This month's destination is Hawaii! I've never been, but I bet it smells amazing!
This is the inside of the little information leaflet that was included, detailing the package contents.
Gardenia Waimea White Gardenia Scented Palm Wax Candle (4 oz) - Value $5
Gardenia is my absolute favorite fragrance of all. It's perfect. I am so happy to have received this! It's a very true essence.
Hawaiian Iced Tea Packet - Value $1.15
This looks delicious, but I'm trying to cut the sugar out of my diet. I will miss sweet tea, for sure!
Waikiki Teakwood Tiki Set of 4 Tea Lights - Value $3.50
These don't have a very strong scent to them at all. It's nice, just very light.
North Shore Surfer's Paradise Room Spray - Value $7?
By the Bay Botanicals does have this fragrance listed, but not the room spray version, so I'm guessing at the value. This smells like a pretty typical "ocean" scent you might find in a candle shop.
Maui Pineapple Plantation Car Freshener - Value $2?
They don't have the car fresheners listed, either, so this is another guess. I was really hoping this would smell like real fresh pineapple, but it smells like a pretty typical fake pineapple scent. It's not a bad scent, but I had to take it out of my car, it's just too hot for that scent.
Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts - Value $1
Yum! I love macadamia nuts! They're the perfect snack.
Hawaii Mango Lip Balm - Value $3.25
This lip balm is definitely soothing and moisturizing. The scent is pretty natural and not overwhelming. This is good stuff!
Oahu Revealed: The Ultimate Guide To Honolulu, Waikiki & Beyond - Value $12.71 on Amazon (retail price: $18.99)
Wow, this looks like an amazing guide, and it would be perfect for someone who is actually going to Hawaii! As someone who is not going anywhere this summer, this just makes me sad, though. I never understood the point of the guide books they included in Escape Monthly, either. Didn't Escape Monthly end up going out of business? In any case, I think a book in a travel-themed box is a great idea, but it would be better if the book had the same setting as the destination, or was about something that exists or happened in the destination. That would make for a much better staycation, in my opinion.
SPOILER ALERT: Aroma Getaway is going to The Wild West in August!
Verdict: Aside from the guide book, which I don't really "get", I think this was a great little package from Aroma Getaway. The scents selected this month were all very relevant to the theme, and they smelled great, although some I preferred more than others. The value adds up to about $36, which clears the cost of the box but does not seem to quite make the $45 promised. I could be off on my guesses, though, so I'm not sure. In any case, if you like different fragrances and travel-themed boxes, this might be a good pick for you!
