The Thymes Ambersweet Orange fragrance is very curious, because it isn’t overly amber, sweet or orange. Infact, the ingredients listed don’t even include amber, so I’m not sure what they are referring to with “Ambersweet” in the name. The description reads “Delicate orange blossom, creamy almond milk, Tonka bean and vanilla swirl gently in the zest of nutmeg, sandalwood and cardamom. “
Orange is always tricky because most people immediately assume juicy orange or zesty orange. Orange blossom, however, is very floral. What I like about this candle is that it isn’t overly floral. The creaminess of the almond milk and and sweetness from the vanilla come through to soften and mellow the floral from the orange. The spices are so subtle but add a little character to the scent. Sandalwood adds a nice earthiness to the candle to ground it without getting to heavy.
The Thymes Ambersweet Orange fragrance is a very nice, summertime fragrance. Neutral and soft. The fragrance works well in a lotion for a lighthearted, natural scent and the bar soap would be perfect in guest bath or as a hostess gift.
I love the pattern on the glass and on the soap. It is a perfect compliment to the fragrance – natural, feminine and delicate. While this fragrance doesn’t stand up and take center stage, it does create a beautiful backdrop.
Fragrance intensity 4/5. Burn quality 4/5

A quick scent guide
Layering is a fun way to personalize a room. Pairing two scents that share a note, such as a citrus with a green leaf, can create something that feels like yours.
Give a scent time. The first impression is not always the whole story, because fragrance notes open up and settle as a candle warms or a diffuser works.
Fragrance families help you shop. Floral, fruity, woody, fresh and gourmand scents each have a mood, and knowing which you enjoy makes choosing much easier.
Seasons change what we want to smell. Many people reach for light, airy scents in spring and summer, and richer, warmer scents in fall and winter.
