We are like the Dreamer who Dreams
I didn’t need another notebook or another totebag…but I did need THIS particular notebook ($18) and THIS particular totebag ($32), designed by The Great Northern Candle Company. I haven’t decided what to used them for…but I will.
The main purpose of my order wasn’t even to get merch – I wanted wax melts. The wax melts are a GREAT deal. I thought I was paying $14 for a 2 oz pack of 6 – but $14 gets you 2 2oz packs! I ordered “Log Lady” – Cashmere + Cedarwood – and “Great Salish” – Sweetgrass + Cedar Smoke. Someday, I’ll get to go there in real life…
I also got a few more 2ml sample vials ($9 each). “Noir 315” is heavily inspired by Fire Walk With Me and is mainly Cedar + Labdanum. (Dale Cooper also stayed in Room 315 at the Great Northern.) It leans masculine, but I like it on me. I also got “The Woodsmen”, inspired by the murderous Woodsmen in The Return. The Campfire + Chocolate scent reminds me of Toblerone Dark Chocolate – I want to smell it, but I am not sure I want to smell like it? Does that make sense? I also got a another free sample of “The Roadhouse” – these folks are so generous!
Even though I’d gotten a scratch card in my last order for $10 off $65, there was a 20% off sale the weekend I ordered, so I’ll save that card for the next order…I think I need a full bottle of “Noir 315”.
Laura’s Blue Rose
I was in Atlantic City recently and I had packed my vial of “Blue Rose” and was horrified that it was empty! Imagine me, in a dark hotel room at Caesar’s Palace, placing an emergency order from The Great Northern Candle Company, on my phone in the dark, trying not to disturb my husband…
All I ordered was a 1.7oz “Blue Rose” eau de toilette ($38) and 1.7oz “Laura” eau de toilette ($38), as well as a 2ml sample vial of “Isn’t it Too Dreamy?” ($9). The folks at the GNCC were so generous that my box was full of freebies! I got a “Josie” perfume, a “Cooper” wax melt (which is scenting my bathroom right now), and a “Rose City” Candle.
And did I forget to mention that a surprise event was going on and I used a 20% off code?
This order definitely took me straight to the White Lodge.
The Great Northern Candle Company
I had never even heard of The Great Northern Candle Company, until my sister posted one of their ads on my Facebook wall. It was an ad announcing the launch of a Twin Peaks themed fragrance called “Laura”. You sonofabitch, I’m in!
I admit, I was ready to spend $88 on a full size “Laura” perfume…but once on their site, I found that you could get a 5ml sample for $10…and THEN I saw MORE Twin Peaks themed scents! I ultimately picked a discovery set – 6 5ml samples for $42 – $7 each!
“Laura” is Sour Cherry + Woodsmoke, and is sexy and seductive. It has a note that reminds me of Rapture, maybe the apricot? This is not an everyday scent, but I could see buying a full size though.
“Blue Rose” is Rose + Cedar and I knew I would love it. I want the full size, I want the candle, I want this scent on me EVERY DAY.
“Josie” is Tobacco Leaf + Vanilla Milk and it made me sneeze uncontrollably.
“Cooper” is Musk + Coffee Bean + Douglas Fir. It’s a good unisex fragrance – very wintery.
“One Eyed Jacks” is Smoked Whiskey + Honey. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either.
“The Roadhouse” is Apple Bourbon + Cedarwood. Another more unisex fragrance that I don’t hate or love. I think I would like it more as a candle than on my body.
After I placed my order, they released a few new Twin Peaks scents! There’s an Audrey scent and a few others that are only available in candle form. Ugh, I’m going to be dropping some money here, for sure. Stay tiuned for more scents from The Great Northern Candle Company.
