All About Spring
Notes: The vibrant freshness of new Spring leaves, soft daisy and blue hyacinth spun with sun lily, sweet rose and sweet muguet
On cold sniff this smells like lovely hothouse lilies with a bit of a rubbing alcohol note. As I expected, when melted, the alcohol note disappeared completely and thankfully all that was left was the authentic hothouse type floral note, like lily or tulip petals with a green note. It's not a perfumey scent at all, or even overly sweet. I really like it.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Blueberry Bundt Cake
A lot of people don't like this scent, and on cold sniff I can understand why. On cold sniff it smells like fake blueberry flavored buttered popcorn, and it's nauseatingly sweet and buttery. However, when melted it smelled much better, more like a rich buttered blueberry muffin type scent with a brown sugar. Still not authentic, and still extremely rich and sweet, but quite nice.
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
Orange Blossom Oak
This is a very pleasant scent, like something you can have melting in the background that won't annoy anyone. It does smell a little like orange blossom/neroli, and although it's sweet, it's not as sweet and rich as true neroli. It has a beachy vibe, with a Coppertone suntan oil note, and maybe a smidgen of a light wood note in the background. It smells a little bit like a sweeter, richer, more beachy ScentSationals Himalayan Pink Salt but without the shaving cream note. And the scent lasted the entire day. I love this one!
Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5
Pear Blossom Tea
Notes: Crisp greens and sparkling lemon that trails into a fruity heart of pear blossom and fresh apples. Sugared musk and vanilla bean compose a tantalizing base.
On cold sniff this is pretty much what it says in the scent name. The perfumey floral note is in the forefront, and then equal notes of pear and green tea. Maybe also a hint of amber for warmth and richness. When melted, however, it's a sweet syrupy pear scent with a bit of a rich warm perfumey note, and I only smell a hint of the green tea. Looking at the notes, I don't detect lemon. It's a fantastic scent. It reminds me a little bit of last year's Better Homes & Garden's Georgia Peach Tea.
Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5
Pure Tropical Sunshine
This is not a tropical scent. I can't figure out the notes, but it's a little lemony with a hint of coconut and maybe warm amber, and possibly a smidgen of perfume. But it's not a perfumey or very sweet scent. When melted, it smells like celery with a slightly sweet lemon note. I'm on the fence about this scent.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
Stormy Indigo Seas
Notes: Fresh nuances of bright citrus bergamot and lemon balance leafy greens and wild grown herbs touched by aromatic florals, warm sage leaf, earthy patchouli, musk, and mahogany woods
This is a fresh men's body wash scent with a slight peppery note. I've smelled it before, so it's probably a dupe of an older scent. It smells a bit like the old ScentSationals Rebel and ScentSationals Crimson scents, but fresher. Although it smells like a lot of other similar type scents, I like it.
Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5
