Breezy Tulips

Notes: Top: Red Tulips, Fresh Flowers; Mid: Pink Raspberry, Soft Greens; Base: Red Berries, Sandalwood

This is a fantastic fruity floral that smells like sweet rich strawberries mixed with a sweet but authentic floral (hyacinth I think, as it has a bit of an Easter vibe). It smells a lot like a H.E.B. exclusive scent called ScentSationals Mountain Laurel (which is the same as an old Better Homes and Gardens scent called Honeysuckle Berry Bliss), and also similar to Better Homes and Gardens Sun washed Poppies (which is the same scent as an older Better Homes and Gardens scent called Sun-Kissed Tulips). But this scent is richer, sweeter, and slightly more strawberryish than those other scents (and I like this one the best). Looking at the notes, I'm surprised I don't see strawberries, but I guess it's the raspberry and "red berries" that I think are strawberries?

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

---

Bunny Cupcake

Notes: Top: Coconut, Strawberry, Lemon; Mid: Warm Honey, Soft Maple; Base: Vanilla Cake, Caramel Drizzle

This smells kind of like maple with a smidgen of orange or lemon, and maybe a little bit of vanilla and caramel, and something else in the background I can't figure out. Looking at the notes, they're spot on, although I don't smell strawberry. OK, the note I couldn't figure out is coconut, although I really don't smell coconut per se. It's quite nice, although it does have a smidgen of a "burnt" quality when melted.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

---

Jelly Beans

Notes: Top: Candied Blueberry, Crystal Sugar; Mid: Blue Raspberry, Soft Lemon; Base: Sugared Meringue, Fluffy Marshmallow

This scent does not smell like jelly beans to me, and that's perfectly okay, because jelly beans have a fake grapey fruity note. This scent smells like a super rich, zesty blackberry lemonade with a sweet, creamy, almost marshmallowy note. Looking at the notes, they're spot on, and I do smell a tiny bit of the blueberry. There was a ScentSationals scent called Blackberry Lemonade a few years ago, and although they're very similar, this scent is way better as the notes are stronger (especially the lemon) and richer. It's mouthwatering and absolutely fantastic!

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

---

Love Letters

Notes: Top: Rich Peonies, Jasmine; Mid: Spring Lily, Green Leaves; Base: White Sandalwood, White Woods

This smells like pink sugar, but it's not as sweet and perfumey, and it has a more fruity note that might include apple and/or peach in addition to the usual raspberry that pink sugar scents have, as well as a floral note. Looking at the notes, I'm way off; there are no fruity notes in this one! But I definitely do smell fruit that makes this smell kind of like a rich, sweet peach or apple blossom scent. Melted, I definitely smell more of the fruity note, kind of like strawberry, and it smells a bit similar to the Breezy Tulips scent. I love this one!

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

---

Splish Splash

Notes: Top: Fresh Pomelo, Mandarin; Mid: Exotic Mango, Passionfruit; Base: Coconut Water, Coastal Waters

This is a fresh watery scent with a bland cucumber or aloe note, which I normally wouldn't like, but there's something else in there that keeps it interesting, coconut I think, and maybe a hint of a sweet tropical fruit. It has a tiny bit of bitterness, but not enough to detract from the scent. Looking at the notes, they're spot on. I think I even smell a tiny bit of the mandarin (orange). It's a very fresh, thirst quenching scent, and I like it more than I thought I would!

Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5

---

Welcome Home

Notes: Top: Amber, Vanilla Woods; Mid: Bergamot, Creamy Peach; Base: Vanilla Orchid, Light Mocha Cream

I can't figure out what I'm smelling, but it's nice. It's kind of like a light men's cologne scent with a hint of jasmine and a smidgen of lemon and maybe another fruit like peach. There may be a barely detectable smidgen of patchouli or cedar way in the background. Looking at the notes, no patchouli or cedar, but it's probably the vanilla woods I'm detecting. I don't smell mocha at all.

Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5

This is a review of Goose Creek Candles wax melts Spring 2019 scents. As is usually the case with Goose Creek Candle scents, these are very nice!

Angel Food Cake

Notes:
Top: Angel Food Cake, Warm Vanilla Bean
Mid: Whipped Cream, Soft Pear
Base: Cream Cake, Warm Sugar

Fantastic scent, and a bit unusual. It smells like slightly burnt sugar (in a good way) and milky vanilla, with a toasted marshmallow note, a hint of caramel, and maybe a barely detectable smidgen of some kind of fruit. It's sweet and rich, but not cloyingly sweet. On cold sniff I thought it might have a perfumey note, but when melted it does not. Looking at the scent notes, the fruit I'm detecting is the pear, but it's barely noticeable.

Throw: Strong, 3.75 out of 5

---

Baby Powder

Notes:
Top: Lemon, Lavender, Powder
Mid: Baby Powder Essence
Base: Violet, Rose, Cedarwood

It's baby powder! And it's fantastic! It has another note in there though that differentiates it from baby powder slightly, a bit of a musky note. Looking at the notes, I don't detect lemon, lavender, violet, rose or cedar. Perhaps the rose ever so slightly.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

---

Island Bliss

Notes:
Top: Mandarin Orange, Amber, Sandalwood
Mid: Coconut Nectar, Kiwi Flower
Base: Soft Pear, Sandalwood

This is a fresh watery perfumey scent with a hint of lemon and possibly a smidgen of plum or a tropical fruit way in the background. Looking at the scent notes, the lemon I'm smelling is actually the orange, and the other fruit I guess is the pear. The tropical note must be the coconut. I don't smell sandalwood or any woodsy notes at all. It's quite nice!

Throw: Medium, 3 out of 5

---

Mahogany Driftwood

Notes:
Top: Lemon, Orange, Cardamom
Mid: Jasmine, Rosemary
Base: Mahogany, Teakwood, Driftwood

This is a men's cologne scent with woodsy, pine, and slightly smoky notes. On cold sniff, I smell more of the woodsy notes. But when melted, I smell more of the cologne note, although it's not an intense, sweet cologne scent. It's quite nice, kind of like ScentSationals Black Tux. Looking at the notes, I don't smell lemon or orange at all. The combination of rosemary and mahogany might be the pine I think I detect. And I guess the jasmine provides that hint of sweetness.

