I have been purchasing from Cheryl now since last summer. I love her customer service and products. Pumpkin apple butter is my favorite blend from Cheryl, full of warm spices, bit of vanilla and pumpkin...very unique. Gingerbread applesauce...quickly becoming a favorite...warm homemade applesauce with a touch of gingerbread..so yummy! Black cherry...knocks me off my feet with just an ounce going in my warmer...a real strong black cherry like the kind in black cherry ice cream..all day scent. Creme de la creme zucchini bread...amazing creamy bread scent..no spice just yummy creamy bread notes...fills the house with one scallop. Strawberry marshmallow bread....a blend Cheryl made for me...reminds me sweet bread smothered in strawberry jam with a bit of butter. Lavender sugar cookie....sweet cookies wrapped in a bit of herbal lavender...not overwhelming at all...just a sweet lavender with a sugar cookie note.

Wonderful scents! The tarts I purchased have lasted well with very good throw. Cheryl is great about making recommendations about scents matching your preferences. I really like the goat's milk hand cream too. It left my ski soft and the product smells very nice. Keep up the great work Cheryl ad thank you for the extras.

MONKEY BREAD - .This is a new scent Cheryl has started carrying. As she is always so kind, she popped a sample of it in my " Cheryl Haul" order. My mom makes Monkey Bread every Christmas since we do breakfast instead of dinner. The cold smell was so-so, even when it started melting it wasn't putting off much of a scent. However, after fully melted and heated up, WOW, smelled like my mom baking! Nice strong consistent scent! For bakery scent lovers, this is a must try!

CINNAMON TOAST - .Again, Cheryl popped a sample of this scent in my order. didn't think it was going to be a good thrower, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not a super strong scent, but consistent. The scent is dead on and it's perfect for one of those relaxing days that you're just kickin' it and don't want to be slapped in the face with a super strong scent.
June 4, 2013
CREME DA LA CREME - WOW! If you're a sweets lover, this one is for you! I use 2 hot plate warmers and my house filled with this scent in no time. This is one of those slap ya in face strong scents! The scent lasted about 4 hours, but probably would have lasted longer... I think I had my warmers turned up a couple notchs to high. This one definitely falls under the Wow Strong description!

BLACKBERRY JAM BUTTER COOKIE - Yet another sample Cheryl threw in my order... darn her! I have to say, gotta love this scent! Popped in the light bulb warmer in my bathroom. Within minutes, not even completely melted my bathroom smelled wonderful. I was sitting at my kitchen table and I started sniffing and I was like that isn't what I have in the warmer out here... it was the Blackberry Jam Butter Cooker scent creeping up the hallway from the bathroom... very pleasant and impressed! It has a deep aroma that isn't to much. I'd say this falls under being a Very Strong scent. It's been in the warmer for about 8 hours burn time and no show of weakness yet. Even cold it kept my bathroom lightly scented. This one is on the list for my next order and will be one that I always have on hand!

BLACKBERRY JAM BUTTER COOKIE : UPDATE - I just had to add this little update for this scent. I left a scent review for this one on June 4th and today is the 9th. I'm just now tossing this tart today! It was in my bathroom warmer, which I don't turn on all the time, but I can honestly say that this one kept it's throw for at least 23+ hours total!! It weakened a little and what I mean by weakened is that the scent wasn't crawling up the hallway. It still kept my bathroom strongly scented. I could have probably gotten another afternoon/evening out of it, but I was itching to try another sample that Cheryl threw in my order :0).

CINNAMON CRUNCH CAKE - Good morning Cheryl's tart fans. Well yesterday was Cinnamon Crunch Cake day. First time trying this scent. The throw was good and pretty consistant. It lasted about 7 hours. The scent did linger after shutting off the warmer. Even when I got up this morning I could detect a slight aroma in the air, so I would have to give the throw a rating of very strong. As far as the scent itself, it had a true, deep cinnamon smell. I am a fan of cinnamon, so this was nice. However, I really didn't detect much of the crunch cake part which was a little disappointing due to my love of the bakery scents. I admit it, I'm quilty, I did end up throwing a little pie crust in which did make it more of a bakery scent. All in all, if you love cinnamon, I would reccommend this one and I probably will order it again sometime down the road.

