Today's Melt: CBV Sweet Snow

This one is very strong, smells just like a candy cane.  There isn't much else to say about it.  (4/5)

Today's Melt: CBV Banana Coconut Cream Pie

Hey!  Today, I am melting Banana Coconut Cream Pie from Candles by Victoria today. It is an amazing scent!  It is a perfect combination of the four scents.  The first thing you get is the candy banana, but the cream, coconut and pie crust blend with it and tone it down slightly.  I think It would be awesome mixed with Granny's Pie Crust!  (4/5)

Today's Melt: CBV Christmas Apple Cider Snap

This one is exactly like it is cold when it is warm, apple with red hot cinnamon.  The apple isn't quite a cidery apple, just a normal apple.  I need to let the rest of it cure, the 1/2 I put in (it crumbed when I was cutting it and I gave up and just put the half in) has about as much throw as the regular 1/4 I put in.  (5/5)

Today's Melt: CBV I'll Have What She's Having

Today, I am melting "I'll Have What She's Having" from Candles by Victoria.  You can not order this scent directly from her, you have to create it yourself in a Love, Victoria jar, 22 ounce tureen or 16 ounce Country Jar.  It is a mix of Bear Claws and Chocolate Chip Cookies, created by Jason H. from the message board and Facebook page.  I think that it smells mostly like Bear Claws with the butter and chocolate from the Chocolate Chip Cookies.  This smells awesome, I need to get it in a candle form in my next order. (5/5)

Post-Curing Review: CBV Winter 2012 Order

Just a heads up, I will not be categorizing the scents by who they are for, if you want to figure that out, check out the previous review on these scents.  Let's just get into the review!

Home For the Holidays- This is a create a scent that I made out of Christmas Cabin and Creme Brulee.  The first thing I smell is the cranberry, then some of the orange zest.  I also get a very creamy vanilla-type scent from the Creme Brulee.  This may not be finished curing through the whole thing since it is a 16 ounce candle.  This is a delicious scent, perfect for this time of year.  I highly recommend that you buy it.  (5/5)

Geisha- This is a dupe for a certain bath company that we aren't allowed to talk about.  This is good, very sweet floral cherry blossom scent.  Last time, I said I got a powdery note from it, that note is gone now.  It just smells like a sweet floral.  (3.5/5)

Coconut Praline- You probably know how much I hate this scent, but it isn't for me.  It smells like kettle corn mixed with popcorn from a movie theater where you put on the extra butter and it always becomes too much.  Blech.  (1/5)

Granny's Pie Crust- This one is awesome!  It smells just like honey graham crackers.  I don't love it nearlt as much as Sabrina (thelazylillypad) does, but it is really nice.  (4/5)

Carrot Cake- This is just a very sweet cake with some cream cheese frosting.  I don't get any spice from it at all, so if you like real carrot cake, but don't like spice this would be good for you. (3.5/5)

Cold December's Night- This is a good balance, I get about 65% Sweet Snow and 35% Sugared Spruce.    That is understandable since Sweet Snow smells much stronger than Sugared Spruce, at least on cold throw.  (4/5)

Golden Cadillac- I still get that Vanilla Bean Noel note, but the maple is definitely coming out more.  I can tell that this still needs more time to cure.  (3.5/5)

Caramel Apple- I get a lot of caramel and a hint of apple.  I wish I got slightly more apple, but that will probably come out more when I melt it.  It smells like Cider Lane from BBW with a bit less apple. (4/5)

Rae's Hot Cocoa & Marshmallows- This smells like the Fudge Brownie scent with something slightly creamy mellowing it out a tiny bit.  I wouldn't say that the creamy note is marshamllowy, more like just a generic vanilla.  (3.5/5)

Christmas Apple Cider Snap- This is really good.  It is 50% apple and 50% cinnamon red hots.  I wouldn't say that the apple is really an apple cider, just a generic apple slightly mellowed out by the red hot cinnamon.  If you don't like cinnamon, this wouldn't be for you.  (4/5)

Hello Dolly- This is a 50/50 blend of chocolate and butterscotch with a slight creamy note from the coconut cream pie.  (5/5)

Snow Drift Berries- I get this berry scent, maybe raspberry and strawberry with a slight cooling sensation from the pine.  The berry is kind of similar to Captain Crunch Berries. (5/5)

Tommy Type- This just smells like vanilla musk and the "this is a perfume" scent.  (3/5)

