Day 213 - Melsea

Currently Burning: Melsea

Now onto the daily review!

Melsea (4): This was created by Victoria's daughters Melissa and Chelsea and it is a mix of Me Tarzan, You Jane and Blushing Peaches. Based on the scents, I wasn't sure how this would be because those are two VERY different scents. They mix great together though! I'm loving Blushing Peaches as a mixer and it really makes Me Tarzan, You Jane stand out. The throw is also really good on this one.

Day 212 - Aquolina Blue Sugar

Currently Burning: Aquolina Blue Sugar

Now onto the daily review!

Aquolina Blue Sugar (4): I like Blue Sugar Cotton Candy slightly more than this, but this smells very close to it. Slightly more of a cologne scent and a little less sweet, it's still very nice. The throw is also pretty strong!

Currently Burning: Maple Bacon

Maple Bacon (1): This one doesn't really smell like maple or bacon when it's warmed. It's kind of like beef jerky. Definitely not a favorite.

Currently Burning: Catchin' Fireflies

Catchin' Fireflies (4): This is an extremely complex fragrance. It reminds me of being outdoors. I don't really get any particular note, but it is earthy, floral, and fruity. Very nice.

Currently Burning: Butt Naked

Butt Naked (3): This has a ton of teakwood in it, but it also has some nice citrus notes. It's very clean smelling. It's pretty good, but don't think I would get a candle.

Day 208 - Pink Noel

Currently Burning: Pink Noel

Now onto the daily review!

Pink Noel (2): This is a blend of Pink Cupcake and Vanilla Bean Noel. I don't really like the Pink Cupcake scent...it's a little too rich for me. Mixed with Vanilla Bean Noel and it's even richer. I do love VBN, but this one was not a hit for me.

Day 207 - Weekly Scent Recap #19

Currently Burning: Mango Smoothie

Now onto the daily review!

Mango Smoothie (4): I knew that I had to try this one warm since Melissa just added it as a new soap. I do get the mango papaya in it, but I get a really strong citrus note much more. The lemon and peach blend together really nicely and they are what I smell the most in this scent. The Mango is there making it super juicy, but it's definitely a citrus and would make a great soap!

Day 206 - Jamaican Vacation

Currently Burning: Jamaican Vacation

Now onto the daily review!

Jamaican Vacation (3): I really wish I could take one of these!! This is a really great fruity scent on cold. However, I must have gotten a bad batch because I get almost no throw out of it! It makes me really sad :( I'm going to try this again in a different room, but like I said it's so good when I put my nose up to it. I definitely get the kiwi and pineapple and then there's a little bit of floral notes in the background too. I'll decide on the candle after my 2nd attempt.

Day 205 - Raspberry Peach Cobbler

Currently Burning: Raspberry Peach Cobbler

Now onto the daily review!

Raspberry Peach Cobbler (4): This one smells similar to my love: Momma's Peach Cobbler. However, it is a much lighter thrower, and it does have the Raspberry note. Still love MPC better so I probably won't go for a candle in this.

Day 204 - Pomegranate and Mango

Currently Burning: Pomegranate and Mango

Now onto the daily review!

Pomegranate and Mango (4): This is a very juicy fruity scent. I love Mango scents and this is no exception. The pomegranate helps to make it not quite as sweet as some of the other mango scents, but it does add some deepness as well.

Day 203 - Million Dollar Baby

Currently Burning: Million Dollar Baby


Now onto the daily review!

Million Dollar Baby (3): This one is a nice bakery scent. The throw on it is pretty good too! I definitely get the pineapple in it, but it also has a very creamy cake/cookie note in it too. The pineapple is also more of a cooked pineapple than a fresh pineapple.

Day 202 - Sex on the Beach

Currently Burning: Sex on the Beach

Now onto the daily review!

Sex on the Beach (1): I really don't like this one at all. I'm not sure what it has it in, but it smells like hibiscus and a bad peach. Definitely will not repurchase.

Day 201 - Wild Cherry

Currently Burning: Wild Cherry

Now onto the daily review!

Wild Cherry (2): I normally like Cherry scents, but this is not one of them. It's very much a medicinal cherry. The throw is pretty strong too so it's almost sickening. Won't be repurchasing.

Day 200 - Weekly Scent Recap #18

Currently Burning: Pagoda Tree

Woohoo Day 200!!!! Can't believe I've made it this far :)

Now onto the daily review!

Pagoda Tree (5): This is a customer creation of Chantilly Lace and Tokyo Spring. I like both scents and together they're really nice! Chantilly Lace is a slightly powdery perfume and Tokyo Spring is a floral, clean scent. On cold I get more of the Chantilly Lace, but warmed up they're pretty equal. Definitely candle-worthy.

Day 199 - Bikini Bottoms

Currently Burning: Bikini Bottoms

Now onto the daily review!

Bikini Bottoms (5): This is really yummy! I get a strong peach note, some citrus, some florals, raspberry, and a hint of coconut. It has a lot more notes, but those are the strongest. I need this in a candle for sure!!

