Flirty February Fragrances

I thought Tuscadero's "Kokomo" that I melted yesterday was one of the best scents I ever smelled, but today, burning Tuscadero's "Indian Paintbrush" I am in scent heaven. I am not a big foodie scent person but I do like spicy type smells -- although this one says on the scent list it is a musky floral w/ roses and sagebrush and I usually do not like rose. But this scent is very different, rich and spicy and carries far and I love it. Kokomo and Indian Paintbrush are definitely going to be reorders.

Oddly too, like Candlefan and Dabba and MJC I am also buring a YC in Autumn Leaves in my kitchen the last few days.I hadn't had a chance to burn it much last Fall, before I switched to Christmas scents and I am enjoying it now. Have a great day everyone.

YC Christmas Eve and YC Sparkling Cinnamon on 2 different warmers

Today in my office is Nene's Cinnamon Frosting. It's a very light scent, but at least it's not predominately cinnamon which I usually smell in these types! Not a whole lot of throw, but again...a light scent.

 

Happy Friday all!

Patsy - Thanks for the description of Indian Paintbrush. It really sounded interesting to me until I got to the roses part and then I ran since I don't like rose smelling tarts

....but think maybe I will put it on the list for my next Tuscadero's order. The name is so intriguing, I think.

I, too, wanted to thank you, Patsy, since I have an order on the way with that scent in it and it's the only one on my order I was fretting about. Now, I'm even MORE anxious to get it!

To Be and Send:

I still have the Indian Paintbrush burning and I swear, since the beginning, I have not smelled any rose smell whatsoever, despite it being in the scent description. The scent (to me) is just spicy and lovely and I think it is the sage that is making it so and the floral must just cut through the sage strength somehow to soften it?

The other thing I am struck by, both yesterday and today, is how pretty and vivid the colors are of the Kokomo (peachy) and Paintbrush (light violet color) tarts. The way Sandy packed them, in pretty cellophane bags - I swear, a couple of those bags filled with tarts and a good tart warmer would make such an attractive bridal shower or new home gift for someone.

I haven't tried Indian Paintbrush by that brand, but I used to have a candle from Bridgewater in that scent and it was great! Really complex scent.

 

Today I have Indonesian Ginger in the living room and Willow Breeze in the bedroom.

Hi Jason --

"Complex" is the perfect word to describe the Indian Paintbrush scent.

I got some Indonesian Ginger tarts at YC in the fall and loved them. Thanks for the reminder. I have some YC coupons that must be used before Feb. 24th and think I will pick more tarts up in that scent when I go in to the Boston store next week.

I have Indian Paintbrush coming from Tuscaderos, so I am happy to hear it is a good one. Rose scents are not to my liking, either, but I had the feeling that this would not be a true rose smell.

 

Melting Bella's Brooklyn Biscotti this afternoon.

Bizzy B's Sugared Pie Crust and Tart Green Apple for the evening. Hope everyone will enjoy their upcoming weekend.

Dumped Harvest Spice and am now melting Grazia's Orange Chiffon Cake. I'm very pleased that it's light on the orange. Wonderful bakery scent!

I have my pumpkin crunch cake candle from cobblestone burning right now, and it smells heavenly!

I'm melting Can-do's very cherry in the kitchen, my wal-mart cinnabon candle by the computer and a blueberry muffin candle by a local vendor in the den.

miss - the Pier 1 specials - I have only seen candles. Are they votives?

these were $10 6 oz candles in a frosted drinking glass tumbler with a Christmas tree painted on the outside...they were 90% off, right at the front cash register

 

that kind of sale is embarrassing

Gosh I have run the gambit with scents today. I have left the Hazlenut Cappucino from Cobblestone on all day-it is still going-wonderful!

 

I have changed the DR scents 3 times- had the Breathe Clear in-it did its job so I dumped it(eucalyptus doesn't really connect with coffee )

Bought a new tart basket today-so I was organizing tarts and found a partial clamshell from K's-decided to use the rest of it-Snow Angels-zip!Nada! nothing-poured it out and now have Banana Nut Bread by Grazia on.

 

I usually don't go for Banana scents,but this one is good. It is more bakery than banana and complements the coffee nicely.

I bought a YC Home Again Banana Pudding 14 oz jar candle at TJ Maxx for $7.50 and I just love it

 

I think it is retired, and YC has a new banana flavor...the old banana works for me.

Little Black Dress from Cozy Cottage is too perfumey. I'm going to dump it in a minute.

I didn't get much scent throw from Arts & Hearts Blueberry, so I added it to Crosscreek's Apple Crisp, then started Blueberry Muffin from Crosscreek in the living room...yum!

Caribbean Pear from Crosscreek is divine - good pear scent with hint of spice. Very good scent throw.

Flannel Sheets from Cozy Cottage - very nice, clean. Good scent throw.

[debra99 2]

Buckeye's Love Spell in the BR, Dreamtarts Misty Melon in the living room. It has just started, so I don't know much about what makes the melon misty yet.

Burned some wonderful stuff today as described earlier. Had a great smelling home.

What's up for tomorrow?

Melting Bella's cocnut spumoni in my room..This is sooo strong I may need to change it to a larger area... Orange juice cake by LOL in my living room...

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Tonight it's Crosscreek's Birthday Cake upstairs (DD's b-day is soon), along with Cinnamon Nutmeg from CFTKR in the living room, and YC Vanilla Cupcake and Crosscreek's Twinkies in the family room.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

I put on LOL’s Pink Sugar Mon’ Sherry, tonight. It smells great, but is definitely the girliest scent I’ve ever melted. Whatever shred of masculinity I had left has melted away right along with this tart!
