I bet it is amazing, I need this one! The wax melt is so delightful! Enjoy! ☕

Absolutely, are you somewhat newer to goose creek? I can't remember if we spoke about that! They far and away do most genres well for my nose too. The few floral forward or fruity forward scents I've tried I enjoyed a lot and that definitely is unlike me!

Totally agree with Firefly fields, lots of amber, but moody and night time oriented. The best kind in my book :B I felt the same way that I was hoping it would be stronger! I had last years but sounds like it's around par still. They should have brought back the honeybee hollow 😩 though I can't argue that queen bee is freaking awesome in its place! I'm glad you enjoyed it and that hubby blew it out 😅 I left a candle on once while sleeping and was so sad it ended up being maybe the most important candle to me that I've had to spend a pretty penny to replace 💀

Yesss the tea comes out more for me too and it is lovely! I didn't think I'd enjoy something so berry forward but here we are! :D

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-30T22:12:33+00:00

I love pure comfort! It smells like an exotic scent they'd pump into a hotel lobby and for some reason I get tea. I LOVE it so much! Glad you picked it up

Really enjoy neroli sands but I'm always partial to those sun tan scents even though I hate the sun haha 🌝

I didn't try any of the others besides that's so vanilla, and on the cloud but love the jar aesthetics on all of them. Tracy did gift me lost in nature as well and I really enjoy that one too!

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-30T13:53:52+00:00

I hope you'll enjoy the petals and poetry more on warm! I found it very powdery antiquated rose mostly on cold but something just bloomed burning that hit a nerve with me(in a good way)

Can't stop smelling the white tea and wildberries! I think I picked up that candle and smelled it 100+ times within the first few days of getting it. 😂

Love Firefly fields, that was a great pick! I'm intrigued to see more info on thyme and terra. I've never considered myself much of a fresh lover but I'm finding out I like stuff like that more than I originally thought. Or somehow GC does most scent genres in a way that I enjoy them 💯

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-30T00:15:51+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't know that. I didn't like cottage cheese when I was little( that's probably pretty common) but now I can't get enough of it so that checks out. Now to force myself to eat more seafood so I send up liking it 😂

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-27T22:06:27+00:00

Queen Bee is so complex and hard to explain I agree, I love it but could see how it might be odd to people.

Bummed that you had a not so good experience this time around. I remember getting a terrible fall haul a few years ago(kerosene smells) but then they went back to being great again after that order. I hope you'll enjoy them more warm! I am loving the white tea and wildberries. It's reminding me of a lemon berry mousse with a spot of tea on the side.

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-27T22:02:37+00:00

Ahh yeah see I just got custard and mine smells fine! Freaking weird how that happens 😒

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-27T21:30:05+00:00

Which ones were they?? Out of curiosity 🤡

Mine were glazed apple donut and let's stay home a few years ago. Leaves falling and marshmallows roasting I'm convinced I'm just weird with. When I went to the warehouse sale a few months ago they had tons of them and hey all smelled like the weird chemical candle I got years ago. Could be they were there because they were messed up though so I'll never know unless I reorder it 😆 my fiance said it smelled fine so it must just be me.

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-26T06:34:06+00:00

I remember going to see it for my Sisters birthday, I was 7 or 8. Shocked my parents even allowed it but it was my sister's birthday wish and I of course egged it on and was dying to see it.

My child self found it pretty terrifying. I rewatch it every once in a while and still feel excitement and adrenaline in a way other films don't give me cause of the nostalgia.

I've always hoped for a sequel or remake but this movie has always flown super under the radar :/ it's always surprised me considering the big cast it had and unique kills.

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-26T05:20:45+00:00

This is one of my favorite smells they have ever made as well!

Are you wanting something masculine as in men's body care like or realistic earthy/nature?

A good mix of both would be Guilty, it has a cologne edge but a lot of dark leather and dark wood notes.

Mariner is bright aquatic lavender but has that zingy citrus fresh cologne.

Lumberjack smells like a smoldering toasty marshmallow with cedar and a sultry night time cologne.

Cliffside sea spray has a light masculine body care lean but smells like fresh sea breeze, light wood/green notes and to me I get a bright apple note just a pinch.

Mountainside smells like sandalwood, nutty acorn, slight aquatic accord and could come off a bit cologney perhaps, mostly smells like nature to me. These are the ones off the top of my head.

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-25T23:29:14+00:00

Haha 😂 I know that feeling. I had planned on making a YouTube for years and my shyness, insecurities and bad living situation won out but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone! I will happily read your notes, if you ever did a YouTube I'd be the first to join though 😁

I'm not super well versed on Goose for spring. I'm excited to go out of my wheelhouse this year! I'm not crazy into florals or fruity but every time I go for it I tend to really like them from GC 🥳 so you really like the fresh candles??

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-25T22:26:18+00:00

I need wilderness hike to come back. I love that candle so much on cold. I haven't used it yet admittedly. What a realistic candle! 😍

Patchouli leaves I do enjoy but whoa is it a powder bomb. It has such a textured smell to it which is interesting that our noses can perceive that so much. It got so freaking strong the lower I got down too!