Day 198 - Tuscan Herb

Currently Burning: Tuscan Herb

Now onto the daily review!

Tuscan Herb (2): This one is ridiculously strong. I could smell it outside!!! It smells like a fresh bell pepper right when you cut into it. Super interesting, but not one that I would want on most days. Totally overpowered everything else too.

Day 197 - Breakfast in Vermont

Currently Burning: Breakfast in Vermont

Now onto the daily review!

Breakfast in Vermont (3): I get chocolate, a dough note, and a hint of maple from this one. It does remind me a little of breakfast, but overall it's just a chocolate bakery scent. Not bad, but I don't think I'll go for a candle.

Day 196 - Love Birds

Currently Burning: Love Birds

Now onto the daily review!

Love Birds (5): This is a customer creation of Love Spell and Birds of Paradise. It smells mostly like Love Spell, but it does have the creaminess from Birds of Paradise. So glad I went for the 8oz in this because it's another one of my favorites. The throw is medium on this one.

Day 195 - Tomahawk Memories

Currently Burning: Tomahawk Memories

Now onto the daily review!

Tomahawk Memories (3): This was made for Deb Howard by Victoria based on a story from her childhood. This smells very similar to What Goes Around Comes Around, but it's also tempered by Sugared Spruce. The throw isn't spectacular, but it's a great woodsy scent. Don't think I'll go for the candle, but it's still nice.

Day 194 - Strawberry Taffy

Currently Burning: Strawberry Taffy

Now onto the daily review!

Strawberry Taffy (4): This is a very syrupy strawberry. It's the same strawberry that's in Strawberry Margarita. I like this much better than strawberry jam because it is a LOT sweeter! The throw is decent on it as well. Not sure if I would pick up a candle, but it's a great strawberry :)

Day 193 - Weekly Scent Recap #17

Currently Burning: Pink Sangria

Now onto the daily review!

Pink Sangria (4): This one is a really strong throw! I believe it's a bath and body works dupe, but I've never smelled the original. I really do like this one though. It's supposed to have mandarin, apple, grapes, and berries. I do get a slightly grapey note almost like wine, but the apple, citrus, and berries are all really well blended. It does smell very similar to sangria. Definitely candle-worthy!

Day 191 - Mango Tangerine

Currently Burning: Mango Tangerine

Now onto the daily review!

Mango Tangerine (4): This smells a lot like Tang. However, that sweet mango is also in the background so it's a really juicy, fruity scent. Great for summer! Not sure if I would go for a candle, but it's nice nonetheless.

Day 190 - English Ivy

Currently Burning: English Ivy

Now onto the daily review!

English Ivy (4): On cold throw, this smells a lot like leather to me. Warmed up I still get a little bit of leather, but it's very subtle. Some slight green notes are in there as well. Definitely 4 oz worthy at the very least.

Day 189 - Love Potion No. 9

Currently Burning: Love Potion No. 9

Now onto the daily review!

Love Potion No. 9 (5): This scent was originally released only as a massage candle or as a soap. However, in May 2012, Victoria added this to her regular line of fragrances. I immediately picked it up in an 8oz candle without having ever smelled it because I heard rave reviews since it first came out in February 2012. To me, it smells like Best Friends and Bella Swan combined and I love it. The Best Friends note is stronger, but it does have some of the florals/feminine musk that are in Bella. Great fragrance and I'm glad I went straight for the candle!

Day 188 - Sonny and Cher

Currently Burning: Sonny and Cher

Sonny and Cher (4): This fragrance was created for a couple on YouTube. I get a lot of peppermint, but there's also some sweetness in it as well. I also get the vanilla and green notes. It's a nice minty scent. The throw is pretty strong and I do enjoy it. Not sure if I would like a candle in it, but maybe.

Day 187 - Warm Apple Fritters

Currently Burning: Warm Apple Fritters

Now onto the daily review!

Warm Apple Fritters (3): This is a customer creation of Macintosh Apple and Cinnamon Donuts. On cold, the only thing I get is really strong mac apple with the slightest touch of cinnamon. Warm throw though it's a really good balance of the two. Doesn't really smell true to the name since it's more of a fresh apple than a baked apple, but it's still good none-the-less. The throw is strong too so that's a plus.

Day 186 - Weekly Scent Recap #16

Currently Burning: Tropical Blast

Now onto the daily review!

Tropical Blast (4): This is a combination of pineapple, mango, papaya, coconut, and watermelon. I can definitely get all of the notes. I smell melon the strongest followed by the pineapple/coconut. This is also the bottom layer in the Hawaiian Colada Sweet Treat which I am loving for summer!! Pretty decent throw. Not sure if I would buy this one on its own since I love the sweet treat so much though.

Well today is July 1st which means that I'm at the halfway point with my blog. I've been going strong for 6 months now! This has been so much fun and I've really gotten a new appreciation for wax along the way. Thanks to all my followers for sticking with me!

Watermelon Cupcake (5): This is a customer creation of Tiffany-D and Pink Cupcake. I don't really care for either scent on their own, but together they are amazing!!! Candle-worthy for sure! The throw is also pretty strong.
