 Well - Winnie could also describe it for you as I made a bubble bath for her gransons with it.
It's a fun, fresh, fruity scent. Mango, pineapple & banana (I think). Basically, what you would think a monkey would eat, thus ummm 'expel'...  |

| Ok, the link to the monkey video is just as entertaining as the scent name. Now that I know its description, Monkey Farts is so much more fun. Love it! |

| I ordered the "Best of Candessence" and I am definitely in love with all the products, but especially the 'body butter'. The scent (and moisture) lasts and lasts! |

My Grandson's LOVE Monkey Farts. They not only love the name they really like the smell. To me it smells like a tropical drink. I got my daughter a lovely gift basket from Candy. My Grandson's are three and four years old and they want Mommy's bath products too. I think because I chose my daughter's scents in peach that they are very appealing to her boys. My daughter loves everything she got. I really can't rave enough about these products. |

My turn to add to the raves. Just got my "Best of Candessence" order and all the products live up to their hype. Everything arrived here in Texas warm but unmelted, since Candy thoughtfully put a freeze pak in the box.
I'll ditto what everyone else has said about the hand lotion - great stuff! The body butter is divine and I LOVE the chocolate fragrance! Smells just like a fudge brownie fresh from the oven. Normally, I don't care for chocolate scents because most of them smell weird and not really chocolate-y to me, but this smells good enough to eat (my dogs think so too - they keep licking my legs!)
Oh, and the kitchen soap really does get rid of odors on your hands. I chopped a lot of garlic today and the soap neutralized the smell immediately.
Overall, A++ products with personalized service and prices that can't be beat. I'm hooked! |

Hope, thank you for the review - I'm so happy you like everything!

My Candessence goodies arrived this morning! Hurray! 
I ordered the Body Butter in both German Chocolate and Fudge Brownie. The Body Butter's really thick, but warms up very quickly on your skin so it's easy to spread. A little goes a long way, even on my dry skin. I'm saving the Fudge Brownie until later, but the German Chocolate smells absolutely lovely - not a horribly overpowering scent, but a gorgeous, comforting one. My skin's still feeling soft and moisturised hours later.
Candy also very kindly sent me some of her Chocolate Lip Balm. Oh, the smell! If you're serious about your chocolate, then you absolutely must buy one of these. I was actually drooling when the scent hit me! Leaves your lips beautifully soft too.
Finally, I had to find out for myself what all the fuss was about the Encore Handcream. As I told Candy, I have difficulty in finding handcreams that are suitable for my very dry skin. Brands that others swear by often do nothing at all for me.
Well, I now confirm that you can believe the hype - this stuff is really, really good! It will be a perfect on-the-go handcream for me as it truly does sink in wonderfully, leaving my hands looking and feeling soft and smooth. I'd also recommend the Butter Nut scent - a buttery almond that smells good enough to eat.
I'll definitely be back for more when this lot's finished.
I particularly want to try the No More Stinky Toes and the Bath Melts. I'll be very happy to re-purchase all of the items I bought on this first occasion too.
Thank you, Candy! |

| I've never been able to apply lotion to my, out of the shower shaved legs, without having to reapply later. With the Candessence Body Butter, it keeps my dry legs, from getting the ashy, alligator look, until the next bath. No second application... got to be a time and money saver there. Awesome product Candy, thanks! |

and all I can say is I TOLD YOU SO!!! 
I am SO pleased, tickled and happy that you love Candys fab creams too MajorB!
Now we just need some more of us to join the band of Candessence ravers so you too can have the best creams on the market smoothing your dry tired body, and so Candy actually can make some sort of profit on her long hours in the kitchen putting so much love  and care into her handicraft! |

| I really like the body butter. I use it at night on my legs and over my actives on my hands and they are so soft in the morning. I also took the sample size from the trial pack into work (it is the chocolaty one) and someone said I smelled like a Ben and Jerry's Cherry garcia Ice Cream bar (that is my fav ice cream). |

Oh my goodness, I knew going to the site would be dangerous! And now I am confronted with all of these scent choices, I am so indecisive! I want to sniff everything. Has anyone tried the vanilla butter creme? That is sounding seriously tempting. And how is a girl to pick between chocolate, german chocolate, and fudge brownie?!
Oh, and the rain scents! I'm thinking those would be great for the hand cream and the bath drop ins. Oh, the choices!! |

I know! It would have taken me hours to decide - if I hadn't been such a chocolate fantatic.
I've tried and loved the Butter Nut, so I'm pretty sure the Vanilla Butter Creme will be completely gorgeous. (Must try that next time myself.) |

The Vanilla Butter creme smells delicious - I had some in the Encore while at court 1 day. The States Attorney walked in and said 'Oh - who brought cupcakes!' (I didn't have the heart to tell her & her tummy it was my handcream )
The rain scents in my opinion are excellent candle scents, though I have skin safe Rain also. A bit heavy though nicely scented, on the sweet side I'd say. Would be good for the bath melts too!
Ummm, on the chocolate scents, should I not tell you then I just got a Milk Chocolate scent? Also have a Chocolate Espresso.... |

Now it's my turn : just received Candy's neat little package. it's especially nice because i'm at home sick in my bed (with something called "sinusitis"). everything arrived in a perfect condition - nothing was melted, despite the tropical temperatures we have here in Vienna these days (it was only possible because Candy packed every single piece so nice & carefully!). i'm already amazed with the hand cream, which i of course put on immedietely. and looking forward to my bath melt - right the first feverless day will take a bath (also many thanks for the candle...).
Those products are made with love ! |

 So sorry you're not well. I get sinusitis at least once a year and it's the pits. But - very glad the package arrived safe & sound and apparently to help lift your spirits a bit.
Hmmm, had I known you were ill I'd have made you a eucalyptus/menthol melt instead! |
