I ordered this scent not too long ago on a hunch from a reading all the reviews on it. Apparently this scent is very popular and why wouldn’t it be? It’s a sugar cookie….a delicious buttery, sugary sweet sugar cookie. Everyone I have talked to highly recommends it.
On cold sniff it’s very creamy and buttery yet not too sweet where you are getting cavities just from smelling it, but has the right amount of sugar. It smells like butter, sugar, and a hint of vanilla blended together with a mixer. A yummy start to this delicious baked treat!
It didn’t totally wow me when I opened the clamshell. However, when I placed it in the huge cupcake warmer that I purchased last year, it started to smell delicious! The sweet vanilla and butter come out, still creamy but more of a bakery smell. Definitely a good way to enjoy a sweet treat.
Scentsy describes this scent as:
Warm, sweet blend of butter, sugar and creamy vanilla.
Rating (0-5): 1/2 I wish it was just a little stronger with the bakery note.
Throw: Medium to Strong
Worth It: Yes
I found this at Walmart the other day and I picked up two clamshells. On a cold throw I get a nice bakery cookie fragrance with only a touch of chocolate. It’s not super strong but it seems to be a great chocolate chip cookie scent that won’t choke me up with fake chocolate. The perfect mix.
When I got home I figured it would be worth trying right away…I was ready to switch to something sweet and bakery like. I went ahead a put two cubes but I think one would have been plenty for the small room I was in (the candle room). Right away I could smell this wonderfully creamy butter vanilla scent with chocolate notes. It was such a delightful fragrance.
ScentSationals package describes this scent as:
Sweet vanilla, warm butter and a hint of milk chocolate.
I will be picking up more of these. They would be perfect any time of the year you want to have a little sweetness added to your home.

When I think of citrus I think of sweet strong bright notes but the citrus in this fragrance is just a bit different. The citrus is a smooth slightly sweet almost refreshing. It works amazingly well with the earthiness of the sage which isn’t too over bearing.
It’s a beautiful scent that I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s a man-dle or cologne type scent, however, it would be a great fragrance to have in a man cave to un-stink-a-fy the room, without making it smell like cleaner. I enjoy this in the guest room and the great room.
The tart was pretty strong but that’s what I want in a wax melt. The candle gives off just enjoy scent to fill a small to medium size room.
Yankee Candle describes this scent as:
This blend of earthy sage, luxurious talc, and lemon-lime creates a natural harmony.
At first I wasn’t interested in this fragrance..in fact every time I went to Yankee Candle, I passed it up and didn’t give it a second thought. I started watching YouTube videos and TheNoseKnows76 had mentioned this fragrance. I was out and about at Bed, Bath and Beyond..Sage and Citrus was on sale and I had a coupon so I figured why not. Instantly I fell in love with it. I had it going in the warmer next to the couch and it was just perfect. A nice clean and refreshing snuggly scent all wrapped up in to one.
Overall Rating (0-5): Perfect for any time of the year.
Picture yourself walking on the beach, but instead of letting the ocean water run across your feet, you are up closer to the dunes. The sweet smell of wild grasses growing fills the slightly salty ocean air. This is what I think of when I have Dune Grass melting or burning.
Yankee Candle’s website describes this scent as:
A fresh, green coastal breeze of bamboo leaf, bergamot and lemon verbena with hints of white orchid.
Now, not to be confused with Green Grass, this one has more of an ocean/beachy scent to it. Even though it has bergamot and lemon verbena it’s not a super strong scent, it’s actually sweet and mild. Excellent for summer days or nights where you just want to pretend for a moment you are walking on a white sandy beach, without smelling pure salt water or suntan lotion. Relaxing.
This is actually discontinued but you can find it right now online for the SAS. If you are interested in trying it out, you can’t be the price! I stocked up on this in tart form. Even though I live 10 minutes away from the beach, sometimes I just don’t have time to go there and having this scent melting in the office (AKA the candle room) I can relax, close my eyes and think of walking on the sand as the sun sets…ah summer.
Rating (0-5):Throw: Medium
Worth It: Yes, if you want to try a grassy scent that doesn’t smell like fresh cut grass.

I placed an order with The Bathing Garden about a week ago. I had heard such great things and I mean just look at them, they are so cute! I love the embellishments that are added to the clamshells which are also filled to the rim with wax awesomeness!
I, of course, picked a scent called Lemon Tea Party to be apart of this purchase. No surprise when I tell you it’s the first scent I picked to melt =).
The website describes this scent as
The soothing scent of black tea blended with tart juicy lemon!
Break off a piece of this soy blended wax and place in your tart burner.
This was strong …right after I made the video about the purchase I couldn’t hold back. I had to break a piece off and melt it right away. I was in lemony tea heaven! I only had one piece in…one piece! I didn’t even give it time to sit for days to see if the scent would get stronger…..I couldn’t resist!!! It smells like a freshly brewed cup of hot tea with a lemon wedge. Amazing! I felt like I should be drinking daintily from a antique-ish tea cup. Refreshing and relaxing without the caffeine!

OH you better believe this one will be purchased many times!
According to Kim’s website, this scent is described as
“fresh, creamy and tart lemon with hints of crust”
Kim has one of the best selection of lemon scents. I noticed that I hadn’t tried all of them so I thought I would add this one to my cart. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this fragrance. Usually biscotti scents vary and they might have sweet fennel/anise notes added to them. Knowing that, I wasn’t sure if it would really work with a sweet, creamy lemon, in my opinion. I was really impressed with this once I opened the bag. I could smell the sweet lemon and the wonderful bakery note. Not to be confused with her Lemon Meringue Pie that has that tart custardy note along with a meringue note.
This is what I thought her Lemon Pound Cake was going to smell like, dense bakery/cake-y note with a lemony vanilla glaze/frosting. It’s not as dense as LPC but you do get hints of crust or cake in this divine mix which I feel really helps the lemon POP. Delish!
I am happy to have another phenomenal lemon scent to add to my ever growing list of favorites! This will please any bakery connoisseur and will be a huge hit with the lemon lovers. The overall throw was amazing as well. It filled my kitchen, great room, and made it all the way down the hall and into the spare bedrooms.
