Nordic Night

So I’ve never left a review, but need to start doing it.
I LOVE Candle Science and love so many of the fragrances. We make soap and have almost the entire array of scents from CS.

I have it two stars because straight out of the bottle I get FISH, I did not get piny/woodsy at all. To me I get the scent of smoked anchovies when that can is opened. Wow, this sure isn’t a Christmas I ever smelt.
I’m going to make a single batch of soap and see if this scent changes and mellows. If it does I’ll update this review.
Cautionary optimistic…but I don’t have high hopes.

The main character scoffs, "A ski date? Boring."
But the small town love interest says, "Night Skiing."
After the montage, the main character admits, "yOu HaVe ChAnGeD hOw I lOoK aT eVeRyThInG." And then they probably get hot cocoa and almost kiss before a big misunderstanding. Gotta drag it out somehow, right?
Point being, this scent is piney, bright, cold, with just a hint of fireside crackling chemistry. It's supplanted White Birch as my second favorite piney scent, with Blue Spruce as my top.
If you want a piney scent that isn't wreath it and weep, and can be a year-round soap, try it. Definitely my current candle on my desk.

I liked this scent straight out of the bottle but in a candle it smells a lot different. I blended it with "Mistletoe" and achieved the scent I was looking for.

This accelerated in CP soap and I could not get the swirl design I was hoping for. For a solid color, this FO will work find in soap.

This is the definition of a Christmas smell. Needless to say, I'm making this into candles for my friends this holiday season. It smells like there's wood in it, but not really. I don't know how to say it, but it's amazing.

I debated on bring this scent to my line as many candle maker reviews were mixed, but there was something a little different about it that I enjoyed. I launched my winter line at a makers market last night and customers continued to rave about this scent over any of my other 3 winter/holiday scents…. men and women, young and old. There was actually a point at the market were customers (who did not know each other) passed it down the line to one another and all 4 bought it without hesitation.

Wow what a nice fragrance... I am very impressed. Just made a batch of melt tarts, now I cant wait to sell them to my customers and get there opinions.. Keep up the good work!

No, I was not expecting for this to be fishy! Never had an issue like this with any other scents. I am in love with this company but something is really wrong here.

Accelerated like crazy!!!

This is probably my favorite CS scent yet, I think it's absolutely divine. Cold and crisp, somehow blue-smelling.

It smells fishy to me. Does no one else smell that? Nothing piney or woodsy to me. Maybe I’ll try it in a test candle.

I really like this one! Smells just as described when burning.

I was excited to try this scent. I think it smells great. I soaped at around the same temps as they had in the notes- a little bit lower by about 5 degrees. This accelerated like crazy. I had a design planned that I scrapped because I just needed to get it into the mold. I cut the soap and had the same weepy soaps as noted but also air pockets because of how fast this accelerated. I don't like the look of the soaps and I'm not sure these will be sold. Maybe just for personal use with this batch. Three stars because the scent is really nice. Smells like being in an evergreen forest in the middle of a cold, snowy night.

I love this scent in a candle. It is very evergreen forward with a little bit of spice. I think I will sell a lot of this one.

So the scent out of the bottle will not be what you expect - to me it smelled off. BUT in a candle, it takes shape into something different. All my customers loves this scent, especially men.

I was hoping for something different but smells just like Mistletoe and Frosted Juniper. Don't get me wrong, smells good. Not strong hot throw. But if you were looking for something different like I was, this is not it.

Definitely experienced acceleration in CP soap. Like the scent, don’t like how my soap looks.

I didn't like it at first as it's super strong, and is still strong even in the waxmelts I made, but I love it as it really smell like a snowy winter night outdoors in the woods. I'll definitely buy again.

I don’t like this scent straight out of the bottle!! However, I’m going to try it in a candle before I make a final decision… wish me luck

Update on the scent now that we have burned one. Five stars from the clients. I gave a tester candle to a client (Libbey straight-sided 2917) and she LOVED it. Said it had a big throw and filled her house with a clean, cold, and wintery air feel. A nice alternative to Frazier Fir if you are looking for the feel of winter.

OOTB this has a White birch smell to it, but a little colder (if that makes sense). White birch had a pine/sweet fragrance. This one is like a cold outside Christmas tree scent. I like it.

I haven’t poured candles with this yet, but out of the bottle it reminded me a lot of Frosted Juniper. I compared it to my frosted juniper sample and while similar, frosted juniper is cleaner and brighter. To me this is almost like if you added a bit of smoke (or Fireside) to Frosted Juniper. It’s a pleasant scent, not too sharp, and the pine is very subtle.

Just poured it into wax but I have to say - it smells like sweetgrass and violet to me. Love the name and I'll update when we burn. Let me know if anyone else is getting this or if I am just nose blind today :)