Throw: Strong, 3.75 out of 5

---

Sage Leaf & Citrus

Notes:
Top: Sage, Bright Citrus, Warm Leaves
Mid: Lavender, Geranium
Base: Patchouli, Powder, Musk

This smells like Sage & Citrus scents from other companies. Like other Sage & Citrus scents, I don't actually smell sage or citrus. Sage is a savory herb, and this is a slightly sweet scent, not savory. As for the citrus, perhaps a very sweet lemon? Although if I didn't know it's supposed to have a citrus note, I would not detect it. It's a nice, unique scent that smells a bit like an industrial cleaner, but not in a bad way at all. I like this Goose Creek version better than others I've smelled, as there seems to be a hint of something else way in the background that almost gives it a tiny bit of a foodie vibe. Looking at the notes, yes, I would definitely call this scent "bright", so I guess it IS citrus that I'm smelling. I don't detect lavender, but I think I do detect a hint of patchouli. And it's not a perfumey scent, so I don't smell musk.

Throw: Strong, 3.75 out of 5

---

Storm Front

Notes:
Top: Orange, Red Pineapple, White Peach
Mid: Crisp Apple, Jasmine, Lavender
Base: Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Amber

This is a lovely perfume scent with musky and slightly peppery notes, a hint of a sweet floral like gardenia, a touch of bergamot that gives it a little bit of a cologney note, and maybe a smidgen of creamy fruit and light wood. It smells great! The scent notes are pretty accurate, although I don't smell orange and pineapple per se, but there definitely is a fruit note in there somewhere.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Wind Blown Cotton

Notes:
Top: Soft Cotton, Fresh Air
Mid: Sun Rays, Spring Breeze
Base: Soft Sandalwood, Gentle Flowers

This is a laundry scent, but different from any others I've smelled. That's because it has barely any sweetness. It's not a harsh or soapy laundry detergent scent either, more like fabric softener but not powdery, floral or perfumey. It's quite pleasant. If you like laundry scents but they give you a headache, try this one! Looking at the notes, I don't smell sandalwood per se, but that might be what's keeping this scent from being too sweet.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Goose Creek Candle Wax Melts Reviews - Winter/Holiday 2018

These are the new Goose Creek Candles holiday wax melts scents for Winter 2018. Goose Creek Candle's website is https://goosecreekcandle.com. They're also on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/goosecreekcandle, as well as Instagram. I really like Goose Creek wax melts! The scents are high quality and the throw tends to be quite strong. Highly recommended!

No video for this review. YouTube keeps displaying it flipped upside down even though I took the video right side up! Trying to figure out what to do....

Dazzling Popcorn

Description: A delicious, dazzling treat. Buttery goodness fills the air!

Notes:
Top: Dazzling Popcorn, Buttery Vanilla
Mid: Vanilla Spice, Gourmand Notes
Base: Caramel, Soft Coconut, Apple

This smells a lot like the Spiced Caramel Corn side of Better Homes & Gardens At the Fair duo, and a lot like ScentSationals Pumpkin Apple Muffins, but it's not the exact same scent. This scent is slightly sweeter than the BHG scent (although it's really not a sweet scent). And like that scent, this is a salty popcorn scent with just a hint of caramel and maybe a barely detectable smidgen of apple. Looking at the notes, I don't smell coconut at all.

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

---

Eggnog Icing

Description: Christmas morning is here! Our unique egg nog icing recipe is perfect for the delicious Christmas cupcakes.

Notes:
Top: Honey, Cinnamon, Butter
Mid: Cream, Caramel, Soft Spice
Base: Vanilla Bean, Milk

This scent wasn't available when I got these from the Goose Creek website, but I found it at Gabe's store a few weeks later. It's so much better than I was anticipating! But it's not an eggnog scent... it's butter pecan, like sweet rich butter pecan ice cream. The nutty note is quite strong, so I'm surprised I don't see it in the scent notes (maybe the "Butter" in the notes is supposed to say "Butter Pecan"?). I don't really detect cinnamon. This is a scent to hoard!

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Frozen in Time

Description: Time is frozen as you explore a winter wonderland. Happy memories from your childhood live again.

Notes:
Top: Vanilla Peppermint
Mid: Frosted Grapefruit, Fruity Citrus Blend
Base: Frozen Snowdrops, Cashmere Woods

This scent wasn't available when I got these from the Goose Creek website, but I found it at Gabe's store a few weeks later. It's a fantastic minty/eucalyptus type scent with a hint of a smoky note (but it's not actually a "smoky" or woodsy scent). I don't detect any grapefruit or citrus. It's very similar to the beloved but discontinued Goose Creek Vanilla Wonderland, but with a little less sweetness and slightly more smoky mint. It's also very similar to the new ScentSationals Iridescent, but comparing them side by side... I just realized that Vanilla Wonderland and Iridescent smell almost exactly alike.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Gingerbread Lane

Description: It's Christmas Eve and the North Pole is loading up Santa's sleigh. Gingerbread Lane prepares for Santa's departure.

Notes:
Top: Gingerbread Crackers, Vanilla Icing
Mid: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Clove
Base: Light Coconut, Vanilla, Warm Sugar

This smells like a combination of apples, berries, and gingerbread. Like warm freshly baked gingerbread with a rich compote of sweet apples and red berries on top. It smells a bit like Better Homes & Gardens Farm Apple Pumpkin and Mainstays Apple Pumpkin, but with the gingerbread note. Fantastic scent! Looking at the notes, I can't believe I don't see any fruit, because apple is the main note I'm smelling.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

---

Marshmallow Fudge

Description: It's Christmas morning! Enjoy a delightful frothy hot cocoa with fluffy marshmallows on top.

Notes:
Top: Fluffy Marshmallows, Chocolate Fudge
Mid: Powdered Sugar, Vanilla Bean
Base: Chocolate Cream, Salted Butter

This smells like milk chocolate Cadbury cream eggs more than hot cocoa, with that super sweet rich marshmallow filling. It smells so yummy, I want to take a bite out of the wax!

