Scented Candles

Hubby and I have been burning through a bunch of scented candles so I thought I'd post about them.

First up was this Capri Blue Scented Candle in a 226g/8oz Tiffany blue glass jar with a metal lid. The scent was Volcano. This candle was all bark and no bite. The fragrance was a sweet tropical fruit punch and was on the strong side. However, once lit the fragrance disappeared and I could hardly smell anything at all. Either way, it was ok while it lasted, and it didn't last very long at all! Will not repurchase.

Trina Turk Scented Candles

Here's something both hubby and I love that I discovered by accident: these Trina Turk 3-Wick Scented Candles. I bought Birchwood first as a cart-filler, then came right back and nabbed Harvest Moon because Birchwood was a hit. Then I went totally crazy and grabbed another, like, half a dozen other scents from Amazon because Harvest Moon was even better than Birchwood. Holy moly, these candles are hands down the best scented candles hubby and I have ever owned!

Voluspa Candles Part II

I picked up these large 397g/14oz. jars of Voluspa Two Wick Glass Candles from Nordstrom during the winter of 2020 I think. They were cart fillers because I thought the etched glass jars were pretty, and they were. From the description of the fragrances, I chose two I thought hubby and I might like: Panjore Lychee and Japanese Plum Bloom.

Voluspa Candles

During Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale I picked up two sets of Voluspa Two-Wick Tin Candle Trios, a Maison Blanc and a Maison Noir. I'd been looking for candles to decorate my new home with and these caught my eyes with the colorful tins.

Bottega Veneta Perfumed Shower Gel

I forgot where I got this 30mL/1fl. oz. sample bottle of Bottega Veneta Perfumed Shower Gel from, but I just finished using it so here's a short review.

Perfumes etc.

On my quick visit home I had a chance to go through my moving boxes and found a few interesting item ^.^ I ended giving these away to my mum because she loves perfumes and I don't care much for them, but I thought I'd post these pictures anyway :)

One of the items was the Versace Pour Femme Coffret Set, which was a Sephora Insider 100-points deluxe sample I believe. Either way, I thought I was going to use it, but obviously it ended up being forgotten :( Oh well, at least it is being appreciated now.

Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Noir Scented Body Lotion

I had a whiff of Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Noir at the store a while back and thought it smelled light enough for me to endure in a lotion. So when I got this GWP tube of Noir Scented Body Lotion, I thought I'd give it a try.

Well, turns out the lotion is pretty strongly fragranced. I tolerated for the first couple of times used and then I couldn't stand it shortly after ^.^ I knew there was a reason I don't like perfumed lotions. In comparison to just scented lotions, they're really something else! The lotion itself is okay, nothing special and even a bit sticky. It feels pretty smooth though, I will give it that, but otherwise it's just a regular lotion.
