Sarah S Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 OMG you guys!!!!!!!! I picked up an order of wax and FOs from Candlewic on Friday, and they gave me samples of all 9 new fragrances for free!!! *swoon* Totally unexpected, and they must think I'm some kind of madwoman because I literally danced for joy out of that warehouse!! I haven't put any of them in anything yet, because I was out of town, but I will give you my OOB opinion and report back with actual product results later. So, in no particular order: Honeysuckle & Thyme - strange combination, didn't smell like honeysuckle or thyme to me. Strong floral-ish with a woody base. This one might bloom when diluted in wax, it was pretty strong OOB. Lavender Chamomile - interesting interpretation of this classic scent. More chamomile than lavender to my nose, not champhoric (I think I just made that word up!) like other lavenders, but also not powdery like a baby version. Really reminded me of a chamomile tea almost. I can't decide what I want to put this in, but it will likely be soap. Lemongrass & Ginger - lemongrass. Maybe the ginger will come forward in wax, I'm willing to give it a try, because this was very nice OOB. Sequoia & English Oak - whole lotta wood! A warm bottom to it, the fragrance description says tonka, and I would have said tonka or amber. It's a mellow wood, almost more like a teakwood than a fresh cut wood. I like it, and I'm going to try it in melts for my office. I need a "neutral" scent and this fits the bill. Fleur de Soleil - despite the fancy name, this is pretty boring OOB. Just a floral. Meh. A little more resinous than other florals, I personally would blend this with something like sandalwood or musk, but I'm not a floral girl, lol. The fragrance description has a lot of different notes, so maybe I'm not picking up on the complexity OOB. Zucchini Blossom - this is WONDERFUL OOB!!! I am seriously torn between testing it in wax vs soap, because it would be awesome in either. Green, leafy, fresh, a slight hint of damp earth, it's like the perky sister of Tomato Leaf. Fingers crossed, I hope it performs well!! Olive Leaf & Moringa - ok, don't laugh, but I had to Google moringa, and I'm still not sure what it's supposed to smell like. This oil didn't smell like much of anything OOB. Kind of green, maybe a little floral, it was just kind of blah to me, but maybe it would appeal as a spa scent. Sycamore Sage - doesn't smell like sage. However, it does smell awesome! The fragrance description is all over the place with marine notes, sage, rose, patch, sycamore bark... It is a very nice complex and sensual fragrance that would appeal to anyone who love earthy scents, resinous scents, or herbal scents. This one is lovely enough OOB that I might just hoard it for my lotions and perfumes. Salt Cavern - great interpretation of the salt trend! To me this is a dry salt with a warm bottom. Not an ocean-y scent OOB, but the faintest tang of marine air is there. Definitely going in wax ASAP, I like this one a lot, and I think the dry salty notes will complement some of the more flowery spring candles I have going right now. After I've had a chance to test a few of these, I'll try to post in the review forum. Man, I just keep falling behind with so many oils to post about! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 OMG Sarah are you ever awesome at giving descriptions! I can't do one to save my soul! Well, none of them appeal to me and I don''t order from Candlewic anyway so it's no loss for me. Good luck with getting them done and coming back and giving us more reviews!

earthfriendly Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Sarah, thank you for the reviews. I didn't receive an email from them so maybe they're planning on sending them out on Monday. I also went to their website and they aren't up yet. I'll check tomorrow. Edited April 28, 2019 by earthfriendly punctuation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I thought the same as Trapp. I’m jealous of people who can describe scents. I’m kinda yes I like it or no I don’t So it is useless for me to share reviews. I think most of them sound pretty good! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
