Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb
Scent: Pink Sangria
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml @ (2 pack refill)
Price: Retails for US12.50, I got these in an outlet for half price
About this fragrance:
A refreshing mix of zesty mandarin, crisp apple and sugared grapes and berries.
My Opinion:
I've really liked this scent, I would actually dare to say that it's one of my favorite B&B scent that I would repurchase, and that means alot to me, because so far I've only repurchased 1 scent from B&B and that would be Vanilla Bean Noel, which is my number 1 favorite scent from B&B.
Back to this scent, it's a mixture of something citrusy, fruity and sweet, although sweet, it is not overwhelming. Unfortunately, I've just went to the B&B webpage and notice that this was no longer available.... I really hope that they will bring this back.

Scent: Sea Island Cotton
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: 2 for US$15 or 3 for US$20
Price: 2 for US$15 or 3 for US$20
According to Bath and Body Work's webpage:
- Top Notes: Crisp White Cotton, Clean Linen, Green Pear, Juicy Tangerine
- Mid Notes: Lily of the Valley, Fresh Orange Blossom, Blue Freesia, White Cotton Blossom, Dewy Jasmine
- Dry Notes: Ocean Musk, Soft Sandalwood, Vanilla Bean
My Opinion:
I've tried the body splash in the store and though that I liked it, it smells like clean laundry, but as a room fragrance I didn't really like it. I mean I don't hate it, but is not a scent that I'm crazy about. I had this in a twin pack, and I currently have it in the bathroom, I think I'll finish it, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

According to Yankee Candle's webpage:
About This Fragrance
The shared experiences of childhood resonate powerfully in this fragrance that remarkably captures all the sugary notes of a marshmallow toasted to gooey perfection. You'll almost hear the laughter and singing, and feel the joy of a night around the campfire with family friends. But there'll be no need to lick the sticky remains from your fingers!
My Opinion:
This scent adds a warmth to your home, is sweet and smoky, but not overwhelming. Love burning this during fall time, and it lasts.

About This Fragrance
Sweet and zesty . . . juicy mangoes and peaches livened with citrus, ginger flowers and pink pepper.

This is a fruity scent that I've really liked, it's not too strong. I would have prefer if it lasted longer, I had it burning for about 3 hours and it started to fade.

About This Fragrance
Quiet dreams float on this airy vanilla blend with hints of cool eucalyptus and sunny lemon
My Opinion:
This smells nothing like vanilla or lemon, it has a very strong scent that I'm unable to describe, it wasn't unpleasant, just unexpected (not something that I'd usually pick up) and this stuffs lasts forever. I had it burning for weeks and is still strong. I might repurchase, but it appears that this scent has been discontinued.

Scent: Fresh Linen
Contents: 0.8 fl oz /
24ml
Price: 2 for US$15 or 3 for US$20
Price: 2 for US$15 or 3 for US$20
According to Bath and Body Work's webpage:
Crisp and clean, reminiscent of linen sheets drying in the sun, with refreshing,
light hints of apple, kiwi and violets.
My Opinion:
My favorite scent from Bath and Body Work's. I have this in shower gel, body mist and wall flower. They all smell slightly different, but overall a really clean scent. Fresh Linen wall flowers is one of my favorite products from Bath and Body works and I have already repurchased several times.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb
Scent: Bahama Fizz
Contents: 0.8
fl oz / 24mlPrice: US$6.5 (you can always get 6 for $24 at B&B's webpage)
According to Bath and Body Work's webpage:
A refreshing concotion of island pineapple, banana and fresh kiwi, infused with spiced rum and coconut.
My Opinion:
This wallflower is no longer available at the bath and body work's webpage, and after some googling found that it was a limited edition.
For the first day, I've plugged this in the bathroom on my bedroom and the scent was so strong that I was unable to sleep and had to take it off. The next day I've plugged it into the living room bathroom and the scent was still very strong and I could actually smell it everywhere in the house.
I had this for a little over a week and the scent is finally weakening, so if you like something really sweet and strong you are definetly going to like this, but I found this overwhelming.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb
Scent: Eucalyptus Spearmint
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24mlPrice: US$6.5 (you can always get 6 for $24 at B&B's webpage)
According to Bath and Body Work's webpage:
Soothing eucalyptus essential oil blended with basil
This is a really soothing herbally scent, but since I only have wallflowers in the bathroom, it didn't work, not an ideal scent for the bathroom, but I think I might get this in the wax tart form and burn it after a stressfull day.

