Cake Mix Fragrant Oil Starter Pack 5x10ml | 5 Sweet Bakery Scents for Candles, Soap & Home Fragrance | Warm Gourmand Aroma Collection

I am absolutely delighted with this starter pack; so much so, that I have gone on to purchase three more combinations. Having wasted a considerable amount of money on Yankee Candles, and being disappointed with the lack of scent/throw, I decided to give these a whirl. These are amazing when used in an oil burner, and they fill your room with olfactory bliss! I have also been using them in those cheap, 8 hour burn tealight candles and while you need to add a few more drops to get a decent throw, they work splendidly, if like me you just love to watch candles burn. It's really simple too - light candle until it begins to pool; blow out candle and drop in your chosen scent. Allow wax to dry, then relight and give it around 20, minutes to start releasing aroma. Now onto the scents themselves: Baby Powder: This one is definitely a crowd pleaser; it's clean, sweet and angelic much like the name suggests. It's also the strongest scent in the pack, and I find I need to use a minimal amount of drops to get it to fill the room. It's persistent too, because even the following morning we could still smell reminents of the powdery aroma. Hot Apple Pie: Warm and sweet, and kind of "baked goodsy". My son said it smells like gingerbread and my husband agreed. We all enjoyed this scent; however it has a subtle throw, so you may need to use more drops if you want it to smell stronger. Fresh Linen: This oil let's off about the right amount of scent, and while it doesn't smell bad in any way it's our least favourite scent. It sort of smells "grassy" to me and clean. My husband said that to him, it smelled of laundry detergent or a bathroom airfreshner. Neither of us disliked it, but it wasn't as pleasant as the others. Coffee: Initially, I wasn't that excited about my whole house smelling of coffee, but I was really pleasantly surprised! It's actually a lovely coffee scent that makes me think of Cake shops for some reason. This one is quite strong and definitely long lasting. I used it in the lounge only and my hubby could smell it when he walked through the front door. Jasmine: This one is really pretty, the right "strength" and I'm really looking forward to mixing this one up with Vanilla and Pear because I think it will smell gorgeous! However, it is a beautiful stand alone fragrance in its own right! Probably my second favourite after Baby Powder. To summarise, I think this starter pack is amazing value as the bottles will last a long time. It will also save me a ton of money as I'll never buy scented candles again! Will be purchasing more as gifts, and if your thinking of taking a chance on a pack then I would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely smell from every bottle lasts a while aswell

Preface: I've tested each fragrance at varying amounts of drops, using a 300ml diffuser, before leaving this review. I've tried three sets from this brand and this one is the best so far. Hot Apple Pie is awful, to me anyway. It smells nice from the bottle and for the first ten minutes in the diffuser but quickly turns into a strange sickly smell with a very chemically undertone. In another set, Baked Apple does exactly the same. I guess they both use the same ingredient that produces this strange background note, which is more like burnt fake cinnamon maybe? You can smell the apple but whatever the other layer of fragrance is doesn't complement the apple at all. Of course, this is just my opinion and fragrance preferences are of course very subjective. However, I have a LOT of oils and other apple dessert ones I have don't have this problem, so something to be aware of all the same. Otherwise, Baby Powder is fantastic, is one of my favourite fragrances anyway and the main reason I bought this set. Coffee fragrances can be hit-and-miss but the one in this set is really nice, not quite coffee-shop nice, but still nice. Fresh Linen is different to several other fresh linens I have and is better in my opinion, one of the most balanced I've used so far - some can be a bit chemically. Jasmine isn't one of my preferred fragrance types anyway but is nice all the same, compared to several others I've tried over the last year that have been awful or had no scent throw, this one is nice and gentle and throws quite well, quite relaxing actually. I paid £7.95 for this set and at this price I'll be back for another set once I've run out of Baby Powder.

I wouldn't necessarily have chosen all of the scents in the pack, but I purchased it as part of a first-time candle-making experiment, so the different scents really worked just fine. One important thing to remember when purchasing scents for candle-making (or cosmetics, etc,) is that you need to calculate VERY CAREFULLY how much of the scent you will need for each candle. As it turns out, this pack has 5 bottles, each containing 10mls of scent. For one of the smallest, most basic candles, you will use more than HALF of one of the bottles on a single candle. Think of this pack as giving you enough scent for basically five small-ish candles. That was something that I hadn't know before I purchased them, but it ended up working out okay since I was just giving the hobby a try to see if I enjoyed it. Regarding the quality of the product itself - it was fantastic!! Even just sitting, the scent is pleasant and noticeable, and when it burns, the 'scent throw' is significant. I gave two (of the five) away as gifts, and the recipients burned the candles almost immediately and commented to us about how incredibly pleased they were by how strong, but not overpowering, the scents were. TO SUM UP: Bear in mind that you will use more scent fluid than you think to create a scented candle, if you are new to the hobby. This particular package is perfect for making five candles, or perhaps six pretty small ones, but no more. On the other hand, you won't find a higher quality scent to use you in your projects! (And just a side-note - the chocolate scent COMPLETELY knocked us all out with its amazing quality. I swear to high heaven that it smells JUST LIKE Cadbury's!)

Beautiful scents - all five of them! The Orange and Cinnamon is particularly lovely. Very Christmassy, but not exclusively so, as the scents are nice enough to used year-round.

The smells were nice but not strong enough. Could still smell the candle wax over the scents

These smell amazing.

Actually smells like real caramel! The scents are delicious!

I'm loving these scents! I had ordered from a different company before and was very unhappy with the lack of power of the scents. These do not disappoint, 10 drops in my infuser and my whole kitchen smells like exotic fruits! I love it. All the scents in this pack are great and exotic fruity smells. I think I'll be sticking with this brand! Thank you Mystic Moments!

Kit di oli essenziali uno più buono dell’altro!!! I mix creati per ogni profumazione sono fantastici sembrano veri e propri profumi senza essere invasivi e non sono dolcissimi e stucchevoli come alcuni (ad esempio la vaniglia) Jack’o lantern è superlativo!!

Non c'è male :)

I have been diffusing oils for a few years and enjoy trying new scents. Things I look for are: - How many drops are needed? 6 shakes, for 150ml of water -Is the bottle dark to protect the oil? Yes, it is. -Is there a top to control the flow of the drops? Yes, be gentle as you just need to tip it, and the drops come out. -Does it smell like it should? Yes. These are beautiful scents and do not smell odd like others. I have been impressed with all my oils from this company. These oil works well when I make a coconut oil -epson salt scrub. The amount of oil I use depends on the scent I choose. I tend to use more with the citrus as a preference.