Of course since this scent and Better Homes & Gardens Creamy Marshmallow Cocoa are coming out around the same time, I have to provide a comparison. The BHG scent is an authentic hot cocoa scent. It's a richer, fudgy, almost buttery cocoa (rather than just chocolate), with a sweet marshmallow note, and it's not as sweet as the Goose Creek scent. Neither chocolate scent has that bitter, burnt note that a lot of chocolate scents tend to have. I can't say one is better than the other, as they both smell fantastic to me; they're just different types of chocolate. Melted, however, I think I like the Goose Creek version better because it's sweeter.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Peppermint Whip

Description: Crushed peppermint blends in harmony with deliciously sweet vanilla whipped cream.

Notes:
Top: Sparkling Peppermint, Frozen Vanilla
Mid: Candy Cane Swirl, Candied Sugar
Base: Whipped Cream, Snowflakes

A fantastic peppermint scent with creamy vanilla. It's different from their Peppermint scent (which was much more pepperminty and smelled like peppermint hard candies) and Peppermint Snowflake (which was also a little more pepperminty but also had a creamy milky note, whereas the Peppermint Whip doesn't have that milky note). And it's a totally different scent from Vanilla Wonderland. It's definitely pepperminty, but a little softer than other peppermint scents I've smelled.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

---

Sparkling Woods

Description: A sparkling wonderland awaits as glistening snow drifts through the white winter woods.

Notes:
Top: Sparkling Bergamot, Black Pepper
Mid: Cool Snow Drift
Base: Light Woods

This scent wasn't available when I got these from the Goose Creek website, but I found it at Gabe's store a few weeks later. This scent was only available in candle format two years ago and I bought the 1.5 oz. Firefly candle and fell in love with this scent. So I'm very pleased that it finally came out in a wax melt! It's basically a combination of milky sandalwood and citrusy lemon, with a smidgen of a peppery note. It's not a sweet scent at all. It's fantastic. Looking at the notes, I'm surprised I don't see lemon. I don't detect bergamot which would give this a cologney note, although bergamot also can have a citrusy note. And I'm not sure what a "cool snow drift" smells like!

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Teakwood Merlot

Description: Barrel aged, Parisian merlot sets the mood for a truly magical evening.

Notes:
Top: Parisian Merlot, Black Wine Grapes
Mid: Wine Barrel, Cardamom, Rosemary
Base: Teakwood, Oakmoss, Mahogany

A fantastic men's cologne scent with a warm amber note, a hint of woodsiness, a smidgen of fruit (plum and grape) and maybe a tiny bit of leather. Looking at the scent notes, this scent is not as fruity as the notes suggest. I definitely smell the mahogany (which is the warm ambery wood note), but although I smell the fruit, it's not very noticeable, but it certainly enhances the scent. I really like this one!

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Welcome Frosty

Description: Frosty comes to life as magical snowflakes blow through a winter wonderland.

Notes:
Top: Vanilla Marshmallow, Buttercream Vanilla
Mid: Butter Cream, Soft Peach, Gentle Spice
Base: Soft Coconut, Vanilla, Sandalwood

I can't figure out the notes on this one, but I like it. I smell a super sweet sugary vanilla with a smidgen of cinnamon and perhaps a barely detectable caramel or rum, and a smidgen of a milky note. It has a bit of a cookie vibe, but it's not completely a bakery scent. Looking at the notes, I don't smell peach or coconut, but now I do detect a smidgen of fruit and possibly coconut way in the background that I probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't know it was in the notes. I really like this scent, and I love that not all of their holiday scents are the typical cinnamon, pine and pumpkin.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

These are the new Goose Creek Candles wax melts scents for Fall 2018. Goose Creek Candle's website is https://goosecreekcandle.com. I'm a fan of Goose Creek's wax melts. The scents are high quality and the throw tends to be quite strong. Highly recommended!

Autumn Leaf & Amber

Description:
Escape to the woods in a secluded autumn lake house. Leaves shimmer as the evening sun sets.

Notes
Top: Delicious Red Apple, Sparkling Amber
Mid: Fallen Leaves, Autumn Lake House
Base: Cedarwood, Rich Patchouli, Vanilla

This is not a sweet scent at all, more savory, peppery and a little sour/bitter. It's a peppery apple scent, and the apple is more of an old apple that fell on the ground after the fall season and mixed with old brown leaves. But not in a bad way. It's different. Looking at the notes, there's the apple and fallen leaves, not sure what an autumn lake house smells like though! On cold sniff I do detect a hint of amber (which is a sweet warm woodsy scent) and patchouli, but I don't smell those at all when melted.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Bedtime Stories

Description:
Roasting marshmallows by the fire, the imaginations run wild as our favorite bedtime stories are being told. (formerly Campfire Marshmallow)

Notes
Top: Campfire Marshmallow, Warm Vanilla Bean
Mid: Whipped Cream, Light Smokey Notes
Base: Vanilla Extract, Sandalwood, Soft Balsam

A nice rich vanilla marshmallow scent with a smidgen of a smoky note. The Goose Creek website says this is the same scent as their 2016 Campfire Marshmallow scent (https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2016/06/goose-creek-candle-scented-wax-melts-review.html), but I recall that scent having more of a slight laundry or perfumey note, and not as much marshmallow, and the throw was not good. This scent smells more like their Marshmallows scent from May 2018 (https://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2018/05/goose-creek-candle-wax-melts-reviews-may-2018.html)

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Carnival Pralines

Description:
The scent of carnival treats fills the air. Caramel, vanilla and chocolate, oh my!

Notes
Top: Warm Caramel, Toasted Hazelnut
Mid: Delicious Pralines, Chocolate Cream
Base: Whipped Vanilla, Salty Essence

A nice rich caramel scent with a milk chocolate note. Yummy!

Throw: Medium, 3 out of 5

---

Pumpkin Cupcake

Description:
A perfectly sweet pumpkin cupcake topped with vanilla bean & caramel swirl icing.

