Strawberry Pound Cake

A very foodie-fruity scent, the strawberry is very powerful while the cake brings in some softness. My husband is not a fan of super-sweet bakery stuff and even he loves this! I have to be in a mood for it because it's so strong.

Scent notes: Fresh strawberries, golden shortcake, whipped cream

Seasons: Spring, early summer, maybe early fall

Sweet, fruity, cakey, powerful. 4/5

Pink Velvet Cupcake

I really expected this one to be a super sweet bakery scent, but I think the praline helps ground it. Usually my sugary scents are too much for most people, but Pink Velvet Cupcake got nothing but love! Sweet and noticeable, but not overbearing.

Scent notes: Sparkling red berries, whipped pink marshmallow, sugared praline

Seasons: Spring and winter

Sweet, smooth, fruity. 4.5/5

Candied Violet Sorbet

I'm not usually a floral person but I surprisingly enjoy this one. I think the sweetness and berries make it brighter while the violets make it very soothing. Not very overwhelming, so I wear this in bed a lot. I half expected it to be much sweeter, like an ice cream, but that isn't quite the case here.

Scent notes: Sugared violet petals, vanilla sorbet, blackberry swirl

Seasons: Late spring, early summer, seasons when it's supposed to be cold, but isn't because the south is too hot

Slightly fruity, slightly floral, slightly sweet. Well-rounded and soft. 4/5

Sunrise Woods

I'm always eager to try out new cashmere scents, and fell in love with this in store. It's a bright, slightly fruity-sweet scent, white the woody notes keep it from getting too sweet. Combines some of my favorite scents!

Scent notes: Creamy sandalwood, sweet berries, cozy cashmere

Seasons: Fall, early winter, spring

Very bright, not too sweet, quite woody. 4.5/5

Wicked Vanilla Woods

Very pleasantly surprised with this one. I wasn't able to smell the body cream in-store, but I really wanted it for the packaging! The holo and the bats are just gorgeous. The name implied to me that it could be a sweeter scent, but with the pepper note I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Instead of a sweet sugary scent, this is a deep, warm, peppery scent. Absolutely wonderful - and not what I expected. 

Scent notes: Magical vanilla, glowing amberwood, enchanted pink pepper

Seasons: Late summer, fall, maybe spring

Very warm, not super sweet, the pepper is great. 4/5
