Candles by Victoria - 3rd Order Scent Shot Impressions


This was my 2nd half of my Third Order (All my Scent Shots).  I loved almost all of the scents; I did so good choosing scents this go round.  Of course they were all recommendations from all the lovely people on the CBV Message Boards! Thanks! =)  I had a hard time doing a rating system because I wanted to give almost everything a minimum of four stars because they were so amazing!!  Even though I probably would have given more 5 stars....I like to designate those for my absolute top favorites!!  These first impressions are strictly on cold sniff only. 

 
The scents are listed under the categories they are found at on the CBV Browser (Which is amazing I might add -- A fantastic way to keep all the scents you want to try organized):

FRUITY

Birds of Paradise:  Did not receive this one…I ordered it but It wasn’t in my box =(  Victoria promptly took care of it and I have it coming in my next order, yay!!  Fantastic customer service!!

Blueberry Patch:  This one is such a funky color…I thought it would be blue.  It looks like a very pale moss green with a yellow ring around the edge.  I think it smells like straight up blueberry…but I guess the color is throwing me off.  LOL, it’s good.  I like it better than Blueberry Cheesecake, it’s not so intense. 
4 to 4.5 Stars

Blushing Peaches:  FANTASTIC!!  The only other peach scent I have tried was Peaches N Cream, and it was not a favorite, but this one is just sooooo good.  I can smell the Strawberry, Peach, and Vanilla.  It’s awesome.  I would love Melissa to make soap in this! =)
5 Stars

Raspberry Violet:  I was a little worried about this one because I’m not a huge floral fan I didn’t think, but this one is really pretty!!  It’s a perfect combination of Raspberry & Violet.  It’s light, fruity, and a little floral.  It gets a lot of love on the Message Board…I can see why!
4 Stars

Lemon Vanilla:  Exactly like it’s described….straight up Lemon with a splash of vanilla.  I like it better than Lemon Pound Cake.  That’s the only two lemon scents I have tried so far.  I know I definitely want to try more!
3 Stars

Poisoned Apple:  This one got recommended to me a lot because of how much I loved Enchanted Apple.  I guess this is like the evil version of Enchanted Apple LOL.  I can smell the tart green apples with a little kick.  It’s really good…but I prefer Enchanted Apple between the two.
3.5 Stars

Black Cherry:  (Free Scent Shot) – I tend to stay away from Grape/Cherry scented or flavored anything.  That includes drinks or candy too because it always reminds me of medicines.  This one is actually not bad.  It reminds me of just a cherry candy.  If you like Cherry Scents I’d tell you to go for this one!
2 stars

FLORAL

Chantilly Lace:  This one is very floral and musky.  I heard someone describe it as smelling like those little decorative soaps…which maybe it does, I’m not sure what those smell like.  It does kind of smell like soap, or a floral perfume.  It’s nice…but I’m still undecided on this one.  My sister fell in love with this scent and tried to steal it from me! =)
3 stars from me, 4 stars from my sister

Cleopatra's Closet:  I totally could not remember what to expect from this one and I LOVE it.  It smells sweet, pretty, & girly all in one.  The first scent that stood out was a powdery one with a light floral note…but still sweet.  I can also smell a slight musky, vanilla note. 
4 stars

Shamrock Kiss:  This might be my favorite new scent out of this order…it’s sooooo good.  It’s under floral fragrances, but to me it smells a lot more clean and fruity.  I can smell the apples and it is just awesome!
5 stars

Sophie Belle:  This smells sooooooo good.  A lot of people compare it to Bella Swan I think? It smells sweet and floral…like a nice perfume.  Not sure what else to say about this one…
4 to 4.5 stars

TROPICAL

White Nectarine & Pink Coral:  Holy Cow….Why did I wait so long to try this one???  This is amazing.  I want it in a soap, shampoo, perfume, lotion….anything, I don’t care.  I immediately smell peaches and other fruits.  Everyone says this smells like a shampoo and it so does!  Might be my favorite scent EVER!
5 stars

Jimmy Buffet:
  This one is pretty good…smells exactly like pineapple & coconut to me.  The scent description said Pina Colada and I think that’s more what it smells like than coconut.  It’s a different kind of tropical than the other ones I have, so that’s awesome!
3.5 to 4 stars

PERFUME/COLOGNE

Heavenly Type:  Not my favorite perfume one ever, but I still like it.  Smells like citrus and floral all mixed up together.  I think I smell violet?   
3.5 stars