JELLY DONUT - It's 5:22am, sitting here with my coffee... wish I had a real donut shop jelly donut about now :0). Anyway, this is a new scent that Cheryl started carrying because I suggested it - love ya Cheryl! The jelly part of the scent is strawberry. There really wasn't much a scent cold, but it came out after melting. I talked to Cheryl while I had in the warmer. She keeps telling me "be honest John", so I am. It had mostly a strawberry scent to it, not much of a donut/bakery scent, so it really wasn't true to it's name. The throw was moderate to strong. After burning for a while, the strawberry developed a perfume twist to it. It lasted around 4 hours. I hate being negative since I suggested the scent, but as it is with everything in life, it what it is. Cheryl wants honesty because she only wants to produce good product. She appreciates the reviews because lets be real, she carries all these scents, it would be impossible for her to burn everything, lol, a nd her nose would fall off her face :0). After telling her on how this scent performed, of course she wants to fix it. However, if you like the scent of strawberry, this would be one to get.

All the scents I have tried from Cheryls Candles have been absolutely wonderful, some I cant find anywhere else. Im absolutely in love with her JOOP for men and YSATIS, LOVERS DANCE, SULTRY ANGEL, PIXIE DUST, FRUIT SMOOTHIE, PLUMERIA, all of her BANANA scents & PINEAPPLE scents -just to name a few. I have found her ratings to be accurate, so if the scent says STRONG, it is!

FUNNEL CAKE - Cheryl has done set herself up a Funnel Cake stand at the county fair! As she can tell ya, I'm the first one in line for Funnel Cake tarts every time I order. This one is on my "must have" all the time list! In fact I'll probably be ordering it by the pound from now on. This scent is totally true to it's name... it's the wonderful Funnel Cake smell without all the grease. The throw is great and definitely in the very strong category. The only possible negative is the burn time is only about, give or take, 4 hours. But thats ok, I just take another tart, break it in half, add it to the pot and it's right back to its great throw. Over time I've tried this scent from other sites and no one even comes close to touching Cheryl's version hands down!! For all the bakery/sweet scent type lovers, this is one you have to order and try. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!

7UP POUND CAKE - This scent lives up to it's name and description. You can definitely detect each note, even the 7up, which I was surprised about. The scent throw was between strong and very strong. As far as how long it lasts, I can't really comment on that since I didn't let it go until it stop throwing. However I would have to say that it probably would be quite a few hours of throw. The 7up part seemed to have a little perfume smell to it, but that could be just me, I have a very sensitive nose when it comes to perfume smells. Personally, this one is not for me, but don't let that stop you from trying it! Not every scent, especially as many as Cheryl has, is for everyone. In fact Cheryl says almost everyone that tries this one likes it. So all in all I'd give it a shot if the description intrigues you!

ALMOND CRUNCH TORTE - This scent was definitely a different scent, it'a even hard to describe. I could smell the almond and some crunch, but there was something else mixed in there I couldn't identify. Any how, the throw was strong and I had in the warmers for about 6 hours. When I shut the warmers off, it was still giving a decent throw, but I tossed it after that, so I really can't give an accurate time frame of how long the throw really would have lasted. Again, personal preference, but this one wouldn't be at the top of my list. It wasn't bad, it just didn't do it for me. This will be one of those that I stick back in the drawer and will probably burn a few months down the road when I'm wanting something different or I'm low on tarts... lol, like that is going to happen :0). So if you like the scent description, give it a shot, it's just one of those personal likes or dislike type of scents.

CJ'S CINNAMON DONUTS - Who is CJ and where is CJ's donut shop at?? If CJ has a real donut shop, I want to order me some donuts! Lovvvvved this scent! It hit dead center to it's name and description. When first melting, it had a light airy scent. I thought great, another light bakery scent... I guess I expect thing to much, to fast. After about 30 minutes of being totally melted my house smelled sooooo good, just like a donut shop. You could smell the cinnamon as well as the doughy donut. Scent strength fell into the strong category and it's burn time was around 7 to 8 hours. Even when I shut the warmers off it still had a light scent going on which would have easily scented a small room. This one will be added to my purchase again list! I certainly would recommend the bakery scent lovers to give it a try!

