The Scented Squirrel Satsuma Soda: I definitely get the tart orange of satsuma rounded out by a sweet fizz. One of my favorite TSS scents; I think she does fizzy blends particularly well. Fairly strong throw for about 8 hours. Overall grade: A. Would repurchase.
Country Lane Keepsakes Lavender Buttercream: this is one of my favorite CLK blends! A glorious sweet lavender with decadent vanilla frosting. Just right; both relaxing and sweet. Strong throw for about 10 hours. Overall grade: A+. Would repurchase.
The Scented Squirrel Utopia- "rosemary, mint, and vanilla sandalwood." I love all these notes individually but wasn't sure about them all together. It totally works though! Such a fresh and pleasant blend with light undertones of vanilla and musky sandalwood. Strong throw for about 8 hours. Overall grade: A+. Would repurchase.
Cleanse Your Soul Pumpkin Toffee Cake: this one was a little disappointing. It was more of a light, generic pumpkin spice scent; I didn't really get toffee or cake from it. Moderate to light throw for about 6-8 hours. Overall grade: C. Wouldn't repurchase.
Scentsationals Violet Cocktail: this was a nice new scent for spring. It did smell like fresh violets, slightly perfumey, but that touch of a boozy note threw me off a bit. A nice scent overall with a fairly strong performance for about 8 hours, but I think I prefer my violet scents a bit sweeter and creamier. Overall grade: B+. Probably wouldn't repurchase.
BHG Salted Pistachio Sorbet: I'd heard rave reviews about this one so I had to try it even though pistachio blends can be hit or miss for me. I like this one quite a lot; it is not an overwhelming pistachio. It's lighter and creamier with a good balance of nuttiness and sweetness. If you prefer a less in your face pistachio scent then I recommend this. Moderate throw for about 8 hours. Overall grade: A-. Might repurchase.
Sassy Girl Aroma Noel's Fluffy Birthday: the ultimate vanilla bakery scent! Great on it's own or to blend. Strong throw for about 10 hours. Overall grade: A. Would repurchase.

Overall grade: B+. Might repurchase.

Mystery blue tart: the label fell off this one but I think it was either from Front Porch or Haley's Heavenly Scents based on the shape. It was a sweet, fruity blend, maybe something fruit punch like Blue Hawaiin. Not my most favorite type of scent but it was nice and not overly sickly sweet. Fairly strong throw for about 8 hours. Overall grade: A-. Probably wouldn't repurchase.

Vintage Chic Scents Blackberry Milk Glass: I usually don't get the strongest throw from VCS scents but this was one of the stronger ones I've tried.

Fairly strong throw for about 8 hours. Overall grade: A. Would repurchase.

Yankee Candle Vanilla Chai: this smells like a nice, if vague, spicy vanilla on cold. Not much throw though; Yankee tarts have very little throw for me and take forever to melt so I've stopped buying them. This was one of the last ones I had. Overall grade: D. Would not repurchase.
