    A delicious salty yet sweet scent perfect for winter mornings – wishing this would be released again as there’s nothing else like it on the market!

    Aside from puny wicks at the half-range point, this was a great candle that actually smelled like it’s title!

    While an enjoyable fragrance, this did not throw at all. I’m thinking of returning the others I hoarded…

    A salty yet sweet cocoa fragrance; it’s probably my favorite chocolate scent out there!

    I really enjoyed this gourmand fragrance while it lasted, but it’s unfortunately too similar to Vanilla Cookie Crunch for me to stock up again.

    Peanut Butter Sugar

    An all-time favorite of mine that I believe just sat in my stash for too long. The wax was no longer gooey and seemed much lighter on cold.

    Magic Cookie Bar

    This was INCREDIBLE! A perfectly balanced bakery fragrance that isn’t too heavy on the vanilla or the cocoa.

    Fruity meets bakery in this scent, however it didn’t linger for long.

    An amazing dupe for Chocolate Pistachio on cold, yet it smelled like old gym socks when melting. Such a disappointment.

    In typical wallflower fashion, this was strong when I plugged in but quickly faded to nothing.

    I’ve been working through this for months, mainly because when applied too much of an orange note comes out which I wasn’t a fan of.

    Chai usually has some pretty distinct notes, yet this just smelled like watered down tea tree oil. No thanks.

    This month I burned 8 Candles & 8 Wax Melts!

     

    Every sweet scent that filled my home in February complimented each other so well. I was most surprised by Magic Cookie Bar and let down by Nutty Butter Cookie Bars. My hands-down favorite though was Chocolate Pistachio – I could’ve burned only this for the entire month!
