Day 710 - Nautica for Men


Nautica for Men (3): This would be great for Men in Bath and Body. It smells like a soapy man. Super good! Not sure if it's a great dupe or not but it is very nice smelling and not too overpowering.

Day 709 - Turtle Cheesecake


Turtle Cheesecake (3): This one is nice but not a favorite. It's a chocolate, caramel, cheesecake scent. The chocolate is bordering on fake smelling though so that's what's throwing it for me. The caramel and cheesecake parts are awesome though!

Day 708 - Muscadine


Muscadine (3): This what I wanted a grape scent to be. It's very much a candied grape, but it does not smell powdery or medicinal at all. Perfect grape scent!

Day 707 - Bamboo & Grated Ginger


Bamboo & Grated Ginger (2): Not really a favorite. It smells similar to Badedas and Bamboo & Sugar Cane. Very green and a little more herbal than Bamboo & Sugar Cane which is sweeter. I think if you like clean scents this would be a good one for you!

Day 706 - Pumpkin Cheesecake


Pumpkin Cheesecake (4): I really enjoyed this pumpkin scent! It's not a very spicy one. Much more of a creamy pumpkin so if that's what you're looking for then this is the one for you!!

Day 705 - Maple Butter Crunch


Maple Butter Crunch (2): This is a really sickeningly sweet bakery scent. I get the butter for sure and then the maple is also there. I think this one is better blended than it is by itself.

Day 704 - Strawberry Kettle Corn


Strawberry Kettle Corn (4): This is a mixed of Fresh Picked Strawberry and Kettle Corn. It's a super good strawberry scent. I really enjoy this type of strawberry and it mixes amazingly with a sweet popcorn.

Day 703 - Dewberry


Dewberry (3): Combo of mulberry and honeydew melon. This one surprised me because I thought I would hate it. It's really not that bad and kind of reminds me of bubblegum. Definitely not what I was expecting since I don't really care for either note by itself but together they are nice!

Day 702 - Blackberry Sage


Blackberry Sage (2): I know a lot of people really enjoy this one but it really wasn't for me. The blackberry is kind of perfumy smelling. Not sure if I really get sage, but there is kind of a clean note in the background.

Day 701 - Pizzelle


Pizzelle (4): Awesome bakery scent. Pizzelles are sort of like Italian waffle cones - so it does smell very similar to a waffle cone scent. A lot stronger than I thought it would be too!

Day 700 - Orange Cranberry Muffin


Orange Cranberry Muffin (1): Not a favorite at all. I really dislike Victoria's cranberry and it just kind of ruins the orange muffin part for me. I think if the Cranberry were left out this would be great but alas it was a dud for me.

Day 699 - Butternut Pumpkin


Butternut Pumpkin (2): This is supposed to be a non-spicy pumpkin scent, but I definitely get a lot of spice (cinnamon & nutmeg). Not as much as some of the other pumpkins, but definitely more than Pumpkin Cheesecake, Pumpkin Chocolate, or even Pumpkin Pickin.

Day 698 - Butterscotch Pecan Pie


Butterscotch Pecan Pie (5): Seriously amazing bakery scent. While it does smell very similar to Sweet Potato Pie and Pecan Pie, I still love it. Victoria has an AMAZING butterscotch scent and this one is no different. Perfect for Thanksgiving/Christmas. Smells exactly like pecan pie filling with just a touch of butterscotch added.

Day 697 - Eternal Ember


Eternal Ember (4): I really enjoyed this one. It is a cologne scent, but it also has a very pretty Hawaiian Floral note to it that makes it kind of feminine. The cologne note comes from Mahogany - which isn't a scent that I care for on its own but mixed VERY well with the floral and patchouli notes in this one!

Day 696 - French Toast


French Toast (5): This one is PERFECT! Smells exactly like the name says. I get the maple and bread and cinnamon. Really great morning pick me up scent!

Day 695 - Autumn Brittle


Autumn Brittle (3): This one is Almond, Pumpkin, Cranberry, & Honey. I mostly got honey because it smelled very similar to Bath Time with Pooh. It didn't have the clean note - that was replaced with what I guess was a combination of pumpkin/cranberry. It's not bad, but there's nothing about it that reminds me of Autumn.

Day 694 - Nectarine Plum Oatmeal Strudel


Nectarine Plum Oatmeal Strudel (1): I really did not care for this one. It smelled like the Porridge Pot mixed with a plum scent. I feel like plum doesn't translate very well to wax form because it never smells sweet to me - more like a really deep fruit smell. I didn't really get nectarine out of it at all.

