EDELWEISS - 
Scent strength : Strong

I had one scalloped tart melting in an electric warmer in a med-large room and it scented the room and went down the hallway. It is best described as floral and spa-like. I've never smelled a real edelweiss before to comment on authenticity.

FROSTED PUMPKIN
Scent Strength: Medium/Moderate 

I had one scalloped tart melting in an electric warmer in a large room. The first hour or two was a great complex scent. I did not detect any citrus but did pick up the frosting and spices scent which to me was a toned down cinnamon, but I think it was supposed to be nutmeg. I normally do not like cinnamon scents but liked this one so it probably was a nutmeg. Only disappointment was that the complex scents did not last for very long...maybe a couple of hours before tapering off to a background scent of nutmeg/cinnamon. I would try it again though. Would like to see if I can smell the pumpkin next time.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
Scent strength: LIGHT

I had a scalloped tart melting in a tealight burner in a large room. This scent unfortunately did not smell like german chocolate cake to me. I was expecting to smell chocolate or coconut but it really did not smell like either. Maybe this tart was off...not able to describe the scent. Had it melting for a few hours to see if it would change.

BALSAM SANDLALWOOD 
Scent Strength: STRONG

This is a great scent. I had a single scalloped tart melting in a tealight burner. It starts off super strong and eventually tapers to strong in a large room. To my nose this version of the sandalwood versions is more masculine than say Vanilla Sandalwood or Sweet Sandalwood, both which I find to me more feminine.

MIMOSA BREEZE
Scent Strength: Light to Moderate

I had a single tart melting in an electric warmer in a large room and it lasted for several hours. Scent is best described as a refreshing light scent that is a combination of unusual floral and possibly an unsweetened coconut. Good daytime fragrance.

BEAR CLAWS
Scent Strength: Moderate to Strong

I had a single tart melting in an electric warmer in a large room and it lasted for 5-6 hrs at that strength. It is best described as a warm bakery scent with a nutty note to it and lingers for a little while afterwards.

BLUEBERRY PUMPKIN BREAD
Scent Strength: STRONG

This is another strong scent. Had it in from 8AM and it is almost 4PM now and I can still smell it. The two scents compliment each other perfectly.

I LOVE pink musk! This smelled similar to pink chiffon but better. Sweeter and more perfumey in a good way. Very strong and lasted all day. This scent could definitely do a large area.

I LOVE pink musk! This smelled similar to pink chiffon but better. Sweeter and more perfumey in a good way. Very strong and lasted all day. This scent could definitely do a large area. Surreal was also strong but a more mellow scent. It was salty and herbal and very relaxing. Filled a small bedroom with scent all day.

STRAWBERRY ZUCCHINI BREAD (CC)

Hi Cheryl 

This one is really nice and strong and has lasted from 8AM to 2PM and I can still smell it. Nice combination of fruit and spice.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS CAKE
Scent Strength: Light

I had a small tart melting in a tealight burner in a very small powder room and the scent was just enough to scent the small room. It starts off as a vanilla type of cake with a gelatin mixed note. Which means that to me it smells like there are some almonds as gelatin that I'm familiar with had an almond extract in it. After a couple hrs it smells like straight up vanilla bunny cakes.

MYSTERIOUS BERRIES (CC):
Scent Strength: STRONG

This scent is an unusual fruit scent and along with the berries is a citrusy scent as well. To my nose the citrus dominates over the berries but I am extremely sensitive to citrus scents to begin with. I had a single scalloped tart melting in an electric warmer and this scent goes into more than one room from the large room it was located in.

CARIBBEAN:
Scent Strength: Moderate

I had a half of a single scalloped tart melting in an electric warmer in a large room where it was a moderate strength. When I moved it to a slightly smaller room it was more noticeable. To me it reminds me of a coconut scent similar to suntan lotion. There was also a "warm sweetened milk" scent as well...at least to this nose.

Pumpkin Pecan Waffles BBW Type:
Scent Strength: STRONG

I have a single mini donut tart melting in an electric warmer and it is scenting up a large room very well after you let it go for a couple of hours. Its a delicious sweet scent that immediately puts to vision waffles and something sweet. I do not smell the pumpkin but the BBW version for which this is a duplicate for is the same way so I'd say its an exact match.

Mystique (CC)
Scent Strength: STRONG
Testing Reviews

Testing by Cheryl: I placed Mystique in my 20 or 24 watt warmer about 5 P.M. It is in my master bedroom, which is quite large with walk-in closet and bath that are also fairly large and both doors are opened. OMG! So far am really loving it! It is lingering throughout all three areas and so very well. I'm keeping it in the warmer until it burns completely out with scent. I absolutely love it! Not as strong as it was in beginning but has this lingering affect, which makes me want to keep it going. NEXT DAY: Must say I am loving the "Mystique". Over 30 hours and still lingering throughout. About time to switchover though,as is starting to grow faint, yet still smells so relaxing and great. 

Testing by E.V: OMG! Cheryl. You weren't kidding when you said this was STRONG! I first smell something spicy like peppercorn. Then I get something musky like a men's cologne. Then I smell salty air like the beach or something. Very relaxing and different.

I put tart in a 24 watt electric plate wrmer and started in the bathroom and it was very strong. Then I noticed I could smell it coming through the bathroom door into the main house so I opened door and you can also smell it in the large room. I am smelling this throughout the house now. SO AMAZING!

Fantabulous Brûlée

You have another winner here. Just as strong as Mystique. I smell the berries first and then a creamy caramel. Very comforting. Could be good for both winter and summer months because of the fruitiness. I really like this one.

I have been burning your strawberry tarts for 3 days never from a vendor did I get that long a scent and I burn maybe 5 hours each day.

Thank you for the strong scents, I am very happy with your candles
