Test Scents - Lakeside- pictures and thoughts~ a sniff and a burn

The torrential rains and high winds last night have completely cleared out all of the snow that has been covering the ground here for some time. All three snowmen, gone. Here in the depths of winter, I forget what the green grass looked like.

I welcome this reminder.  110 days until summer......

Perhaps the rains came last night as some sort of preparation for todays delivery of the newest test scent grouping of candles: Lakeside.




'Da boys of summer have arrived.

There are ten scents in this line and they are available in both the 4oz size and the 14.5oz size (3-wick).  I purchased the 4oz size as the 3 wick sale price had expired the night before and I really didn't want to spend $200.00 on 10 jars of wax I was unsure of. 

I made the name-scent list below as the Sales Associate rang me out and posted it a few days ago as a precursor of fun things to come and perhaps an inspiration should any one else want to call a test store and try them for themselves. The Sales Associate Molly gave me her thoughts and opinions on each and I put them in the {brackets}.

I will write my first impressions of the COLD smell of each as well as the candles color, and label pictures

You will notice the notes read off to me by the SA were pretty exact as posted on the jar.  Who knew high school shorthand would pay off.  ;)   

I will begin with what I expected of this line....I expected some redo's and I think there are.  But I expected with these awesome names some brightly colored inspiring labels and wax colors.  No one wants another summer line of white candles.  Okay, well at least I don't.

I think of summertime as that time of year when you can drag out all of those fun colors....bright colors...beachy colors things to remind you of the heat, less clothes and no snow.

Granted, they don't want to conflict with the tropics colors and trust me....these won't.  ha ha.  My first seeing these thoughts were..... um.....




Boathouse Row- the fragrance of a deep blue water surrounded by notes of moss, sage and bay leaves captures the essence of a lakeside adventure.  {cologne-esque feel}
candle color- hunter green

label picture-

bottom label-
my thoughts- a hunter green building with oars in varying lengths are pictured on this hunter green colored candle.  Definitely cologne scented....and wow.  This smells, to me like the cologne on a very sexy guy.  Stop laughing...it does.  When I lifted the lid, my first impression was that of money...wealth, and sexiness....
I look forward to burning this to see how it throws and if its a headache giver.

Lakeside-  jump into an invigorating blend of fresh water, sheer musk and the  perfect pop of citrus  {light, fresh, kinda like Oceanside but a hint of citrus. clean like beach cabana}

candle color- creamy white

label picture-

bottom label-
my thoughts- three young girls jumping off of a dock into the water is depicted on the picture of this creamy white colored candle...evoking thoughts of summer vacations at the lake. I love the color scale of the picture and would have liked to see the entire line in these hues even though they aren't bright and colorful.   I smell the pop of citrus...aka lemon...reminding me of how my hands smelled earlier today after I waxed my furniture.

Dockside- an airy crisp blend of fresh water, citrus zests and aqua flowers captures the fragrance of being dockside at a summer lake.  {cologne-esque- reminder of paris daydream or sparkling icicles--fresh, clean,  feel heavier in citrus,}

candle color- light tan

label picture-

bottom label-
my thoughts- boats tethered to a dock with a view of the summer house and chairs are depicted in the picture. Touches of red distract you.  Probably because the candles color is odd matching the slats of the dock itself.   Definite redo.  I agree with Molly it smells like a paris/sparkling with a tweek.  I will burn it, but I won't like it.

Strawberry Picnic- a blend of red, ripe strawberries, wild raspberries, and sweet butter cream frosting celebrates the very best part of a picnic by the lake.  {strawberry and cream feel, fresh strawberries and not overly sweet}

candle color- creamy white

label picture-

bottom label-
my thoughts-a clear glass of water holds a bunch of a strawberry plant in this picture for this creamy white candle.  The picture could have been done better....strawberries are not harvested like flower bunches...at least none that I have seen....I would have rather seen them photographed sliced on a vanilla buttercream iced cupcake on a plate in the picnic basket.
 I love the smell of the candle at first sniff.  Buttercream is definite ...strawberry buttercream with a hint if any raspberry.  Quite yummy smelling and one I look forward to rebuying and burning.

Mahogany Teakwood- the luxurious scent of fine woods-mahogany, cedarwood and oak are enlightened by a delicate lavender and geranium notes {tan color, repackaged}

candle color- medium rust

label picture-

bottom label-
my thoughts-  sweet heavens where does summertime come in with this candle?  I see the label depicts a boat, redwood colored...okay, I get it... but this is another very manly scented candle.  I smell the wisp of lavender muting down the cedar.  I don't smell geranium. And the color of the candle is a diluted cedar....  The wick on this one is skimpy to say the least.  I will burn it....and decide if its a re-buy.