Notes
Top: Pumpkin Cake Batter, Vanilla Bean
Mid: Sweet Pumpkin, Soft Cinnamon
Base: Caramel, Almond, Brown Sugar

A rich warm caramel bakery scent with a slight vanilla note and maybe a hint of pumpkin spice, and a smidgen of a nutty note. It's not all that pumpkiny, or even spicy, which is good.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Sunflower Daydream

Description:
Beautiful sunflowers drift gently in a cool harvest breeze.

Notes
Top: Sunflowers, Sweet Autumn Apple
Mid: Jasmine, Rose, Ozonic
Base: Cedarwood, Amber, Musk

This is a salty caramel apple scent with a bit of a warm amber note. But it's not a perfumey scent, or even a floral scent at all, and definitely not a sunflower type scent. It's very salty, with almost a popcorn note, but also sweet. I like it!

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Warm & Welcome

Description:
It's a warm and cozy embrace as you grab a comfy blanket and start season 2 of your favorite new show.

Notes
Top: Warm Glowing Amber, Vanilla Sandalwood
Mid: Vanilla Orchid, Marshmallow Crème
Base: White Mocha, Vanilla, Creamy Woods

This smells like marshmallow with a soft slightly cashmere note. It's a little sweet with just a tiny bit of a perfumey note, but it's not a perfumey scent at all. It's rich and warm and might have a hint of caramel, and maybe a barely detectable smidgen of chocolate, but although it smells yummy, it's not really a foodie scent. I like it.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

I didn't get Carving Pumpkins or Fluffy Pancakes (I was told that they won't be available in melts, only candles).

Goose Creek Candle hit it out of the park with these new Spring 2018 scents! They all smell fantastic and throw great!

Blood Orange

Description: A watery blend of fresh sliced blood oranges drenched in cool island rain.

Notes:
Top: Blood Orange Zest, Orange Peel
Mid: Crisp Mandarin, Tangerine Splash
Base: Cool Rain, Sandalwood

This smells like lemon, grapefruit and orange with a tangy, slightly savory note. It's a totally different orange scent than I've ever smelled. It's not a bright, citrusy, sweet orange juice scent at all. It only has a hint of sweetness, but it's also not a harsh, "burnt" orange scent like ScentSationals Molten Orange. It's such a great scent that even though it's not a strong thrower, I'm going to keep it and use it in a smaller room.

Throw: Medium, 3 out of 5

---

Marshmallows

Description: A delicious blend of fluffy marshmallows and heart warming vanilla bean.

Notes:
Top: Warm Vanilla Bean
Mid: Fluffy Marshmallows
Base: Toasted Vanilla Crème

A very nice milky vanillary marshmallow scent. It's not a Bath and Body Work Vanilla Bean Noel type scent at all. It's more milky and marshmallowy, with maybe a hint of smokiness (perhaps the "toasted" part of the vanilla creme) and even a barely detectable smidgen of a laundry note. I really like it. In 2016 Goose Creek had a scent called Campfire Marshmallow, but I don't remember if this is the same scent or not, although I did describe it the same way. That scent did not throw well (and it used the older soft messy wax), but this one does.

Throw: Medium, 3.5 out of 5

---

Rain Drenched Strawberry

Description: A soft garden rain falls from the sky. Sun-kissed strawberries begin to glisten.

Notes:
Top: Fresh Fallen Rain Drops, Sun Kissed Strawberries
Mid: Garden Rhubarb, Soft Jasmine
Base: Light Coconut, Vanilla

Fantastic rich succulent super strawberryish strawberry scent that smells like strawberry sorbet or gelato. It's not a creamy scent like iced cream, and although it's quite sweet, it's not sugary sweet like strawberry jam. It's actually a rather authentic strawberry scent, like the inside of a jumbo sun-ripened fresh garden strawberry! I adore this scent!

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

---

Rainbow Sugar

Description: It's cotton candy dreams! A fluffy, sugary rainbow of colors

Notes:
Top: Frozen Strawberries, Iced Lemon
Mid: Juicy Raspberry, Pink Pomelo
Base: Spun Sugar, Vanilla

This is Pink Sugar! It's a super sweet marshmallowy cotton candyish scent with a raspberry note. One of my favorite scents! I think this one might be sweeter and slightly more fruity than some other Pink Sugar scents I've smelled. It's similar to Better Homes & Gardens Pink Sugar Berry, but again, a bit sweeter and more raspberryish.

Throw: Strong, 4 out of 5

---

Summer Moon

Description: A midnight moon reveals the secret path. It’'s the classic late summer night fragrance.

Notes:
Top: Citrus, Warm Woods, Bergamot
Mid: Light Lavender, Soft Pine
Base: Patchouli, Moss, Vetiver

This is a nice men's herbal body wash scent, like a Cool Water type scent. It's not overly sweet, and I think I detect a smidgen of lavender and pine. I really like it.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

---

Very Berry

Description: A cheerful blend of summer fresh berries. Indulge in this deliciously chilled, very berry treat!

Notes:
Top: Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries
Mid: Soft Apple, Peach Nectar
Base: Vanilla Sugar

I love this scent! I smell super sweet blueberries with a sugary slightly marshmallowy cotton candy note, a little like the Rainbow Sugar scent ("Pink Sugar") but with blueberries. It's not an authentic fruit scent, but it smells fantastic. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell peach or apple, but maybe a little raspberry.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

Goose Creek Candle Wax Melts Reviews - January 2018

Goose Creek Candle Wax Melts Reviews - January 2018

Click to enlarge

Video 

Goose Creek Candle wax melts can be found on their website at https://goosecreekcandle.com. They also have a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/goosecreekcandle.

These new scents just became available today (January 12, 2018) in candle form. The wax melts should be available within the next week or so.

Goose Creek Candle is having a 50% off sale today, which ends tonight (January 12, 2018) at midnight (Eastern Time). If you miss the sale, they frequently have other sales. But they also tend to sell out of new scents quickly, so if you think there's a scent you'll like, don't wait until the next sale!

Black Cherry

Description: Give in to the mouthwatering aroma of sweet, spring-ripened black cherries.

