I received my very first tart vendor order today. I was so very excited about it. I kept hitting refresh on the Click N Ship tracker thingy. All while neurotically looking out the sliding glass door for the mail lady. When she did come I ran downstairs to get my package and call the dogs off. She asked why the box smelled so good. I told her what was in it while running up the stairs. I only had about 20 until I had to leave for work. I wasn't even all the way in the door before I was ripping the box apart. I didn't even notice until after I checked everything out that the box was damaged in transit. The tarts were fine so no worries there. My unboxing video was filmed in a hurry and I ran off to work with visions of waxiness danced in my heads. And lingered on my hands. My husband texted me while I was at work to tell me that he had smelled everything and he liked them.
Any damn way...here goes my cold throw reviews...
Dragon's Blood -- it's very heady, like being in a head shop. It reminded me of the cab we took when we were in Jamaica in June. It had Bob Marley playing on repeat. This one is for my mom. 4/5 strength for cold throw.
Patchouli -- smells like incense. Reminds me of hippies. It's not exactly like the patchouli my mom used to burn when I was little but it's close. This one is for my mom too. 4/5 for cold throw.
Nag Champa -- Kim left me a note on my invoice that she was waiting on the oil for this so I'll have it next week.
Gain -- not spot on but close. Very soapy, very clean. 3/5
Pomegranate -- through the bag this smells perfect, inside the bag there is something spicy that I hope goes away when I melt it. 4/5
Heavenly -- VS Dream Angels dupe. I don't think I've smelled the original but I get the rose and jasmine. It's very nice, soft and perfumey. 3/5
Mid Summer Nights -- clean, soapy, masculine. I REALLY like this one. 4/5
Twilight Woods -- I'm so glad I accidentally double ordered this one. I love this. I smell the cypress and something floral. Not incredibly strong. A good bedroom scent. 2/5
Shampure Aveda -- I didn't know what to expect with this. All I get is licorice and I don't like it. 4/5 for throw. Though ill probably give this one away.
Montego Bay -- initial smell is earthy, like dirt. Then I get an incense type smell. It's pleasant. 3/5
High Maintenance -- hope it lives up to how strong it's supposed to be because I really like this one. It's fun, fruity and floral. 2/5 cold.
Stormwatch -- rain, definitely. And oceans. Smells like salt water. 3/5
Lick Me All Over -- I smell this in my lap. It smells like Big League Chew. I'm sure the other fruits will come out when warmed. 5/5 very strong.
Pink Sands -- had a Yankee votive on hand. YC smell more like sunscreen. This one is more musky. I prefer this one to the YC one. 4/5
Butterfly Hugs -- I actually almost didn't get this one. I'm glad I did. I think it's my favorite. So floral and sweet. 4/5
Chanel No 5 -- never smelled the original. Very powdery and definitely perfumey. Strong but smells like a fashionable granny. 4/5
Southern Man -- very masculine, a little citrusy. Rugged. I think it's my second favorite. Hope it's stronger when it melts. 3/5
Fruit Loops -- this was my last minute add which I don't regret. Orange and lemon and cereal are on top. My husband texted me at work and told me he ate them all. He approved. 4/5
Abercrombie Fierce -- the scent description is spot on. A more masculine scent. Love it. 4/5.
Kim also left me a note that my Love&Luck would be here next week as well. I'm excited about that and the Nag Champa. Other than that my order for Macintosh Apple was missing buy I did let Kim know on Facebook. She was kind enough though to include 5 sample tarts. Which was fabulous. And unexpected.
Key Lime Pie -- Kim was kind enough to send me 2 tarts in this scent. It's not something I'd purchase on my own. It's nice and I'll surely melt it. I may not repurchase. It was very distinct lime and pie notes. 3/5
Sugar Corn Pudding -- I hate food scents. This is king of nutty and bready. If I melt it I will put it in the kitchen. 3/5
Eternity -- this was actually on the list for my next order. Not overly perfumey. I get lemongrass maybe? 3/5
Pink Sugar -- I love this! I see what the hype is about. Almost like a birds of paradise type scent. 3/5
That's what I got! Yay. I was so happy it came and I'll be placing another order on Friday. Possibly with Kim but I'm plotting orders for other vendors. Haley's Heavenly Scents maybe. Or Granny's Kountey Candles.
Do you like clean scents? If so, what is your favorite? Who is your go-to vendor? What vendor do you know of that has a deal going on now? Any other advice? Let me know what you think of my order and reviews. Unboxing video should be up tomorrow. Do NOT quote me on that though. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow and that usually ruins my day. Plus I have to work. Blah. Have a good night folks.