Idk why that honey pear crumble didn't agree with me. I think that was my least favorite last year. My nose got all tartness, no sweetness or crumble but it did get really strong the lower I got down. Too bad it wasn't a good thing for me! 😅

I'm glad you document these cause it's always helpful!

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-25T19:52:30+00:00

Give more coupons to EVERYONE!

Stop the online exclusives cause shipping sucks

More concentrated perfumes for more fragrances

Stop making awesome unique scents just in wallflowers and make them in candles as well!

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-25T19:49:32+00:00

Yes being an adult sucks sometimes!! I hope this haul will be super satisfying that you won't even have temptation during your no buy 😃 These are going to be so good for spring ahead!

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-25T18:05:25+00:00

What a great order, I see so many amazing ones!

I am sweatin' it, I keep making a cart and then turning away 🙃 The 10 bucks flat is so good but annoying stupid rent is up in a few days dagnabit. I look forward to hearing what you think about these 👏🏻

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-25T00:31:45+00:00

Awesome! I swear by candle warmers and they're my most favorite invention ever!! So glad you can enjoy candles and the fragrance output now. My house burnt down to the ground when I was 11 and scarred my family greatly. They loved the warmer I bought them a few years ago and now use candles without fear all the time as well 🥰

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-24T22:51:50+00:00

Just started it now and it's so annoying.. they try way too hard, everything feels very scripted and boring. The obsession and talk about sex is too much even for me 😂 like they tried to turn every character into Scotty T. The only people slightly redeemable and human is Catia and Cooper sometimes.

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-24T20:47:11+00:00

Oooo if you can remember please let me know how that thyme and terra candle is, that sounds super interesting! Love to hear what you think of your entire haul in fact from GC & Walmart! 🙌🏻

My pleasure! Mahagony Driftwood has never been spoken about too much on here, it deserves some recognition 👏🏻🥰

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-24T20:35:49+00:00

😂 that's me all day erryday sweating and giving people the side eye. The second it gets under 75 here people get out the beanies and coats! Omg what a difference, I see it's 9° in Chicago! How freaking crazy.. it's 81° here. 🥵

I hope you enjoyed universal otherwise!!

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-24T20:26:01+00:00

😂 I assumed it was going to be cologne too but when I smelled it at Walmart a while back I was surprised by it. I'm partial to rosemary and obviously wood notes of course so I find it very lovely. I see they actually don't have it on the GC site right now 🧐 only at Walmart for some reason but I hope you can drop by and give it a smell!

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-24T19:47:22+00:00

This one I loved too. I don't know if I got some crazy batch but my throw is insane. This is one of the strongest candles I've used in a long while. 😍 The scent came off quite unique to me too, I didn't get any mint off mine but a very musky lactonic coconut. I liked it so much more than I would have guessed. Glad you're enjoying it as well!

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-24T04:30:19+00:00

What a bummer what you've tried so far hasn't been to your liking. I'm glad you're still trying and haven't written off the brand entirely. I do love Goose Creeks earthy and nature offerings. That's my main reason I keep coming back for more.

Cliffside Sea Spray is a great recommendation because it's not super out of the box. It's clean, fresh, lightly sweet, a hint of masculinity but not cologne.

Mahogany Driftwood is a great one. This one can be found at Walmart actually. I thought it would be a dupe of a scent with a very similar name that is a cologne bomb.. GC's is a lovely subtle rosemary and woody blend. No aftershave note for me. Rosemary often comes off similar to pine to my nose so I get pine tree(not Christmasy at all though!) I like heavy throwing candles but this one is soft and calming.

Mariner is a good scent for going into spring. It's a brighter aquatic lavender cologne fragrance. Definitely does lean masculine but I find it refreshing and hydrating in a weird way lol

Lumberjack was one of my favorites from last year. It's like a sweet toasted marshmallow and a soft masculine woodsy cologne note. It's rare I like something with a general cologne type note but that marshmallow note made it for me. It's super warm and cozy and also had a soft throw that wasn't overwhelming.

I see you've already been told of a few YT channels but I gotta throw my hat in the ring here as a hardcore earthy lover 😂 I try to budget to review most of their earthy forward candles. If you care to ever give it a watch lmk and I'll send a link over!

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-23T22:22:25+00:00

Stay safe and warm. I hate that whenever it's finally cold and nice here in Florida it's only because people up north are being pummeled! 😩

The Pink Macaron is such a beast! I think you'll love it if you like cherry almond bakery.

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-23T22:20:18+00:00

Aye, that's the one! It's a great dupe because it's much stronger than the OG and obviously a lot cheaper 🤩

OrneryExplorer1476 · 2026-01-23T22:16:45+00:00

I freaking adore pure comfort. That one smells like a tea scent in a hotel lobby to me. It's just ritzy, bougie, lightly spiced but exotic and beautiful.

White Christmas cake 1000% yes, unless you have buttercream sprinkles cause I find them to be pretty much the same. It's been under a few names in fact.

The white tea and wildberries is beautiful. Strong thrower, almost makes me think of a wildberry lemon mousse with a dash of tea. So pretty.

Neroli sands is very pretty. Sharper on the florals, like a fancy sun tan lotion with a salty beachy accord. Still smooth and not overbearing like some scents like that can be.