Simply Delicious- This one is just a slightly nutty pear with some rich caramel.  Not the same caramel that is in Caramelized Pralines, but a rich caramel.  The caramel in this one is slightly sweeter than the one in CP, which is very buttery.  (5/5)

French Crumb Cake- This is what I wanted out of Country Coffee Cake.  It just smells like a crumbly cinnamon cake with a tiny hint of coffee.  If you have ever had the coffee cake muffins from Dunkin' Donuts, it smells like this.  (5/5)

Captain Crunch Berries- This smells exactly like the berries from the cereal, more so when warm than on cold.  (5/5)

Vanilla Bean Noel- This smells just like the Bath and Body Works scent.  (4/5)

Stress Relief- 50/50 blend of peppermint and lavender.  I don't get any of the chai tea.  (5/5)

Vanilla Sandalwood- This smells mostly like sandalwood, the only wood I like, but it is slightly mellowed out by the vanilla.  Very nice and relaxing.  (4.5/5)

Sugared Spruce- It smells like a slightly sweetened evergreen scent, but not a pine scent.  (3/5)

Banana Coconut Cream Pie- The first thing I get is that candy banana, slightly mellowed out by the coconut.  I don't get a pie crust scent at all though.  (3.5/5)

Banana Brown Sugar Drizzle- The banana is very prominent, but it has so much brown sugar and creamy creme brulee, that I enjoy it much more than BCCP.  (5/5)

Warm Christmas Splendor- I don't get any of the cinnamon, I just get a slighly toned down version of Sweet Snow.  (3/5)

Kim's Country Cornbread- This is a very buttery, very crumbly bread scent.  I love this one and I will probably melt it today.  (5/5)

Bergamot and Herbal Mint- I get an herbal minty scent with a bit of almost orange from the bergamot.  (3.5/5)

Chai Tea- This definitely got stronger from last time I smelled it.  I get mostly the black tea.  I get very little spice or honey.  (3.5/5)

Sweet Snow- Smells just like a candy cane, very strong too.  (4/5)

Buttery Gingerbread- I don't get much butter, just a very good gingerbread.  If you like gingerbread cookies, you will like this.  (4/5)

Bear Claws- This just smells like a very caramelly dough with a hint of very sugared out cinnamon.  (5/5)

Cinnamon Apple Berry- I don't get any cinnamon, just apples and berries.  (4/5)

Eucalyptus Spearmint- Wrigley's Spearmint Gum.  Definitely my least favorite of all of the ones I ordered. (2/5)

Creme Brulee- Smells just like the dessert, but with more vanilla.  (3.5/5)

Holiday Wassail- I just get pineapple and pine.  A weird combination, but not bad. (3/5)

Chocolate Mint- Smells like an Andes mint or the Yankee Candle Peppermint Bark. (4/5)

Peppermint Bark- This smells just like real peppermint bark.  It is delicious! (5/5)

Cranberry Brulee- I get both notes equally, very nice.  (3/5)

Spellbound- This smells like Cider Lane from Slatkin & Co, but with an undertone of cotton candy.  I love this one.  (5/5)

Christmas Cabin- I smell cranberry and a bit of orange zest with some other berries that I can't quite place.  (3.5/5)

Under the Harvest Moon- This smells weird.  It is kind of a spicy wood with some apple.  Not a big fan/  (2.5/5)

Bonfire Bliss- I get the autumn leaves, the wood (mostly sandalwood) and some sort of creamy, toasted vanilla bean scent.  I really like this.  (4/5)

Blackberry Walnut- This smells like the BBW Fresh Picked Blackerries, with some nuttiness underneath it.  I really do like this one.  (4/5)

Christmas Lane- I don't get the apple, just smells like BH&G's Snowy Evergreen Forest.  (3/5)

Christmas Eve- There is mostly clove, maybe some cinnamon or nutmeg and some creamy eggnog.  I will probably melt this one on Christmas Eve, just because of the name.  (4/5)

Singapore Sling- The cherry almond not went away and now I just smell fruit loops.  I am the weird person who always smells fruit loops instead of lemon bakery.  I do like it, but I wanted more than just generic fruit loops from it.  (3/5)

Pumpkin Pear Strudel- Mostly pear, then sweetened, unspiced pumpkin and some pie crust. (5/5)

Breakfast in Vermont- I smell chocolate and bread.  It is nice, but not great.  (3/5)

