate)

Granmas Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies
This is not pictured because I sent it away in a RR I had a six pack - melted one tart - it was disgusting all I could smell was zucchini. I ordered this because I liked Granmas Fruity Loops and it seemed very popular on the boards. Very strong throw - lasted long, smelt ewwie. Will not repurchase (24w hot plate)

Victoria Designer Creations
Pink Sugared Toasted Marshmallow
This isn't pictured either because I got a slice of a loaf in a destash and melted it all at once and threw away the packaging because it was all waxy and icky. The scent however was heavenly. I am not a fan of pink but I must admit I do love VDC pink and I could smell the marshmallows, so many times I order marshmallow and can barely get a whiff. This had a medium to strong scent throw and lasted quite a while. May order a cookie or some tarts in this scent but not a whole loaf. (Partylite Warmer)

Aunt Nenas
Tropical Horizon
Cold throw smelled nice and tropical, when put in the warmer got no scent throw, even with my nose close up to the warmer. (24w hot plate)
