Day 397 - Nutty Candied Apple


Currently Burning: Nutty Candied Apple

Now onto the daily review!


Nutty Candied Apple (3): I really like the candy apple in this, but don't really like the nutty note. It's just really heavy smelling. If I could get just the candied apple it would be perfect.

Snowberry (4): This is a very nice sweet berry mixed with cinnamon and peppermint. The berries are the dominant note which I really like.

Amaretto Eggnog (2): This is kind of a creamy version of amaretto. It's ok but I don't really like cherry almond scents.

Crackling Birch (2): This reminds me of tuxedo because it's a woody cologne type of scent. It's all right but not really my cup of tea

Day 392 - Let It Snow


Currently Burning: Let It Snow

Now onto the daily review!


Let It Snow (2): This is a mix of eucalyptus, peppermint, and cinnamon. I'm not really huge fan of any of these scents individually so together they aren't really doing it for me. Mostly I get the peppermint and cinnamon with just a little bit of eucalyptus (which does redeem it somewhat since peppermint and cinnamon are generally pretty good together).

Day 391 - Rolling in the Deep


Currently Burning: Rolling in the Deep

Now onto the daily review!


Rolling in the Deep (1): Something about this one is triggering a headache for me - which almost never happens. It reminds me of a lotion type of scent. It would be ok if it weren't for the fact that it makes my head hurt...

Pumpkin Pear Strudel (4): This is a very nice fresh pear scent with some pumpkin added. It just barely has a touch of bakery to it but it's mostly fresh pear.

Caramel Coffee Cake (4): This is a very nice coffee bakery scent. It's the perfect blend of all three notes: caramel, coffee, and cake.

Caramel Cream Eggnog (4): This is a really nice creamy eggnog with a lot of caramel added in. This one really impressed me warmed up and might bump out plain eggnog from the top of my favorite eggnog scents!

Day 387 - Womanizer


Currently Burning: Womanizer

Now onto the daily review!


Womanizer (4): Something about this reminds me of a tomato leaf. I like this MUCH better warmed up than I did on cold. Warmed up its a nice fruity scent with some green notes. I would probably get a mini candle in this one - it's nice but I don't think I would want it all the time.

Sage & Citrus (3): This is a Yankee dupe and it's a pretty good dupe. This is a very earthy sage with just a touch of an orange note. It's ok but not something that I would want all the time.

Day 385 - Grapefruit Peppermint

Grapefruit Peppermint (2): This is similar to the fruity candy cane scents but the peppermint is much stronger. I'm not the biggest fan of mint, but if you love mint this is a good one!

Day 384 - Coffee Bean

Coffee Bean (3): This is just a straight up black coffee scent. If you like coffee this is a good one, but personally I like my coffee scents blended with something else.

Cajun Cornbread (5): I LOVE this one!! This is a mix of Kim's Country Cornbread and Peach Preserves and it is freaking phenomenal. It's the top layer of Momma's Peach Cobbler which is hands down my favorite candle from CBV.

Day 382 - Between the Sheets


Currently Burning: Between the Sheets

Now onto the daily review!


Between the Sheets (4): This is in the top shelf/black label line. It's a very nice perfumy/cologne type of scent. It's slightly woodsy but at the same time is also very sweet. It's sort of in the same vein as Manhattan is.

Snuggle Up (1): This is a Lush dupe for the Comforter bubble bar. To me it smells like black licorice and I hate it. I have no idea if it smells accurate to the comforter but this one is not for me.

Day 379 - Winter Snowflake

Winter Snowflake (4): This is a mixture of peppermint and pine but it also has some creamy vanilla in it. This is a great blend. The vanilla is dominant on warm through on a background of peppermint and pine. Great for winter!

Rosemary Mint (3): This is a very herbal rosemary mixed with peppermint. It's actually not as overpowering as I thought it would be past on cold sniff. It's actually very nice warmed up.

Angel Food Cake (3): This is a cherry almond scent, but it also has a background of real angel food cake. It's a very nice bakery one, but if you don't like cherry almond then this one isn't for you.

Day 376 - Pumpkin Vanilla


Currently Burning: Pumpkin Vanilla

Now onto the daily review!


Pumpkin Vanilla (5): This is a very good pumpkin scent. It's slightly creamy from the vanilla but it also has some spiciness to it. It's spicier than I thought it would be based on the name, and Pumpkin Pickin smells more like what I thought this would smell like. However, if you like Pumpkin this is a definite winner!

Day 375 - Citrus Spice


Currently Burning: Citrus Spice

Now onto the daily review!


Citrus Spice (3): This is a Yankee dupe and is a mix of orange, lemon, cinnamon, and clove. This is similar to orange clove, but it's a little bit spicier, and a little bit brighter from the lemon. I think I like Orange Clove just a hair more than this one.

Day 373 - Soothe


Currently Burning: Soothe

Now onto the daily review!


Soothe (1): This is a mixture of eucalyptus, patchouli, lemon, and basil. It almost smells like Black Pepper to me warmed up and on cold throw. I'm so glad I only had 1/4 of this one because any more and it would have been way too strong and overpowering.

Sea Salt Caramels (3): This one smells like Caramelized Pralines without the nutty note. However, it's no where near the strength of Caramelized Pralines.

Cranberry Brulee (4): Well I said I didn't like Victoria's Cranberry scent, but I guess I'm eating my words now. This one is really good! It doesn't have the bitterness that other cranberry scents have. It has the creaminess from the Creme Brulee which is really helping!

Day 370 - Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee


Currently Burning: Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee

Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee (3): I liked this one better on cold throw than warm throw. Cold throw it's a really good balance of all three, but on warm throw it's almost all Hazelnut. Again, not the biggest fan of nutty scents so I wish more of the Vanilla and Coffee came out.

Orange Clove (4): This one is actually really nice! I love how the orange mixes with the spice note. I wouldn't necessarily say it's clove because normally I don't like that spice. Fruity without being too spicy.

Happy 2013 everyone! Post #1 of the New Year :)

Cranberry Banana Flip (2): Again...not a fan of cranberry. This one does have Victoria's banana scent in it so it is somewhat redeemed, but the cranberry really kills it for me.