Day 693 - Cool Citrus Basil


Cool Citrus Basil (3): This one sort of reminded me of Coconut Lime Verbena. I believe it is a Bath and Body Works dupe. It's a citrus note mixed with a green scent. Very nice for a bathroom but not really something I would melt everyday.

Day 692 - Pink Sugar Cookie


Pink Sugar Cookie (4): This is a blend of Pink Sugar and Sugar Cookie. It's very good but definitely stronger on the Pink Sugar. I really like the way the two blend though and I can definitely see getting a candle of this one!

Day 691 - Sandalwood & Leather


Sandalwood & Leather (4): This is exactly what I was hoping it would be. Very good combo of the two scents. The leather isn't spicy like plain Leather was for me. I think the Sandalwood does a really nice job of toning it down. If you like Earthy scents this one is a must!!

Day 690 - Peach Preserves



Peach Preserves (5): This is one that I didn't love the first time I had it. It's a component of Cajun Cornbread & Mama's Peach Cobbler - my favorite. I think it's just one my nose had to get used to because I can't get enough of it now. Super sweet peach jam or peach pie filling type of scent. LOOOOOVE!!!

Day 689 - Razamataz Hazelnut Coffee



Razamataz Hazelnut Coffee (5): I absolutely loved this one!!! SO much better than Raspberry White Mocha Latte. It's got raspberry and blackberry mixed with a super good hazelnut coffee scent. I kept huffing the air with this one!!

Day 688 - Brooke's Delight



Brooke's Delight (3): This is a combo of Tangerine & Fresh Oranges. It's definitely more of a juicy citrus than a powdered one - which is good because Tangerine scents usually smell very powdery to me. If you're looking for that super fresh orange smell, this is the one!

Day 687 - Mediterranean Fig



Mediterranean Fig (5): This one is nice. Earthy and clean. I think it would be really good to melt as winter is ending and spring is just beginning to show itself. It's slightly perfumey from the fig and smells much more clean warmed up.

Day 686 - Apple Jack N Orange Peel



Apple Jack N Orange Peel (2): While I liked this better than Apple Jack N Peel, it still wasn't a favorite. The orange is very much an orange rind type of smell and the apple smells kind of like a craft store apple with no spice - very perfumey.

Day 685 - Coconut Cake



Coconut Cake (3): This was a really nice coconut bakery scent. It smells a little like tanning oil cold but warmed up smells more like the real thing. I still like Coconut Cream Pie better but this one is good!

Day 684 - Sugared Shortbread



Sugared Shortbread (3): This is just a really plain vanilla bakery kind of scent to me. Doesn't really stand out. It's in the same vein as a Granny's Pie Crust type of scent.

Day 683 - Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake



Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake (5): This is a mix of Sugared Corn Pudding and Spiced Pumpkin Chutney. It is super yummy warmed up! Smells dead on to the name!!

Day 682 - Raspberry Coconut Muffin



Raspberry Coconut Muffin (4): This one is a really good fruity bakery scent! It came out the same time as Strawberry White Cake and they do have some similarities! This one is a little more tart than Strawberry White Cake but it is still super yummy warmed up! More of the bakery note comes out and the raspberry is much sweeter once it's warmed up.

Day 681 - Chocolate Zucchini Bread



Chocolate Zucchini Bread (4): This is a mix of Fudge Brownie and Zucchini Bread. They mix fantastically! Fudge Brownie is one of my all-time favorite chocolate scents and it really does a good job with the Zucchini Bread. Even though I'm not really a zucchini person this one was really nice!

Day 680 - Hot Toddy



Hot Toddy (4): This is what I wanted Apple Cider to smell like! It's a much sweeter version of cider because it has a fresh apple and orange note along with the cinnamon and clove. If you thought Apple Cider was too spicy then give this one a try!

Saturday, November 9, 2013

Day 679 - White Peach & Silk Blossom



White Peach & Silk Blossom (3): This reminds me of the way that Bath and Body Works smells. I've heard others say that it's a dupe for the Caress body wash but I'm not sure about that. It's a very strong clean scent with a little bit of a fruit note to it. Would probably be really good in bath and body!

Day 678 - Sugar Cookies



Sugar Cookies (4): This one is much better warmed up. Cold it smells a little bit funky, but warm it smells like barely baked sugar cookies - almost like Sugar Cookie Dough Bread type scents. Super yummy!!

Day 677 - I'll Have What She's Having



I'll Have What She's Having (5): This is a Create-a-Scent that I actually came up with last year. It was added to the line in February. It's a mix of Chocolate Chip Cookies and Bear Claws and is absolutely wonderful! The name is a play off of the quote from When Harry Met Sally because we were joking that day about scents that gave us "scentgasms". I think Bear Claws is one of the best bakery scents out there and it is really complemented well by adding the dash of chocolate and cookie. Super yummy for bakery lovers!

