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!
