If I missed something (YOU KNOW FOR A FACT IT'S REPACKAGE), please tell me so I can add to the list!
You're amazing!!! Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
OH SHIZNIT!!!! I think you might be on to something about Crimson Velvet and Party Dress!
DeleteOMG, this is SO helpful! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I like being helpful!
ReplyDeleteSparkling Pear Riesling ?= White Tea & Pear
ReplyDeletePink Sands + Petals ?= Vanilla Beach Flower = Vanilla Blossom
I finally got to sniff Pink Sands & Petals and you're definitely right
DeleteI 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! πππ
ReplyDeleteAwww, you are sooo welcome!
DeleteSooo 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!!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! C&C has become very popular lately so it should be back next fall or winter
DeleteHow do you feel about Surfs Up coconut bay being repackage of copper coconut. A salty warm coconut scent with faint citrus.
ReplyDeleteTo 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
DeleteGolden 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.
ReplyDeletePs 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
DeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteAny idea on pure white cotton? I love that one, but can't seem to find anything comparable!
ReplyDeleteAny idea if Indigo Sky was renamed? That was my fave back in the day.
ReplyDeleteHeirloom Apple=Honeycrisp Apple
ReplyDeleteThey have the same exact fragrance notes.
What about Champagne RosΓ©?
