Scent- Cranberry Orange


A delightful blend of citrus notes of orange, satsuma, yuzu, and tangerine; followed by notes of cranberry, peach, and hints of spice. 

Excerpt  from Cupcake Project;
"The moment I open the Tupperware containing the cranberry orange cupcakes, the aroma of orange fills the air and makes me feel like I'm back in the orange packing plant that I got to tour last week in California. Can I just say that an orange packing plant is such a happy smelling place to be?

As I move the cupcake closer to my mouth to take a bite, the more subtle smell of the ring of cranberry (it looks kind of like a ring of fire, but I keep resisting calling it that because that just isn't a good thing) tickles my nose. I can't help but take a quick lick before biting into the cupcake. Once I bite in, the texture of the nuts and cranberries in the cupcake provides a nice crunch sound and I struggle to not eat the whole thing in one big bite!"

A personal story- At the young age of 12 I felt a world of despair. Upon waking one morning while the dreams still lingered, I felt a kiss along my brow. I knew I had been visited by my great grandmother. She had brought me the peace that everything would eventually turn out OK. -Hyla Waldron
