Vintage Chic Scents: November Restock


What's this?! A million bajillion multi-colored lights creating a bokeh effect?! It must be Christmas time! My annual let's-take-all-the-photos-in-front-of-the-Christmas-tree has commenced and the first wax vendor subjected to this mania is Vintage Chic Scents. Kirby was launching a pretty spectacular restock that featured a ton of wonderfully festive holiday scents and I was prepared... or so I thought. I had my wishlist, I set my alarm and then I realized the wifi was spotty where I was and the service wasn't much better either and I BOMBED it. My only main goal was Pink Twinkling Lights and it jumped my cart so fast you would have thought it never even existed. Enough whining. So back in I went and tried for more treats. This time I came out with a loaf (did you guess spicy bakery?! Ding ding ding we have a winner!) and a bag of blossom squares.


The loaf is in It's A Wonderful Life and Edelweiss ($17.75) which is another iteration of Kirby's brilliant spicy yet creamy vanilla laden bakery concoction. I love it. Edelweiss is a gingerbread cake with cream cheese frosting. I don't get any sourness from Edelweiss. I have had it in many blends and on it's own. I love it. Add that yummy subtle spice and heavy vanilla cake to It's A Wonderful Life (cinnamon clove nutmeg) and the spice is elevated a touch and it is made all the richer. This is not a fiery or nose burning cinnamon scent. It smells like all the best versions of a softly spiced vanilla frosted cupcake, cookie, donuts, French Toast or cake. It is brilliant.



Order of the Arrow ($13.85) is Kirby's Marshmallow Fireside dupe and I have never tried it. As an avid Marshmallow Fireside addict I felt the strong yearning to make sure I got to try Kirby's. It is a nice close dupe but a bit too acrid to be dead-on. Kirby's has that Bonfire Bliss sweet acrid ember thing going on, which is nice but not really Marshmallow Fireside. It is cut with thick vanilla marshmallows and it does smell stinkin' good on its own merits. 


I haven't melted either of these yet but I will here soon and add them to a melting basket. You can request a review of them if you wish when I do that post. 

Are your Christmas decorations up yet? Did you order anything from Kirby's holiday bonanza? DID YOU GET PINK TWINKLING LIGHTS?!!? Just curious, is all.

  1. I did not order. Every time you post about VCS I get excited and think I might try the next restock or opening or whatever, then I forget about it or decide I don't need any. Your powers of enabling are fading, dear!

    I've enjoyed VCS in the past and the recent bits you sent all smell so wonderful, reminding me of RG in their creaminess. I'm starting to miss indie wax and think I might start easing my way back into my former waxy life. :)

    1. Yeah... I am like that sometimes too about restocks... halfway interested in grabbing something but half the time forget or remember too late. And alas... my powers are diminishing... it must be my mojo catching up to my rough past couple months. Maybe my magic will spark once again for wax. I think my excitement comes from perfume and pottery and jewelry at the moment. :-) You know... nothing you like, so you don't have to worry about being enabled.

      I am enjoying Kirby's stuff more and more these days too. I might even try to grab one thing form her next restock but I am supposed to be on a low buy. So we will see, plus I still have a few Christmas gifts left to buy. I am loving the creamy scents too. Especially her spiced vanilla bakery scents. I can't seem to tire of them.

      YAY for liking vendor wax again!! Are you eyeing anyone in particular?

    2. Well if I suddenly start buying perfume I can't pronounce, we'll know you're powers are still intact. LOL!

      I might do a little Front Porch order, and maybe revisit some other old school vendors before trying to figure out who is hot among the newer ones these days.

    3. Old school vendors would be nice! I can't tell you the last time I placed a Front Porch order. But I am craving a couple of other vendors that I have not ordered from in ages. I might try to in the New Year.

  3. I have yet to jump in on my yearly Marshmallow Fireside melting/burning. I will probably light up one of my candles tonight to enjoy its gooey goodness. This melt sounds incredible even if it may not be the exact dupe. It looks gorgeous too!
    Enjoy your goodies!!

    1. Still no Marshmallow Fireside?! But you know... maybe that will make for a nice thing to look forward to smelling after Christmas when a little bit of the blues hits after the lights and decorations come down. I think I will do that too. Have a Marshmallow Fireside blow out in January. <3
