It's Beginning To Smell A Lot Like... Christmas Tree Cakes? A Little Debbie Candle Review
Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Candle
According to the website:
What it smells like:
A comforting blend of warm, lightly baked, buttery cake notes combined with sweet, creamy vanilla and the essence of holiday spirit.
Prominent scent notes:
Buttery Cake, Whipped Vanilla & Sweet Creamy Icing
My Review:
First of all, the packaging is spot on! It looks like they took a box and used it as the wrapper on the candle. The glass jar and lid felt very sturdy and high quality. Upon the intial sniff test, prior to lighting it, I felt like it smelled like vanilla. And I don’t mind the smell of vanilla, but I was hoping it was closer to smelling more like the cakes! But I decided I needed to light it to get the full effect. And it’s definitely not just straight vanilla!
Even though I’m not usually a fan of sweet scents, I actually really like this. And it’s true… the scent quickly filled my living room, dining room, and kitchen! I feel like it definitely has more of a vanilla cake scent than I originally thought. And the scent fills the large space, but without being overpowering! Definitely happy with this purchase!
Cozy Autumn Cuddle
According to the website:
What it smells like:
Feel rested with a book in hand, nestled beneath woven blankets. So cozy!
Prominent scent notes:
Vanilla Woven Blankets, Amber Cream, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Madagascar Vanilla
My Review:
I haven’t lit this one yet. And honestly, I don’t quite know why I chose this one. The website has SO many various scents to choose from… I guess this was just one of the first ones I saw that grabbed my attention. It was my full price item that I got 60% off.
I wasn’t sure if it would have a pumpkin scent or not. I honestly didn’t look at the prominent scents. But upon first sniff, I am a fan! I like sandalwood and cedarwood… so this is a great combo! I will have to light it up to get the full effect, but just in the jar, it smells really good!
Aromatherapy Scents
My Review:
These two scents are part of the Goose Creek Aromatherapy Line. They are smaller, at just 7.5 ounces and only have one wick. Both of them smell really good. I think the Tranquil one will work perfect to help relax at night or in a hot bath. And I feel like the Soothe one will be great when those allergy or cold symptoms roll in with the cooler air this fall.
I haven’t lit either one of these, but based on the scent from the jars, I think I’ll really like them too. And the scents definitely match what the labels have on them!
