Candles From the Keeping Room - Country Fair Strudel


Scent Description: Freshly baked apple strudel.

Date Received: July 26, 2016

Weight Melted: 1.0 oz

Location of Warmer: Kitchen, in tealight warmer

Cold Sniff: 4/5 A wonderfully sweet fall type aroma with some bakery aspects added in. Think sweet cinnamon apples, a dash of incense, and a heaping of pie crust.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 No surprises once melted.

Scent Strength: 1/3

Scent Throw: >3/3 This filled the entryway, hallway, kitchen/dining area, office, and part of the living room.

Melting Power: 4/5 I got six hours of scent from one cookie.

Repurchase: Yes! This was one of those scents that was light in strength but managed to pull it off splendidly. If you want a nice, light fall scent that won't punch you in the face, this is the place to go.

  1. This does sound interesting for fall! But I want the 'punch you in the face' strong scents. lol

    1. So do I! I try and keep some lighter scents on hand for guests and my own sanity. Sometimes I need a break from the face punching, ya know? LOL

  2. Mmm, that sounds good. I love those little sprinkle covered...cookies? Are those cookies? Anyhow, I'm also burning apple scents today. After getting completely burnt out on them during the Fall, I'm now coming back around again a bit. :)

    1. I'm gonna go with cookies, because that's what they look like to me.

      The weather right now is all over the place. Some days it seems like Spring is here. Others it feels like it's still fall and I need to melt more apple. Still others, like today, it feels like the cold, icy fingers of winter are gripping my soul, begging for mints, cinnamons, and cedars. It's awesome. I get to melt for 3 seasons in one. LOL

  3. I won a wax giveaway last summer and it had unidentified CFTKR cookies that look suspiciously similar to these. Are these purple? You may have inadvertently identified my mystery wax cookies! I'm gonna have a sniff and see if the notes match up...

    1. These are more brown than purple. I looked through my previous hauls and there are purple cookies in this shape that are scented in Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies. Could that be it?

    2. Yes! Thanks, I did some research too and little did I know I had THE famous Blkbrry Jam Butter cookies. No wonder why the scent name wasn't listed in the giveaway - that scent is legendary.

    3. Score! Unless the blackberry doesn't tickle your fancy. I hope it's not too much and you are able to melt and enjoy this blend. It's really quite lovely.