Sonny & Cher- This has the same mint as Bergamot and Herbal Mint, but with a stroger cooling sensation as you breathe it in. (3/5)

Cinnamon Donuts- This smells exactly like its name, one of my all-time favorite scents.  (5/5)

Amish Quilt- This one is just okay, it smells like straight nutmeg with a hint of cinnamon to me.  (3/5)

Butter Pound Cake- Smells just like its name, would be a great mixture.  (4.5/5)

Orange Juice Cake- This was my first favorite scent from CBV, smells like fresh squeezed orange juice with a hint of cake.  (4.5/5)

Leaves Type- Smells just like the BBW candle, but with a bit more apple.  (5/5)

Apple Cinnamon Butter- This smells like a very creamy spiced apple.  It is nice.  (3/5)

Raisin Rum- I like this one.  It just smells like a box of raisins.  (3/5)

Today's Melt and My 100th Post!

I thought that this would be a good transition to Winter scent.  It is mostly the pumpkin spice (cinnamon and pumpkin) scent with a little bit of creaminess and lemon.  This is actually what I wanted her Spiced Pumpkin Chutney to smell like.  It is a medium to strong throw, and it smells really good.  (3.5/5)

BONUS: As this is my 100th post, I will be doing nothing special except thank you for your support.  I would like to thank you all for everything.  You are so great to me and in return, I will not be doing a giveaway.  Sorry!  Keep reading.

Today's Melt: Pumpkin Pear Strudel

Today, I am melting Pumpkin Pear Strudel from CBV today!  I really like this one, it is a perfect blend of pear, pumpkin and pie crust.  The first thing you get is the pear, then the pumpkin and then the pie crust.  This is one of my favorite scents from CBV.  (5/5)

Today's Melt: Pumpkin Pralines (and Tumblr information

Before I get to today's melt, I would like to inform you that I now have a Tumblr, two in fact.  I have one that is essentially the same as this (with bonus content on both blogs) and one about anything (weird things that happen in my life, funny stories, comedy, funny photos, etc.) that I feel like writing about.  I will link them both right here so that you can follow them.

http://thelushietimes.tumblr.com/
http://hilariousmoi.tumblr.com/

Onto the review.  Pumpkin Pralines is about 70% caramelized pralines and 30% pumpkin.  There isn't anything else to it.  So, if you like Caramelized Pralines or pumpkin scents, you would like this.  (4/5)

Haul Time: Candles by Victoria Winter Order

Hi!  My winter order from Candles by Victoria came a day early, so I will just share the goodness with you now!  Just a warning, this will be long.  Definitely the longest post I will have done thus far.  I would just like to send a thank you to Victoria, Matt, Melissa and Chelsea for continuing to bring us wonderful products.  Now, just sit back, relax and enjoy the scent descriptions.  I will start with the stuff I got for people's holidsy gifts, then what I got and then the scent shots that my mom ordered.

                                                 Holiday Gifts For Other People
Home For The Holidays- This is not a scent in the permanent line, I created it myself.  It is made from Christmas Cabin and Creme Brulee.  I smell mostly the mulberry from the Christmas Cabin scent, some other fruits, creaminess from the creme brulee and a tiny hint of spice.  I definitely recommend this CAS.  Just to clarify, you can order CAS in 16oz jars, 22oz tureens and Love Victoria jars.  I got this in the 16oz jar.  I will definitely be making this myself since I got both scents in this.  (5/5)

Geisha- I got this in the Scoop Some Scent with purple dots.  It looks so cute!  It looks like cotton candy on the top and on the side it looks like a blue brain.  It smells exactly like what it is duping, even my mom said so.  It smells like a very sweet cherry blossom scent with a slight hint of powder, but not a strong baby powder scent.  It smells just like what it is duping, so if you like that product, you will like this.  (4/5)

Coconut Praline- This is in a Scoop Some Scent as well, but I will not open this one, I don't like the scent and it is strong enough for me to not open it to smell it.  It smells like a big bowl of a mix of kettle corn and popcorn.  I hate popcorn scents, so it is natural for me to not like this.  I don't smell coconut or Caramelized Pralines in this, two scents that I like coming together to make one that I don't like.  (1/5)


                                                                  My Scent Shots
Tommy Type- This is a very nice, calming scent.  I actually like this, which is surprising considering my normal vein of scents.  I smell the perfumey "this is a perfume" scent with some undertones of vanilla musk.  A surprisingly good scent.  This was my free scent shot.  (4/5)