Vanilla Sugar:  This might be my new favorite vanilla scent…or maybe tied with Vanilla Bean Noel.  This one smells the most like plain vanilla that I have tried so far, and that was what I was looking for.  Very pleased with this scent!   I think it will be a light scent thrower. 
4 stars

FRESH/CLEAN

Clean Cotton:  I just cannot decide what Clean/fresh fragrance is my favorite.  Every time I think I have a fav, I smell a new one that I just fall in love with.  It smells similar to clothesline fresh and all those, but I think I like this one the most out of the laundry/detergent smelling ones!  Very good, you should definitely try if you like this scent category!
4.5 stars

Mango Tango: MMMMMMM OMG!  Love this one!  This one probably just shot to the top of my favorites in the Clean/Fresh Scents.  It smells extremely clean, but that’s not the only thing you smell.  I can smell the various fruits, and I can also smell something a tad bit floral and green.  I’ve never tried the Gain fabric softener in this…but I want too now!
5 stars

HOUSE BLENDS

Kimono Silk:  This one is so interesting and hard for me to describe.  It smells a little bit floral to me, but the fruits mix together with it just perfectly!  When I smell the bottom of it, it smells green and fresh.  I really like this one…everyone needs to try it!
4 stars

Tokyo Spring:  Just when I think I find a new favorite in this order, I come across more ones I am in instant love with!  This smells so fresh and good, and hard to describe.  It says it has grapefruit, melons, rose, lotus blossoms, & lily of the valley in it…along with bamboo and white musk.  I don’t know if I smell any of those or all of those.  It’s a beautiful blend.  I think I smell the melon scent the most.  AWESOME!
5 stars

Candles by Victoria - First CANDLE Experience & Order


 
I was so happy to place my 3rd and biggest order from Candles by Victoria.  I loved almost all the scents; I did so good choosing scents this go round.  Of course they were all based on the wonderful recommendations I have received on the Message Boards. 

I ordered mostly Scent Shots, but this time I knew I wanted to try an actual Candle.  Up until this order I have only ordered Scent Shots because I wanted to find some great scents for Candles.  I did not want to risk ordering a Candle in an unknown scent, and end up not liking it so much.  For this order I chose to get Four Mini Candles, two of the 8 Ounce Candles, and one of the 9 Ounce Candles.  They come packaged very nice and secure!!  There is no way they are going to break...so you do not have to worry!! 


Mini Candles:  Pearberry Fun, Best Friends, Bella Swan, & DKNY Delicious
(Note:  I’ve reviewed all of these in my last order review blog post.  The only one that smells a little different from the Scent Shots is DKNY Delicious.  It does not smell like the perfume to me like the Scent Shot did.  I can smell more of the Cucumber and “green” notes in it.  It’s still nice). 

8 Ounce Candles:  Tiffany D & Enchanted Apple
(Note:  I’ve reviewed both of these in my last order review blog post.  Tiffany D is amazing!  This Enchanted Apple is so different from my Scent Shot….It smells like a bakery apple or like cinnamon apples this time.  I’m wondering if I just got a different mixture, or possibly it was a scent mix up)?

9 Ounce:  Sexy in Stilettos
(Note:  This is probably my favorite style of jar and maybe my favorite scent!!  I love how it says “mason” on the back of this jar and they stack up nicely).

Burn Experience:  I was so ready to burn this candle right HAHA!!  =)  I trimmed my wicks to about ¼ of an inch and made sure I burned them at a time where I had enough time to burn them around 4 hours so they could reach their full melt pool.  It came around the 4 hour mark on my Mini Candle and it was no where near the edges.  I blew it out…trimmed the wicks…and lit it right back up.  Still wasn’t burning to the edge.  I decided to use the method of wrapping aluminum foil around the top of the Candle and it worked like a charm.  After that initial burn I had no further problems.  It burned cleanly and smelled nice.  I LOVE CANDLES BY VICTORIA!!!!!  

Candles by Victoria Scent of the Day - Fruit Loops



This was one of the scents I was most excited to get because of the name and what everyone was saying about it on the Candles By Victoria Message Boards.  It is exactly like everyone has described!!  If you want to know what this smells like stick your head in a box of Fruit Loops.  It’s dead on!!  You can smell the sugary sweetness, and each of the different scents of the different colored Fruit Loops.  It makes me very hungry!! LOL

RATING:  4.5 STARS
I will probably get this in a bigger candle at some point because it is such a fun scent!!  Even hours after turning my warmer off I could still smell the scent strongly….so good!! =)

I would really like to get the CBV Comfort Candle in Fruit Loop Explosion (Found on page 17 on the CBV Website under the “Candle” tab).  They are $16.75 for a 16 ounce bowl.  Completely worth it, especially when you look at how long it takes to make these!  The creativity on these candles is out of this world!!