Campfire Cookout- gather round the smokey scent of mesquite, woodchips, clove and a

crackling fire.  {very smokey, a lot like fireside, but void of sandalwood can smell the clove}

candle color- that ugly grey color - ash-  like the winter night

label picture-

bottom label-
my thoughts- the picture on the label is of two boats pulled onto the beach at nighttime for a impromptu picnic. The table is set with lanterns and luminaries and you can almost hear the waves over the crackle of the fire.  I guess they were going for a grey scale reminiscent of the ash of a fire when they picked this candles color.  I am not a big fan of black or grey candles....a personal choice perhaps, so that alone would make me pass up this candle without lifting the lid.  It is definitely smoky scented, like wood from a fire burning and someone tossed in a handful of cloves.  ha ha.  At first smell without noticing the labels name it smelled mediciney to me....then I realized it was the cloves.  I look forward to burning it to see how it translates with heat.

Watermelon Lemonade- quench your thirst for long summer days with this refreshing mixture of watermelon ice, sparking water and freshly squeezed meyer lemons.  {awesome,  cool, melony, and tart. pink color}
candle color- medium pink color, fun

label picture-

bottom label-

my thoughts-a mason jar glass filled up with water and a chunk of light pink colored watermelon is the picture on this pink colored candle.  I was anxiously awaiting this candle.  It first reminded me of candy..a watermelon candy or that taste of a well known but I don't want to say ice cream companies Italian icey.  Watermelon is one of those scents that seems to be a problem to accurately nail candle wise.  We are told its watermelon so we tell ourselves that is what we smell.....then they douse it in some sort of citrus and call it ade....Smelling this cold, the watermelon scent is subtle and fleeting, followed up with the lemonade.  I look forward to burning this as I want to see how the two scents are going to separate and come together.  It is also sooooo much better than this springs melon.

Forest Trail- explore the lakeside woods with an aromatic blend of redwood trees, cedar leaves eucalyptus and a hint of wild berries  {pine like feel, woodsy and evergreen}

candle color- muddy green color

label picture-

bottom label-
my thoughts-two Adirondack chairs facing a blue watered lake with tall pine trees in the background is the label picture on this muted down green colored candle.  On this small of a label at first glance without my glasses on, I made myself laugh when I thought the coffee mug, that I now see, on the arm of one of the chairs was a.... ahem... roll of toilet paper.  Hey, its a 4oz candle, the label is small and I didn't have on my glasses.  :)  I love nature and have been in the woods and smelled this scent.  I really do like this scent as it does not remind me of a Christmas candle....but a clean pine like candle.  I look forward to burning it and if it is good, rebuying it.

Summertime Smores- all the sweetness of summers best treat is captured in this blend of roasted marshmallow, crackling campfire and rich creamy vanilla.  {smells a lot like marshmallow fireside a bit more smokey a bit more chocolatey}

candle color- one shade up from the ash grey color more brown in it

label picture-

bottom label-
my thoughts- the yellow, orange red of a fire and pieces of wood is in the forefront of hands with thin sticks roasting marshmallows.  A definite re-do and one we would expect for a summertime / fall themed candle.  Again, not a big fan of the grey- taupe like coloring of the candle....but I smell the wood smoke, vanilla and a hint of the chocolate.  I have always thought of the smokey scents as masculine and I would definitely include this as one.

Wildflower Valley- a fragrant bouquet of poppies, meadow grass and a fresh air reminiscent of a field of wildflowers by the lake.   {kind of floral like southern magnolia, light floral, clean}

candle color- creamy white

 

label picture-

 

bottom label-
my thoughts- the hills are alive...with the sound of music...wait that is a musical....but that is what I thought of when I first saw this blurred out photo of a valley of wildflowers.  At least the candle is white.   Smells like a redo to me....and I will figure out which one as soon as that dang summertime smores leaves my nose palliate.  Very floral.  I didn't get my southern magnolia yet to compare it to what Molly said but it is one of their better done florals as far as I am thinking.  I like my flower scents to hit the mark without the extra end scents so many of theirs do.  I look forward to burning this and if it doesn't make me sneeze...re-buying more.
I find the more they are sitting here on my desk, the more I could find applications for them for my summertime use.  I think the hardest thing to overcome is the thought of bright and associating it with everything summer.  Upon closer look, docks are washed out, fires grey, and forests green.  I am still not getting the mahogany teakwood....but okay....whatever....  :)

Overall, I like this line....and think all but wildflower valley, strawberry picnic and watermelon lemonade are scents I could give my brother to burn.
He likes candles that aren't as he puts it...lady like.   

Each one of these have their own appealing qualities that make them at least worth a sniff and a burn. Even if they are re-dos this time at a lake. I will blog again as soon as I start burning them.
much love.

12 Midnight new trademark

Another new trademark posted......let's wonder and see what this may be.


