Spring 2012 "Smell Fest" - A HUGE Success!!

Spring 2012 "Smell Fest" - A HUGE Success!!
What an amazing event! In late March we hosted our annual Spring Smell Fest! Yes you heard right, Smell Fest! =) This is the time of year we get together with other local business owners and selected guests and put around 50 new fragrances to the test. Only 10 scents will make the cut for 2012!

Smell Fest has become an important part of the Candle Crest tradition. This is a time where new and unique candle names and scents are introduced. Past events have brought several new candles to the forefront including their wildly popular and highly sought after “Dirty Snowman” and “Montana Sunshine”.

Our first candle with a very unusal name has now been released! Meet "Lickety-Do-Da" (Named by one of our special guests from this event)....A marvelous tangy fragrance of juicy ruby red grapefruit, fresh ripened honeydew melon and kissed by sweet green apples. Now doesn't that sound amazing =)



This candle along with many other "new arrivals" will be available at the Rockford City Market and will be loaded and available on our website in the upcoming week - http://www.candlecrest.com/

Stay tuned for even more new and exciting soy candle fragrances that we will be announcing soon. Please be c\sure to join us on Facebook because all announcements are published there first =)