STRAWBERRY FILLED COOKIES (CC) - This is one of Cheryl's own creations. I like this one. It filled practically the whole house with scent so I'd have to say the scent strength was very strong. However, it wasn't over bearing, just a consistent level of scent. There was more strawberry to it then cookie, but all in all, a good scent. I wished it had just a little more of the cookie/dough base scent to it, but that's just me and my personal preference...lol, I'm picky when it ya comes to my real food and as Cheryl can tell ya, my bakery scents too. She gets it though, we all like what we like. That's why I'm trying so many (way to many) of her scents and tracking them so I can narrow it down to the ones that are m favorites. After a while I did add a little sugar cookie to it which I have to say, rounded it off perfectly! If you're a real tart burner, then you know we all add a little something now and then to tweak the scent. I would definitely order this one again and definitely recommend it to the bakery scent lovers!

Ooooops, I forgot...this one last a long time! I had it in m warmers for 9 hours and it's still in them. I started my kitchen warmer as soon as I got up this morning. I'm sitting here with my coffee enjoying the same strong scent as I was last night before going to bed.
June 15, 2013
STRUDEL & SPICE - Mmmmm... Strudel & Spice & everything nice! Love, love, love this scent!! This scent was amazing! I could easily detect both the strudel and the spice in this one. Easily scented almost my whole house, so this one definitely falls under the very strong category. Burn time was around 14 hours total and if it was scenting a smaller room, it would have lasted longer. lol, you know it's a good one when my dogs stop and smell the air around the table the warmer is on! Already added to my next order list. Nothing else to really say... these few words say it all!

TOFFEE MAPLE CRUNCH - Whew... this one is a very strong one! Unfortunately it didn't agree with me :0(. The toffee note of the scent was good and smelled true to it's name, but the maple note was a different story. Yes, you could tell it was maple, but it had a extreme perfume smell to it. I could tell as soon as it started melting, but I still gave it a shot because we all know scents don't truly throw the right scent until completely melted and warmed up. Again, unfortunately not much changed after fully melting. I am very sensitive to the perfume smells, but this one was so strong, anyone would detect it. I really hate leaving negative reviews, but this one was tossed after about an hour and a half. Some may like a perfume twist to their tarts and if that is the case, then this one is for you!

PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIES - This one is another new scent Cheryl has started carrying. The scent did not live up to it's name and description. Very little peanut butter detected in the scent. If I wasn't paying close attention to review it, I probably would not even realized peanut butter was part of the mix. However, if we're basing this on if it was just a good scent or not, I definitely have to give it a thumbs up... I know, strange, right. The reason I would give it a thumbs up is because the oatmeal cookie part of the scent was wonderful! It was like oatmeal cookies fresh out of the oven. The scent is a strong thrower and lasted about 8 to 9 hours. Cheryl has also started carrying just a straight up peanut butter scent, which of course I ordered also but haven't tried yet. I think next time I'm going to throw a little peanut butter in with this scent and see what I come up with. So if you're looking for peanut butter oatmeal cookie scent, I wouldn't recomm end this one, but if you're wanting a good oatmeal cookie scent, I definitely recommend it!
June 20, 2013
KETTLE CORN - Mmmm, mmmm, mmm YUM! This is scent totally lives up to it's name and description!! I've had these tarts for little while, but was kinda ignoring them. I've tried Kettle Corn from other companies and really haven't been to impressed. Cheryl said to me "well haven't tried mine", so I ordered them, but was in no hurry to try them because of my previous encounters. Well, yesterday when I went to decide what I was melting for the day I was in the mood for something different. So I started sifting through my box. Wasn't in the mood for that deep bakery scent, wasn't in the mood for something fruity and then I picked up the Kettle Corn. I looked at them and thought what the hell, I'm gonna have to try them sometime... boy did I pick the right scent for something different! This scent filled my house with that wonderful old fashion Kettle Corn smell! Totally blew away anyone else's version! This one falls under the very strong throw catagorie. I had it in t he warmers for about 12 hours and it was still throwing a good scent. It's not something I would want everyday, but who wants the same scent everyday, but it will be in my warmers often. I just placed my next "Cheryl Haul" order (hehe like I need more tarts) and Kettle Corn was a last minute addition to the order. I definitely recommend this scent... give a try, you will be happy you did!

