Day 244 - Daffodil

Currently Burning: Daffodil

Now onto the daily review!

Daffodil (5): I love this one! It's a really pretty sweet floral. Similar to White Ginger or Carnation, but better IMO. Definitely give this one a try even if you don't like florals because it is not perfumy or overpowering at all!

Coconut Lemongrass (3): I don't normally like lemongrass, but this is a really nice combo. The coconut is super creamy and really tones down the lemongrass.

Tahitian Passion (4):This is VERY similar to Passion Fruit. I think I like this one just a touch more, but the two smell almost identical.

Day 239 - Sweet Southern Breakfast

Currently Burning: Sweet Southern Breakfast

Now onto the daily review!

Sweet Southern Breakfast (3): This is nice, but it doesn't really remind me of breakfast. This is a customer creation of Kim's Country Cornbread and Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam. I definitely get the cornbread and the strawberry jam. The peanut butter just adds a slight creaminess. This reminds me a lot of cornbread with strawberry jam on top. Good, but not breakfast lol

Day 238 - Sweet Angel Dust

Currently Burning: Sweet Angel Dust

Now onto the daily review!

Sweet Angel Dust (3): This smells like a mix of Pink Bubble Gum Crush and Heavy Metal. Maybe like 3/4 PBGC and 1/4 HM. I love PBGC and really dislike HM so this one is pretty good, but I like Pink Bubble Gum Crush just a little more.

Day 237 - Texas Summer

Currently Burning: Texas Summer

Now onto the daily review!

Texas Summer (4): This is a mix of bluebonnet, lilac, and magnolia. I definitely get the lilac and magnolia out of it. I was surprised at how light this scent was for a floral. The scent was still pretty strong, but it was not overpowering like most scents with magnolia tend to be. Very nice floral.

Day 236 - Skinny Dippin'

Currently Burning: Skinny Dippin'

Now onto the daily review!

Skinny Dippin' (3): This is an interesting scent. It definitely has a lot of green notes, but it also has some nice fruity notes. It's a little bit too green for me, but it's still a nice summer scent.

Day 235 - Weekly Scent Recap #23

Currently Burning: Put a Ring On It

Now onto the daily review!

Put a Ring On It (3): On cold this almost smells like when you open up a can of paint...but I like it in a weird way! I don't really get much of that on warm throw. I mostly get some floral and green notes out of this one. Supposedly it has chocolate, but I don't really get that at all. It's ok, but not great.

Day 233 - Pop Rocks

Currently Burning: Pop Rocks

Now onto the daily review!

Pop Rocks (4): This is a mix made by my good friend Summer. It's Pink Sugar and Fizzy Pop. I mostly get the fizzy pop, but the pink sugar adds some really nice sweetness to it. I like this one a lot more than plain fizzy pop, but like Granny's Pie Crust, Fizzy Pop is one of the super popular ones that I'm not crazy about.

Cafe Au Lait (4): This is a great coffee scent. It's slightly nutty, but mostly what I get is a very creamy coffee. I'm loving Victoria's coffee scents and cannot wait to try more!!

Day 231 - August 1st Haul

Currently Burning: St. Barts

Feels good to be blogging about my CBV orders again! I feel like I haven't done this the past few times I ordered, but I knew that I had to get these gorgeous glitter candles up here. 

I got all of the new scents for August and I'm loving how most of them are good early Fall transition scents.

Autumn Apple: Autumn Leaves and Apple Cider
Under the Harvest Moon: Leaves Type and Why I Autumn
Under the Big Top: Cotton Candy, Fresh Picked Strawberry, and Caramelized Pralines
Ring Master: Cotton Candy and Fresh Picked Strawberry
Sticky Toffeecorn: Kettle Corn and Caramelized Pralines
Banana Fritters: Elvis and Cinnamon Donuts
Granny's Apron (formerly Nasty Granny): Zucchini Bread and Granny's Pie Crust
Coconut Banana Blast (Free SS): Coconut, Banana, and Hawaiian Tropics

I got some of the new melts as well

Strawberry Melts
Chocolate Melts
Reese's Peanut Butter Melts

The only candle I ordered this time around was a 22oz tureen in Blue glitter. I got it in the scent Barefoot in Blue Jeans which is a customer creation of Blue Sugar Cotton Candy and Sexy in Stilettos. I love both scents individually and together they are perfect!!

I am currently the Member of the Month on the Pouring Pot Message Board. I really appreciate both being nominated and selected as the August MOTM. It means a lot to me :) For my candle, Victoria picked out the Love, Victoria jar with Copper glitter. The scent is Under the Harvest Moon which I am so excited for because it is a perfect early fall scent to me. I cannot wait to light this bad boy up in September!!!

Now onto the daily review!

St. Barts (3): This is a really nice fruity scent. It's a mixture of coconut colada and pomegranate. I get mostly the creamy coconut colada with just a hint of the pomegranate. I almost get melons out of this too so I'm not sure where that's coming from.

Day 229 - Strawberry Danish

Currently Burning: Strawberry Danish

Now onto the daily review!

Strawberry Danish (3): I didn't really get much strawberry out of this one. It mostly was that bakery note that's in Kim's Country Cornbread. Some describe it as salty but I would say it's definitely savory and not sweet at all.

Day 228 - Lighthouse Point

Currently Burning: Lighthouse Point

Lighthouse Point (3): This one is just ok to me. It smells a lot like an Axe shower gel. Not my favorite, but also not bad. The throw is pretty strong though!

Cucumber Cantaloupe (4): This is a really nice mix of the two. I get a little bit more cantaloupe on warm throw, but the cucumber is definitely there. Good throw too!

Pina Rita (3): This is a combo of Pina Colada and Strawberry Margarita. I get almost all pina colada. It's good, but I wish it had more of the margarita.

Hell on Heels (1): Something about this scent I REALLY dislike on warm throw. Cold it's very citrusy but on warm some other note comes out that smells almost like body odor.

Day 224 - Tropical Vacation

Currently Burning: Tropical Vacation

Now onto the daily review!

Tropical Vacation (4): This is a blend of coconut, orange, and musk. To me, I almost get cantaloupe out of it though! It's a great tropical/summer scent. The coconut is very creamy in it. The musk is very light because I don't really get much of a perfume/cologne note.

Day 223 - Crepe Myrtle

Currently Burning: Crepe Myrtle

Now onto the daily review!

Crepe Myrtle (2): This was WAY too strong for me. Maybe next time I'll try just 1/4 instead of 1/2 of a scent shot. It's honeysuckle, citrus, and mahogany.

Passion Fruit (4): This is a very nice fruity scent! I don't really get particular notes, but I know that it's supposed to be a blend. Good throw too!

Palm Island (3): This is a very complex tropical scent. It's almost herbal and earthy while at the same time fruity and floral. It's ok, but not that great.

Day 217 - Breaking Dawn

Currently Burning: Breaking Dawn

Now onto the daily review!

Breaking Dawn (2): This is an addition onto the Twilight series that Victoria has. The strongest note that I get is Cedar. There are a few other fruits/florals in here, but the cedar really dominates. Probably won't be getting this one again because I'm not the biggest fan of cedar.

Currently Burning: Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam

Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam (3): This is a lot better warm than cold! I love how the peanut butter tones down the strawberry jam. I don't typically like that strawberry jam scent, but this is pretty good. The throw is good.

Blueberry Cheesecake (4): This is a really creamy blueberry. It's definitely one of the better blueberry scents, but I think I still prefer blueberry cobbler and blueberry monkey bread :)
