So here is the list of everything I want to order with the April sale. I haven't figured out how much it'll be, but probably more than I should spend since I'm not made of money! I have pared it down as much as I can. Any suggestions/recommendations? I am pretty set on the candles I want to get but I am getting way too many scent shots. I know it's long, but if any of you can let me know if some I'm getting are too similar or not good, I would love you forever!

I noticed you have both Elvis and banana fritters on your list! Those two are very similar! Also, I am not a big fan of sugar cane & bamboo. For me, it didn't smell like either lol, it wasn't sweet nor was it grassy, Idk what it was, just not for my nose! ...it seems you are a bakery girl, so it probably won't sit well with you either

Thanks Marissa, that helps! I was able to elimiate a few more! I'm definitely a bakery girl, but I'm trying to branch out a little because I figure bakery scents might not always sound good on hot days.

I noticed you have both Caramel Coffee Cake and Country Coffee Cake on your list. I haven't tried Caramel Coffee Cake, but I heard they both are pretty similar. I have tried Country Coffee Cake though and it smells legit! Smells like the real deal and it is a great bakery scent for mornings. I like to pop it in the warmer while I drink my coffee.
Also despite my love for real Snickerdoodle cookies and my like for cinnamon type scents, I did not care for Snickerdoodle at all. It smelt like red hot cinnamon and raw sugar cookie dough. In fact it brought to mind play dough and hot tamales. But that was just my feelings on it personally. If you are looking to narrow down some scents I would get rid of Snickerdoodle and stick with Sugar Cookie and Cookies For Santa.
Genevieve’s Tea Ring is a VERY strong bakery scent. I'm a bakery lover and I found this one to be a bit too much. It is reaaly strong on the cherry scent with a thick bakery note similar to Zuchhini Bread in it only add lots of maple syrup. Now I did try this one quite some time ago and maybe I just didn't give it enough time to cure (I did wait two and a half weeks though) because I know some people on the CBV browser like it well. I would go back and try it again but I swapped it in the Round Robin. If you like strong cherries, sweet maple, and that strong sweet bread-like bakery scent Victoria has in some of her scents then you might really enjoy that one.

We're *all* making up lists, right? LOL! That April sale is going to be huge. Ones I've tried that seemed too light for me: -Marshmallow Banana Dream Cake -Million Dollar Baby -Rice Crispy Treats I love bakery scents and thought some of the notes in these should've stood out more because most of the banana scents throw well as do the pineapple ones. But not for the ones I tried. Ones I really like: -Blueberry Cornbread -Blueberry Monkey Bread -Café Au Lait -Cinnabon -French Crumb Cake (absolutely edible) -Get Me S’more -Hello Dolly -Lemon Blackberry Pie (REALLY GOOD!!) -Lemon Pound Cake -Pumpkin Chocolate -Pumpkin Pralines (I keep re-buying this - it's awesome) -Scrumptious Scoops -Raspberry Violet -Cherry Fizzy Pop -Watermelon Cupcake Random comments: White Nectarine and Pink Coral was more perfumey than I'd anticipated and it didn't really say "tropical" to me when I was melting it. It's popular though, so you may love it. But if you're wanting beachy tropical, this may not be what you want. I thought Tokyo Spring was perfumey and sharp too, but that's my personal taste and YMMV.

Thanks ladies, you helped me eliminate more!
Queentakesjack- I originally wanted to get both coffee cake scents, and both snickerdoodle scents to compare, but I ended up picking so many other scents that I better not do that right now! lol. Thanks for telling me which ones are better!
Jennsrandomworld- I will definitely post a picture when I get them all in! I originally had Elvis as one of my candles, and hunk, a hunk of burning nuts as a SS, since I have tried Elvis and loved it. But, I figure I have enough peanut butter scents, and I know I love Elvis and Caramelized Pralines, so I figure I'll love "Hunk".
Stardustgirl- I want to see your list too, I love seeing what other people are getting! I am so glad I did a list this time...The last time she had a sale, I wasn't prepared and I kept going back and forth on whether I should order because I had just placed an order. And I finally did and got some candles, and only 4 Scent Shots, and I immediately regretted not getting more!