Candles by Victoria Scent of the Day - Blueberry Cheesecake


I have watched many of Lepooke’s videos on YouTube where she just raved about Blueberry Cheesecake, so I knew I had to get this one for sure!  It’s found in the Bakery Category.  It is very strong and smells very sweet and creamy.  I instantly loved this scent and it seemed to change a little bit each time I smelled it.  I was a little worried that the sweetness might be a little bit overpowering when melted….but I was completely wrong!  It was AWESOME, even better melting than on the cold smell.  It smells so tasty!  I really want to try another one of Victoria’s Blueberry scents now!  Side Note:  I really didn't smell any of the buttery rich notes of the graham cracker crust, which is okay with me.  I am not sure how I would like buttery notes just yet. 

RATING:  4.5 STARS
I really want to get this one in a Sweet Treat Candle.  It’s only $14.00 and comes in an awesome 12 ounce tumbler.  This can be found on page 18 of the Candles by Victoria Website under the “Candle” tab.

Candles by Victoria Scent of the Day - DKNY Delicious


MMMM….This one smells so good.  This is described as a fresh and well-balanced dupe of the perfume by the same name.  It has top notes of apple, cucumber, and yuzu.  It is followed by middle notes of magnolia, tuberose, lily of the valley, and fresh cut roses with base notes of sandalwood and white amber.  It’s got a lot going on, but it is very light and beautiful.

I love apple scents, so I knew I would love this scent before I even received it.  It smells like a perfume apple and greenery to me.  I really love it!  My fiancĂ© says I have to get the perfume now LOL.  After loving Enchanted Apple so much and now this one…I want to try all of Candles by Victoria Apple scented ones possible! 

5 STARS!!!
I thought this would have a very light throw when being melted because it seems so light and pretty on a cold smell.  Nope…It scents my room and out into the hall beautifully.  So glad I have a candle coming in this scent!!

Candles by Victoria Scent of the Day - Pink Cupcake


This is described as a true vanilla cupcake scent.  It’s just that…and so much more!!  Everyone describes this as smelling just like a Funfetti Cake and they are exactly right.  It’s so amazing and yummy…makes me want to eat some cake right now!!  Good thing it’s just a wonderful scent because I’m on a diet Ha-ha!  I used a fourth of a Scent Shot and it’s very strong!  There’s not much else to say about this one except that everyone should try this one!


I would give it 4 to 4.5 stars
(Just because I have to be in the mood for a bakery type scent…I’m usually a fruity/perfume lover.  Also, I may like Pink Noel a little more.  Pink Noel is Pink Cupcake combined with Vanilla Bean Noel)

DEFINITE LARGE CANDLE PURCHASE!!  I will probably be getting this one in my next order (Possibly one of those adorable Sweet Treat Candles)

Candles by Victoria Scent of the Day -- Bella Swan


This scent is really really really good!!  It’s a highly popular and talked about scent on the CBV Message Boards and on YouTube reviews.  I do get the grape note people are talking about.  But it’s a good grape.  I usually hate all smells and flavors in grape because it reminds me of medicine.  I also smell the floral, which I usually do not like either.  However, I LOVE this one!  I guess these scents blended together make a perfect combination!  It’s very light and pretty, a great bedroom scent in my opinion (and even better when melted)!

The funny thing is I don’t think it includes any sort of grape scent.  It’s described as sweet and floral with a warm vanilla note.  I don’t particularly smell a Vanilla note, but that’s probably what helps tone down the floral scent to make me enjoy it so much! 

5 STARS!!!  This is supposed to be the way that Edward describes Bella (In the Twilight books I believe).  If that’s the way she smells, I can see why he wants to be around her so much!  LOL
I will be getting this in a large candle at some point down the road =)

Candles by Victoria Scent of the Day -- White Nectarine & Pink Coral

HOLY MOLY.... I love White Nectarine & Pink Coral!!  It's described as a luscious fruitiness of peach, pineapple, and orange....blended with floral notes of honeysuckle, rose, and jasmine.  It's found under the "Tropical Scents" on the CBV Website, but I would consider it more fruity/clean! =).