Yankee Candle Tarts Wax Melts

Price: US$1.99 (got this during discount for US$1.00)
According to Yankee Candle's webpage:
About This Fragrance
The woody scents of mistletoe, berries, pine boughs, and holly create this holiday tradition.
My Opinion:
This tart smells exactly like toilet bowl cleanser, and it was a really strong one, because my mum has been burning this almost daily and it has lasted for nearly a week.
I've recently got my mum a tart warmer (picture above) and since she's into floral scents while I'm more into fruity scents, I'll be able to do alot more reviews on tarts.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb
Scent: Drenched Apple Flower
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: US$6.5 (you can
always get 6 for $24 at B&B's webpage)
I couldn't locate this product in the Bath and Body Work's webpage, I guess it has been discontinued, but I didn't really like it, so it was ok with me.
Anyway, this fragrance bulb started with a really strong green apple scent (nothing sweet),but after about a week I couldn't smell it anymore, I need to be really close to the wallflower to be able to detect any scent.

Bath and Body Works Wallflowers Fragrance Bulb
Scent: Verbena Waters
Contents: 0.8 fl oz / 24ml
Price: US$6.5 (you can always get 6 for $24 at B&B's webpage)
According to Bath and Body Work's webpage, this scent has already been discontinued, but after some googling, some bloggers were saying that the new scent Lakeside is actually the same scent, but don't quote me.
I was using ambi pur in my bathroom, but I've noticed that they run out every 3 weeks and is turning out to be really expensive, so I've switched to Bath and Body Works, and each bulb does last for 8 weeks, the only problem that I had was to find a converter in order to use it in HK.
I've got no idea how to describe this scent, is kind of summery and tropical with a slight hint of sweetness. I did like the scent so I might get Lakeside to try it out.

About This Fragrance
What holiday dreams are made of . . . a sweet blend of icy cool mint and sugary rich vanilla cream.
My Opinion:
I couldn't locate this tart at the Yankee Candle's webpage, and I think this is a seasonal scent that you could only get during X'mas, but they do have this scent in candles forms.
According to the description the scent should be cool mint and sugary vanilla, but the only note that I've detected was CHOCOLATE, and I love it, I'm definetly going to stock this up during X'mas.

Electric Tart Warmer
Some of my friends were asking me the other day, what Tart Wax Melts were, so in order to explain it better I've taken a few pictures of my tart warmer.
This is basically a light that will melt off your wax without flame, all you have to do is to place a tart (which is basically scented wax) and with the heat from the lamp the wax will melt thus releasing the scent.
I prefer electric tart warmers over traditional candles because I don't like the lingering scent of smoke when you blow off the candle.

About This Fragrance
A bright and sunny citrus. . . perfectly ripe, with a naturally sweet and refreshing scent.
My Opinion:
I was very disappointed with this tart, because although it does smells great it has a very weak scent. The other wax tarts that I've tried would fill up my whole house with it's scent, but this one did not even fill up my living room, when heated up, you need to be really close to the tart warmer to detect the scent.

About This Fragrance
It's an exotic island escape in the beautiful mix of bright citrus, sweet florals and spicy vanilla.
My Opinion:
I've been really addicted to these wax tarts, and my latest try is Pink Sands. I find this scent to be really hard to describe. I did not detect anything floral or citrusy, but there's definetly vanilla in it, plus something sweet but not overbearing. I'll say this is a mixture of clean and sweet.

Yankee Candle Tarts Wax Melts
Scent: Pineapple Cilantro

According to Yankee Candle's webpage:
About Tarts® wax melts
My Opinion:
About This Fragrance
A tropical treat . . . fresh, island pineapple served with a citrus touch of cilantro and sweet coconut.
About Tarts® wax melts
Simply place in a Tarts® wax melts warmer (never add water) and light an unscented tea light below, or use one of our electric warmers. As the wax melts, the fragrance is released. Mix and match scents to create your own personal aroma blends.
My Opinion:
I'm not a huge fan of coconut scented stuffs, and the dominating scent of this tart is coconut! but this was all my fault because I did not read till the end of the sentence, when I saw pineapple and citrus it was placed immediately in the cart...
If you like coconut scented stuffs you'll like it, and my husband appears to be loving it.

About This Fragrance
The fresh scent of clean towels warm from the dryer with notes of lemon, apple, lavender and lily. About Tarts® wax melts
Simply place in a Tarts® wax melts warmer (never add water) and light an unscented tea light below, or use one of our electric warmers. As the wax melts, the fragrance is released. Mix and match scents to create your own personal aroma blends.
My Opinion:
I've recently been obsessed with tarts wax, and if you are not familiar with tarts, they are basically scented candles without the wick, these tarts are placed into a tart warmer where they are melted and the scent is released.
I've been in love with the scent fluffy towel, and it reminds me of clean laundry.
