I know… the ground hog has not even made his prediction and I am already lining up fragrances and offerings for the Spring Time! So I am over the winter already, time to renew and start fresh!

Scents & Sensibility is revamping the entire fragrance line over the course of this year for candles, along with bringing online a new line of bath and body formulations – crafted especially for ”the girls”.  These new products and fragrances will be launched not online but on our new ETSY store which is scheduled to be open April 1st.  Look for more information and details in the coming month.

Not to be forgotten, our Apple Blossom candles is in planning stages along with our traditional Kentucky Derby candles for May. Look for them onsale at our retailers in April.

I have been really slack  in updating the blog lately, but business has been good and I have been working at making up stock for the Fall/Winter. Research on soap and bath/body products dominated my summer testing, but I did manage to come up with three new fragrances for the Fall season - original fragrances that hopefully will appeal to all our dedicated customers. And we are bringing back three most requested fragrances for the Fall season:

New Original Fragrances:

Soothing – A clean and brisk combo of  juicy tart fruits like apples, cranberry and pomegranate mixed with a healthy dose of zesty sage and clean greeen fern. A huge sweet spin on the popular clean fragrances, like citrus and sage.

Comforting – We have been formulating this milky combo for years! Sweet cream and milky goodness with just a touch of brown spices – think spicy vanilla with a smoother and more pronounced creamy punch and more intense spices, than simple cinnamon.

Wistful – A thought provoking mix of total Fall fragrance. Sweet grass, dried hay, a hint of apple wine, fallen yellow maple leaves and a subtle woodsy nuance. Not a gourmand blend, far from fruity and not a mention of floral or green.

Returning Fragrances: 

Special - When I smell this fragrance, I am instantly transported back to the Mall during holiday shopping.  A wonderful duplication of Apple Jack and Peel. Tangy orange, clove and cinnamon steeped in Apple Jack.

Grateful - Our mix of pumpkin splendor. Nutmeg and clove infused pumpkin puree with sweet cinnamon sugar, folded into smoky vanilla bean cream.

Favored - Freshly baked, buttery yellow cake layered with creamy pumpkin pie filling and crushed carmalized pecans. Yums!

Yes…I have been really amiss in updating the blog lately. I apologize. This winter seemed longer than normal and although there was not a whole bunch of snow, there was enough!

Every New Year starts out for us the same – two huge events for which we private label candles. The Kentucky Derby, for a retailer in Louisville Kentucky, and The Apple Blossom Festival, here in our hometown of Winchester, VA.  Although the events are normally in May, the delivery dates on these special orders is in February – makes for a very busy beginning of the year.

Normally, I post a picture of the Apple Blossom Candle, but this year the retailer (Apple Blossom Store) put the candle online! Take a look

Somewhere in “Our Biz News” is a photo display of all the candles through the years. This year is one of my favorites, the logo is more traditional than those of the past three or four years.
