Getting to it! I have been collecting photos of products that I have used to review, so it has been in the back of my mind. No I'm not being paid to do this, it's just kind of fun.
So, first up (they will all be Fragrant Jewels products)... WAIT, ANNOUNCEMENT!! Sugar scrubs are back on their website AND they have their own section! So, happy dance :). It only took six months.
To continue, first up: FJ candle fragrance White Cotton. At the time of this writing it is still available. They describe it as follows:
"Smells like: Freshly Washed Laundry. Wrap yourself in your favorite, freshly dried throw and light our new White Cotton Candle. Each inhale smells of spring flowers in bloom and freshly washed laundry hanging dry. With fresh citrus and light musk notes adding a grounding earthiness, you will be at peace and renewed for days to come!"
And I kind of agree. It is one of my absolute favorites so far. A nice, clean smell that isn't over powering at all. And the ring that came with it was pretty cute.

Next up: FJ candle fragrance Scandalous. At the time of this writing it is still available. They describe it as follows:
"Fragrance Notes:Top: Fruity, Bergamot, MandarinMiddle: Rose, Jasmine, Lily of the ValleyBottom: Amber Musk, Patchouli, Cedarwood"
Now I don't know particular smells outside of a few, so I can't say if I agree of not. I don't recall smelling patchouli, but it might be there :p. I do know it wasn't one of my faves, but it did smell about as I expected based on how it looked, so there's that. It wasn't my least favorite either. Just, eh I guess. Kinda strong, but not overwhelming. Good at covering up unpleasant smells, but I wouldn't leave it burning for hours either. The ring that came out of it though, was pretty awesome. The jar has a 'frosted' silver sparkly lips design. I put frosted in quotes because it's more textured than any frosting on glass I've experienced, but I don't know what else to call it.
Next up: FJ candle fragrance Ocean Mist & Sea Salt. At the time of this writing it is still available. They describe it as follows:
"Reminiscent of our California roots, each inhale will surround you in lush greenery and dewey moss before melting into a quintessential California Spring bed of orange blossom, rose, and water lily. The pairing is met with teak and sandalwood that will have you floating through a California daydream."
Now this one has a semi-strong smell for sure. It's actually one my husband bought (he stole my Unicorn Tears and went stopping to replace it) and it is actually a 'masculine' scent in my opinion.
Next up: FJ candle fragrance Starry Night. At the time of this writing it is not available as a candle. However, it IS available as a sugar scrub! You bet your ass I got it. I digress. The smell is pleasant and I assume the sugar scrub is scented the same way, so here's the scrub's scent description:
"Fragrance Notes
Top: Pink Grapefruit, Orange, Black CurrantMiddle: Pineapple, Peach, PrimroseBottom: Sandalwood, Teakwood"
Top: Pink Grapefruit, Orange, Black CurrantMiddle: Pineapple, Peach, PrimroseBottom: Sandalwood, Teakwood"
I want to like the smell more than I really do, if that makes any sense. I adjust to it really quickly, but if I step away and come back and kind of blasts back in my face for a second. I like it, just strong is all. Anyway! It's also a pretty dark blue color and when you light it the wax turns kind of black. And the ring is gorgeous! The photo does not do it justice. The only ring I like better so far is my Unicorn Tears one.
Well, that's all for today folks. Next time I may have the Crystal Quartz ready to go, or maybe one of the new sugar scrubs. Who knows? I'm still using the Amethyst scrub I raved about last time, though it's almost done.
