Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a melt frenzy. There's no escaping this scentizy.
Under a Hula Moon's "Bohemian Rhapsody" smells like luscious ripe plums, sweet cherries and strawberries infused with small peppery undertones of cinnamon and clove sitting on a bed of musk and cannabis, for the beatnik in all of us.
No cap

Super strong, heady, and fruity all at once. The fragrance from this wafted all over my home with only two cubes. When I say it's strong, I mean it is very strong. The longevity is great, it is one of those fragrances that just keeps on giving. I used the same two cubes for somewhere close to two weeks, melting for 4-5 hours almost daily.

The formulas on all of these are fantastic! I pretty much believe that indies have all nailed the formulas. Better than mainstream polishes even, don't ya think?
What's on your HHC shopping list for November?

  1. I'm going to need the Lollipop Posse and possibly the wax melt though the cannabis note makes me skeptical (I'm not a fan of the scent, personally).
