    You're amazing!!! Very impressive.
    I feel like Cactus Blossom is a less intense (or maybe watery?) version of Party Dress? At least that's why I bought it. Since they neglected PD last winter, I bought CB bc it was as close as I could get. But I rarely burn it bc it just doesn't have the intensity of PD. On that note, remember the overpriced, large jars - particularly Crimson Velvet? I think that's a more intense version of PD.

    I want to thank you so much for this post! It must have been a big job! It's been so difficult to keep track of all the repackages. I've been hoping for a long time that someone would make a comprehensive list and here it is!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 😍😍😍

    Sooo grateful! I've been looking all over for Winter Cabin to remind me of the holiday seasons around 2012-13ish. Didn't really think I would ever find another one. Finally--Chestnut & Clove is the answer! Thank You!!

    How do you feel about Surfs Up coconut bay being repackage of copper coconut. A salty warm coconut scent with faint citrus.

      To be honest, most coconut scents smell the same to me. That said, I don't think Coconut Bay is a straightup repackage, but I do think the two scents are very similar

    Golden Citrus (just released with Fall 2017) is repackaged/renamed Autumn Sunshine from 2016. This is a fact. I loved that scent and knew immediately when I smelled it. Notes are the exact same, as well.

    Ps LOVE this post. I keep a running list in my phone of all the scents I hate/love each season and this has helped so much! Would love you to keep updating as new releases come out! (Mostly so I don't spend an hour sniffing every single candle in the store and jotting it down while being judged.)

      Yep, I know about Golden Citrus; I wrote a review about it with all the other recent fall scents

      This isn't an updated list btw, I do eventually plan on composing a list of repackages from 2017, make it a yearly thing

    Also, per my notes, White Sand Beaches is really similar to something I've smelled from them before but can't remember what. Endless Weekend is also a lighter Cactus Blossom, I believe.

    Any idea on pure white cotton? I love that one, but can't seem to find anything comparable!

    Any idea if Indigo Sky was renamed? That was my fave back in the day.

MY LAST POST: End of an Era

-
Have you ever looked back at something in your life that you were once passionate about and/or obsessed with and over time, you found yourself not feeling the same way anymore? Perhaps sort of going thru the motions with it or just completely over it but not ready to admit it? That's how I feel about B&BW...more to the point, that's how I feel about talking about B&BW as a reviewer. I've mentioned before that I stopped posting regularly on IG. During last year's lockdown, I would pop my head in with a post or a story just to keep in touch a bit and show I was alive...only to see my post not get as much attention as they used to as well as also watching one follower after the next unfollow me. Apparently if you're not churning out daily content, folks can't be bothered with you, regardless of what's going on in your life. At the start of 2020, I had a little over 6000 followers (even that annoyed me as there were accounts who started later than me and

CANDLE RETROSPECTIVE: Brozeblogger's Top 20 Candles OF ALL TIME

-
Well dear readers, today's New Year's Eve - we're almost at the finish line and soon we'll be able to wave goodbye and not so fond farewell to the dumpster fire that was 2020. Normally, as per my own tradition, in honor of New Year's I would write a retrospective look back on the past year and list what I thought were the best new scents that were released. Obviously I couldn't do that this year - with the pandemic, I've been avoiding stores thus couldn't do my usual WALK N SNIFFs nor did I particularly buy very much as I'm not about that shipping/handling plus tax life. But as this this New Years hits a bit differently than past ones and is the beginning of a new decade, I thought I do something different. I thought I'd do a real retrospective and look back at some of my favorite scents spanning from my time as a review and as Bronzeblogger - some from now till back in 2013 when I started this blog. I'm gonna avoid seasonal rideordie loves l

NEWNESS UPDATE: Spring 2021 Candles

-
 Well we made it to 2021! I personally feel like the new year started last week on January 20th; the world got a little less crazy and I feel like I can breath again. No, things are certainly not ideal and nowhere near back to the normal but it's slowly getting there. I hadn't had much to say on here lately. I didn't engage in any SAS shenanigans for obvious reasons. Besides a few wf bulbs during the most recent sale, I haven't really bought anything. I've kinda just been laying low and slimming down my collection as I'm not about the collecting/stocking up life anymore; either burning things or giving and/or selling them away. Occasionally I peep my head into social media to see what's poppin and what newness (that I won't get to see or smell for myself to review) is heading our way. I debated whether or not it was worth posting a newness update; after putting it off and hemmingandhawwing, I decided I might as well. So here we are. So as you may (or may
