Simply Lemon + Sugar Cookie: a failed experiment

Thursday, November 20, 2014

When I first sniffed the Simply Lemon tester, I thought "Hmm... this almost reminds me of a lemon drop cookie! What could make it smell more like a lemon drop cookie?" My initial thought was Vanilla Bean Buttercream, but I don't have any of that yet, so I decided on Sugar Cookie.

Big Mistake. 


My sister, with her currently clogged-up sinuses, was like "Oh. It does smell like a lemon drop cookie." and "Oh, I don't think it's that bad." But I was literally becoming nauseous because of the sickly-sweet smell. It almost reminded me of bubblegum, if that makes sense? I dunno it was just way too artificially sweet. That wax went right into the garbage! LOL

So, my first foray into scent-mixing was a bit of a disaster. 
I'm hoping for better luck next time!!

UPDATE: my sister still insists that this mix smelled "really good." I'm not buyin' it!