Day 676 - Candy Crush



Candy Crush (5): This is a mix of Pink Bubblegum Crush and Vanilla Sugar. Super duper sweet candy scent. I LOVE how the Vanilla Sugar (warm vanilla sugar BBW dupe) mixes with the Pink Bubblegum Crush (Candy Fluff LUSH dupe). Absolutely perfect blend if you love super sweet scents!

Day 675 - Peach Magnolia Raspberry



Peach Magnolia Raspberry (4): I'm not sure where the scent description is going with this one! I just smell the three notes listed here. I would prefer it more if it was just a peach raspberry scent though because the magnolia does leave a weird scent in the air after it cools. Super juicy raspberry and peach though!

Day 674 - Apricot Freesia



Apricot Freesia (3): Smells very similar to Apricot Crumb Cake but without the bakery note. I don't really get a floral out of this, just a straight up apricot. If you've never smelled one it's similar to a peach but not as juicy and sweet.

Day 673 - Buttered Popcorn



Buttered Popcorn (3): Definitely realistic - though more buttery than I would like. It doesn't smell like a fake buttered popcorn scent (like a Jelly Belly) but much more dead on to the real thing - just with a TON of butter on it!

Day 672 - Brown Sugar Pecan



Brown Sugar Pecan (4): I'm usually not a fan of nutty scents but this one was good! The brown sugar didn't make this smell like pecan pie, but it was still yummy. Definitely my favorite of the brown sugar scents!

Day 671 - Cider Web



Cider Web (4): Great mix of Apple Cider and Sugar Corn Pudding! I really love how the SCP mellows out and sweetens the Apple Cider. This one is probably my favorite cider scent because of how sweet it is!

Day 670 - Black Licorice



Black Licorice (3): This is one that I like when I'm in the mood for it. I think it smells more like a sweeter candied licorice (like Good n Plenty) rather than straight licorice. Very good for Halloween!

Day 669 - I Put a Smell on You



I Put a Smell on You (5): This is a very unique scent! It's a blend of Love Potion No. 9 and Watermelon Cupcake. I'm not really a fan of watermelon cupcake, but blended with LP#9 and it is amazing!! It's a really deep sweet perfume scent with extra sweetness from the watermelon cupcake. I foresee a candle in this scent in my future!!

Day 668 - Watermelon Lemon Lime Cranberry Fizz



Watermelon Lemon Lime Cranberry Fizz (5): I thoroughly enjoyed this one! It's a really good mix of a fizzy lemon lime with a super juicy watermelon and a tart cranberry. Perfect balance of sweet and sour! Would love a candle in this for the summer!

Day 667 - Charleston Breeze



Charleston Breeze (1): You would have to love florals - especially lily of the valley and jasmine - to like this one. It is super perfumy and floral. I thought I kept smelling magnolia but I don't think that's actually in here.

Day 666 - Buttercream



Buttercream (3): This is a really nice buttery frosting scent. It's not super strong, but it is very sweet. It doesn't smell fake to me which is really nice!

Cake Bake (2): This one just smells like cherry almond. I didn't really get a cake note from it.

Day 664 - Strawberry Crunch



Strawberry Crunch (4): This was a really nice strawberry. It reminded me of a strawberry cereal type of scent. If you like Strawberry Danish then this one is right up your alley - it's like Strawberry Danish without the salty bread note.

Thursday, October 24, 2013

Day 663 - Sleepy Hollow


Sleepy Hollow (3): This is a CAS by Jandre and is a mix of Why I Autumn and Crackling Birch. I mostly get Crackling Birch from it but the Why I Autumn does a really nice job of toning it down and sweetening it. Definitely a woodsy cologne type of scent so if you're into those kind of manly scents then this is right up your alley!

Day 662 - Pumpkin White Chocolate



Pumpkin White Chocolate (3): This does not smell like white chocolate to me - it smells very similar to Pumpkin Chocolate. The pumpkin is slightly spicy and the chocolate note really comes out. It's a nice scent but it definitely isn't what I was expecting.

Remember to keep those wicks trimmed!

Tuesday, October 22, 2013

Day 661 - Orange Sandalwood



Orange Sandalwood (3): I think if this one was stronger I would have liked it a lot more. The Sandalwood really tones down the orange when it's warmed up. Cold, the orange is very authentic and fresh smelling. Warmed up it really just fizzled in the background with me catching a few whiffs here and there.
