Sniff My Tarts: Box 2




My March Sniff My Tart order is now complete. The second lil box arrived safely.


Bayberry/Spiced Cranberry/Country Christmas popsicle- This is the Christmas scent I have been trying to get my hands on. The spiced cranberry and bayberry are meant to be together. It paints a picture so vivid of a traditional homestyle Christmas that I hear Karen Carpenter singing "Home for the Holidays" when I smell this festiveness. Tart, juicy sweet cranberries popping in a sauce on the stove, cinnamon spiced hot apple cider being passed around by crazy Uncle Jerry (you know he's your favorite uncle- beware it's probably spiked), the wreaths, garlands and Christmas tree giving off their resinous pine perfume. Perfection. Saving this blend for next opening in a full sheet cake.

Blackberry Amber/Blackberry/Warm Vanilla Sugar popsicle- Sweet vanilla musk with a dark berry undertone. Not sure how I feel about this one yet.

Frosted Pine/Peppermint/Sugar Spruce popsicle- YES. Sweet minty pine. All day long. My eyes are watering from the fumes and I can't stop inhaling. Please take the bag before I inhale it into nothingness. Great sinus clearer.


Frosty Pine frosted bread loaf- More of an evergreen scent with just a touch of green mint leaves. It is a very nice scent on its own.


North Woods Christmas jumbo cake slice- Mostly a balsam and pine scent with a hint of something sweet. The scent description lists lightly spiced cranberry but I don't think I can identify it as such. A lovely holiday and winter scent to have on hand. I could see myself using this to blend with for next go 'round.


Fallen Leaves mini pies- The scent description is very vague but I must say I do not feel like this is a fall leaves type of scent. It is a good scent, but not fall leaves. It smells like tuberose and a touch of laundry detergent. It is a heavy blend of white large florals: magnolias and jasmine and tuberose. Interesting.


Winter Berry Free Sample Ghostie- I like this guy! Smells pungently of cinnamon (BROOM!) and dried apple potpourri and maybe a tad bit of eucalyptus or greenery. Mostly cinnamon. And I like it.


More Free Samples:
Pina Colada/Honeydew Melon/Watermelon- Strong on the pineapple, but the melons play a sweet and beautiful duet with the colada. Tropical fun!
Strawberry Glaze/Vanilla Butter Fudge/Strawberry Glaze- Strawberries and cream candies. Yum!
Vanilla Butter Fudge/Manderin Oranges/Strawberry Jam- A yummy swirl of sorbets and vanilla ice cream all marbled together. Like a Gelati.

    1. Thanks! I was excited for a very long time but kept my cool and only messaged to ask where I was in line once. It is easier if you know ahead it will be long. I dig the ghost too. My ghost of Christmas Past. <3

  3. Ooh lots of cool stuff! So, educate me a little on all this scented waxy stuff: this was stuff you ordered in March? And I noticed a couple other posts of yours where it was an order from a few months back. Does it normally take months to get orders?

    1. Some vendors are really popular, and as one or two people teams, they take a while to make their wax. There are only a few who operate this way. There are other great wax vendors who ship within the week, like Front Porch. The difference is that Front Porch offers scents already made. Whereas, SMT and other long TAT vendors offer completely custom, made as you order scents. I can give you the low down at our next coffee and book/movie date. <3

    1. Yes! That blend is amazing for sure. Sheet cake worthy for the next opening.

      I like the Popsicles as their cheapest blending option. I have found that I tend to use the whole thing when melting so two melts total. Kinda wish they had more cheaper blending options.
