Introduction to My For Every Body Lemon Review...

For Every Body candles are a pretty popular brand and can be found in so many stores across the country.  The biggest one being Kohl’s.  They also have an online store that carries the majority of their candle line so if you don’t have any stores around you to purchase these candles, you can always order online.  That’s the route I usually go since I’m a big online shopper.  They also offer free shipping when you spend $30.00 or more (piece of cake!) and they always have online sales going on.  I’ve found some pretty amazing deals that way and have bought my fare share of this brand.

I think For Every Body candles are set apart from other brands by the way they decorate their candles.  They often use festive sprinkles or fruit wedges, cinnamon sprinkles etc. that corresponds with the scent theme creating a cute and well represented package.  It’s a really cool and fun line to purchase.  I will say that it seems to be hit and miss with this brand as I’ve bought some major duds to some pretty good ones.  I’ve found that some can smell fake or have an air freshener quality to them and then others smell super delicious!  I think this brand is definitely worth buying when you get the chance since they’re always on sale and they have such a huge selection to choose from.  If you don’t like what you buy… you aren’t out a whole lot.

Summer is here, YIPEE!... and I decided to do some major lemon shopping since that’s my favorite scent of all time.  For Every Body carries 4 lemon scents and since I’m one to never turn down a lemon candle… I bought all 4 to review.  I’ve always wondered what they smell like and this was my chance to find out.  Hopefully, this narrows down your decision making too should you decide to give any of these a try.

Lemon Cookie:

At the time I bought this candle, Lemon Cookie was only available in their 9oz classic home baked jars.  I would have preferred something larger but such is the life of an impulsive shopper (I had to have it).  Now that I go back to pull some descriptions for this review, I see it’s now available in a 5oz tin if you were interested in something smaller.  Here is the scent description:

“A squeeze of lemon is just enough to make your mouth water!  Topped with cookie sprinkles.”

My candle had the cutest yellow sprinkles on the top, just like a real lemon cookie would have if you bought some at a bakery or store.  I really liked this scent.  Oh man did I like it!  Lemon!!  What more can be said?  I’ve never burned a lemon cookie fragrance before and loved the sweet cookie part mixed with lemon… it was very warm and inviting and my house smelled awesome!!  Now that I’ve had a taste of this yummy scent, I’m going to really start searching for lemon cookie everywhere I can.  Candle companies reading this… hint-hint  :-)

I started out lighting two candles in my great-room but because the candles were small, they didn’t fare well and I ended up moving them downstairs to my family room.  My family room is still a good size room and I was actually able to get away with burning one candle instead of two.  Yummy scent folks!!  Every time I walked downstairs and got a whiff of this scent, I would say, Mmmm… that smells sooooooo good!  I probably said that 30 times, at least.  It smelled just like a lemon sugar cookie and to me, was such an inviting and cozy scent to smell.  For you sugar cookie fans out there… this was a nice twist and something different.  I will definitely buy this fragrance again and I hope For Every Body never gets rid of it.

Lemon Crisp:

I liked this scent but not as much as Lemon Cookie.  The jars were the same size but I didn’t think the scent throw on this fragrance was as strong.  I either had to burn it in a smaller room or burn two at the same time in my family room to really smell anything.  This candle had sugar sprinkles on top and the picture on the label shows a lemon danish of some sort… it smelled good (very similar to lemon cookie), I just wished it would have had a stronger throw.  Here is the scent description for this fragrance:

“Warm and sweet straight from the oven, dusted with 'powdered sugar.”'

Like I said, I liked the scent and would buy it again but only if they offered it in a larger jar.  Until then, I’ll stick with Lemon Cookie.
