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!

Day 665 - Cake Bake



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.

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.

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.

Day 660 - Vanilla Velvet



Vanilla Velvet (4): This is one of the best Vanilla scents I've had from CBV! It's a very authentic vanilla and it is super duper strong. If you're looking for that type of vanilla then definitely go for this one!

Day 659 - Unwind



Unwind (2): Surprisingly, I didn't hate this one! It has lavender, rosemary, and geranium. I think the key was melting it in moderation - I only did 1/4 of a scent shot. I mostly got the Rosemary followed by the lavender so it was very much a sinus clearing scent. I don't think I would order it again, but it was ok while I had it in.

Day 658 - Ylang Ylang



Ylang Ylang (2): This isn't really a favorite, but it isn't that bad either. It's sort of a woodsy cologne type of scent. It's one of those where I like part of it but don't like the other part - hence why I probably wouldn't reach for it again. It also wasn't as strong as I thought it would be.

Day 657 - Hawaiian Wedding Cake



Hawaiian Wedding Cake (3): This is a really nice pineapple bakery scent. The only thing about it is the pineapple is more of a fresh pineapple than a baked pineapple. It does have more of the cake note than Pineapple Upside Down Cake does though.

Day 656 - Cheesecake



Cheesecake (3): This is one that is better warmed up than on cold throw. Cold it smelled a lot like Fresh Baked Bread, however warmed up I got more of that creamy vanilla cheesecake scent. I have found that I'm not the biggest fan of cheesecake scents in wax form, but this is definitely one of the better ones that I have had.

Day 655 - Cinnamon Apple Berry



Cinnamon Apple Berry (4): I believe this is supposed to be a Yankee dupe. I'm not sure how close it is though. This is a super sweet scent. It's a Red Hot type of cinnamon so it's very candy-like. The apple and berry are super juicy together so it's a scent that I do enjoy, but it doesn't remind me of Fall or Christmas. It's more of a summer scent because it is so sweet.

Day 654 - Strawberry White Cake


Strawberry White Cake (5): This one is fan-damn-tastic!! It is such a juicy strawberry mixed with a very nice cake note. I really enjoyed this one and my only complaint was that it didn't last longer!

Day 653 - Salty Sea Air


Salty Sea Air (3): This is a very fresh scent. It's also a component of several other scents from CBV. I do get the salty breeze note from it but I wouldn't say it's dead on for being on the beach. It's a little bit too clean smelling for that. If you like strong clean scents then you would really like this one!

Day 652 - Graham Cracker Crust



Graham Cracker Crust (4): This is a really nice bakery scent! It does smell similar to a graham cracker crust but it does have some cinnamon in it. It's also not that strong of a throw but when I do catch whiffs of it I really like it!

Day 651 - Camping with Candleman



Camping with Candleman (4): I enjoyed this one quite a lot! I mostly got a leather scent out of it but it also had some woody notes and a cologne scent (cool water). Very nice especially if you like masculine scents!

Day 650 - Dutch Apple Crunch



Dutch Apple Crunch (3): This is a spicy apple scent. Smells a lot like a craft store apple with a slight bakery note. Not my favorite apple bakery but still very nice for Fall.

Day 649 - Oatmeal Raisin Cookie



Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (4): This is a really good bakery scent. It smells very similar to an actual oatmeal raisin cookie. The raisin is slightly perfumy in it but it is still very nice.

Day 648 - Cantaloupe



Cantaloupe (5): This one is really juicy! Smells really close to an actual cantaloupe but perhaps a little bit sweeter. Of the melons, this is probably my favorite type in wax form and smells the most realistic.

Day 647 - Pazazzy



Pazazzy (4): This is a mix of Pina Colada, Lemon, Lime, and Coconut. I get a lot of the lime and a lot of the pina colada out of it. It's a very nice tropical scent.

Day 646 - Blackberry Caramel Rice Pudding



Blackberry Caramel Rice Pudding (4): I really enjoyed this one. I got a lot more of the rice pudding and caramel than the blackberry, but the blackberry did add a really nice sweetness to it.

Day 645 - Apples & Oranges



Apples & Oranges (4): This is a really yummy blend of a sweet, red apple and juicy orange. Completely different from Apple Jack N Orange Peel. That one has a perfume and spice quality to it that is missing from this.

Day 644 - Citronella



Citronella (1): Holy wow this is a strong scent shot! I used 1/4 and it easily filled up the entire apartment. I really dislike the scent because it smells dead on for mosquito repellent (hence the 1 star rating), but I know that if you're looking for a super strong deterrent for the summer bugs then look no further! I think this would be super cute on your patio in one of the 20 oz barrel jars!

Day 643 - Storm Watch



Storm Watch (3): This is a Yankee dupe. I had it a long time ago and I really did not care for it. Now I do like it much better but it still isn't a favorite. It's a clean scent but I wouldn't say it reminds me of laundry. It's more of a soapy type of scent. It does have a very slight perfume note to it as well that is in some ways slightly sinus clearing.

Day 642 - Chocolate Pudding



Chocolate Pudding (3): This is definitely accurate to the name! It's a very creamy chocolate scent and a good mix of a milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Since it is a pudding scent is does have a little bit of an artificial note, but if you like to eat chocolate pudding then you will be a big fan of this one!

Day 641 - Fluffer Nutter



Fluffer Nutter (4): This one is a very good blend of the marshmallow and peanut butter! Marshmallow Campfire on its own does have a lot of perfuminess but it is really toned down by the Peanut Butter Cookies. Smells even better warmed up!

Day 640 - Coco Lime Cooler


Coco Lime Cooler (4): This is a blend of coconut and lime. I think this would be great in bath and body. The lime smells different than Victoria's regular lime. This one is more subtle. The coconut is very sweet so it's almost like a coconut milk.
