Milk and Cookies Tart
Milk and Cookies Tart Review
Yankee Candle Company is brilliant about coming up with new and fun scents to try, and this one seemed no different. In fact, what a fun idea this sounds like, right? Milk and cookies? What could possibly be wrong with it?
Well, it turns out that it is not a "winner" for me. In fact, the fragrance "took me back" to some other time, and reminded me of a sweet pipe smell! Do you remember ever smelling that kind of fun smell of a pipe, the fragrance wafting in the distance? It is a lot of fun that way.
Subsequent burnings, smelled even a little different, and I have to say this is not only not a favorite, I just don't like it very much. There isn't any other way of really putting it.
So, I won't be buying this again for a couple of reasons. As I suspected, Yankee pulled this fragrance as it probably didn't make the "testing" round, where they test fragrances for a time. I checked their site, it isn't to be found there.
Still, don't despair if you hope to try it. I would try other sources, like Ebay, etc. Its kind of fun, just not my favorite cookie fragrance they have, or baked good, etc. It never hurts to try a new tart from Yankee however!
Orange Dreamsicle Wax Tart
Orange Dreamsicle Wax Potpourri Tart Review -
Yankee Candle Company put out a really fun looking candle and wax tart a few months back, called Orange Dreamsicle. I had to smell it. It smelled heavenly of course, so I purchased one. There was no way I wasn't going to try this tart! I opted for the tart over the candle, but I usually love both equally, it just depends on what I want it for.
Well, when I melted it in my wax potpourri burner, I wasn't disappointed! It did indeed smell as good as I thought it would, maybe even better. So I loved it.
Now for the down side. It didn't have a lot of "throw" (or fragrance dispersing over a good sized area), for starters. So that was even ok though, as I often don't want a fragrance that is overpowering, or letting it be known I am burning a candle so all can smell it, and that kind of thing. The part I was most disappointed about, was its lasting value. It wasn't long, before the fragrance was just burned off, and then completely gone. If I am not mistaken, it may have even been the single shortest lasting fragrance diffuser I have ever used.
I might try the candle version, as I love the fragrance so much, and perhaps that would last more. If I wasn't sure though, that it wouldn't burn off so quickly, I may not ever get this one again.
Do try it once if you like this kind of fragrance, they did nail that pretty well!
Pink Sands Wax Tart Review
Pink Sands Wax Tart by Yankee Candle is brand new to me. I had never tried it before, but it caught my attention a couple of times in stores like Hallmark and Yankee Candle.
Looking a bit closer at the jar, I loved the color and picture, but that is only worth "so much" with candles and wax tarts. I smelled it and was blown away. From an initial sniff, I could tell that this is one nice fragrance, very lovely though hard to describe.
Now that I brought the tart home, and put it in the tart burner, it is very strong for a soft fragrance and is scenting my house very nicely! It is beautiful. I turned the burner off, to try and "conserve" some of that initial intensity in the oils, so that I could make it last. Later on, I leave them on for hours at at time. For now, the smell lingers in the air. I love that in a wax tart.
It reminds me somewhat of the beach, with a slight floral perhaps, or fruity fragrance, though both of those fail to really describe it well to me. I CAN say, that I will be purchasing this again in the future. It is a very nice wax tart, and the candle is even more beautiful as you see the color and picture at least on the jars. Highly recommended.

Wax Tart Reviews
This blog is dedicated to all things having to do with fragranced wax tarts, no matter what their brand or who makes them.
I plan on sharing my reviews of different wax tarts that I enjoy a lot, and will also share what I don't like so much.
Tart burners are a great way to get fragrance out into our home. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time collecting and trying out new ones.
