Shimmer

What happens when Cerise and Flirtatious have a baby?  Shimmer!  Actually, you might have to throw a little Lucky in Love to get the blend just right <g>.

Get your girly-girl on! Sweet cherries, velvety apricots, and sensual white musk crowned with a tiara of shimmering spun sugar.

When I melted Shimmer, I really couldn't pick out any of the scent notes.  It struck me as more floral than fruit, which is weird, because it doesn't seem to have a lick of floral in it.  It is a soft, floaty Victoria Secret-type scent--something a 16 year old would spritz all over herself after bathing.  Not that that's a bad thing, needless to say.  I enjoy a blast from the long-distant past myself.  

I tend to melt scents like Shimmer on hot summer days when I don't want something heavy or oppressive.  It also would make a great bathroom scent since the throw is a little softer than average.

Overall, I like Shimmer well enough.  Again, I haven't found my fall love. Maybe I'll find it in my next scent--Love You Berry Much.  I give this scent a rating of 7 (the highest so far!), but the scent throw was quite light--a 4, and the last was pretty average--a 5.

A little diversion into Scentsy' forumulation:  It sure seems like the wax is a little harder than usual lately.  I often rinse out my emptied warmers with very hot water to remove the wax traces, and it sure hasn't been as easy to remove.  I've also noticed that some scents have been giving me a little bit of an asthma reaction (which I tend to get with soy based candles and melts--I can't use Bath and Body Works scents for that reason, although I love some of their scents.  I had a horrible asthma attack with one of their candles once, because of the soy, and gave away all the rest of my stash.  So much for soy being the "healthier" alternative to paraffin.  It is a terrible allergen.  I also avoid the Yankee candles with soy.  Ugh)  Anyone else noticed that the formulation seems to have changed, or is this my imagination?
