Amaretto
Cherry, cinnamon, chocolate, maple and vanilla with a strong coffee base
A yummy sweet almond scent with a cherry note and maybe a little bit of rich vanilla. It smells like marzipan candy filling. I don't smell coffee or chocolate.
Apple Cider
A blend of spices, sweet caramelized apples, cinnamon sticks, and the apple peel for a kick
A fantastic sweet apple scent with a little cinnamon and caramel. It's not an apple cider scent, and it's not an authentic apple scent either, but it smells great!
Black Raspberry Vanilla
Blackberries and vanilla with sandalwood
A nice rich blackberry/raspberry scent with a hint of a warm perfume note, similar to Scentsy Luna or ScentSationals Blackberry Cider. It's not truly a fruity scent but also not a perfumey scent, more like a rich luxurious blackberry or raspberry scented body lotion. Very nice! Melted, there was a little bit of a tartness that I didn't like, but it's still a very nice scent.
Blueberry Muffin
Top notes of blueberries with vanilla, middle notes of cinnamon nutmeg and brown sugar, and a base of fresh baked bread
A very nice but fake blueberry muffin scent. The blueberry is not very strong when melted, and it has more of a sweet vanilla type note, but still quite nice.
Butterfly Garden
Top notes of summer dandelion, refreshing verbena, and soft heliotrope; middle notes of spring meadows, lily of the valley, and weeping willow; base notes of sweet pea blossoms and Kentucky blue grass.
This smells like green grass with a hint of floral, just a little sweet but not flowery sweet. It has a bit of bitterness that I don't care for.
Chocolate Cake
Chocolate with brown sugar, caramel, and pecans
This is a very nice chocolate scent. It doesn't have that stinky burnt note that some chocolate scents have. It really smells like chocolate cake! I don't smell nuts though.
Chocolate Covered Cherries
Sweet maraschino cherries smothered in milk chocolate, with a base of French vanilla
A perfect combination of chocolate and maraschino cherries. This smells like the toppings of an ice cream sundae, or a cherry filled chocolate bar. Decadent and super yummy! But the scent dissipated in under an hour.
Christmas Tree
Top notes of pine and lime, middle notes of cardamom and pepper, base notes of Scotch pine
This is a fake pine scent but not in a bad way. There may also be a hint of something else in the background, like cranberry. Looking at the notes, the cranberry is probably the lime.
Fresh Brewed Coffee
Strong black fresh brewed Arabica coffee beans
A nice coffee scent with a bit of a milky note. It's not a burnt bitter black coffee, or a sweet coffee, or really even an authentic coffee scent. But it's quite nice.
Fresh Roses
Top: Fruity Apple Peel, Green Leaf, Citrus; Mid: Red Rose, Geranium; Base: Soft Powder, Musk
A fake rose scent with a soapy, slightly bitter note. It's a nice scent, but I'm not a fan of the bitterness.
Green Apple
A nice sweet apple candy scent with a smidgen of a marshmallowy and/or slightly caramel note.
Harvest
Cinnamon, cloves and musk with a hint of sweet apples and pumpkin
I smell cinnamon, cloves, a little bit of apple, and maybe a smidgen of nutmeg. Looking at the notes, they're spot on. A nice fall scent.
Japanese Cherry Blossom
Pink Japanese cherry blossoms and fragrant mimosa flower petals, with warm base notes of vanilla, Tonka bean, and oriental woods.
This smells like a tea rose scent to me, rather than cherry blossom, like a tea rose scented soap with just a hint of bitterness to make it smell a bit more authentic. Nice!
Lavender
A wonderful aroma of true lavender flowers
This smells like a lovely sweet old-fashioned lavender scented soap. I really like this one!
Lemon Ginger Cookie
A blast of citrus enveloped in a ginger base, with hints of bergamot and Italian lemon
I smell both the lemon and the ginger note, and maybe a hint of vanilla. It has just a bit of a yummy cookie note, it's not overly sweet, and it also has a little bit of a fresh almost kitchen lemon note, or even a hint of lime. Looking at the notes, bergamot is probably the fresh note, as that's a base for many cologne scents (although this is not a cologne type scent at all). It's an unusual scent, and I really like it!
Monkey Farts
Top notes of bananas and grapefruit; middle notes of kiwi, bubblegum, and strawberries; and a hint of vanilla as a base note
This is a very fake banana scent, like dollar store banana flavored candy, but it also has a slight perfumey note. I actually really like it!
Mountain Fresh
Top notes of herbaceous green ivy, Brazilian orange, and Italian lemon; middle notes of Damascenia rose, ylang ylang, and violet; base notes of patchouli, cedarwood, musk, and vanilla.
I adore this scent! It smells just like a fresh very slightly herbal bar soap (like maybe an Irish Spring or Gain type fabric softener) being used in a steamy hot shower or relaxing bubble bath. It's not just the soap scent, but that lingering hot soapy scent you smell after the shower or bath. It's a nice clean, fresh scent without being harsh or smelling like a "cleaner". It's absolutely fantastic, and it's like it was made just for using in the bathroom. And the scent lasted all day.
North Pole
Sweet peppermint sticks with a creamy, rich vanilla foundation
I love this scent! It's a sweet sugary candy cane scent with a strong peppermint note and a little bit of vanilla.
Peanut Butter Cookie
Rich, buttery, freshly baked peanut butter cookies
This really smells like a peanut butter cookie, or peanut butter fudge. It's not overly sweet either. Yummy!
Pumpkin Crunch Cake
The aroma of creamy pumpkin pie filling surrounded by freshly baked yellow cake, melted butter, pecans, and hints of spice
This is a pumpkin pie scent with a rich buttery note, maybe a hint of nut, and a smidgen of vanilla. Looking at the scent notes, they're spot on. When melted, this almost has a bit of a peanutty note and smells more like pumpkin peanut brittle.
S'Mores
Top notes of graham cracker followed by a sweet sugary vanilla and finished off with dark chocolate
This smells like a rich chocolate chip croissant. It doesn't smell like s'mores, as there's no marshmallow or graham cracker notes. But it still smells yummy!
Strawberry
Strawberries
This is a yummy sweet strawberries and cream candy scent. It's not an authentic strawberry scent, but that's okay because it smells great.
Trick or Treat
Sticky caramel, sweet vanilla, and candy corn
A nice sweet corn type scent, like corn muffins maybe, with a hint of caramel. Looking at the scent notes, I figured they were going for a candy corn scent, and although this is a nice scent, it's definitely not candy corn.
