Candy Crush Trio
Nilla Vanilla
On cold sniff it smells like vanilla buttercream with a cherry note, but it also has a weird plasticy chemical note. When melted though, it just smells like vanilla buttercream, no cherry (the cherry note was probably absorbed from the cherry scent next to it) or chemical notes.
Berry Licious
A nice sweet cherry vanilla scent. It's a "happy" scent! Unfortunately scent started dissipating within an hour or two.
Cherry Crush
This smells like rich cherry flavored cough syrup cherry. It's not an authentic cherry scent and it smells quite artificial, but I like it. After about an hour, it started getting a bit annoying with more of a chemical note; I think mixing it with a bit of vanilla would help.
Chocolate Infatuation Trio
Vanilla Truffle
A rich sweet marshmallowy vanilla buttercream. Unfortunately the scent started dissipating within 2 hours.
Milk Chocolate
This really does smell like milk chocolate, a light milky chocolate scent like a milk chocolate candy bar.
Chocolate Biscotti
This smells like rich hot chocolate, but I don't smell any bakery notes.
Fresh Cotton Trio
Cool Winds
A nice fresh fabric softener scent.
Cotton Seed and Freesia
Coconut with a laundry note and smidgen of floral.
Fresh Cotton
This smells more like a fresh salty ocean scent than laundry. It's an okay scent, but I like the other two more.
Lavender Sachet (TimberWick)
Lavender, wild thyme, sage, warm musk, and earthy woods
A lovely soapy lavender scent. This is not a harsh medicinal lavender. It's more on the sweet side, but not overly sweet, and has a very slight warm ambery note (from the musk). It's a perfect lavender scent, and great for a bedroom or baby's room.
Mint Trio
Peppermint
A slightly sweet peppermint scent. All 3 scents in this trio smell almost exactly the same.
Mint Leaves
On cold sniff this one is a bit weak. I smell mint with a slightly woodsy note. But when melted I don't smell the woodsy note, but I do smell a little bit of a sweet vanilla and a smidgen of cookie.
Candy Cane
A sweet vanilla mint scent. This one is a little sweeter than the other two scents.
Mountain Air (PureFresh Bathroom Neutralizing)
A crisp fresh blend of ozone, herbs, florals and musk
On cold sniff this smells like a nice smelling bar of soap. Melted, it's definitely a laundry scent, but a nice soapy laundry scent, not a harsh detergent scent but also not a flowery fabric softener scent.
Pine Meadow (TimberWick)
Crushed pine needles with fresh cedar and blue spruce bark
This is more of a spruce scent than a pine scent. Pine scents can be a little biting and sometimes smell artificial, but spruce scents are more crisp and subtle. Blue spruce specifically is fantastic, a fresh, crisp woodsy balsam scent, which is mostly what I smell here. It's not a biting pine scent, and I don't smell cedar.
Sunshine Fresh (PureFresh Pet Neutralizing)
The harmonious fusion of florals, green apples, ozone, and musk
This is exactly the same scent as the old ScentSationals Paws-itively Tropical, an apple scent with another note that I can't put my finger on (maybe a tropical fruit?), but it's very nice. Looking at the scent notes, that other note I can't figure out is "ozone", which gives it a fresh almost oceany vibe. And the Paws-itively Tropical scent is also a Pure Air Odor Eliminating Technology scent. Hanna's Candle and ScentSationals are two different companies, but maybe some of their scented oils come from the same manufacturer.