The first thought that comes to mind is why in the world did I wait so long to try this one??  It is amazing!!  I want it in a soap, shampoo, perfume, lotion, body wash....ANYTHING...I don't care!!  I immediately smell peaches and other fruits.  Everyone says this smells like shampoo and it so does!  Whatever shampoo it is....I want it NOW!! It reminds me of that exact moment when you take a towel off your wet hair and you get that amazing smell of whatever shampoo you happen to be using!  Except this scent continues to linger on and on!!  It's the perfect blend of the fruity and clean, which happens to be my two favorite types of scents.  It's really nice and beautiful!!

I definitely want this in a large candle.  It's probably jumped up into at least my top 3 favorite scents.
5 STAR FOR SURE (I'D GIVE IT 6 IF I COULD LOL)

Candles by Victoria Scent of the Day - Enchanted Apple


This is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!  I got a little over excited with scents today and had to melt two of them!!  Country Apple is probably one of my all time favorite scents from Bath & Body Works and this smells EXACTLY like it.  It’s described as smelling of fresh apple trees with touches of mellow peaches and a green leafy note.  It also has a hint of tropical pineapple and lime. I can smell all of this perfectly!

 
This is currently my #1 scent out of the fifty or so I have tried.  It is amazing.  I walk out of the house/room and come back to this scent and it just makes me happy.  I don’t know what else to say about it…=)  You must try it out if you are a fan of that B&BW Scent or you just like the scent of apple-y perfume!

5 STARS….NO QUESTION
LARGE CANDLE  WORTHY?  YES…LIKE NOW PLEASE =)

Candles by Victoria Scent of the Day - Tiffany D


I was so excited to burn Tiffany D today.  This scent is so highly loved and talked about I knew it was a must have.  This scent was inspired by MakeupByTiffanyD on YouTube (which if you haven’t watched her videos you must do so now…they are fantastic).  The color of the wax is a beautiful blue, which is supposed to be like the famous light blue Tiffany Boxes.  
 
Tiffany D is described as being a beautiful mix of Watermelon, Honeydew Melon, and Cotton Candy with a splash of Vanilla.  It is found under the category of “House Blends” on the Candles by Victoria Webpage.  On a cold smell I can really smell the Melon and Cotton Candy instantly.  I didn’t think I would be a huge fan of a Melon scent…but boy I was wrong!  This blend is so light, beautiful, and girly.  It’s a perfect combination and I need a backup of this NOW before it goes away!!  I think almost anyone would like it regardless of their scent preferences! =)

Tiffany D is a new favorite of mine.  I give it 5 stars

Large Candle Worthy?  HECK YEA!!!  Smells even better when melting!

CBV Bath & Body -- Soaps by Melissa


CBV Bath and Body is a fairly new company who uses many of the most popular scents found on the Candles by Victoria Website. Melissa is the owner of the company, who also happens to be Victoria' daughter.  CBV Bath & Body had a surprise 24 hour sale, so I knew immediately I would have to order!  I am so glad I did.  First of all...Melissa's customer service is out of this world.  She is so sweet and always responds promptly anytime I have tried to contact her.  On my first order, I love this company already and I know I will be ordering again!!


BELLA SWAN 


This scent is one of the main reasons I wanted to place this order.  I have this in a scent shot and I am completely in LOVE with it.  It is a 3 ounce soap and probably my favorite shape out of the bunch.  Its described as being the way Edward describes Bella in the book.  Sweet & floral with a warm vanilla note. This picture does not do this soap justice!! It's a bright neon yellow with a peace sign done in purple.  It's also has glitter all over it.  It's beautiful and smells SOOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!


SEXY IN STILETTOS


Right After ordering this soap I realized how much I loved this one in Scent Shot form so I was extremely glad to have this one coming!!  This soap is 3.5 ounces and just so yummy!  I have a hard time trying to describe this one, but I can just say it smells sooooo pretty!  It's sweet and perfume like to me.  Probably in my top 3 favorite scents!  It's inspired from LanaIndiana on Youtube.  It's a beautiful red and white color with a black stripe going down the center.  On the top it has very pretty glitter & stars.  



PINK CUPCAKE


This one is soooo cute and makes my mouth water every time I smell it.  It smells just like Funfetti cake and vanilla frosting.  It makes me want to take a bite out of it so bad LOL.  My sister jokingly asked me if she could and I said I would let her try it but I don't want the awesomeness to go to waste!! :D  It's got glitter and real sprinkles on the top!!  I'm in love with it.  I also love the hot pink stripe going down the center....it just finishes the bar up perfectly.  Can't wait to use this one!! 


