Day 366 - Vanilla Bean & Boysenberry

Currently Burning: Vanilla Bean & Boysenberry

Well, I've made it to the end of Project 365 (which I didn't realize at the time I had started on a Leap Year and therefore would be Project 366 LOL). Over a year ago I decided that I wanted to try to melt through one Candles by Victoria scent per day for all of 2012. I didn't realize that by doing that I would be getting to know an amazing community and some of the best people I could ever hope to meet. 2012 has been a really amazing year for me and I'm so glad that I decided to do this project, stick to it, and expand it beyond this blog to Facebook, YouTube, and the Message Board. 

2013 should be another amazing year and I'm not planning on stopping this project just because the year is over. I may not post EVERY day like I have in the past, but I will definitely continue this blog. I want to give a huge thanks to all of my followers, subscribers, and friends for giving me the encouragement to keep going as well as providing lots of love and laughs along the way :)

Love you all!

Vanilla Bean & Boysenberry (3): This is a basic vanilla scent with a little something extra. The boysenberry adds almost like a toasted marshmallow type of scent to it. However, it also has kind of a weird note too it and it's not super strong.

Day 365 - Cranberry Peppermint

Currently Burning: Cranberry Peppermint

Now onto the daily review!

Cranberry Peppermint (2): I think I've decided that I do not like Victoria's cranberry scent. This one reminds me of the fruity candy cane scents like Cherry Candy Cane and Blueberry Candy Cane. It's ok...but like I said cranberry just doesn't do it for me.

Day 364 - Cinnamon Coffee

Currently Burning: Cinnamon Coffee

Now onto the daily review!

Cinnamon Coffee (3): This is a strange one. The Cinnamon is super sweet and the coffee scent is very light. In fact I threw in an entire scent shot and I'm only getting a medium throw. It's a good sweet one but it's probably too light for me to repurchase.

Day 363 - Pumpkin Eggnog

Currently Burning: Pumpkin Eggnog

Now onto the daily review!

Pumpkin Eggnog (2): This is a non-spicy pumpkin mixed with the eggnog scent. It's not bad, but it's not really all that special either. I like regular eggnog better.

Day 362 - Wintery Candy Apple

Currently Burning: Wintery Candy Apple

Now onto the daily review!

Wintery Candy Apple (5): This is a Bath & Body Works dupe for Winter Candy Apple. It is a VERY close dupe. I love this more than the BBW version because I can actually smell it when it's warmed up! Perfect :)

Day 361 - Cold December Night

Currently Burning: Cold December Night

Now onto the daily review!

Cold December Night (5): This is a mix of Sweet Snow and Sugared Spruce and I think they go wonderfully together. The Sugared Spruce is probably just a touch stronger warm but it's still an amazing blend. Sweet Snow is peppermint and vanilla and it just goes really awesome with the Christmas Tree scent of Sugared Spruce. I really want to get the coffee cup cutie in this one.

Day 360 - Charlie Brown Christmas

Currently Burning: Charlie Brown Christmas

Now onto the daily review!

Charlie Brown Christmas (3): This one is interesting...the description lists a bunch of fruity and floral notes in addition to bakery and spice, but I only get bakery and spice. It's nice...but it doesn't scream Christmas by any stretch of the imagination.

Day 359 - Victorian Christmas

Currently Burning: Victorian Christmas

Now onto the daily review!

Victorian Christmas (3): This is a mixture of spices and some evergreen notes. I get a whole lot of cinnamon and clove in this one with just a slight background of some kind of evergreen. I'm not sure if it's Fir or Pine.

Day 358 - Frosted Lime Cupcake

Currently Burning: Frosted Lime Cupcake

Now onto the daily review!

Frosted Lime Cupcake (2): I don't think I like the way that the lime and bakery note are combining with this one. It does smell like the name says, but it's just not for me.

Day 357 - Barefoot in Blue Jeans

Currently Burning: Barefoot in Blue Jeans

Now onto the daily review!

Barefoot in Blue Jeans (5): This is a mixture of Blue Sugar Cotton Candy and Sexy in Stilettos. I love both scents on their own and together they are amazing! It's sweet and has nuances of masculine and feminine perfumes. Wonderful.

Fresh Baked Bread (1): I had this one in a candle awhile back, but I had to give it to a friend because I really didn't like it. It's a very yeasty scent.

Day 355 - Bayberry

Currently Burning: Bayberry

Now onto the daily review!

Bayberry (1): This is supposed to be a mix of woodsy notes and Eucalyptus. However, I get some really strong spice note out of it that I do not like.

Day 354 - Star of Bethlehem

Currently Burning: Star of Bethlehem

Now onto the daily review!

