This is part two of my March Sniff My Tarts order. If you missed and are interested in part one, you can find it here.
The inconsistent first picture is the last one I took during my weekend in Las Vegas, the others were taken yesterday.
-2- a nice fruity sweetness with a touch of tart. the rainbow sherbet is in the forefront.
-3- another favorite! I love, love love the lemon sugar + fresh fruit and serendipity. Great blend if I do say so myself.
-4- some extra berry to go with a very strong chicks dig it.
-2- a perfect combination of the two. If I could choose the perfect laundry scent for my clothes, this would be it.
-3- no surprise that this has a very strong dryer sheet vibe. Better than almost every dryer sheet I've ever tried.
-4- I missed the mark here. A little too dry and bitter because of the tuberose.
-2- the bundt cake gives the lemon a perfect amount of creamy bakery but I'm not sure what I think of the sun ripened raspberry on cold sniff. I have a feeling this will melt very well though.
-3- YES! this blend makes me silly giddy. I want to share it with the fruity scent loving world.
-4- I love this one too! Peach is not a scent I gravitate to in wax but SMT does it so darn good. This is one of the most realistic smelling blends ever. A peach milkshake to the T.
-2- I would grade this one an 'A'! It's slightly sour with sweet and creamy still coordinating with the raspberry lime perfectly.
-3- Think sweet tarts.
-4- I get a perfume vibe, something that could be sold as a lotion and body spray at Bath and Body Works. It's cute, this blend.
MISC SHAPES
-2- I had to make sure I didn't pick up the pink butter cookie bag when I took a whiff of this blend. I smell pink in here. Very little cinnamon, if any. Interesting.
-3- almost has a citrus-y spin. very heavy on the pink sugar.
-2- the serendipity is pretty heavy on the almond for this one. I'm not getting too much more than almond.
-2- very, very strong cereal blend.
-3- the lavender is way too herbal for my taste. It's not that I mind herbal lavender, it's just that I wanted this lavender to be sweeter and smoother. It doesn't go badly with the marshmallow cake, it just overpowers it.
-4- this blend is adorable. At first, I thought I got a very faint plastic undertone but after re-sniffing a few times, I think it's the freesia. I can't wait to melt this.
The last one is a half sheet in Strawberry Pretzel Desert. I usually get my sheets undecorated but I'm glad I splurged on one just to see how realistic some of the imbeds are, like that pretzel. At my hungriest, I would be tempted to eat that. It looks exactly like the chocolate covered pretzels that I am now craving.
That concludes one of my biggest orders to date. I absolutely love SMT. I love the scent list, I love the variety of shapes and I love the performance.
My order took six months to arrive and not everything throws like a winner but I'm okay with that. I'm patient for wax and my experience with the performance is mostly great with some good and a few misses.
I still put SMT in the Order When You Can list.
I'm so happy I have this haul up and away. Now I can start to melt them.
Who have you been impressed with lately?
I was impressed with that Swan Creek pack of tarts hubby got the other day. I honestly expected it to be a total dud, but it proved me wrong.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, nothing has jumped out at me lately. I keep melting things just to work through me stash, but none of it is impressing me. *sigh*

I feel the same way about strawberry pretzel dessert. Well maybe a bit more negative. You are willing to melt it. Awesome order!
ReplyDeleteImpressed with SMT actually. Good throw on my new stuff. Also loving my RG and TDC.
Absolutely gorgeous order! I agree that SMT can be inconsistent but when it's good, it's some of the best wax in town. I saw you did a few sun ripened raspberry blends! They used to have a scent called just "ripened raspberry" and it was the best raspberry scent I've ever smelled. Sadly, it was discontinued by the supplier. I mistakenly ordered something in sun ripened raspberry a few orders ago and was met with an unfamiliar, perfumey aroma. I never could figure out how to blend SRR correctly, but your Pink Sugar/SRR sounds amazing! Definitely adding it to the list for next time! Enjoy your goodies girl <3
ReplyDeleteAs far as what I've been loving lately, I've been insanely impressed with Tiffany Candles soft wax blend, which she makes the chunklets and blend-a-bags in. I've even had a few scents in the soft wax that have lasted 48+ hours in an 18-watt hotplate. Also have been loving CFTKR and FP for holiday scents. I'm all about pines and mints lately!
@Julie - no melting of just a little bit of strawberry pretzel dessert? I can't say I blame you. :) I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your recent TDC!
ReplyDelete@Jacqui - Ripened Raspberry sounds like what my mind was imagining when I plugged in SRR for these blends. It's so refreshing to hear that you picked up a perfume-y note in it as well.
Tiffany Candles, you say. I have only tried their loaves but that's going to change soon because of your recommendation--thank you!
@Deb - That is so great that you enjoyed the Swan Creek, although, if I remember correctly the price was a bit steep. But like you said, it would be a great holiday gift from the hubby to you :)
ReplyDeleteThe Swan Creek stuff was $5.95 and it's a larger pack, 6 oz., so that's not too horrible. I mean, they're not super awesomely fantastic or anything but they better than I was expecting.

Beautiful! I have yet to try them, and wasn't able to do an order this time, but this inspires me to try next time!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, colorful order!! Lime/watermelon/blue raspberry slush, YUM! You are so creative blend-ly. Peaches/vanilla/cotton candy! Delish! Their TAT doesn't bother me anymore because they are definitely worth the wait. :)