Notes:
Top - Black Cherry, Crisp Apple, Sweet Plum
Mid - Violet Petals, Spun Sugar
Base - Red Currant, Green Leaves

I'm not a fan of a lot of black cherry scents because they tend to be too intense, but this one is not. It's like cherry syrup, but not overly sweet, and there's a warmth in there like maybe a hint of amber that gives it a smidgen of a perfumey note, although it's not actually a perfume scent. I like it. It smells kind of similar to their Cherry Cobbler scent, although that one is stronger and much sweeter, even a little caramely, with a bit of a cherry cough syrup note. Looking at the notes, okay red currant is a subtle almost woodsy fruit note that gives scents a "classy" vibe, so that might be why this scent is not overly sweet or intense.

Throw: Medium, 3 to 3.5 out of 5

---

Black Pepper

Description: Experience the dark and sexy allure of a midnight sky. A sophisticated blend of warm woods, bright citrus and dark spices.

Notes:
Top - Black Pepper, Bright Lemon
Mid - Mandarin, Jasmine
Base - Cedarwood, Patchouli, Amber

This is a men's cologne scent. On cold sniff I do detect a hint of black pepper, but I don't smell that when melting. It's a subtle cologne scent, not intense, and not very sweet. It has a tiny bit of a spa quality and there might be a barely detectable hint of lemon or verbena way in the background. Looking at the notes, there's the lemon.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

---

Blueberry Cake Donut

Description: You can't resist the decadent taste of warm, bakery fresh, blueberry cake donuts.

Notes:
Top - Juicy Blueberries, Black Raspberries
Mid - Vanilla Cake, Crystalized Sugar
Base - Buttercream, Milk

This scent came out in 2015 or 2016 and then I think it skipped a year, but now it's back. I reviewed it in March 2016 at http://www.scentedwaxmeltreviews.com/2016/03/goose-creek-candle-scented-wax-melts-0316.html. It used the soft, messy wax back then, but now it uses the harder wax.

I smell blueberries but it's an artificial blueberry scent. But not in a bad way, as it smells quite nice. I also smell a bakery note with a pinch of salty richness. Looking at the scent notes, I do smell the raspberry, which may be what's making the blueberry smell fake. But strangely, I think I might detect a smidgeon of musk, because this is a somewhat "perfumey" fruity bakery scent. The scent notes in 2016 showed an apple note, but the new notes don't (I don't smell apple at all), and the old notes show musk but the new notes don't (I do smell that smidgen of a perfumey note). Throw is the same now as it was when I reviewed it in 2016.

Throw: Medium, 3 to 3.5 out of 5

Cherry Blossom

Description: Bright pink blossoms fill the countryside with an earthy, true cherry aroma.

Notes:
Top - Cherry Blossom, Fresh Pear
Mid - Lush Violet, Gentle Powder
Base - Bright Florals, Cedarwood

A lovely light floral with a baby powder note, and maybe a pinch of vanilla and possibly a barely detectable hint of cherry. It's sweet but not overly sweet or perfumey. It smells like a nice body cream, or actually more like scented tissues. I really like it.

Throw: Mild, 3 out of 5

---

Cool Rain Drops

Description: A cool breeze flows through the rainforest as ice cold rain drops begin to fall.

Notes:
Top - Sparkling Bergamot, Watery Ozone
Mid - Clary Sage, Lavender Leaves
Base - Black Pepper, Amber, White Woods

A pleasant oceany watery scent with a hint of sweetness and maybe a smidgen of soapiness. It's not a soapy or shower gel type of scent though. Looking at the notes, I do smell a little bit of the pepper and lavender. It's a nice scent, but I have a lot of scents that smell very similar.

Throw: Medium, 3 to 3.5 out of 5

---

Lemon Peel

Description: The essence of a sparkling, summer fresh lemon

Notes:
Top - Sparkling Lemon, Lemon Peel
Mid - Lime, Orange
Base - Lemongrass, Sandalwood

Super authentic lemon scent that smells like the rind of a real lemon! It's a little sweet though, so it's more like a lemonade scent, but the old-fashioned homemade lemonade that's made with freshly squeezed lemons, ice and water, and a little sugar. Looking at the notes, I see "sparkling" lemon, but there's no fizziness in this scent. Although I can see how it might have a little bit of a lemon soda vibe, but without the fizziness, although that might also be because of the lime, which I do detect as well. I don't detect any sandalwood. It's a fantastic scent! It's a completely different scent from their Old Time Lemonade scent, which also smells great, but that one is sweeter, not really authentic, and has a slight bakery note and even a bit of a soapy note.

Throw: Medium, 3 to 3.5 out of 5

---

Perfect Day

Description: A soft glow and warm rays of sunshine fills the air as a breeze of warm amber and bright mandarin sparkle with intensity.

Notes: This scent has not yet appeared on their website, so I don't know the scent notes. I'll add them when I get them.

I love this scent! It's a rich sweet warm ambery scent with maybe a smidgen of cedar and barely detectable hint of lemon. Looking at the scent notes, the lemon is the mandarin (orange), although it's so subtle it's barely there. When melted, it has kind of a sweet candy note, almost like pink sugar.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

---

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Description: Warm from the oven, pineapple upside down cake is the new family favorite recipe.

Notes:
Top - Warm Pineapple, Vanilla Cake
Mid - Sweet Vanilla Sugar
Base - Mandarin, Lemon, Peach

The pineapple is subtle in this scent, which I like, since I'm not a fan of pineapple scents. It's kind of a vanilla cake scent with a little bit of a pineapple note, but I also smell nuts. And it has a hint of a banana note, almost like banana nut cake with pineapples. It's not overly sweet either. I like this one, but I wish it were a little sweeter.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

---

Tropical Daydream

Description: Escape to a lush tropical paradise. It's truly what dreams are made of.