Almost everything I'm ordering this time is a scent shot. I haven't ordered since late last summer so wheeee! Big Order! **means it's a re-order but otherwise all the single shots are going to be new for me. So far I've tried more than 350 of her scents (eeeek!)
A Hunk A Hunk of Burning Nuts Banana Banana Caramel Cupcake Banana Coconut Cream Pie Banana Cream Pie Banana Fritters Banana Kiwi Banana Pancake Banana Walnut Berry Me Alive Biscotti Black Forest Cake Boston Cream Pie Brandy Alexander Captain Crunch Berries Caramelized Banana Split Caribbean Coconut Chocolate Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie Chocolate Orange Chocolate Raspberry Coco Lime Cooler Coco Lime Verbena **Coco~BeachBaby~Peach Coconut Banana Blast Coconut Mandarin Cookies & Cream Cranberry Banana Flip Express Yourself Flower Bomb **Georgia Summer I'll Have What She's Having **Lemon Blackberry Pie Lemon Cheesecake Strudel Lemon Lime Fizz **Lemon Peach Pound Cake Preserves Life is a Beach Love Potion No. 9 Mango Smoothie **Marshmallow Ambrosia Melsea Mocha Flan Montego Bay More Trix Up My Sleeve Orange Almond Lace Cookie Orange Caramel Biscotti Orange Chiffon Bundt Cake Orange Juice Cake Papaya Waterlily Party In My Cabana Patchouli Peche Patchouli Raspberry Pazazzy **Peach Ambrosia Pink & Lime Plum Streusel Rae's Hot Chocolate & Marshmallows Raspberry Banana Cream Raspberry Banana Gauva Raspberry Peach Cobbler Raspberry Rainbow Raspberry Sherbet Raspberry Zinger Ringmaster Singapore Sling Soft Blanket Strawberry Banana Custard Strawberry Cookies Sweet Nothings Swiss Chocolate Almond Three Ring Circus Tiny Bubbles Under the Big Top Vanilla Sandalwood Vanilla Sugar Watermelon Watermelon and Lime **Watermelon Cupcake Whispering Winds Wildberry Scone Wood Nymph Zucchini Bread
These 2 are to help tame Mom's patchouli habit. I'm hoping the small size keeps it manageable. She loooooves patchouli, but a whole 2oz scent shot of either one literally drives me out of the house - it's too intense. Animal Waxckers - Jacob Black Mini Bundt Cakes - Teakwood & Cardamom
3 packs of scent shots (re-orders of previous favorites) Lemon Lavender Baby Powder Blueberry Patch Sugar Cookies Tiffany D Lovin' Lemon
3oz refresher oil in Tiffany D
One of Melissa's lotions in Bella Swan, and possibly some kind of melt in Bella Swan because it's my Very Favorite CBV scent EVER, but I do have a stash of it so don't *need* any wax but may want to make sure I don't run out (because I'd spazz).

Cafe Au Lait is good but I prefer Cinnamon Gingerbread Latte. Cinnabon just like the cinnabon place in the mall. Bhushing Peaches is amazing.It's in my top 3 scents. Blue Hawaiian is good

Thanks for all your help ladies!
This is what I ended up with:
16 oz. Country Jar Candle, Berry Blackberry Cobbler : 1 : 12.75
Victoria's 8 oz. No Frills Sampler Pack 1st scent, I'll Have What She's Having, 2nd scent, Granny's Apron, 3rd scent, A Hunk, A Hunk of Burning Nuts, 4th scent, Cookies & Cream, 5th scent, Under The Big Top, 6th scent, Breakfast In Vermont : 1 : 43.50
Reeses Peanut Butter Delight : 1 : 9.50
Scent Shots, Apricot Crumb Cake : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Blueberry Cornbread : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Blueberry Monkey Bread : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Biscotti : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Brown Sugar Shortbread : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Butter Pound Cake : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Captain Crunch Berries : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Cherries and Chestnuts : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Cherry Cookies : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Country Fair Funnel Cake : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Country Coffee Cake : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Divine Paradise : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, French Crumb Cake : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Get Me S'more : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Hello Dolly : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Lemon Blackberry Pie : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Mango Macadamia Nut : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Maple Nut Sticky Bun : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Orange Almond Lace Cookie : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Patti Cake : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Pecan Pie : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Peanut Butter Cookies : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Peanut Butter & Jelly : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Sugar Cookies : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Trix Are For Kids : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Bite Me : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Coconut Lemongrass : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Scrumptious Scoops : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Cherry Colada : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Nut House : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, St. Barts : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Bath Time With Pooh : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Blue Hawaiian : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Hawaiian Splash : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Banana Fritters : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Watermelon Cupcake : 1 : 2.00 Scent Shots, Cookies For Santa : 1 : 2.00
So I eliminated some of the SS, and the surprise candle. I definitely want to try a surprise candle someday, but I feel like I haven't tried enough scents, and at this point I just think it would bug me if I couldn't figure out what one was! lol. I also melted cookies and cream and flower bomb this weekend, and while flower bomb is absolutely GORGEOUS, I am definitely more of a bakery girl. So I switched that out of my sampler pack for C&C. That helped me eliminate some other scents from my SS list for this time.

I am with you on the surprise candle. I keep eying it thinking "Oh that would be fun to have!" then I really start to think about it and it would drive me crazy if I smelt a scent I liked but had no idea what it was. Also I'd worry about if there was a scent in there I hated, then I'd have to wait until the sucker melted down and I'd be stuck with that scent in the room until then. I'm mainly fearful of patchouli and heavy flowers since they give me instant headaches. So like you said they are in the "someday" category.
