Don’t let the name fool you, it’s bakery, it’s slightly citrus….it’s delicious!
At first, I have to say, I wasn’t interested. Nothing about Hot and Orange sounded appealing to me at all which I find funny now that I think about it seeing how I love citrus! BUT this was different…it was a bakery scent and I was worried it might smell like furniture polish and pastry. I did hear a lot of different reviewers say they enjoyed the scent and it really is worth buying, so I finally added one bag to a purchase.
…as soon as the box arrived I had to pop one of these puppies into the tart warmer. This has a rich bright zesty candy-like orange note blended with a wonderful pastry bakery scent all topped with some sort of frosting/sugar glaze. It has a strong throw which will make your family or friends ask what’s baking? Perfect for any time of year, this one is a must for me and I have to keep a couple of bags in my stash. :D
I can use this tart any time of day, and better yet the pack comes with three…there you go, breakfast, lunch, and dinner (dessert). Don’t be afraid to take a chance on this fragrance. Love this, highly recommended, especially if you are a bakery lover.
Overall Rating (1-5):
Last year I purchased a Scentsy warmer and some bars (while they were having the Bring Back My Bar sale). I picked up Luscious Lemon and Cutiepie Cupcake. I am just about done with both of those bars, yes it took me that long. LOL! The reason for it taking so long is I have the cupcake shaped warmer. SO cute, right? Well I didn’t really have a place for it…it’s a big cupcake. BUT I have been leaving the frosting top off and have used it everyday since. After figuring out that dilemma, I bought the buy 6 bars for $25 deal.
Sugar Cookie: According to Scentsy
“Warm, sweet blend of butter, sugar and creamy vanilla.” I think it smells wonderful! It’s really a sugary sweet treat. I heard this scent is very popular and I can see why. I feel that most cookie scents are great year round scent, especially if you are trying to sell your home.
Flirtatious: According to Scentsy ”Fruity and vibrant, a combination of green apple, grapefruit, and white amber.” I think this smelled like it had melon in it. I guess it was the grapefruit throwing me for a loop. I am looking forward to trying this scent. Whenever I look at the label I feel like such a girly girl. Like it should be the name of some pop star’s perfume.
Lemon Coconut Chiffon: According to Scentsy ”Melt-in-your-mouth lemon custard layered with butter cake and sprinkled with toasted coconut.” I do believe we have a winner! If you are scared of both lemon and coconut, this might be a good scent to try. They work well together plus you get some of the bakery/cake notes. Delish!
Cherry Limeade: According to Scentsy “Zesty key lime, sweet cherry, and juicy berry: a delicious scent reminiscent of a soda fountain drink.” YES! This is a summer time treat! I love going to a certain drive thru fast food establishment that sells cherry limeade. So refreshing!
Baked Apple Pie: According to Scentsy ”Flaky crust, apples and spices combined in a strong scent.” I get a really nice sweet apple note and a sweet spicy note with just a smidge of crust/bakery. I can’t wait to see if this is as strong as smells cold.
Lucky in Love: According to Scentsy ”Sweet bouquet of mandarin, bergamot and orange with hints of peaches and berries.” This smells like Love Spell, which is one of my favorite fragrances. A wonderfully sweet scent, very beautiful.
I also ordered a plug in Jack-o-lantern for the fall. He was in the close out section for I thought why not. He’s cute, and I can keep him in the guest bath so my nephews will be able to see where they are going when they visit.
The two scents I order before:
Cutiepie Cupcake: “Sweet clementine and yellow cake batter with vanilla and sugary icing.”
Luscious Lemon: “Light, creamy lemon.”
Well after staying up until 3 am and the sale never showed up on the website, I went to sleep. When I woke up at 6 am the sale was STILL not there! I was very disappointed. How can YC have it up right on time last year and this year it was on their own time. There aren’t any real deals yet, except on accessories.
The Citrus Passion jar sleeve is only $5! Just think no more foiling your jars/tumblers.
Tea light and electric warmers are a pretty good deal too.
Large jars and tumblers in select scents are $14.
Medium jars and tumblers in select scents are $12.50.
Small jars are $5.50 and small tumblers are $8.
Tea lights are $5.
Swirl candles are $11.50.
Perfect Pillars are $10.
Select Pure Radiance select fragrances 50% off.
Select tarts and samps are a buck.
There are more deals…just check the website or if there is a store near you, stop by. You might find a scent that was hiding in the treasure cabinet. Mine didn’t have much..I am going to hold out and see what kind of deliveries my store gets in the next week or so. I have been checking online frequently. You never know when a treasure will pop up! I’m trying to stay positive!
The other day I decided to go ahead and burn one of my Kitchen Canisters from Kringle. I have been putting it off because I wanted to spend the day burning it, with the occasional blow out to trim the wick, enjoying the scent and making sure I was good and ready to write a review. Don’t worry YouTubers I will make a video for this as well.
The description on the website states “ the unmistakable scent of tropical coconut married with a rich, buttery cookie”. I’m not a big fan of coconut, as I have mentioned before, but something must have made me add this to the cart. When I received my order I was worried about this actually. I popped the lid off and WOW it about knocked me back! Super sweet coconut filled the air and I was so worried I had a tumbler full of tropical drink mix. I figured I would go ahead and light to see what it actually produced. I was surprised!
A very mild, lovely coconut smell filled most of my home. I haven’t gotten much of the buttery cookie note. I have only had this candle burning for about 8 hours so it might come out as the candle burns down. It smells like the meat portion of the coconut. Not overly tropical, more of a baking coconut, delicious. I feel that I could burn this scent all year.
If you are looking for a bakery type of coconut then you might want to look into this scent. Enjoy!

