Lemon Cheesecake:
My Lemon Cheesecake jar is really cute with sugar sprinkles and a large lemon wedge sticking out of the top. I love the look of For Every Body candles, they all look so adorable and are always decorated to match the scent very accurately.
There was no scent description on For Every Body's website to go on but I think I had a pretty good idea what it should smell like. We're talking cheesecake here, how many variations can there be? When I first smelled this candle, it smelled lemony good but I didn't detect any cheesecake scent at all. To be honest, it smelled pretty much like Lemon Crisp or Lemon Cookie. I liked it but if I were to rate it on scent authenticity, it wouldn't pass because I really couldn't smell any cheesecake scent at all. I still liked it simply because it was lemon and smelled good but if you were to buy this candle for the cheesecake factor, you may end up being disappointed.
Back to my candle. I started out lighting two candles in my great-room and found they weren't strong enough to fragrance that huge room. So, as with Lemon Cookie & Lemon Crisp, I ended up moving them down to my family room where the scent strength and throw was perfect. This is a very nice lemon scent but I'm still holding my opinion that it's too close to Lemon Cookie or Lemon Crisp. There really isn't must of a difference between the three.

Lemon Tree:
You would think after burning 3 lemon scents right in a row and starting a 4th, I would be sick of lemon, NOT!! Hello, we're talking my all time favorite scent here. With that said, I personally thought this fragrance was just "okay" All four lemon scents smelled too alike in my opinion and out of all 4, this was my least favorite for some reason. What's weird is it was the biggest candle out of the bunch, 16oz jars and I was burning two in my great-room which is usually plenty. I think because it gave the weakest scent throw out of the bunch. It just didn't have that lemony kick I found in the other three. Here is the scent description on For Every Body's website:
"A light and invigorating scent that's full of summer. Topped with 'powdered' sugar shavings."
I don't know guys, I didn't think it was invigorating at all and I'm a lemon freak to the max. I didn't walk in the room and go, "aaaaah, that smells SOOOO good!" It was just an average lemon scent to me. They do have it right on the light part, this candle gave a light scent throw. I burned two 16oz candles in my great-room and the scent although there, seemed fairly light and not strong enough for my liking.
If I needed a lemon candle in a pinch, I would probably buy it again but I wouldn't pay full price, that's for sure. I think if you want to try any of these scents, I would recommend Lemon Cookie or Lemon Cheesecake. Those were my favorite of the bunch.

Overall Opinion of My Lemon Candles from For Every Body:
Burning four lemon candles for the good of CandleFind was a piece of cake and I gladly sacrificed my nose for this particular comparison. Now whether any of you agree with me is hard to say since we all have different noses and perceptions but I'm pretty sure my nose did a good job.
I have over a dozen For Every Body candles in my inventory I haven't even burned yet so I guess it's safe to say I do like this company. They aren't in my top 5 but they have a great selection and are also readily available to purchase when you need a candle in a pinch so I do recommend this candle line. Ideally, I would go to a Kohl's or a local store that carries this brand and let your sniffer decide since it seems to be hit and miss with these candles. They have some great summer fragrances out right now so now's the time to check em out.
Happy candle shopping everyone.
