Violette Market Candles on Etsy (4 types left)

I totally missed these last week. They released Tuesday and are very limited edition but only 1 has sold out so far.

~ Sunset Over the Grandstand- "Dusty vanilla, organic local Ohio honey, sun scorched sandalwood, golden vanilla, tumbleweeds, aged boot leather, saffron, and rodeo dust lifted into the air among the peach and pink clouds of the sunset."

~ Mermaid Water- "The splash of the Atlantic Ocean mingling with a young girl's perfume, hints of flavored cotton candy, the taffy pull, candy apples, and penny candies drift among delicate aquatic musks."

~ Taffy Pull- "An array of colorful taffy swirling through the taffy pull in the sweet flavors of: Bourbon vanilla, vanilla cream, pink sugar cane, lemon blossom, orange cream, raspberry truffle, blueberry, and caramel."

~ Midway- "A sweet, nostalgia-inducing array of sugared elephant ears, funnel cake, pink cotton candy, candied apples, black cherry tartlets, the heat of August, and laughter carried into the night sky."

~ Strawberry Cotton Candy- "Clouds of pink cotton candy infused with ripe farm strawberries, pink sugar cane, fruity musk and gardenia cream."

Arcana Great Expectations Update- May 2013 + Rhinestone Housewife's Arcana Exclusives

2 New Arcana scents at Rhinestone Housewife:
~ Genteel- The well-bred housewife who pens perfect thank you notes and always matches her carpet to her drapes. Aniseed, 2 vanillas, dry amber, sugar, cashmere musk with wisps of fine sandalwood and cedarwood.

~ Vulgar- The tatted up housewife who swears like a sailor and plays punk rock at all times "so the kids will be smart." Dirty cherry with dark chocolate, vanilla-infused marshmallow, honey, pepper, patchouli and a hint of smoky bacon.

Rhinestone Housewife

Great Expectation scents:
~ Young Rantipole:  Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorn or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day. The scent of foolish new money and bad choices belying a loyal heart beneath. Sour cherry, black musk, brown musk, cocoa absolute, and kush.

~ Magwitch:  Hold your noise! cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat! Rich pipe tobacco, sea water, tobacco flowers, and black roses.

~ Miss Havisham:  So she sat, corpse-like, as we played at cards; the frillings and trimmings on her bridal dress, looking like earthy paper. Withered gardenias with star jasmine, chamomile, ivory musk, and pearl musk.

~Estella:
Am I pretty?
Yes, I think you are very pretty.
Am I insulting?
Not so much as you were last time, said I.

Quietly stunning ambre blanc and vanilla bean with a kiss of cognac.

~ Love Her, Love Her, Love Her:  If she tears your heart to pieces -- and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper -- love her, love her, love her! An inexorable enchantment of 3 honeys in a base of rich, smoky resins.

~ A Pale Young Gentleman:  Come and fight, said the pale young gentleman. What could I do but follow him? Violets, amber, coconut husks, frankincense, and white peach.

~ Gargery's Forge:  It was not because I was faithful, but because Joe was faithful, that I never ran away and went for a soldier or a sailor. Glowing red amber and boozy musk with incense, iron, salt, and smoke.

~ Pumblechook: We shook hands for the hundredth time at least, and he ordered a carter out of my way with the greatest indignation. An overblown, buffoonish, Pumblechookian mix of oats, wheat, brown sugar, cinnamon, black pepper, apricot, bitter cacao, and a drop of blackseed oil.

~ Walworth Castle:  I think it was the smallest house I ever saw; with the queerest gothic windows (by far the greater part of them sham) and a gothic door, almost too small to get in at. The warm, masculine, homey scent of sweet bayberry, chestnut honey, goat milk, treacle, coffee bean, and clove.

~ Clara:  She really was a most charming girl, and might have passed for a captive fairy, whom that truculent Ogre, Old Barley, had pressed into his service. Vanilla-infused sugar cookies and tea with tiny hints of banana, apricot, and lavender.

~ What Larks!  Dear old Pip, old chap, said Joe, you and me was ever friends. And when you're well enough to go out for a ride -- what larks! A happy blend of English strawberries and salted milk caramels strewn across polished wood.
