First impression of Happy Home:
Happy Home had a cute label that caught my eye the second I saw it. It showed light blue kitchen stoneware sitting on a wooden shelf and backdrop with wooden utensils. The little blurb on the label read, For when the In-Laws come to town, so I’m guessing a clean and fresh scent.
Here is the scent description for Happy Home I pulled from ScentSational’s website:
In laws coming to town? Spruce up your home with Happy Home. Add a little zesty splash to your home mingled with warm vanilla and freshly baked cookies!
Cookies?! What?? I would have never guessed that in a million years. Sniffing the wax, I smelled a kind of light perfume’y scent. I didn’t smell cookies at all but if I do…. YAY!! I love cookies!!
Let’s get to melting!
Melting Happy Home:
I used the entire clamshell pack (3 cubes each) in two electric melters in my great room. Oh how I’m hoping this scent truly does smell like cookies! Once melting, it didn’t take long for the aroma to start moving through my great room and what an interesting scent it turned out to be! Not cookies unfortunately… something else. I’m going to go out on a limb here to say Happy Home smelled like vanilla, perfume and bubblegum. I swear I smelled bubblegum! Reading the scent description again, I’m thinking the warm vanilla is warm vanilla sugar… this scent had a musky sort of vibe to it. It was light but definitely there. I don’t know where the bubblegum is coming from but I swear I smell it. Like sugary pink Hubba Bubba bubble gum. And strangely, it all fit together and smelled pretty darn good. Pink bubblegum meets warm vanilla sugar.
Strength – I would rate Happy Home a 10 out of 10 in any size room. Loved the strength. It was strong but not overpowering. And even though I didn’t smell cookies like I was hoping for, I still liked it. I liked it enough, I plan on going back for more. Definitely give this scent a try if you love musky sort of gourmand type fragrances. It’s a keeper.
Happy Home in a limited addition scent from ScentSational’s so don’t wait too long if you wanted to give it a try. Limited addition scents are only around for a few months and then retire.
Happy melting!