Spellbound-  A lot of people said that this smells similar to BBW Cider Lane, which I really like.  I had to try CBV's version.  It smells very close.  It smells like Cider Lane with an undertone of cotton candy.  This is a really good scent, I would definitely recommend it.  (5/5)

Kim's Country Cornbread- The first thing I pick up is butter, this is a very buttery bread scent, so if you don't like butter then you won't like this.  You also get the crumbly cornbread scent, it is divine!  (5/5)

Blackberry Walnut- I actually didn't order this, I ordered Berry Blackberry Cobbler which was out of stock, so she replaced it with this.  It smells like the Bath and Body Works Fresh Picked Blackberry with a tiny hint of bakery, I hope that come out more after curing.  (4/5)

Peppermint Bark- I am going to hop on the bandwagon and say that this does smell like an Andes mint.  The only thing that isn't perfect is that the chocolate is slightly less real than her Fudge Brownie candle.  Otherwise, it is flawless and smells just like real peppermint bark.  (5/5)

Golden Cadillac- This is one of the Black Label scent shots, so they are slightly more expensive than the other scent shots.  This smells like vanilla right now.  I don't get anything else, just plain vanilla.  It is nice, but I would expect more from a high end fragrance oil.  (3/5)

Banana Coconut Cream Pie- This smells like candied bananas and a little bit of coconut, I don't smell any of the pie.  I am not a fan of the banana in this scent.  I ordered another banana one so I hope that one smells better.  So many people rave about this, and I just can't say that I agree.  (2.5/5)

Vanilla Sandalwood- I get equal parts of the vanilla and the sandalwood, not much else that I can say about it.  It smells really nice and relaxing.  (3.5/5)

Warm Christmas Splendor- This smells like candy canes with a little undertone of cinnamon.  I really like this scent.  There might be a bit of nutmeg too, but mostly candy canes.  (4/5)

Captain Crunch Berries- I have described this many times before, and will not explain it in detail.  If you want my description, go to my "Today's Melt" post on this scent.  (5/5)

Chai Tea- This is mostly the tea scent, it is definitely not a white or green tea, possibly a black tea.  After the whiff of tea, you get a slight note of cinnamon.  It is sweetened a bit by honey.  If I was going to drink a chai tea, I would want it to taste like this.  (4/5)

Christmas Apple Cider Snap- This smells mostly like apple cider (fresh apple cider, not supermarket apple cider) and a red hot cinnamon.  I can see how the cinnamon would overwhelm people, but I really like it.  It is definitely a very good winter scent.  (5/5)

Sweet Snow- This smells like a big delicious candy cane!  I think it needs more cure time, it doesn't smell that strong.  I would give it more cure time anyway.  Great winter scent.  (4.5/5)

Sugared Spruce- This smells like evergreen trees, but not pine scented.  I don't like pine, but I like other evergreens and that is what this smells like.  (4/5)

Cold December's Night- I smell almost equal amounts of Sweet Snow and Sugared Spruce, though the mint is a bit stronger than the spruce.  This is the perfect scent for December/Christmas time or just any time you want to clear your head but don't want straight peppermint.  (5/5)

Simply Delicious- I get a really nice bakery, nutty pear.  The nuts and the pear are the most prominent scents, with the caramel coming in in the background.  It would be even better if the caramel came out more.  (4.5/5)

Under the Harvest Moon- I don't find this as rave-worthy as most other people have.  If you remember, I ordered this in my fall order, but it didn't come.  It smells mostly like what I am guessing is Why I Autumn on the top and only like Leaves Type on the bottom.  I hope that as they cure, the scents blend together more.