MAPLE PANCAKES - This one had a good smell to it. Was it true to it's name and description, um, so-so. It wasn't like I could smell the pancakes or the maple, it was like just one bakery type scent... hard to describe. I know that sounds strange, saying it had a good smell and all, but it did have a good smell to it. As far as strength, I'd say between moderate and strong. It took a little bit for it to start throwing good, but my air conditioning was on, so that could of been part of it. When melting there are many things that can effect the outcome... type of warmer, air conditioning, heat, windows open/closed, etc, etc. Would I throw it in the warmer again, sure. Would I order it again, probably, sometime down the road. Cheryl said she was thinking about trying a different version, if she does, I'm going to try that one first. My recommendation to try it.... lol, this one I'm leaving up to you. I'm not sorry I purchased it.

CINNAMON GLAZED DONUTS - Well, this is one those reviews I hate posting. This scent did not live up to it's name or description. It had a deep, weird smell to it almost like it was a bad knock off of the real scent. There was absolutely no sweet smell to it at all and the scent was a deep weird smell. Even the cinnamon part was weird. If these were real cinnamon glazed donuts. I'd say the grease was bad that they were fried in. After about an hour and half I tossed it. I can't say I would recommend this one....sorry!

PRAILINE POUND CAKE - To be honest. Ii don't even know what Praline Pound Cake is supposed to smell like. This scent put off a decent throw and I'd put the strength between moderate and strong, probably more on the strong side. I could smell a slight pound cake bakery smell and I assume to what praline is supposed to smell like. Basically this is one of those scents that didn't do it for me and that would be on personal preference level. It's not like it was horrible and I had to toss it, because I did leave it in the warmers the whole time...it's just not for me. If you like the scent description. I'd have to say give it a shot, don't make a negative judgement off this review. It would be insane to sit here and say that someone is going to personally like every scent...especially with all the scents the scent junky Cheryl has. Love ya Cheryl :0)

Responding to John's review on his last two reviews. As always I respect honesty and that is what you are John. I very much appreciate it, and yes, I also know how picky you are as many I assume are. LOL I love you too!!! Thank you so very much for putting up all the reviews, and hope many will follow your pattern in doing so. :-)

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE - Mmmmm... this one is a good one!! The smell of fresh chocolate like it was being made right in my kitchen and living room! The throw was strong and it lasted about 6 to 7 hours. It was still giving a throw, but not to scent a big area. If it was in a smaller room or the bathroom I'd have to guess it would have lasted a lot longer. What was nice about it is that it was a consistent throw and since it was just chocolate, you're not sitting wondering if you're smelling this part of it or that part of it. Anywho, you can tell this is a top of the line scent. I started thinking of different mixtures I could possibly make with it. I had a little bit of regular Zucchini Bread left, so I threw that in there at about the 5 hour mark, boy did that make a great scent! If any of you leave a review, throw some ideas out there of your own special mixtures, I know I'd love to see some creative ideas. Even if you don't leave a review, I'm sure Cheryl wouldn't m ind postings of everyone's special mixtures of her scents. If you love wax, it's all about having fun with it and getting those great scents. I know with my next order I've got Cornbread Muffins coming. Don't get it wrong, the scent is great on it's own, but I'm itchin' to throw something sweet in there :0).

VANILLA CAKE POPS - One word, ok maybe two words... YUM YUM!! This scent is amazing all the way around. It hit's dead on to its name, its a very strong scent that filled my whole house and its long lasting. With cake type scents it can be a toss up because some are light throwers, not this one! It's been in my warmers for almost 11 hours now. That's pretty much it, nothing much else to say, it scored high on all levels, well besides it will be on my "always have" list. Order it, you won't be sorry!

