Vintage Chic Scents


When Vintage Chic Scents opened for the very first time several months ago, I placed a small order consisting of a handful of scent shots. The scents were good but I just never got back around to ordering again. The buzz of love for Kirby's wax, fall sampler talk, and great scent blends functioned like a homing device to bring me back to VCS. I was late to the opening so I only grabbed a fall sampler. I really wanted Beautiful Jackie O Loves Fall and Mamma Mia in addition, but maybe another time. My leaves hover between 1.8 ounces and 2.6 ounces. The total sampler was 11.1 ounces for $12.75 and $7.95 shipping with two free samples.




Annabelle Doll- Sweet Cranberry Strawberry Pomegranate. The scents here mesh to create a fruit punch or fruit candy aroma. The cranberry and pomegranate lend a tartness and complement each other well. 


The Sanderson Sisters- Caramel Apple, Candy Corn, Marshmallow. Candy corn and marshmallow are easily detected first with the apples coming in to play at the tail end. Overall, a cream thick pale golden caramel coating a slice of red apple. 


Night of the Living Dead- Satsuma, Blonde Moment, VBN, Zucchini Bread. Based on description alone, I was a bit wary of this leaf. And in all honesty I would probably love this a bunch more without the zucchini. All the ingredients can be broken out by the nose piece by piece, but satsuma zucchini is the overriding feel. I like trying new things. This will be a new thing! It is Scarlette's favorite by the way. Not sure if it is the smell or color. 



Bride of Frankenstein- Green Apple Blueberry Wedding Cake. Blueberry! Tang of green apples. Not sure about the cake on cold, it has a boxed cake mix sitting in the plastic bag quality. And the leaf smells a little different than the free scent shot. The leaf is more blueberry/granny smith apple while the scent shot is more the cake. I bet when it is melted it will transform beautifully.


The Great Pumpkin- Pumpkin Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Amazing. This leaf smells JUST like the pumpkin roll ups I make every year for Thanksgiving. I have to make two so my Dad can take a whole one with him home to eat at his leisure. Pumpkin puree baked into a fluffy cake with a dash of pumpkin pie spice. Smeared with cream cheese frosting, powdered sugar sweet, creamy thick with just the smallest hint of a vanilla yogurt type bite. My absolute favorite of the sampler.



The Cresent Hotel- Salted Caramel Mocha. The coffee chocolate aspect is prominent. Not picking up the salted caramel on cold but it may bloom when melted. 

Bride of Frakenstein- Blueberry Green Apple Wedding Cake

I am very happy with this order and I am looking forward to her future fall samplers to come on August 31st. She restocks between 12-1:30 CST. The theme of the next two fall samplers will be: Monster and Evil Villains and Haunted People, Places, and Things. Sounds like a ghostly good time! I hope you have a great new week that contains many blessings and much love. Cheers!

  1. Love the pics with your girls!!! I am so sad I missed out on this restock, I totally forgot about it. There were some samplers left that evening when I got home, but I figured I'll just wait and order everything next time around. They look so beautiful and sound so delicious! Very excited to try these scents, as I've really been loving VCS lately <3

    1. Scarlette begged to be included in the photoshoot. How could I say no?! Then the rest gathered in as well.
      I see that the same scents are in the new samplers, just broken up with a few more added :-) I am excited about these leaves! And my future ones. Hope you grab some! What is one of your favorite VCS? I have not really tried many.

  4. I LOVE VCS so much! I have my sampler curing, but can't wait to melt it. I wasn't sure about Night of the Living Dead either, but on cold-sniff I like it! And I don't normally like any ZB blends.

  6. The Great Pumpkin was my favorite, too :) I've really got to melt a few of these before she opens again Sunday! Your girls are adorable! I'm jealous you got some Crescent Hotel :)
    A few of my favorite VCS scents are: Atlantic City (peach, strawberry & snow taffy), Ruby Slippers (grapefruit, vanilla, champagne? I think), Rosemary's Baby (lavender mint), Caffe Reggio (mocha cappuccino), Pod People (cactus & sea salt), Moonstone (peppermint spearmint eucalyptus). As you can tell, i really love her fresh scents! It is hard to go wrong :)