Notes:
Top - Juicy Fresh Pineapple, Fresh Pear
Mid - Star Apple, Guava, Palm Leaf
Base - Soft Bamboo, Tropical Woodlands

This is a strong, intense, kind of harsh pineapple scent with black cherry, I think. There may also be a hint of coconut, although I don't smell that when melting. Looking at the notes, the coconut is probably the palm. I don't see black cherry, but that might be the guava.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 to 4 out of 5

---

Warm Vanilla Cake

Description: Who can resist a hot, delicious, fresh from the oven, white vanilla cake?

Notes:
Top - Fluffy Vanilla Cake, Marshmallow
Mid - Vanilla Bean, Warm Butter
Base - Twisted Vanilla Bean

On cold sniff I smell rich, slightly salty butter, with milky vanilla, a hint of lemon, and maybe a smidgen of coconut. It's very slightly sweet. Melted, it just smells like a stick of butter. It's a nice, unusual scent, perfect for mixing into other scents to add richness and tone down sweetness.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Autumn

Notes: Top - Tea Leaves, Harvest Spices; Mid - Orange Blossom, Crunchy Leaves; Base - Birch Leaves, Light Cinnamon

This is a perfect fall scent. It's apple cider with some mulling spices, and a bit of that musty sour note of crunchy leaves or old apples that have fallen to the ground (but not really in a bad way, and the sour note is not too strong). Looking at the scent notes, no apple? Apple is mostly what I'm smelling! I do smell the spices, but I don't smell tea or orange blossom.

Throw: Excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5

---

Autumn in Amsterdam

Notes: Top - Bright Citrus, Apple, Black Currant; Mid - Blackberry Woods; Base - Light Spice, Sandalwood

This is a nice warm ambery perfumey or cologney scent with sweet vanilla and maybe a hint of some kind of berry. It smells a little like the Jingle Bells scent, but this one is definitely a perfumey scent. It's more like woman's perfume, but there's also that very slight alcohol note of men's cologne (but not in a bad way). Looking at the scent notes, the blackberry is the fruit note I'm detecting, which is why this smells a little bit like ScentSationals Blackberry Cider. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell citrus or apple at all.

Throw: Good, 3 out of 5

---

Christmas Magic

Notes: Amber sweet mandarin and peppermint extract open this enchanting fragrance while crushed candy canes swirl with creamy vanilla and vanilla sugar.

This smells like hard peppermint candies, but also has a bit of a rich, full-bodied vanilla note. It's very pepperminty. Looking at the scent notes, I don't smell mandarin (orange) at all. This smells almost exactly like their Peppermint Snowflake scent from last year, but with much more peppermint.

Throw: Excellent, 4 out of 5

---

Cookies & Milk

Notes: Creamy dark chocolate notes with milk, caramel, hazelnut, creamy vanilla and sweet sugar

I smell sweet rich cookie dough with a subtle milk chocolate note (not a dark, bitter chocolate). This is slightly different from their Cookie Dough Bites scent, which is sweeter and a bit more chocolatey. I think this scent has a more milky vanilla note. Looking at the scent notes, I think I do smell a hint of nut, but not caramel. Melted, it's a yummy milky chocolate chip cookie scent.

Throw: Excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5

---

Cool Harvest Morning

Notes: Top - Fresh Apple, Cool Autumn Mist; Mid - Apple Peels, Bright Bergamot; Base - Soft Sandalwood

On cold sniff I smell apple and a little bit of caramel and a bit of pine and fresh air. Melted, the sweet caramel really comes out and the scent becomes richer and more full-bodied. But it's not overly sweet, and not really a foodie scent either, because of a fresh pine note. Looking at the scent notes, I'm surprised I don't see pine, because I really do smell it, even though it's not strong. This is a fantastic, pleasant scent, and so much better when melted.

Throw: Excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5

---

Jingle Bells

Notes: Enjoy light notes of pear, tangerine, apricot, sugar and creamy vanilla bean.

On cold sniff I smell sweet vanilla and pear, with a subtle note of anise, and maybe a smidgen of perfume. But melted, it's completely different. It's like a thick rich sweet vanilla and pear syrup with a marshmallowy note, and now I smell the apricot a bit. There's also something a little warm in there, not spicy warm, but like a cashmere or amber perfume warm, although this is not a perfumey scent. I don't smell anise at all when melted, and I don't smell tangerine either. This is such a unique scent, and I don't even know how to properly describe or classify it because even though I smell the pear and a bit of apricot, it's not really a fruity scent. It's not even a Christmas or winter scent, but I don't care. It's fantastic!

Throw: Excellent, 4 out of 5

---

Lemon Vanilla Cake Batter

Notes: Top - Warm Lemon Filling, Cake Batter; Mid - Vanilla Bean, Warm Butter; Base - Light Blueberry

This scent came out in March 2017 but it was sold out when I placed my order, so although it's not a new scent, I'm finally able to review it. It's a really nice lemon scent, tangy and authentic, but with sweet marshmallowy vanilla, although it's not overly sweet. It's not an overpowering lemon scent, definitely not a kitchen lemon, but not exactly bakery lemon either. Melted, it smells like rich buttery marshmallowy lemon, and I think I detect a very subtle barely noticeable coconut. Looking at the scent notes there's not coconut. But blueberry? Hmmm, maybe, but I wouldn't think blueberry if I didn't know it was in the scent notes. Either way, it's a delicious scent!

Throw: Excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5

---

Night Before Christmas

Notes: Bergamot, mandarin, and pine layered with caramel musk

I love this scent! It's pine perfume! I smell a fairly even mixture of pine and a sweet warm slightly soapy musky perfume scent, and maybe a smidgen of fruit. OMG I adore this scent! Looking at the scent notes, the mandarin is the fruit, although  I don't smell orange at all. Oh wait, the perfume note I'm smelling is orange "flower", as in neroli. Yes, I definitely smell neroli in here, which is a sweet, warm, almost honey like scent, and one of my favorite scents ever.

One of the members of my group pointed out that I described "A Christmas Story" the same way (http://www.scentedwaxreviews.com/2016/04/goose-creek-candle-scented-wax-melts.html). The notes for A Christmas Story are "a cool balsam scent with notes of pine, orange blossom, and caramel musk". A Christmas Story is definitely a smoky pine scent with a musty note, and that neroli/orange blossom is one of the notes, so maybe 75% pine and 25% neroli. But Night Before Christmas is more of an even mix of neroli/orange blossom and pine, without the smoky/musty note, and a little bit perfumey. I love them both!