Banana Brown Sugar Drizzle- This is what I wanted in a banana scent.  It is really nice, it smells like the candy banana, just not as fake as Banana Coconut Cream Pie, with some sweet brown sugar.  Delicious, though not making it to my five star rating.  (4/5)

Granny's Pie Crust- This smells just like honey graham crackers.  I don't get anything else from it.  I really like it, but it isn't a 5 star one.  I can see this mixing well with fruity scents to make some sort of a pie scent.  (4/5)

Hello Dolly- This is a wonderfully decadent bakery scent.  The first thing I get is chocolate with a bit of butterscotch.  If the butterscotch came out more, this would be a 5 star scent.  (4/5)

French Crumb Cake- This is exactly what I wanted Country Coffee Cake to smell like.  It smells like a crumbly cinnamon cake with only a tiny hint of sweet coffee.  It smells just like a Dunkin Donuts coffee cake muffin.  It is amazing!  (4.5/5)

Chocolate Mint- This smells just like the Yankee Candle Peppermint Bark scent from this year's festive line.  Milk chocolate and peppermint in a perfect ratio.  The CBV Peppermint Bark smells more like real peppemint bark than the Yankee/CBV Chocolate Mint scent.  (4.5/5)

Holiday Wassail- I smell sugared out pineapple and evergreen trees.  It is nice, but based on this I would not repurchase it.  (2.5/5)

Cranberry Brulee- I smell a really strong, sweet cranberry.  I don't get much creaminess right now.  (2.5/5)

Caramel Apple- This one smells like mostly caramel and a bit of green apple.  I usually hate green apple, but the caramel sweetens it out enough that I like it.  I wish I had this for the fall.  It is very similar to Spellbound, but I prefer Spellbound because of the cotton candy note. (4.5/5)

Creme Brulee- This one smells like Granny's Pie Crust mixed with a creamy vanilla scent.  It doesn't smell exactly like real creme brulee, but it smells nice.  I hope it changes when it cures.  (3.5/5)

Cinnamon Apple Berry- I get mostly a sweet raspberry with a bit of cinnamon and a bit of juicy apple.  It smells really nice.  (4/5)

Bear Claws- I get a really sweet doughy note with a bit of sugared out cinnamon and a hint of nuttiness.  I really like this, if you like Caramelized Pralines, you will like this.  (5/5)

Vanilla Bean Noel- This is a Bath and Body Works dupe.  I have the BBW one and this is exactly the same.  If you like the BBW scent, you will love this one.  (5/5)

Rae's Hot Coco and Marshmallows- This smells like hot cocoa.  It is a really nice chocolately scent.  I don't get any marshmallow, but it is really nice.  If you like Fudge Brownie, you will like this.  (4/5)

Stress Relief- A nice herbal lavender scent with a lot of mint.  It is the perfect blend of lavender and mint, almost 50 50.  I also get a slight undertone of Chai Tea.  I am in the process of moving, and it is stressful, so I got some nice stress relieving scents.  (5/5)

Eucalyptus Spearmint- I know what you're asking me.  "Hey!  Does this smell like the Bath and Body Works one?"  The answer to your question is no.  This one has much more spearmint than the BBW one.  The BBW one is 50/50 and this is 70% spearmint, and I am not a huge fan of spearmint.  It smells like spearmint gum with a bit of eucalyptus.  I will burn this, but unless it smells like the BBW one warm, I probably won't repurchase it because I don't like spearmint.  (2/5)

Carrot Cake- This is actually very creamy and sweet cake as opposed to a spicy carrot cake scent.  I really like this one, it isn't the typical overly spicy and overly nutty carrot cake.  (4/5)

Bonfire Bliss- This smells like sandalwood, leaves (not BBW) and sweet marshmallow.  Sandalwood is the only wood that I like, so this is a great scent, just not a favorite yet.  (3.5/5)

Snow Drift Berries- This smells like fresh assorted berries (very sweet) and mint.  The pine is probably what is smelling like mint to me, since it is a sinus clearing scent.  I really like this, thanks Brooke (sayanythingbr00ke) for the recommendation. (5/5)

Bergamot and Herbal Mint- I already reviewed this one in the order I made for my Grandmother's birthday, but I will describe it again.  Cooling peppermint and a bit of uplifting bergamot.  Very calming and I could imagine it being another good stress relieving scent.  It is nice, but I prefer the Stress Relief one.  (3.5/5)

Christmas Cabin- It smells just like mulberry with cranberry and a hint of cinnamon.  (4.5/5)

Christmas Lane- This smells like Sugared Spruce mixed with some apple pie.  (4/5)

Buttery Gingerbread- There's nothing I can say about this.  It smells just like its name.  By far my favorite Gingerbread scent because it isn't too gingery and it achieves that perfection without it being mixed with icing.  (4.5/5)

Christmas Eve- I just smell very spicy cinnamon right now.  No creaminess like it says in the description.  (3/5)


                                                        My Mother's Scent Shots
Sonny & Cher- Peppermint.  (3/5)