Star of Bethlehem (4): This is a mixture of frankincense, orange, clove, and cinnamon. I mostly get a slightly spicy orange. I don't really get any of the incense. It's a very nice Christmas scent!

Day 353 - Christmas Apple Cider Snap

Currently Burning: Christmas Apple Cider Snap

Now onto the daily review!

Christmas Apple Cider Snap (4): This is a nice apple cider scent, but it also has that red hot cinnamon in it. I like this one better than just plain Apple Cider but I don't think it's a favorite still.

Day 352 - Christmas Pineberry Bough

Currently Burning: Christmas Pineberry Bough

Now onto the daily review!

Christmas Pineberry Bough (1): This is a mix of Mulberry and Christmas Tree. I don't really like either scent on their own and together they are just WAY too overpowering. This one smells like mulberry pine and I am not a fan.

Deep Mountain Maple (2): This one smells like maple syrup but it's a very light scent.

Day 350 - Eggnog

Currently Burning: Eggnog

Now onto the daily review!

Eggnog (3): This smells pretty much like the namesake! I really wish it was stronger, but it does smell really nice and would probably do great in a smaller room.

Day 349 - Holiday Homebrew

Currently Burning: Holiday Homebrew

Now onto the daily review!

Holiday Homebrew (2): This is a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and vanilla. It is SUPER spicy. A little too spicy for my nose. I tried throwing in another vanilla scent to tone it down some. It helped to tone down the clove for sure but the cinnamon is still pretty strong.

Day 348 - Captain Crunch Berries

Currently Burning: Captain Crunch Berries

Now onto the daily review!

Captain Crunch Berries (4): This smells pretty close to the cereal. This is probably my favorite of all of Victoria's cereal scents (Fruit Loops and Trix are for Kids being the other two). Warm it's awesome. Sweet berries and cereal.

Day 347 - White Christmas

Currently Burning: White Christmas

White Christmas (4): This is the winter version of White Ginger. The only different between the two, is this one has pine added. I REALLY love the way the floral and the pine interact. It's great

Day 346 - Honey Vanilla Love Dust

Currently Burning: Honey Vanilla Love Dust

Now onto the daily review!

Honey Vanilla Love Dust (3): This is a chocolate scent, but is surprisingly a pretty light thrower. It also has something else in it that I swear smells like corn chips. Not bad, but pretty light.

Day 345 - Christmas Tree

Currently Burning: Christmas Tree

Now onto the daily review!

Christmas Tree (2): This is just straight up pine and is super strong. I prefer Sugared Spruce. It does mellow out after a few hours, but still isn't a scent for me.

Day 344 - Frankincense and Myrrh

Currently Burning: Frankincense and Myrrh

Now onto the daily review!

Frankincense and Myrrh (3): I like this one on cold throw, but it's extremely light on warm throw. I may need to let this cure even more because I've had it for over a month already. It smells mostly like incense.

Day 343 - Mistletoe

Currently Burning: Mistletoe

Now onto the daily review!

Mistletoe (3): This is a blend of cinnamon stick and orange. It's different from Hollyberry though because this one is only cinnamon.

Day 342 - Christmas Eve

Currently Burning: Christmas Eve

Now onto the daily review!

Christmas Eve (3): This one is super spicy! It smells like a really spicy eggnog. I prefer more of a creamy eggnog so this one is a little too spicy for me.

Trix are for Kids (4): This is a nice citrus cereal scent. It is kind of like fruit loops, but this has a lot more lemon in it.

Currently Burning: Christmas Cabin

Christmas Cabin (4): This is a nice sweet berry scent. It smells mostly like Bayberry, but there is some additional citrus and spice in it. It's a very nice Christmas scent and is available as a Coffee Cup Cutie!

Holiday Wassail (4): This is a nice apple cider scent. It's got a touch more spice than Apple Cider and also has some additional fruity notes that set it apart though!

Day 338 - Christmas Lane

Currently Burning: Christmas Lane

Christmas Lane (2): This is a mix of apples, oak, balsam, fir, and pine with cinnamon and clove. It is super strong! I get a lot of spice and evergreen notes. It does have a slight fruity note to it, but the clove and pine really take it over.

Day 337 - Hollyberry

Currently Burning: Hollyberry

Now onto the daily review!

Hollyberry (3): This is supposed to be cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and orange peel. It mostly smells like a spicy orange but there is a slight creaminess from the vanilla. Pretty good, but also pretty standard for a Christmas scent.

Day 336 - Get Me S'More

Currently Burning: Get Me S'More

Now onto the daily review!

Get Me S'More (4): This is a nice chocolate scent, but I also get a strong graham cracker note, and a touch of marshmallow. Pretty accurate to an actual s'more!