Throw: Excellent, 5 out of 5, a scent monster that took over the entire house

---

Salted Caramel Cupcake

Notes: Top - Creamy Caramel, Warm Vanilla; Mid: Sea Salt, Whipped Frosting; Base: Fluffy Baked Cake

A yummy vanilla cake scent with a rich caramel/butterscotch note. It's not very salty, despite the name, which is kind of good because there are a lot of salty caramel scents out there.

Throw: Very Good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5

---

White Icing Cinnamon Roll

Notes: Top - Sweet Cinnamon Sugar; Mid - Marshmallow Vanilla Icing; Base - Doughy Cinnamon Roll

This is the most authentic cinnamon roll scent I've ever smelled. It's very bready, just like the real thing. The cinnamon is realistic, rather than an over-the-top biting cinnamon scent. It's not overly sweet, and although I do smell a sweet vanilla note, I expected a rich buttercream note for the white icing. But that doesn't matter; there are already a lot of other scents out there like that. This scent is unique and realistic.

Throw: Excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5

---

Winter Bayberry

Notes: Bayberry mixed with fresh pine, and light notes of citrus and cedar give this smell a refreshing tone.

This is a slightly perfumey scent with a fruity note, maybe peach, and a green type of clean note. Actually, I think it's apple I'm smelling. It doesn't smell like bayberry to me. Looking at the scent notes, I guess the bayberry is the fruity note, although I really do smell apple. And I do smell the cedar. I don't smell pine or citrus, although they could be way in the background. It's a nice scent, but not my favorite.

Throw: Very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5

I melted these in my 24W warmer (instead of my usual 20W warmer), as I was told by a Goose Creek rep that their wax prefers a higher temperature.

These new scents should be appearing on the Goose Creek Candle website within the next two weeks.

Brown Butter Pistachio

Description: This decadent mix of brown butter and pistachio is infused with delicious accords of creamy coconut, marshmallow fluff, sugar crystals and tonka beans. Nuances of cherry almonds complete this mouthwatering fragrance experience.

This is one is my favorites! It's a pistachio/almond scent with a rich sweet vanilla buttercream note but it also has a slight perfumey or floral note. So even though this is definitely a foodie scent, the perfumey note makes it a little less foodie, but also unique in that it doesn't smell like every other sweet bakery type scent out there. It's a bit similar to the White Chocolate Buttercream scent but with the main note being the nutty pistachio (and of course no chocolate).

Throw: Excellent, 3.5 or maybe 4 out of 5.

---

French Toast

Description: It's breakfast time! A delicious blend of melted butter, warm maple syrup and slow roasted pecans is hard to resist

Rich, bready and buttery with a slight maple syrup note and a smidgeon of cinnamon, this smells just like warm french toast. It's not overly sweet, so it doesn't have that fake note that a lot of similar scents have.

Throw: Excellent, 5 out of 5, scent monster that took over the entire house.

---

Homemade Brownies

Description: A delicious blend of milk chocolate chips and a baked cake accord for the ultimate mouthwatering scent.

This really smells like freshly baked gooey fudgey brownies! It's a fantastic rich chocolate scent with a buttery note. It doesn't smell like a chocolate bar or chocolate cake or chocolate cupcakes, it's not overly sweet, and it doesn't have that burnt note that a lot of chocolate scents have. If I smelled it not knowing the scent name, I would say "brownies"!

Throw: Very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

---

Moment in Time

Description: A treasured blend of fresh strawberry and juicy citrus, layered with the complex notes of warm vanilla and creamy musk.

This smells like pine and lavender with a smidgeon of a cologne note. Very nice scent. I don't detect any fruity notes at all though!

Throw: Fair, 2.5 or 3 out of 5, so it's best for a smaller room.

---

Staying Home

Description: Indulge in the comforts of home with this inviting fragrance blending bergamot, mandarin and cashmere with a heart of jasmine, sweet amber, orris and figolide. A warming combination of patchouli, musk, shea, sandalwood and creamy accents of vanilla and tonka makes you want to stay forever.

This is a slightly perfumey scent, not overly sweet, and I can't figure out the specific notes. I think I detect lavender, and maybe also a smidgeon of lemon and pine. It's a nice scent.

Throw: Poor, 1 or 1.5 out of 5, and within a half hour I could barely smell it even from a few inches a way.

---

White Chocolate Buttercream

Description: A decadent blend of semi-sweet chocolate, sugared vanilla beans and creamy caramel blended with indulgent whipped buttercream icing and finished with sparkling sugar notes.

I love this one! On cold sniff it smells like sweet vanilla buttercream with a hint of chocolate and a slight smidgeon of a perfumey note. But when melted it smells even better, like a yummy sweet rich milk chocolate buttercream without any perfumey notes.

Throw: Very good, 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Goose Creek Candle Scented Wax Melts Review - Spring 2017

Goose Creek Candle Scented Wax Melts Review - Spring 2017

Click to expand

Watch video below:

Another great scented wax melt haul from Goose Creek Candle! Almost all of these are new Spring 2017 scents, although there are a couple from Fall and Winter 2016 that I hadn't tried before. There are only maybe 2 or 3 scents in this haul that I don't like or that don't throw well.

A few months ago Goose Creek changed their scented wax melts formula. The wax used to be very soft and messy, but now the wax is hard and much easier to handle.

Please also read my other Goose Creek scented wax melt reviews at:

Balsam Fir
This scent came out during the winter season, but this is my first time trying it. On cold sniff this smells like a typical Christmas tree scent. It's different from Christmas Tree Farm (which has a slight berry and licorice note) and Christmas Tree Cutting (which smells like pine/spruce with a dirt note, in a good way). But when melted, it smells fantastic, like a real fir tree, slightly woodsy and smoky, and it doesn't have that fake biting pine note. This one is a scent monster that took over the entire house, 5 out of 5 throw.