Leaves Type- I have already reviewed this one.  It is in my Fall CBV order review.  It smells just like the BBW Leaves but with more apple.  (4/5)

Raisin Rum- It just smells like a cinnamon raisin bread right now, no rum.  (3.5/5)

Singapore Sling- It is just another Fruit Loops scent to me.  I hate that any lemon bakery scent I smell, I just get Fruit Loops, that's what happened to me with Lemon Pound Cake too.  It is a Black Label scent. (4/5)

Butter Pound Cake- It smells just like pound cake with no lemon or anything.  It is good and buttery rich. (4/5)

Breakfast in Vermont- This smells like chocolate and yeasty bread, mostly chocolate.  (3.5/5)

Orange Juice Cake- Mostly orange, not much cake.  (4/5)

Cinnamon Donuts- Smells just like its name.  One of my ultimate favorites.  (5/5)

Apple Cinnamon Butter- A spicy apple toned down by a buttery scent.  A really good homey scent.  (4/5)

Amish Quilt- Nutmeg and cinnamon, nothing else.  (3/5)

Pumpkin Pear Strudel- A perfect balance of pumpkin, pear and pie crust.  One of my favorites.  (5/5)

Today's Melt: Candles By Victoria Pink Noel

Today, I am melting on the opposite end of bakery from yesterday's Caramelized Pralines.  I am melting Pink Noel which is a combination of Pink Cupcake (a true vanilla cupcake scent) and Vanilla Bean Noel (Bath & Body Works Type) and it smells really good.  I usually tend to go to a richer, spicier or medium sweetness bakery type scent, but this one is really sweet and sugary.  It smells like a sweet desert table with an ice cream sundae bar next to it.  You get the cupcakes from Pink Cupcake and the parts of Vanilla Bean Noel that smell like a sugar cookie (at least to me) and this really sweet caramel.  It isn't the same caramel as Caramelized Pralines, which is a really rich, buttery caramel.  This caramel is like sweetened Smucker's caramel syrup that you put on ice cream or the solid caramel candies.  It has a nice scent throw, definitely not as strong as the Caramelized Pralines, which scented 2/3 floors of my house (but would have scented all if it was in the kitchen, not my upstairs bedroom) with 1/4 scent shot.  The 1/4 scent shot scents my whole bedroom and most of the upstairs floor by my bedroom.  The least you can really expect from Candles By Victoria.  This scent doesn't get enough love, but it is definitely one of my favorites.  If you haven't tried Pink Noel, just go put it in your next order.  I would only recommend it if you like cookie/cake type scents and sweet things.  If you don't like sweet scents, this isn't for you.  (5/5)

Have a nice day!

Today's Melt: Candles by Victoria Caramelized Pralines

Today, I am kind of in a weird mood with scents.  If you recall, I wasn't a huge fan of Caramelized Pralines when I first received it, but today when I was picking out what to melt, I smelled that and started to crave it. I knew what I was going to melt.  The first thing that I have to say is that Caramelized Pralines is extremely strong.  With slightly less than 1/4 of a scent shot, I can smell it downstairs from where I am melting it.  I am in love right now.  The nutty scent is toned down more when warm because of the rich, buttery caramel scent.  I really love this scent and I now see what all of the hype is about.  You need to try this if you haven't already.  I might have to start ordering some of her scents that are kind of similar to this.  This would be good all year round, but especially in the fall/winter because it is so comforting and warm smelling.  I would definitely repurchase this again.  Every time I inhale, I fall in love.  Thank you SayAnythingBr00ke for the recommendation.  (5/5)

Today's Melt: Yankee Pomegranate Cider

This scent is kind of strange.  It smells like a mix of L*SH Rock Star and Snow Fairy.  It's okay and I have one more of it, but I probably won't buy any more.  It is better cold than warm.  It is pretty light even in my small bedroom.  (3/5)

Today's Melt: CBV Spiced Pumpkin Chutney

Today, I am melting Spiced Pumpkin Chutney from Candles By Victoria.  It smells like a perfectly balanced pumpkin spice with a little bit of sweetness.  It reminds me of the Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin scent, but with less of a sweetened brown sugar element.  If you like Yankee Spiced Pumpkin or think that that one is too sweet, you would really like Spiced Pumpkin Chutney.  It is a good medium scent throw and lasts as long as any of Victoria's scent shots.  (4/5)