Well I have an update about which scents are going to be on sale during the semi annual sale at Yankee Candle. These scents will either be a permanent or seasonal retirement. I found out about these from a friend and I’m not sure if he wants credit or not so I will refrain unless he says something. I think these are actually on display at the store to let their customers know what might be leaving.
Here’s the scents that I know about so far:
- Beach Flowers
- Blue Hydrangea
- Cherry Lemonade
- Coastal Waters
- Cottage Breeze
- Drift Away
- Early Sunrise
- Garden Hideaway
- Green Grass
- Island Spa

- Tahitian Tiaré Flower
- Tulips

- I am also hearing from YC employees that it’s going to be a great sale with lots of deals. Stay tuned!
Ah … the Jar-normous. This is the bigger one out of the two (I think). It’s not just Christmas scents like the one after the Holidays.
Okay so I thought I would share which scents I would like to see at the semi annual sale at Yankee Candle. There is nothing like getting a good deal on a Yankee candle. Last year this was the run down: You could buy 6 large jars or tumblers for $69. 2 large jars or tumblers for $25. 1 large jar or tumbler for $15. Of course this was out of the select scents (treasure scents and discontinued scents) bought back just for the SAS. If they have something similar to this I will stock up if it ends up being $12 to $13 a jar. Of course there were special prices for tarts and medium jars/tumblers. I’m not sure how it will be this year, but if they bring back scents here which ones I want:
Shortbread Cookie – I know I have one already but it’s so good I want several of them. I think this could be a scent I could use all the time.
Country Lemonade – They discontinued this scent last year but I am hoping they will bring back some that are in stock. I hope!
Water Garden – A nice watery floral.
Star Fruit and Orange – I bought this scent last year and fell in love with it. Nice and bright just the way I like them!
Leather – I didn’t grab it last year and I hope it’s out again this year.
Vanilla Oak – Nice scent…different then your traditional vanilla scents.
Tutti Frutti – This was out last year too and I didn’t get it in time when I was checking out online.
Banana Cream Pie – I only could snag one last year.
Lemon Zest – Never had this one. I do have tart in it.
Peaches and Berries – I want a second since I have been using mine up.
Mom’s Apple Pie – would be nice to try this one!
Raspberry Cream – This is wonderful with Jelly Donut ..just an added bit of sweetness
Candied Apple – I have never tried this scent.
Juicy Orange – Well I do love citrus.
I like it when they have the special pours, like the 10 oz tumbler of Stormwatch and Kiwi Berries and the three wick 17 oz (I think it is) in scents like Early Sunrise, Blueberry Scone, Fruit Salad, Candied Apple, and Cinnamon and Sugar. These are great to have on hand. I like the 3 wick ones the most. The ones I have used have given off an amazing throw in my great room. If they are planning on changing over the marbled wax for smooth in the tumblers this is when they might push those out.
Of course there will be others that I can’t think of that might show up. I know some of the seasonal summer scents will be retired but I am not sure which ones will stay. I know Midnight Oasis will be leaving, it did last year. I think Cherry Lemonade was another that left after the SAS.
Anyway, here are some tips to go by when shopping:
1. If you see what you want, get it. Don’t wait because it won’t be there when you go back for it. Prices do drop towards the end since they are trying to get rid of what they have in stock.
2. Go for the best price. Find scents to make the deal work for you. For example if they have 6 for $70 don’t buy 2 jars over and over again. Chances are you are not getting the best price.
3. Have a plan. Don’t just spend money, think of birthdays, holidays, or special occasions you would want to buy a gift for in the future. This is a great way to take care of all of those things for cheap!
4. Know what scents and sizes you want ahead of time. If you have an idea you can prepare. Last year I knew the whole list of scents but this year no one is leaking the list but at least you know do you want fruit, food and spice, floral, fresh? Do you want pillars, jars, tumblers etc?
5. If you can, shop both in store and online. Last year I woke up at 3 in the morning to shop on line and grab what I wanted. I did this once a week when the new deals were released and new scents were added. Who doesn’t love shopping in their PJs. Sometimes the stores will have different scents. Make sure you check there periodically as well. The ladies at my store know I will be dropping hundreds so they take good care of me.
6. Make room now. If you have a lot of half used jars/tumblers, burn them to clear out the cabinet. That’s what I have been doing this whole month.
7.Have fun with it. <3 I enjoy the thrill of the hunt. Will I find what I want? Who knows but I feel happy when I find something special.
I hope you have fun shopping the SAS!
Let me know what you all end up getting. I love hearing what everyone finds.