Hot News! On Wednesday, January 23, 2013, a U.S. federal trademark registration number 85830514 was filed for 12 MIDNIGHT by BATH & BODY WORKS BRAND MANAGEMENT, INC. with the description Personal care products, namely, antibacterial skin soaps and gels, bath gels, bath soaps in liquid, solid or gel form, body balm, namely, body butters, body creams, body lotions, body powder, body scrub, body spray used as a personal deodorant and as fragrance, body washes for humans, bubble bath, cologne, cream soaps for hands and body, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, exfoliant creams, foam bath, foot scrub, hand creams, hand lotions, hand soaps, lip balm, lip cream, lip gloss, lip gloss palette, make-up kits comprised of lip balms, lip creams, and lip glosses, massage oils, perfume, scented body spray, shaving preparations, namely, shaving creams, shaving foams, shaving gels, and shaving lotions, shower gels; fragrance emitting wicks for room fragrance, fragrances for automobiles, room fragrances, room fragrance refills for electric and non-electric room fragrance dispensers, scented linen sprays, scented oils used to produce aromas when heated, scented room sprays, home fragrance oils.

$5.00 small 4oz candle sale coming

Remember what I just said about the "sale" info I get.....

when I say coming soon......what it means......

there is a $5.00 4ounce candle sale coming......

Candle re-dos and re-dont's

I see the Forever Red items are starting to slowly show up again online in preparation for Valentines sales.  I am wondering if in store will have anything extra added to the line.  Online items available went from eight items to twelve, recently re-adding the home fragrance oil,  rollerball edt, rollerball edt/lip combo and lip gloss.  I am still hoping for a red Forever Red candle 3 wick....some day. 

Having picked up my travel sized mists for $10.00 last weekend on sale ($14.50 reg. priced)  and getting my free full sized mist with purchase yesterday, I am pretty well stocked up for now. 

I hope that everyone who loves that scent was able to get a free one.  I did post the "sale" info the night before as I try to do will all sales I find out about. So often it seems that's when I find out about things so check back in the evenings.   And most times when I post...... any day now.... it usually means, Tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, tomorrow I will be getting not only my free FR mist order....wow talk about fast shipping.....but I will also be getting in the Lakeside test scent candles.  And let me say, I am very excited to see and smell those. 

I know with a lot of the test scents I'm presented with, I go in thinking that I am going to end up with a bunch of re-dos or do overs of scents past, re-stickered with that seasons theme....and that tends to cloud my judgement on whether or not I should buy all of them....to give them a try.  A test scent line of ten products can become a bit pricy to try if your not sure you are going to like something.  Especially when they launch after the sale ends.  :)

Granted, that 100% happiness guarantee is in place to make sure that we like the product, but I just feel badly if I need to exchange something I didn't care for after I figured out it was a re-do of a scent....I didn't care for.

I love new scents....bring them on.  But I love the core scents as well....Fresh Balsam, Evergreen, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin to name a few.  The only thing I ever worry about with those is the wicks performance (no one likes a limp wick)  ha ha... and burning issues..... but I Know the scent base is true to my expectations when I buy it. 

So if your going to create a Summer themed line.....like Lakeside... Boardwalk.... whatever.....take a core named product that is loved....say,   suntan....   and keep its name.  Marshmallow fireside...  keep it.  Add it into your list of others.  Summertime conjures up beach like, warm weather like feels......so regardless of the themes name.....your cores scents fit.

Or if you prefer to change the names as the seasons change....how about something like a bounce back scorecard with the candles names on it and if they are our favorites.....re-done. Granted. what we like scent wise one day may change the next and you want us to have the opportunity to perhaps try something we may have scoffed at previously.... But knowing  sure would make testing, easier.

*steps off of her soap box......and awaits her Fed Ex truck with the ten test scents from the Lakeside line..  ;)

much love.

Will America's Sweethearts...be yours?

The newest installment of -additions to the fragrance line-  "America's Sweethearts" is starting to filter in online and should be filtering into stores this weekend if they haven't already.  I did try the try me size of each scent, and for me they are all, okay.....I preferred Daisy Dream girl over the others.....but none truly capture my scent heart.

I saw the bottles styles previewed in the "book" so I knew what each product was going to look like ahead of time....and as I have written time and time again....I am drawn to the marketing and style of it all.  And if something misses that creative mark in me, it's not that easy to get me to part with my money. Call it the Sagittarius in me but that is how I think.   

Well, that and the fact that Forever Red is at the top of my scent list Bath and Body Works wise. 

These seem both in scent and styling to be directed to the younger sect.....teens and tweens....and while I, in no way think 49 is old...I think I seek out different, more mature looking packaging.....

Ha, ha, this coming from the girl with a mickey mouse stamper and two of the seven dwarfs sitting on her desk.  :)

But, I will keep an open mind and go to the store and see in person if these "America's Sweethearts" will be mine....

You should too.
much love.

More sales, $3.00 soap

Here are some more sales.....

and yes the 7 for $20. soap sale is good...but not if you don't want 7.    :)
