Very Merry

There is no greater change that sweeps through Walt Disney World each year than the switch from Halloween to Christmas as October gives way to November and December. And with this change comes some of the grandest trees we’ve ever seen on or off property—from the massive lobby trees of Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and the Grand Floridian, to the themed Park trees, to the uniquely decorated trees at resorts like Disney’s Yacht Club, Old Key West, Saratoga Springs, Poly, and the Boardwalk. Still, this smell transcends Disney. Very Merry is simply the smell of a freshly cut Christmas tree.

Tip: If you're one of the many who have switched from a real tree to a fake one, you can hang a car/room freshener or two amongst the branches or spritz a bit of linen spray to get that fresh cut smell back into your home.

All scents are available in the following formats:

• Black Vessel Candles (8.5 oz.)
• Tin Candles (6 oz.)
• Wax Melts (5 oz.)
• Fragrance Oils (10 mL)
• Room Sprays (8 oz.)
• Car/Room Fresheners

Core Memory Candles are a hand mixed blend of soy wax and other vegetable waxes, food grade paraffin, and proprietary ingredients, together with carefully selected and blended fragrance oils. The 8.5 oz. black vessels burn for about 40 hours, while the 6 oz. tins burn for about 24 hours. If you've purchased my glass vessel candles in the past, note that these are a bit bigger than the prior versions and add approximately 5 hours more burn time.

Core Memory Wax Melts deliver the scent without the flame. Made with our all-natural soy and botanical oil formula and infused with the same carefully blended fragrance oils, each pack includes about 5 oz. of melts to use in your favorite warmer.

Core Memory Fragrance Oils are the essence of each scent without the wax. Each 10 mL vial can be used with just 1–2 drops in a diffuser. Fragrance oils are all phthalate free and contain synthetic aroma compounds infused with essential oils. They are purely aromatic and claim no medicinal qualities whatsoever. Do not allow liquid to spill on surfaces, as it may cause staining or damage.

Core Memory Room and Linen Sprays can be used on your bedding, in your car, or on any other fabric surface to add a dose of magic to your space. Shake well before each use. Test first on a less visible portion of your fabric. If you've used my room and linen sprays in the past, note that these are double the size of the prior versions—8 oz. instead of 4 oz. {Ingredients: Purified Water, Polysorbate-20, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance Oil}

Core Memory Car/Room Fresheners bring the scent with you on the go. Each is a 0.25 oz. glass aromatherapy bottle filled with your chosen Core Memory fragrance. Hang it from your rearview mirror, place it in a small space, or set it on a desk — the wooden cap allows the fragrance to wick through and slowly diffuse over time. To activate them, remove the plastic stopper inside, secure the wooden cap, and gently tip the bottle for a few seconds to saturate the cap. The more you saturate it, the stronger the scent will be. Refresh by tipping as needed to keep the scent going. Do not allow liquid to spill on surfaces, as it may cause staining or damage.

Other Important Details:

Pre-Sale Reminder: All Core Memory Collection products, other than Little Sparks wax melt samples (individual scents, top ten collections, and complete sets), are pre-order and will ship during the months of October, November, and early December (in advance of the holidays) after the pop-up shop closes. 

No returns or refunds: I appreciate your understanding that given the nature of the products all sales are final and refunds cannot be given unless items arrive damaged upon delivery.

Variations: Please allow for some visual variation in products as all items are handmade to order and containers/packaging may need to be adjusted to a reasonable equivalent if components become unavailable.

Ownership: While I am forever grateful that certain, everyday smells can ground us in this place that we all love and call “Home,” I, of course, have no ownership of any element of Walt Disney World or the Walt Disney Company – nor does the Walt Disney Company or any of its affiliates endorse any of my products…much less my nostalgic sense of smell.

Warnings and Proper Product Usage: Please use all Core Memory products only as directed. Intended for external/home fragrance use only. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep wax free of matches, wick trimmings, and other flammable materials. Keep wick centered and trimmed to ¼” to prevent smoking and soot buildup on container or other items. Burn only on stable, heat-resistant surfaces for not more than 4 hours at a time. Keep out of drafts. Discard when only ½” of wax remains in bottom of container. Do not move candle while burning or if wax is hot. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