Banana Pudding
This is a bright sweet banana with a vanilla note and no bakery notes. It's a bit of an artificial banana scent, but not in a bad way.
Comparing this to their Sweet Banana Bread scent, that scent is sweeter with a bakery note as well as faint notes of nut and caramel. This scent is just straight banana and vanilla without any other notes. It's a nice scent, and it smells like banana flavored Vanilla Wafer cookies.
Comparing this to Better Homes & Gardens Banana Bread Pudding (which came out in the fall of 2015 but has since been discontinued), the Better Homes & Gardens version is more vanilla with a cookie note and a smidgeon of nut, not as sweet, and with much less banana. That scent actually smells a bit more like the Goose Creek Sweet Banana Bread scent.  Throw was excellent, 3.5 to 4 out of 5.

Bath Time
This is a great scent, but it doesn't smell like the name. I expected a sweet bubble bath scent, but this is more of a fresh watery herbal scent. It's not sweet, and actually has a bitter note (I'm finding that bitter note in several of the new scents). But the bitter note works for this scent because it's more of a green herbal scent. In fact, it smells like grass or a walk in the park.  When melted, yes, it definitely smells like green grass with maybe some fresh herbs, including a smidgeon of fresh mint. Nice, natural scent like the windows are open. Throw was excellent, 4 out of 5.

Blooming Magnolias
Fantastic scent! This does smell a lot like magnolia flowers, but actually I would call it "lemon flower", since I smell lemon mixed with a sweet honeysuckle type note.  When melted though, I don't detect a lemony or honeysuckle note. It just smells like authentic magnolia flowers, not overly sweet, and very natural. Throw was very good, around a 3.5 out of 5.

Caramel Butter
This scent came out last year but this is my first time buying it. This is the newer hard wax as well, even though the scent is older. It's weak on cold sniff, with a smidgeon of coffee I think, but I also detect a plasticy note. When melted, I don't smell the plasticy note, just a rich caramel scent with a smidgeon of coffee. Throw was excellent, 4 out of 5.

Coffee Shop
This is a creamy coffee scent with a hint of sweet hazelnut perhaps. It smells like a lot of other sweet coffee scents from other companies. It's a nice scent, but kind of "typical". Throw was good, around a 3 out of 5.

Cookie Dough Bites
This really does smell like cookie dough with chocolate chips. The chocolate is subtle, like a milk chocolate rather than a strong burnt chocolate. And of course there's the rich buttery cookie dough note. Melted, there's also a subtle note in there that I can't put my finger on, maybe like a bready or yeasty note that I don't care for, but it's not strong enough to detract from the overall scent. Throw was very good, around a 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Gardenia Petals
A lovely sweet gardenia scent with a slightly soapy note and I think a smidgeon of vanilla. Throw was excellent, 4 out of 5.

Lavender de France
This is an authentic lavender scent. It's a little medicinal, but it also has a smidgeon of sweetness that keeps it from being too medicinal. It's not a sweet or perfumey lavender scent. Throw was very good, around a 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Lilac Garden
This is an authentic lilac scent. It has a smidgeon of a "green" note that keeps it smelling natural. It's a little sweet, but not a fake or perfumey sweetness. Throw was very good, around a 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Lost at Sea
At first I thought on cold sniff that this was just another salty watery scent, but it's a bit different in that it has a slight peppery note that makes it unique, and a hint of bitterness that I don't care for. Melted, that bitter note is more pronounced. Throw was fair to good, around a 2.5 or 3 out of 5, so it would be best for a smaller room.

Peanut Butter & Jelly
I didn't think I'd like this. Just the thought of the house smelling like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich was a bit off-putting for me. But this scent is fantastic! It smells like their Peanut Butter Sugar scent, but with a grape note added, and not quite as sweet. I smell the rich grape jelly first, and then the salty nutty note. Since I don't smell a bready note, this smells more like a fruit and nut health bar than a sandwich. When melted, it smells almost exactly like their Peanut Butter Sugar scent, with a smidgeon of grape. Throw was good, around a 3 out of 5.

Pure Red Rose
This is not a sweet pretty rose scent. It's not sweet, and in fact, it's very bitter. The bitterness gives it a slightly vinyl-like chemical note. I didn't like this one, but throw was excellent, 4 out of 5.

Sparkling Woods
This scent came out during the winter and was not available in a wax melt, so I bought it in the "Fireflies" format (1.5 oz. candle) to cut up into melts. This is a lovely scent. I smell a little bit of wood, a smidgeon of pine perhaps, but the main note I can't put my finger on, maybe it's fig perhaps, and I think there might also be a warm amber note. Throw was very good, around a 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Snow Covered Bridge
This scent came out during the winter and was not available in a wax melt, so I bought it in the "Fireflies" format (1.5 oz. candle) to cut up into melts. On cold sniff I smell fresh mint with a slight warm musk background and maybe a smidgeon of sandalwood. But when melted, it smells completely different, like raw wood while walking through a forest, with a cedar note and maybe just a smidgeon of balsam. Fantastic scent, one of my favorites! Throw was very good, around a 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Superfood Acai
Intense grapefruit scent with orange notes and I think I detect a bit of green tea. This one is a scent monster that took over the entire house, 5 out of 5 throw.

Sweet Pea
This really does smell like a Sweet Pea floral, that sweet rich warm almost vanilla floral scent. And throw was excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5.

White Tea & Bergamot
What a fantastic scent! I smell tea with a salty lemon and herbal note. It's more of a spa scent than a drinking tea scent. Throw was excellent, 3.5 or 4 out of 5.

White Teakwood & Moss
I love this scent! It's a sweet cedar wood scent with a natural note that gives it a slight moldy or mildewy note, but in a good way, and that's probably supposed to be the moss note. But when melted I don't smell that mossy note, just the sweet cedar wood, and I think there's a slight tobacco note. Very nice, throw was excellent, 3.5 to 4 out of 5, and the scent lasted all day!

Lemon Vanilla Cake Batter

This is the only new Spring 2017 scent that I wasn't able to get. They were sold out when I placed my order.