LOVE SHACK


This is one I simply got because I loved the look of it.  I have never tried this scent from Candles by Victoria before, but I know I want to now!  I have both of these individual scents but have never smelled them in this beautiful mixture!  This is a 4 ounce soap in a combination of Love Spell & Pink Sugar.  It's amazing and so awesome looking!  It's in a heart shape and it looks like it is dipped in real chocolate!  The bottom is a beautiful pink color and the top looks like the vanilla frosting.  =)


OTHER INFO

Like I've already said...CBV Bath & Body is amazing...from the soaps themselves to the outstanding customer service.  These soaps are made with wonderful things such as coconut oil, palm oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, & goats milk.  All things that are great for the skin.  I can tell just by touching them that they are very creamy and will be very moisturizing!  The creativity and time put into making these soaps is fantastic.  You can really tell how much time and care Melissa puts into making each one of them!  They are absolutely stunning!  






They also come packaged very nicely in bubble wrap and packing peanuts.  Melissa must have picked up this skill from Candle Man =).  After you undo them they are also inside little plastic wrappings with a ribbon.  These little touches are just added bonuses.  You don't need to worry about them cracking, crumbling, or breaking during shipping.  Give these soaps a try...you will not be disappointed with the appearance or quality!!

Candles by Victoria -- February 2012 Order -- First Impressions Part Two

Here is the second part of my February 1st order.  I have to say I did I wonderful job of picking scents this go around...with the help of all the suggestions from the wonderful people on the Candle's by Victoria Message Boards.  I am literally in LOVE with like 90% of the Scent Shots I received in this order.  I know a lot of these I will be getting in candles at some point.  Until then...I don't know what I am going to do without some of these awesome scents when they run out!! LOL


The scents are listed under the categories they are found at on the CBV Browser (Which is amazing I might add -- A fantastic way to keep all the scents you want to try organized):

FLORAL

Honeysuckle:  Never been a fan of florals….but for some reason I have always liked this scent from other candles I’ve smelled.  CBV blows those out of the water.  If you like Honeysuckle, you will love this one!  Says it’s blended with hints of rose, jasmine, & lilac.  I can also smell those…particularly the lilac and jasmine.  

EARTHY
Black Velvet (FREE SS):  It smells like powder and lavender to me.  I had to look it up to see what was all in it.  I saw it has patchouli in it among other scents I’ve never smelled before.  I’ve never smelled patchouli, but I know a lot of people either hate it or love it.  It smells kind of earthy and clean all it one.  It’s interesting… Not sure about this one yet.  

CANDLEMAN'S CLOSET

Rock that Vanilla:  I cannot say if this is a dupe or not, because I’ve never smelled the other one.  This smells really good though.  It smells like vanilla and earthy scents mixed together.  I think I like Vanilla Bean Noel better though.  I don’t find it to be strong, so think it would be good in a bedroom or bathroom. 

PERFUME/COLOGNE

Viva La Juicy:  Strong and nice.  Smells pretty darn close to my perfume I have, which is so cool!! 

DKNY Delicious:  This one smells of apple and greenery to me.  I really like it.  My fiancĂ© says I have to get the perfume now.  LOL  After loving Enchanted Apple so much and now this one….I want to try all the Apple scented ones possible!  

Lovespell:  This one is okay….I don’t think it is exactly like Lovespell (however it may be when it has time to cure).  I kind of smell like a musky or green note to it?  This is my least favorite out of this category.

Pink Sugar:  It smells fruity and very sweet.  I can definitely smell the cotton candy and lemon in it.  I can’t remember what the perfume smells like….so I’m not sure if it’s exact.  Either way I like it a lot.  

Vanilla Bean Noel:  I like this one a lot!  It does smell like vanilla, but also very creamy and sweet.  I do kind of smell a little bit of caramel.  It seems like it would be a very calming scent; good for the bedroom.  

FRESH/CLEAN
Fresh Laundry:  I think this is by far my favorite clean scent out of the ones I have tried.  Smells like a laundry room or fresh dryer sheets.  I’ve also tried Clothesline Fresh from a previous order and loved that one as well!

Gain Island Fresh:  I love clean smells and this is no exception!  Smells just like the laundry detergent from what I can remember.  Smells like an ocean breeze and very clean.  I can smell the greenery and florals…and I love it!

HOUSE BLENDS

Tiffany-D:  Heck yea!!!  This one is great.  I can smell the melon and cotton candy instantly.  It’s a perfect combo.  I want this in a large candle now!