APPLE STRUDEL - Pleasantly surprised by this one. To start off, I'm just not much of a apple scent person. It's one of those scents that I will get, but only bust it out every few months when I'm tired of everything and really want something different, which was yesterday when I tossed this one in the warmers. The scent throw was in the strong category and it lasted about 6 to 7 hours. The scent itself wasn't bad. It was consistent and well balanced between the apple and strudel notes. I would definitely recommend trying this one. When the mood strikes for something with apple in it, this is the one I will be popping in the warmers.

VANILLA FUDGE - This one is definitely for the sweet lovers! It smelled true to it's name and description. The throw started out strong, but went to more of a moderate strength. However, the throw did stay consistent at this strength level for the remainder of the time. As much as some of us (me) would love everything to have a strong+ throw level, it just doesn't happen that way. It was a good scent and there really isn't anything bad to say about it. Definitely would recommend giving it a try, especially for the sweet lovers!

CAKE BATTER ICE CREAM - This one is soooo good! Ranks right up there with Vanilla Cake Pops. It had a strong throw & the scent was great. The strong throw didn't last as long as though, only about 5 hours, but I threw a half of another one in and it regained it's strength. Besides that, it ranked right up there. It's definitely one I recommend and that I'll purchase again!

FRENCH VANILLA CRUNCH - I have to say, I was pretty impressed with this one. I've been putting off melting it because I thought I was picking up a perfume scent on the cold smell... lol, I almost gave them away, but I'm glad I didn't. This scent scored high on all levels! It had a strong throw, stood true to it's description, the throw lasted around 11 hours and there was no detection of a perfume scent after warming at all. I highly recommend giving this one a try!!

LEMON BOMB COOKIE - This is one of Cheryl's own creations and she certainly named it correctly, they are the bomb! I'm not a lemony type person in general, but I wanted to give this one a try because it is one of Cheryl's own creations and it gives me something different to turn to when I'm looking for something different or something just fresh in the air. I have to say, pretty damn impressed! When I popped it in the warmer I was hoping it wasn't going to be a knock me over lemon scent and it wasn't. Very well crafted scent! The throw was strong, consistent and long lasting. I had it in the warmers for about 9 to 10 hours and it was still giving a throw. There was a wonderful great balance between the lemon note and the pastry/cookie note. I highly recommend giving this one a try if you are a citrus and/or bakery scent type person. You will be very pleased!

PUMPKIN CAPPUCCINO - It's weird, I always avoid putting the coffee/cafe' type tarts in the warmers. They sound good when I order them, but it never sounds good when deciding what to melt for the day. When I finally break down and put them in the warmers it's always a wonderful aroma... ok, so I'm a little weird. Anywho, this scent was great. Clearly had the pumpkin note with cappuccino mixed in. I honestly was expecting more of a coffee aroma to it, but that wasn't the case, but that isn't a bad thing either. It was a nicely balanced, consistent scent. The throw was a very strong one and lasted a good 14+ hours. Unless you are totally only a foo foo scent type person, I definitely recommend giving this one a try, even if you're not a coffee type person!

BLACKBERRY CRISP - This one is a very strong thrower and lasted about 14 hours. On the cold sniff it had a little bit of perfume smell to
it, but once I threw it in the warmers it started throwing a good scent and definitely could tell it was blackberry. As time went by though, the
perfume smell slowly started coming through and became stronger. If you've read my other reviews, then you know I'm just not a perfume type person. It wasn't so awful that I had to toss it, but by the end, it was pretty dominate. All in all, this one just isn't for me. As I've said before,this is a personal preference, not a scent bashing. The blackberry note was strong and consistent the whole time. So if you're a person that doesn't mind or likes a perfume twist to your tarts, then this definitely is one to try!

WILDBERRY MOUSSE - Gotta love this one!! When I saw this one on the scent list I thought wow, that sounds yummy, lol, but I wasn't talking about a scent, it really did sound good and will be looking for it at the grocery store. Anyway, of course I ordered it. Wow... very impressed! True to it's name and description. The throw is very strong, consistent and lasts a verylong time! Today is the 3rd day I've had this in my bathroom and it's still throwing! The warmer is only shut off when I'm sleeping. Now today it has lost the mousse part of the scent, but the mixed berry part is still going. That's not to bad for 3 days! I highly recommend trying this one for sure!
