I would describe this as amaretto + vanilla. It smells rich and sweet to me, not particularly boozy or eggnog-spiced. It mixes well with all kinds of things and is pretty much my go to sweet vanilla. (You wouldn’t expect “eggnog” to mix well with Matcha & Bergamot or Passionfruit Pineapple, but this does).

I didn't think I would enjoy this wax melt because I don't like the taste of eggnog, but it smells so good! I can really smell the vanilla. This smells great.

I originally bought the vanilla eggnog fragrance oil to make a new holiday lip balm scent. It literally smelled like I was wearing a candle on my lips – it would not have been a best seller!
So I used it in my soy candles – it’s EXCELLENT! I have been using only Candle Science fragrance oils and GB 464 soy wax since I started making candles years ago. I have my favorite scents and this is the ONLY one that I have ever gotten such strong hot AND cold throw from! It’s amazing. The lid is never on this candle – I’m so impressed by the cold throw. It’s a great every day scent and holiday scent. I heat the GB 464 to 187 degrees, then add 10% fragrance (and a dye block when needed) and stir for 2 minutes, then pour at 137. I make 22 oz jar candles with 2 Eco 14 6” wicks in each. I then wait a full 7 days before burning and first burn is for at least 4 hours.
It does smell like vanilla eggnog to me, but doubles as a sugar cookie scent. I've never written a review on this site before and felt compelled to do so. It’s an outstanding product – excellent job, Candle Science!

I had trouble with acceleration like I mentioned in another review (couldn't edit).
After cutting the soap, I realized that I had what looked and smelled like the perfect fruit cake soap!!! Very very happy with the outcome!!

I had a really hard time with this in cold process soap. I love the scent though! Just beware that it might accelerate or seize in cold process. I mixed with just a tad bit of whiskey fragrance, I'm sure that didn't help performanc!
