The Fortune Cookie Soap Box is a monthly subscription that offers bath and body products centered on a new theme each month. FCS will create new products to fit that theme, and then will offer up the extended collection for sale later in the month.
FYI- About a year ago Fortune Cookie Soap changed its subscription model. Read more about it here.
This month’s theme was “Sweater Weather.”
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Fortune Cookie Soap “Sweater Weather” October 2019 Review
Here is the info sheet for this month’s box.
Warm & Cozy Hydrate Me, 2.2 oz - Full-Size! Retail Value $11.99
While I prefer the whipped cream lotions from FCS over the Hydrate Mes, I am making this stick of solid oils and butters work because I love the scent of cashmere musk, sweet vanilla, and softwood (which, after googling, are fir and pine trees).
Cabin Fever Scent Diffuser, 0.25 oz - Full-Size! Retail Value $12.99
This scent diffuser has a plastic plug that is a bit hard to remove, but the hard work was rewarded with the scent of whitewashed woods, citrus leaves, tonk, and oud. It really gave me those ~fall~ feels, and I like that the design makes it easy to hang wherever I want the scent diffused.

Chilly Nights Dry Shampoo
I very rarely need to use dry shampoo, but I appreciate that this is an eco-friendly one since it is non-aerosol. To use, just twist the lid until the holes are uncovered and sprinkle some out. I only used a very small amount so I can't speak to if larger amounts will leave a white cast, but I did like the soft scent of pine needles, freshly picked apples, and red currant.
Flannel Sheets Linen Spray
Ideally, I would be the kind of person who used linen sprays when folding clothes and making the bed, but in reality, I am the kind of person using a linen spray to freshen up clothes that have been in a pile for over a week since pulling them out of the dryer. Both kinds of people, though, should enjoy the scent of crisp autumn air, vanilla sugar, and patchouli.
The Verdict: I love fall scents, so this Fortune Cookie Soap box was perfect for me. Other than the dry shampoo, all of the products are already in use around my apartment, and I enjoy smelling like a sweater weather snack. I also appreciate that two full-size products were included this month, bringing the retail value of this box over the cost without even factoring in the two mini products.
