Muzzy nut candy.
Opens clear yet cloyingly sweet, a fizzy cream soda with a hint of almond and pistachio flavoring–then gets murky as it warms into a nasty yet kind of enjoyably sweaty honey amber.

This one is still in production–not a bad buy for a light gourmand with acceptable performance.
The candle has a lot more nuts.

I love this old school new generation blues!
Citron Glace is a mouthful of Tutti Dolce’s Lemon Meringue without the pie crust, at a summer term sorority party. The sugar fades to an antiseptic lemonade close to the skin after an hour, and leaves a sticky sour candy residue on clothes.
Would make an excellent dorm room candle.

Smells like furniture polish and feet when it gets old.

Here’s a much fresher and more cheerful lemon.
Room service cantaloupe for breakfast from the beach hotel, delivered with a narcissus in a bud vase. A hint of unobjectionable white musk from the serving tray linens.
Sweet, yet fleeting.
A nice relaxing vacation, but you only Insty’d two photos.
Starts as sugar crystal rose, then oozes pink truck-stop bathroom dispenser soap, but manages to pull it into flower water taffy at the end.
Fast and close and cheap, yet sweet and somehow delightful.
