Crabby Candle Co/Dutch Candle Co Round Robin

Hello again!

Today I have another vendor RR to share, and this time it was hosted by John, the owner of Crabby Candle Co/Dutch Candle Co. There were I think 5 or 6 boxes going around between about eighteen girls, and I was first up for box #3! I don't show my put backs for RR's since it's done and over, so let's take a took at what I took out, shall we? *Note: Jeff has been getting into wax more lately, and helped pick out some of these. I'll let you know which ones are his :P*

1 ounce scent shots

Citrus Bubblegum: A really unique blend, I've never seen this from any other vendor! It smells so sweet and awesome, I get the realistic bubblegum scent in there along with a nice citrus note. Really fun!

Blue Lime: I mostly get a crazy strong, almost sickeningly sweet lime note in here, but not much of anything else. I wonder if the blue is supposed to be blue sugar? I was intrigued so I had to snag this one.

Pink Peppermint: I didn't avoid snagging the classic go-to scents either. This one is pretty self explanatory. 

Sweet Potato Pie: This is a Jeff pick! This is my first sweet potato pie scent, and I love it! A spicy, sweet bakery scent. Really, really yum!  I can't wait to melt this one!

Lime Bubblegum: Another really unique bubblegum blend I'd never smelled before! Really nice and strong. I love getting introduced to blends that are new to your nose!

Bailey's In Bed: Another Jeff pick! This not only smells like Bailey's Irish creme, but it also smells like a nice, sweet coffee scent as well. This will be a great morning melt!

Raspberry Lemonade: This is one scent I didn't get a chance to snag during Carol's reopening, so I'm happy to have a chance to try it out now! Really tart, fresh, and citrus-y. Yum!

Apple & Clover: I really like apple scents, and this one is really nice! There were a lot of apple scents in the box, so I thought I'd take one.

Serendipity: This is an absolute favorite scent EVER for me, so this was a no brainer! John's serendipity scent is really, really nice!

2 ounce scent shots

Hello, Sugar!: I was really, really excited that this was in the box! I got this as a sample from Carol a while back and fell in love. A nice, sugary lemon scent. Almost clean, mostly bakery. YUM!

Blueberry Cheesecake: This was a Jeff pic! John's blueberry cheesecake is crazy good, crazy strong, and nice and creamy! Bonus? I LOVE the tie dye look to the scent shot!

Fruity Rings: Nothing special to this scent, but you know me and fruit loops scents! I can't get enough! 

Pink Lemon Squares: This is hands down my favorite scent from John, so I was banking it all on there being a 2 ounce scent shot in there! Thank goodness there was! This scent is so perfect and so strong. LOOOOOOVE.

Little Squares

Day At The Spa: I took this box out of the mail with a gift in mind, these clean spa scents aren't really my thing at all.

Adam & Eve: I'm learning that I actually really like blue sugar scents! This is a GREAT blend of pink and blue sugar. LOVE! I need more of these blends for SURE!

Fruity Skittles: John's Skittles scents is simply amazing, it smells just like a freshly opened bag of the famous candy. This one is really, really great!

Apple Mango Tango: Another Jeff pic! I have a sample of this Gain scent from Carol as well and I really enjoy it! Very strong on cold!

Blue Sugar: I need more blue sugar in my life. Plain and simple!

Have a great day!

Crabby Candles/ Dutch Candle Company haul #1

Why hello there!

Today I have another vendor I'm trying for the first time, Crabby Candles/ Dutch Candle Company. I saw Jacqui's haul and HAD to have Skittles and Jelly Beans! I placed this order with those in mind, and I got so many more I fell in love with as well! I actually just placed my second order with John, I found one of my favorite bakery scents EVER and I needed more! What I really like is his 1 ounce scent shots are only $1.25, and if you spend $10 or less, shipping is only $3.49. A great way to try new scents. I also love the little Easter bag they came in, touches like that win me over!

Strawberry Shortcake: This is the one that John was nice enough to upgrade me to the 2 ounce size for free! Alas, this is the only one I didn't like. I don't know what I was thinking, I don't like strawberry scents - I think I'm just trying to find one that I really enjoy. (Although I do like CFTKR's Strawberry Flapjacks.) This just smelled like straight up fake strawberries to me. Someone else might really like this, I'll pass it on to a better home for sure.

Skittles (x 2): OMG this is awesome! Smells just like a freshly opened bag of the classic candy! I'm so glad I got two scent shots of this, it's so mouth watering! LOVE.

Butt Naked: Wowza. This is so awesome! A mixture of apples, melons, cherry, strawberries, and pears. I can't really smell the strawberry in there, so I think that's why it's so great! The other scents blend together great. So fresh and a great spring/summer scent.

Jelly Beans (x 2): Another hit for me! Smells just like the sour jelly beans I love to buy every year. Smells so realistic, can't wait to melt this one! Really great.

Banana Cream Pie: Very Yum! I really like banana cream pie scents, and this is a good one. 

Red Velvet: A very good version indeed, very rich scent! I love red velvet cake in real life, and this smells like the real thing. Nailed it!

Zucchini Claws (freebie): John just outdid himself on this one. Words cannot express how much I love this scent. I couldn't find it to order more, so I emailed him, so he relisted them for me and I have more on the way! This just jumped to my Top Ten scents of all time in my book. SO FREAKING AMAZING. I could melt only this for the rest of my life and die happy. <3

Have a great week!
