Day 609 - Gentleman's Coconut Bay Rum



Gentleman's Coconut Bay Rum (3): This is a cologne scent. It's like a sweet tropical cologne. It has cedar and patchouli so it does have some earthiness. It's also very strong!

Day 608 - Day Dreams



Day Dreams (1): This is a mix of Lilac, Lavender, & Jasmine. The lavender is the strongest note followed by jasmine. More of the lilac comes out warmed up but it's still not a favorite. The lavender note is very herbal just like all of her lavender scents with the exception of Shangri-La.

Day 607 - Tiny Bubbles



Tiny Bubbles (3): The first note is grapefruit but it also has banana and some melons. It's slightly bitter from the grapefruit but the other notes do a nice job of helping to sweeten it up.

Day 606 - Morning in Madrid



Morning in Madrid (5): This smells like a Sweet Orange Chili Pepper scent. It's a really sweet orange with just a slight kick from a spicy note.

Day 605 - Raspberry Rainbow



Raspberry Rainbow (5): This reminds me of the way that Raspberry Mamba candies smell. It's super juicy and sweet. Love it!

Day 603 - Glo by JLo



Glo by JLo (1): This is a perfume dupe. I'm not sure how close it is to the real thing. This has a plastic note to it that I really do not like. It kind of reminds me of the way that the cool water rubber duck smelled.

Day 602 - Lemongrass & Cedar



Lemongrass and Cedar (1): The cedar is the stronger of the two notes. A little lemongrass comes out warm but it's mostly cedar. I'm not really a fan of either scents but they do mix well together.

Day 601 - Pineapple Jasmine



Pineapple Jasmine (2): When I first got this one, I thought that the two notes didn't really work well together. More of the pineapple comes out now, but the jasmine is still an odd floral to mix with the pineapple. I think it would be much better with something like plumeria.

Day 600 - Strawberry Shortcake



Strawberry Shortcake (3): This strawberry is somewhere in between a Fresh Picked Strawberry and a Strawberry Jam. It has a cake note in it as well. Not my favorite strawberry scent from CBV but it's all right.

Day 599 - Orange Keylime



Orange Keylime (3): This is a really nice citrus scent. The key lime is very tart and the orange is sweet so it's a good balance. This is a juicy orange as opposed to a powdery one like can sometimes happen.

Day 598 - Clover Fields and Aloe



Clover Fields & Aloe (5): This one is fantastic! It smells like fresh air and slightly like a soap. It's clover, bergamot, and aloe. Definitely one of my favorites from the spa line!

Day 597 - Melon Ball



Melon Ball (4): This has a bunch of different melons. Honeydew Melon isn't a favorite since CBV's isn't very sweet but I absolutely love Cantaloupe and Watermelon. This one is stronger on the cantaloupe/watermelon than honeydew so it's great!

Day 596 - Treasure Island



Treasure Island (5): It has a lot of Pina Colada in it but it also has some really yummy mango. Super great for the summer.

Day 595 - Safari Sunset



Safari Sunset (1): The strongest notes in here are magnolia and violet followed by orange and apple. I think you would really have to like magnolia to like this one.

Day 594 - Hawaiian Splash

Sorry I don't have a photo for this one :)


Hawaiian Splash (5): This smells like Hawaiian Punch. It is very sweet and fruity but does smell artificial.

Day 593 - Georgia Peach



Georgia Peach (3): This is a candied peach scent. It smells a lot like peach rings, but it also has the skin of the peach in it but it is still very sweet. Summer Peach Passion is a more authentic peach smell.

Day 592 - Lime Sorbet



Lime Sorbet (4): This is a creamy lime scent. It is very tart, but it has Victoria's really awesome lime scent. Luscious Lime is just a hair better than this one.

Day 591 - Serendipity



Serendipity (4): This is an absolutely amazing scent, but I really wish it threw for longer. It's a perfect blend of coconut and cherry - not medicinal at all. It was strong but it only lasted a couple of hours in the warmer. Maybe with more cure time it would last longer.

Day 590 - Magnolia Blossom



Magnolia Blossom (2): I go back and forth for this floral. It's a very strong, perfumy floral and does smell very true to the flower. It's sort of like honeysuckle for me in that it's very nostalgic but it is a very strong floral.

Day 589 - Badedas



Badedas (3): This is a very refreshing green scent. Similar to a bamboo or verbena scent this one has that very sharp green note that can be hit or miss for me. This one is pretty good because it has some other notes that tone it down some. I believe this is a dupe for a European body wash of some kind.

Day 588 - Leather



Leather (1): This was too spicy for me. This would be much better mixed with something else. It smells like new leather or even like a pleather scent.

Day 587 - Tropic Wind



Tropic Wind (4): This is a very fruity scent with melon, peach, apple, orange, and coconut. It has a bit of clean notes in it due to the crispness of the apple and the orange. I don't get much coconut from it.

Day 586 - Island Serenade



Island Serenade (2): This is a fruity floral, but the floral note is rose which is super strong in here. I'm not really a fan of this one because of the rose. It also has apple, citrus, and papaya but the rose really over powers those.

Day 585 - Dreamsickle



Dreamsickle (3): This is a very creamy orange scent. I like Orange Vanilla better than this one because this is more of a baked vanilla.

Day 584 - Kiwi Tangerine



Kiwi Tangerine (5): I absolutely love this one! Kiwi is super good and this tangerine is different from her normal tangerines because it doesn't smell powdery. It's a very good citrus mixed with the kiwi. I think Kiwi Raspberry is just a hair better than this one but this is still very good!

Day 583 - Bahama Breeze



Bahama Breeze (4): I believe this is a Yankee dupe and it smells very similar to the yankee fragrance. It's a fruity floral, but it's stronger on the mango and lime as opposed to the jasmine and tiare. It's a really nice blend of the fruity and floral but I wouldn't say it screams tropical to me.

Day 582 - Energizing



Energizing (2): This is a blend of peppermint and lemongrass. This is very herbal from the lemongrass and the peppermint is super strong. I'm not really a fan of the combo but it is extremely strong and definitely would do a good job of waking you up!

Day 581 - Enchantment



Enchantment (4): This is a mix of lilac, sweet pea, and magnolia. The magnolia is strongest on cold throw but warmed up it is a gorgeous sweet floral with a really good balance of all three notes. I almost never hear this one talked about but it is definitely a great one to try!

Day 580 - Pineapple Splash



Pineapple Splash (4): This is a mix of ocean mist, honeydew melon, and pineapple. It almost smells like pineapple bubblegum. The pineapple is the strongest note in it but the other two add a very nice sweetness.

Day 579 - Sea Salt & Rice Flowers



Sea Salt & Rice Flowers (2): This reminds me a lot of Sea Salt & Lotus Blossoms. This one is a bit more powdery than that one. This is a very fresh scent with a touch of floral. The sea salt note is very oceany and smells true to a salty sea air type of scent.
