Warm Sniff: 5/5 No surprises once melted.

Scent Strength: 2/3

Scent Throw: >3/3 Filled the entire living room and then some.

Melting Power: 5/5 I got about 8 and a half hours of scent from half of a scent shot.

Repurchase: Yes! Delicious, deciduous indulgence. Sign me right up for 10.

Stop & Chat: January 13-18

I've slipped into a comfortable routine for the past several days. Doing so has created less blog-worthy material and more introspective thoughts.

But first! Time to talk about my planner!

L3 Waxy Wonders - Thriller

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike

You know it's thriller, thriller night

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Scent Description: Blueberry Pumpkin Patch Cheesecake

Weight Melted: 0.9 oz

Location of Warmer: Bedroom, in tealight warmer

Cold Sniff: 4/5 A delicious pumpkin pie with a sprinkling of blueberries. Think of a blueberry muffin (with authentic blueberries!) and smash it violently into a pumpkin pie. Yup. Violently. That's this tart.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 The blueberries died off quite a bit once this melted. Bummer.

Scent Strength: 1.5/3

Scent Throw: 3/3 This filled the entire bedroom quite easily.

Melting Power: 3/5 I got a little over 5 hours of scent from two cubes.

Repurchase: No. Sadly, the part I was most excited about (authentic blueberries!) wasn't quite there once this tart was in the warmer.

Candles From the Keeping Room - The Keeping Room

Scent Description: A Ripe Spicy Clove type with top notes of Almond, Pepper and Pimento. Middle notes of Clove and Cinnamon and a sugary sweet spicy vanilla base note.

Date Received: July 26, 2016

Weight Melted: 1.1 oz

Location of Warmer: Living room, in tealight warmer.

Cold Sniff: 5/5 Very authentic to the scent description. I don't have much to add to this, besides yum.

Warm Sniff: 5/5 No surprises once melted. A very pleasant, sweet cinnamon and clove scent with an ever so slight nutty vibe.

Scent Strength: 2/3

Scent Throw: 3/3 This filled the entire living room.

Melting Power: 4/5 I got about six and a half hours of scent from one tart.

Repurchase: Yes. Such a lovely, signature fall/winter scent. 

Satin Suzie Scents - Havana Mornings

Scent Description: Strong black Cuban coffee sweeten with brown sugar.

Date Poured: November 22, 2016

Weight Melted: 0.8 oz

Location of Warmer: Kitchen, in tealight warmer

Cold Sniff: 4/5 A surprisingly awesome black coffee with a little sweet sugar added in. You can definitely tell it's brown sugar and not regular sugar.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 No surprises once melted. Actually, that's a lie. I was very surprised that this didn't turn into a silent beg for me to end its misery. I'm used to my coffee scents turning into a warped and bitter ghost of what I like my coffees to smell like.

Scent Strength: 1/3 This stayed incredibly light.

Scent Throw: 2/3 This filled most of the kitchen/dining area, but not much else.

Melting Power: ?/5 It's hard to say how long this tart lasted. It was overshadowed by another scent that I melted (Christmas Cedar), and I forgot this was something I'd melted until I was checking my wax notes.

Repurchase: Undecided. I need to go back and re-melt this, and once I do I will edit this post, but as it sits in my memory, no. This scent was incredibly light but remained a very gorgeous, authentic coffee blend. I may have to save this for smaller spaces and keep other, stronger scents away from it. If my second melt reveals good throw and melting power, I will say yes. Even with the very light scent strength. :)

Satin Suzie Scents - Christmas Cedar

Scent Description: No scent description available.

Date Poured: November 19, 2016

Weight Melted: 0.7 oz

Location of Warmer: Living room, in tealight warmer

Cold Sniff: 4/5 An incredibly gorgeous mix of soft woods, spices, and citrus. I believe there's something orange in here.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 First and foremost - citrus! Then, gentle woods and spice caress your face. Can scents caress your face? I don't care, they can now!

Scent Strength: 2/3

Scent Throw: >3/3 This filled the living room, bedroom, hallway, office, and most of the kitchen/dining area.

Melting Power: 3/5 I got a little under 6 hours of scent from half of a scent shot.

Repurchase: Yes!

I'm so incredibly impressed with Bernadette's wax. It's a great price, her TAT is lightning quick, and the performance is stellar! She has a return customer in me.

Haul: Zoya Black Friday 2016

Who can resist a sale? A once in a lifetime opportunity? A 70% off sale from a brand that usually retails for anywhere between $8 and $10 and has consistently great performance on your nails? I don't know about you, but I sure couldn't resist. My only regret is that I did not unleash the crazy. Alas, it's time to wipe my tears and turn my attention to these beauties!

I submitted my order on November 25th and it shipped on December 1st. Due to shipping restrictions, this had to be shipped via boat and did not arrive until January 11th. Thus, this belated Black Friday haul post!

Satin Suzie Scents - White Out

Scent Description: No scent description available.

Date Poured: November 22, 2016

Weight Melted: 0.7 oz

Location of Warmer: Kitchen, in tealight warmer

Cold Sniff: 4/5 I smell something woody. Cedar, maybe? It smells damp, like it's been overtaken by moss and the heart of the tree has been exposed. Quite an intriguing blend.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 This smelled the same once melted, but my brain kept processing this as a clean type scent. I felt like I had to wash all of the dishes and scrub all the floors until they sparkled.

Scent Strength: 2/3

Scent Throw: >3/3 This filled the kitchen/dining area, hallway, office, and part of the entryway.

Melting Power: 4/5 I got a little under 7 hours of scent from half a scent shot.

Repurchase: Yes. I wouldn't consider myself a damp/moss loving person, but something about this smelled good in all the right ways. Like I was walking through a forest after a cold, cleansing rain.

The Bathing Garden - Cardamom Potion

Scent Description: No scent description available

Weight Melted: 1.3 oz

Location of Warmer: Living room, in tealight warmer.

Cold Sniff: 4/5 This cardamom is surprisingly soft. A hint of musky vanilla and something slightly citrusy. I definitely want more.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 A hint of something almost caramel-like poked its head through once melted, and that citrus note stayed slightly hidden in the background.

Scent Strength: 1/3

Scent Throw: 3/3 This filled the entire living room.

Melting Power: 3/5 I got about five and a half hours from this brain.

Repurchase: Yes. There was something about this gentle, mysterious brain that has left me wanting more. 

Candles From the Keeping Room - Country Fair Strudel

Scent Description: Freshly baked apple strudel.

Date Received: July 26, 2016

Weight Melted: 1.0 oz

Location of Warmer: Kitchen, in tealight warmer

Cold Sniff: 4/5 A wonderfully sweet fall type aroma with some bakery aspects added in. Think sweet cinnamon apples, a dash of incense, and a heaping of pie crust.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 No surprises once melted.

Scent Strength: 1/3

Scent Throw: >3/3 This filled the entryway, hallway, kitchen/dining area, office, and part of the living room.

Melting Power: 4/5 I got six hours of scent from one cookie.

Repurchase: Yes! This was one of those scents that was light in strength but managed to pull it off splendidly. If you want a nice, light fall scent that won't punch you in the face, this is the place to go.