Sexy In Stilettos:  I haven’t a clue what’s all in this one, but it is AWESOME.  It’s very sweet and perfume like.  I can’t decide if I like this one or Bella Swan better.

Bella Swan:  I do get the grape note people are talking about.  But it’s a good grape.  I usually hate all smells and flavors in grape because it reminds me of medicine.  I also smell the floral, which I usually don’t like.  However, I love this one!  I guess these scents blended together make a perfect combination! 



Like I said...these scents are OUTSTANDING!!  I find myself always getting the box out just to smell them all from time to time.  I'm dying to get so many in large candles...


The favorites out of my entire 2nd order include:  Enchanted Apple, Sexy in Stilettos, Best Friends, Tiffany D, Bella Swan, Fresh Laundry, Pink Cupcake, Pink Noel, Gain Island Fresh, Pearberry Fun, & DKNY Delicious

Runner up to the Favorites:   Viva la Juicy, Pink Sugar, Vanilla Bean Noel, Rock that Vanilla, Honeysuckle, Raspberry Guava, Fruit Loops, & Blueberry Cheesecake

Ones I'm not so sure about just yet (waiting for them to cure longer):  Black Velvet, Lemon Pound Cake, Vanilla after Dark, Rice Crispy Treats, Cinnabon, & Lovespell

Candles by Victoria -- February 2012 Order -- First Impressions Part One

Well, as soon as I heard about the February 1st sale I knew I had to order.  I had been plotting for a long time since my first order.  Since the 1st order I've learned so much about the available scents and had so many wonderful recommendations from girls from the Candles by Victoria Message Boards.  So with a list of about sixty scents I knew I had to try.....I narrowed it down to the following (I categorized them based on the categories they are found in on the CBV Browser):


:
BAKERY/FOOD

Pink Noel:  This is a mixture of Pink cupcake & VBN.  It smells pretty much just like
Pink Cupcake…but a little better I think.  It makes the vanilla note stand out even more.  It’s sooooo yummy!!! 

Pink Cupcake:  Just like everyone says….Funfetti cake.  It’s really awesome. 

Cinnabon:  Cinnamon is one of the only smells I can say that I cannot stand.  However, I really wanted to try this one because of how much others said they loved it.  I do love Cinnabon’s and cinnamon rolls, but I’m not a fan of this one.  It’s very strong.  I can smell a buttery scent to it as well.  I do like it more than any other cinnamon scent I have ever tried. 

Blueberry Cheesecake:  I’ve been dying to try this one after all the hype.  It is very strong and smells very sweet and creamy.  I do like it and it smells very tasty!  I want to try another Blueberry scent now.

Lemon Pound CakeThis one is SOOO strong.  I can’t decide if I like it yet or not.  It’s definitely very lemony and has a cake smell to it.  Maybe it will be better with melting.  I’ve learned so far I’m not the hugest bakery fan.  I’m eager to try a different type of lemon scent now….maybe Lemon Vanilla?

Rice Crispy Treats:  I don’t like this one yet at all…I’m sure it just needs more time since everyone else seems to love it.  It just seems to be that generic scent I’ve smelled in a couple of the others scents.
UPDATE:  It’s been about a week since I first smelled it and I can already tell it is getting better.  I’m starting to smell more of the Vanilla and Marshmallow. 

Vanilla After Dark:  This one came very liquidy and it leaked all over the box.  It’s very sweet….I don’t really like it right now at all.  It doesn’t smell anything like vanilla to me, but smells kind of sour.


FRUITY

Best Friends:  I let my fiancĂ© smell all of my scents and he was in love with like 95% of them.  He hated this one!  Well all I have to say is that he is CRAZY!!  It’s awesome.  It smells like a wonderful blend of every kind of berry in existence.  When I smell the bottom it also smells a little perfume like.

Fruit Loops:  Just like everyone else has said….If you want to know what this smells like stick your head in a box of Fruit Loops.  It’s dead on!!  You can smell the sugary sweetness, and each of the different scents of the different colored Fruit Loops.  I’m hungry…

Enchanted Apple:  A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!  Country Apple is probably one of my all time favorite scents from Bath & Body Works and this smells so much like it.  Don’t know what else to say about that…. =)

Raspberry Guava:  This one lives up to all the hype I’ve read.  It smells like fresh raspberries with something else.  I guess that’s the Guava part.  It’s a must have!

Pearberry Fun:  LOVE!!  It smells a lot like Pearberry from Bath and Body works, which also happens to be another Bath & Body Works favorite.  It’s really really good.
