Love that! Great approach. That fomo feeling can really lead to overbuying. Love that they offer the more sample type sizes to be able to determine if you really love something or not.

Hey Melanie 👋🏼 a lot of these candles from this collection were so different from typical fall scents! Warm and toasty is hands down my favorite! Super super super smoky which is so fun! I’ve burned four of them so far! I’ve got a lot of burning to do before the 11th! 😂❤

Honestly Warm and Toasty is a new profile for me but I am HERE for it. IT is smokey and normally smokey is not my thing but mixed with that toasty sweet marshmallow... PURE heaven!

Hey Melanie, Happy Sunday, so awesome that you got to create your own candle, totally not surprised that it's a pomander scent. I'd love to try all of these scents and the first one I would do is White Birch & Rain. Fresh scents whether they're minty or have eucalyptus in them are always good. Happy sniffy sniff. Too da loo. Btw, enjoying Goose Creek's sooty Watermelon Lemonade, good scent.

I am still in summer scent mode (fall is my favorite season ) not ready to burn full on fall till late Aug/Sep . Right now I want fresh clean but I did place an order for some of the fall to burn later. Ordered Blueberry Scone, Warm and Toasty, the Birch one, pomander one, and the Kitten label one. I do prefer foodie/bakery in late fall. Late summer/ early fall I still like a little fresh. So happy with the selection! Thanks for your first impressions! Very helpful!

Kittens and cashmere snelling green and herbal is certainly odd. I was expecting a powdery amber, vanillic cashemere type of scent 🤔 That bourbon apple and oud, warm and cozy and maple woods sound awesome. 👀 Amber person here 🙋🏻♀️ its without a doubt my favorite scent note

I am actually doing pretty good this year finishing up my backup stash. I just filmed an update yesterday to go up next week at some point. It also helped that I pulled back on buying backups and backups in the last couple of years. THAT is what got me in trouble. My new approach of a max of 2 for my holy grails at any given time helps a lot. I was buying 8-10 of my faves in the past. Changing my buying habits has helped immensely. I am so excited to get to the end of year to be able to move everything into one closet.

I LOVE your pomander scent MUCH better than this Pinecones & Pomander. This one is way too astringent for my nose. Everyone but me says they smell citrus, but I get too much “cat pee tree” in it🤦🏼♀️😂
@MrKongsMom3 ай бұрын
REALLY? I have your video on my watch list. Wanted to film mine before watching any others so I wouldn't be influenced haha. I am surprised we don't feel the same about that one. We usually share so many similarities. But like we always say, noses can really vary. I just saw a comment on Brett's video that my collab candle smelled like Tang. That was obviously not my goal and I am surprised that would be the takeaway because of the amount of clove in there but all noses pick up different variations in the notes. Clove can be tricky so we went through several variations with different levels of clove. At any rate, totally do appreciate the feedback tho because it is so interesting to see how people interpret scents. I already want to repurchase the pinecones and pomander lol.

I think the pomander could go either way. Fall or Holiday. I will use it for both myself. There is no real oud to my nose on cold. I think I am getting more of that Tonka and Amber on cold. But that oud may come out when burning potentially. I will of course update!

So in summary, it sounds like you like the Pomander and Blueberry Scone candles on cold stiff...any others? Although I know you want to burn the candle at least 1/3 of the way before reviewing the candle, could you give us a first impression video of the ones you're on the fence with since they are released this Thursday?
@MrKongsMom3 ай бұрын
I probably won't have time to film that before the release. There are number I really like. The automatic likes are: Blueberry Scone, Pomander, Warm and Toasty, Pumpkin Run Toddy and almond butter cookie. The rest are one's that I will need to burn. There's quite a bit of maple here which is hard for some so I want to see how those do while burning. These will be out for a while so if you are at all on the fence, you will have lots of time to snag them ❤️
