Mango Peach Salsa

Today's scent is a great summer scent!  Mango Peach Salsa is a dupe for the Yankee scent of the same name and it is dead on in my book .  The scent description is: luscious tones of fruit are blended with warm spicy accents in this tempting creation.  Bright citrus notes of tangerine balance with fresh cherry for the tangy top note.  A heart of ripe peach mingles with strawberry, as hints of spice add delightful texture to the blend.  Floral undertones are enveloped in a clean musk base to complete the fruit sensation.  Wowza! 

I would categorize this as a juicy fruit scent.... I mainly get peach and mango, with a hint of citrus and strawberry.  I don't really get any floral notes or musk.  I can't really detect enough spice to say "hey, there is a spice note to this"... it more just adds depth, if that makes any sense.... kinda like not being able to put your finger on something, as the saying goes.  I guess in this case, it would be your nose, lol.  I do like this scent, however, there are some scents in the same vein as this one that I like more, such as Mango Smoothie.  Still, a great summer scent! 

Today's Melt: Lime Crystal Kisses

This is a nice fresh but sweet scent.  The scent description is lime infused with sweet sugar, kissed by lemons.  It smells like green Skittles to me.  I know Cynthia loves this because she loves Victoria's lemon/lime scents.  It is just ok to me.  It is really light, even in scent shot form.  With that and also the sweetness from the sugar, I like it more than I thought I would.  I don't know how this scent would do in candle form though.  I am afraid it might be too light. 

Yum, Lemon Gingersnap Pie!

This baby just knocked my favorite lemon scent back one spot! 

The notes in the description are lemon pound cake, gingerbread, and pie crust.  I wouldn't say I get "gingerbread" but that spicy ginger note is there... just enough to give this a little kick in the butt.  This is so comforting because of the pie and ginger notes but fresh and tart from the lemon.  It reminds me of those lemon bars that you make from a mix. I am VERY picky about my lemon scents because most lemon/lime/orange scents tend to remind me of household cleaning products.  This one and Lemon Pound Cake are winners in my book!

8/21 Heavy Metal

Today's melt of the day is Heavy Metal.  This is a dupe for a certain bath company that shall not be named... I also think of Voldermort when I say that, lol.

I love the color of this one... purple is my favorite color!  That is about all I like about this one though.  It is super super sweet, like, hurt your teeth sweet!  On cold sniff, all I could think of was paint thinner.  When warmed, that scent is still there but not as prominent.  If you like really sweet candy like scents, you might like this though. 

Grape Soda

In the melter today is Grape Soda from CBV. 

This one reminds me of a cross between grape soda and a grape candy.  It is not super fizzy like Fizzy Pop or some of the other fizzy scents but it is still there.  I am not a huge fan of grape scents, but this one is very pleasant.  :) 

Today's Scent

The CBV scent going today is Emperor's Love, a scent from The Candleman's Closet section.  These are dupes of a certain bath product company. 

The description to this one lists lemon, woodland strawberry, rose, hint of lavender, accents of ginger, rare woods and musk.  This is pretty complex because if I didn't read the description first, I don't think I could pick out any of these notes except the musk.  After reading the description, I do get the strawberry a bit and the woods.  Not a big hit with me or Cynthia.. but many people that use the CBV browser have this as a favorite though.  Everyone's nose is different! 

Wanna a Slice of Pie?

If you took a sniff of the air around here, you would think I just made a coconut cream pie!  Today's "burn" is CBV Coconut Cream Pie....

This smells like a really creamy coconut with a hint of the flaky crust.  I am not a huge fan of coconut scents, but this one is really good.  I could also see this being a good mixer scent. 

Short and sweet post today... this is a pretty simple scent.... but really yummy!
