Crumb Top

Spent a great weekend sewing, visiting with old friends and just generally hanging out.  Cozy Fireside (yum!  one of my faves!) and Yankee's Cozy Cabin were my scent companions.

Finally had a chance at the end of last week to throw that Crumb Top in the warmers. Hmmmm...not bad.  The perfect blend of oats, butter, and brown sugar to top your favorite dessert.


Although Crumb Top is decidedly out of my scent box, it is a lighter bakery scent that really does have that sort of coffee cake streusel topping effect that is pretty good.  Translation: a bakery scent that doesn't make me gag.  Good job, Scentsy.

Mostly I get the brown sugar and butter, but then I always have a hard time discriminating "oat" scent, ya know?  Bottom line, I'd warm this on a cold day on the rare occasion I have a craving for a sweet scent.   As I already said, I did feel it was a little on the light side, and its last was definitely below average; I put it in the warmers in the morning and by bedtime, I couldn't smell it any more.  For me, that's not a problem, but it is something to consider if you like your scents to last a super long time.

For scent, it is a strong 6, throw was a 5, but last, I'd give it a 4.  YMMV.

Today I'm melting September's scent of the month, Ambrosia.  I'd put off melting this one, too, because I wasn't sure I'd go for the grapiness of it.  Hint:  It's very good.  Very very good.  Full review in the next edition.  As for me, I'm off to finally dig out my Pumpkin warmer.  I've been procrastinating on getting out my fall warmers, but I'm determined that today is the day.  I'll still have six weeks to enjoy it until Thanksgiving hits and it is time to drag out the Christmas warmers.
