11/29/11 Scent Of The Day: Marshmallow Campfire

Hello! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Today I'm melting Marshmallow Campfire. This is probably going to be a short review since this scent isn't too complicated to explain for me.

The CBV description is: Marshmallow Campfire: Just as the name suggests, toasted marshmallows over an open fire.

When I smell it cold, I don't get any of the campfire scent; just the sweet vanilla "marshmallow" scent. However, when my boyfriend smelled it he said "this one smells woodsy." So once again, different noses smell different things :)

When warmed, I get a strong musky, vanilla scent. It doesn't necessarily smell just like a marshmallow to me, but I still really enjoy it. My boyfriend says it's definitely a "night-time" scent, which I could agree with because it is a musky scent to me. It's strong, too. 

I like this one and I know quite a few people enjoy it as well :) 

I recommend this one!

11/28/11 Scent Of The Day: Spellbound

Hi everyone! Hope everyone's Monday was nice to them :)

So, if any of you ladies know me, you probably know Spellbound is one of my favorite scents from Victoria. 

To get started, the CBV description is: (in fruity, not bakery) Spellbound ~ When you think of fun you think of Cotton Candy! We have taken the aroma of sweet, fresh spun cotton candy and combined with fresh tart granny smith apples to create this super fun and unique fragrance. Spell Bound begins with top notes of tart granny smith apples and creamy butter, followed by a middle note of caramel sauce all sitting on base notes of vanilla, maple and spun sugar! 

In my scent shot, all I got was the cotton candy and apple (which by the way - I'm in love with Victoria's apple scents...so fruity and fresh!). When I got my 8oz candle which I'm burning right now, all I got was caramel and apple. When it's warm, I get all of these notes! I get the fresh granny smith apple, the sweetness of the cotton candy, & the caramel-y goodness. I can smell vanilla, and the maple sort of blends in with the caramel to me, & I don't think I can detect the sugar away from the cotton candy. 

This combination is amazing. Smells just like a caramel apple with cotton candy. I absolutely love it! Oh, and might I add, it's a GORGEOUS deep purple color. Everyone needs to try this scent out. Perfection! :)

11/26/11 Scent Of The Day: Pumpkin Pralines

Hi everyone! I have another scent of the day review. Today I'm melting Pumpkin Pralines.

CBV Description: Pumpkin Pralines ~ Creamy rich pumpkin with a hit of spice mixed with our amazing Caramelized Pralines and a hint of caramel to round out this amazing fragrance. 

Perfect description once again :) 

When I first got this, all I smelled was the pumpkin scent. The same thing happened to me with Pumpkin Frappuccino; all I got was pumpkin. So, I'm thinking this may be a trend with her pumpkin scents...you just gotta let them cure a little :)

First off, Victoria's pumpkin scents are amazing. They're so authentic and nice. I absolutely love them.

Onto this specific scent...it's a new favorite. I love caramelized pralines, but sometimes it can be a little too strong. With this one, the caramelized pralines scent is perfectly balanced out with the pumpkin. It's good cold, but once it's warm it's perfection! I thought this would only be good for fall, but warm, I think this scent is perfect for all year. 

I strongly recommend this one. 

Hope you're all having a good weekend!

Hi guys! I hope everyone is doing well. I finally got enough time to upload my November Order review...so here it is!

Thanks for watching :)

11/24/11 Scent Of The Day: Autumn Leaves/Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is having an awesome time with family. I'm not feeling too good so I stayed home :( But all is well. 

Today I'm melting Autumn Leaves.

CBV Description: Smell this one with your eyes shut and you'll be reminded of a cool, sunny fall afternoon. Note that this is not a burning leaves fragrance. This one is green and musky with heavy notes of bergamot and is simply a must have for the fall season.

The description is pretty dead on in my opinion. This scent is SO unique. I was so curious how leaves had a scent, but when I smell this, I smell leaves! To me it doesn't remind of necessarily of a "sunny" day, it smells more like it just rained kinda leaves scent if that makes sense....haha. I didn't think I would want my room to smell like this when I first got it even though I liked it, but now that it's melting, it's an awesome, awesome scent! I definitely recommend this one.

Hope everyone has a good day,

-Kaycee

11/23/11 Scent Of The Day: Pumpkin Apple Cinnamon Bread

Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone! I hope everyone has an awesome holiday.

I won't be able to melt/burn any new scents for awhile since my dad & family will be over. (My dad despises candles so I just burn them when he's away).

Today I'm trying out Pumpkin Apple Cinnamon Bread.

The CBV description is: Sweet creamy pumpkin, rich cinnamon apple with a crunchy strudel base note.

On cold throw to me this smells like that average "Country Bumpkin" scent, which to me smells like cold apple cider...which isn't my favorite.

When warm, I get more of that "bread" kind of note, which smells like a sweet strudel-y type scent. I don't get too much pumpkin. I still get that cold apple cider scent with a somewhat bakery note. 

While this isn't one of my favorites and I won't be getting it in a candle, it's growing on me. This is a really good fall scent, but I wouldn't classify it as bakery. More of a house blend type of scent to me. 

I would say you should try it out! It's pretty raved about on the message boards too. Maybe my nose just isn't picking up the pumpkin scent. 

Have a great Thanksgiving and I'll be talking to you soon!

11/22/11 Scent Of The Day: Cinnamon Donuts

Hello everyone! I'm trying to melt some of my scent shots from my last order to see which ones I want to get in candles, and this is definitely one of them!

Cinnamon Donuts CBV Description: A treat that will keep you coming back for more. This is a wonderful bakery scent .. light on the cinnamon but heavy on the yummy!!

The perfect description for this scent. It's not a "red hots" cinnamon; it's a light cinnamon with sugary notes in it. You can smell the "donut" doughy part of the scent with the cinnamon and sugar. It smells exactly like a cinnamon, sugary donut. I LOVE this one. 

A little side note: I put less than a 1/4 in my warmer and it filled my ENTIRE house. Really strong and really yummy. Awesome bakery scent!
