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

Lavender Vanilla

Description: This soothing aroma will drift you into a deeply relaxing mood.

Notes: Top: Fresh Lavender, Violet, Rose; Mid: Red Fruits, Jasmine; Base: Amber, Cedarwood, Warm Vanilla

I adore this scent! It's authentic lavender with a rich vanilla buttercream note, and maybe a smidgen of caramel. It also has a warm note, like amber or cashmere. And possibly another barely detectable floral way in the background, like gardenia. It's sweet but not perfumey. All of the notes are balanced just perfectly. There are lots of other lavender vanilla scents out there, and they all smell like the Bath & Body Works or Yankee Lavender Vanilla, with that odd coconut note. I really like those other lavender vanilla type scents, but nothing compares to this one. This might be one of the best scents I've ever smelled!! Looking at the notes, I don't smell fruit or rose.

Throw: Medium, 3.25 out of 5

Orange Cream Soda

Description: Orange soda is poured over sweet vanilla cream satisfying every classic float lover.

Notes: Top: Creamy Vanilla, Bright Orange; Mid: Mixed Citrus, Soft Fizz; Base: Soda Notes, Sugar

This smells just like an orange creamsicle. I've smelled other orange vanilla and orange dreamsicle type scents before, but this one might be the best. It's a nice balance of fake, slightly tangy orange drink powder (in a good way) with super sweet creamy vanilla. I can't stop smelling it! I think it's a little more orangey/tangy than other similar scents I've smelled, which is also a good thing. Looking at the scent notes, I don't detect any fizzy or soda notes, which is also a good thing.

Throw: Strong, 3.5 out of 5

Sunday Drive

Description: Windows down, hair is blowing as you cruise down the backroads without a care in the world.

Notes: Top: Cactus Flower, Soft Raspberry; Mid: Sparkling Lemon, Jasmine; Base: Sun-Kissed Coconut, Vanilla

I love this scent! It smells like a combination of coconut, a rich warm floral, a fruity note like raspberry, and a little bit of a cologne note, although it's not a cologne scent at all. It's sweet but not perfumey. Looking at the scent notes, they're right on point, although I don't smell lemon, and cactus flower might be the salty note that I think is bergamot (which gives scents a cologney note).

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

Unicorn Candy

Description: The mouthwatering aroma of sour candies covered with sparkling sugar.

Notes: Top: Blue Raspberry, Candied Sugar; Mid: Rock Candy, Peach Crème; Base: Wild Currant, Mixed Berry

This smells like a super sweet raspberry and blueberry (blue raspberry?) candy with a hint of lemony tartness. It has a cotton candy note, but it's not quite as sugary and does have that hint of lemon. It smells like a blue raspberry slushie, or fruity hard candies. I love this scent, and it lasted all day!
Someone in the group said it "has a pronounced blue raspberry with a touch of sugar or cotton candy maybe. It’s sweet, but brighter. It reminds me of snow cones at the carnival."

Comparing this to ScentSationals Unicorn Cake and Hobby Lobby Unicorn Dreams, all 3 scents are completely different from each other, despite the similar names.

Throw: Bold, 5 out of 5

Yuzu Lime

Description: A bright citrus blend. The aroma of beautiful farm-fresh citruses fill the air.

Notes: Top: Sharp Citrus, Yuzu Lime, Lime Juice;
Mid: Lemon Juice, Grapefruit, Mandarin; Base: Sparkling Water, Light Musk

Yuzu is a citrus fruit that has zesty notes of lemon, lime, bitter grapefruit, mandarin (orange), and oregano. I smell the orange first, with the lime note. It's a little sweet. Looking at the notes, I don't smell musk, as it's not a perfumey scent at all. And there are sparkling, fizzy notes. I really like this one, but the scent dissipated within 2 hours.

Throw: Strong, 3.75 out of 5

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
