The tea is definitely strong in Mint Tea. The peppermint hasn't overpowered it so far, then again it is still curing.

I got Spa La La today and even though the scent description mentions nothing of chamomile, I swear it reminds me of chamomile tea. I think it is going to be a very relaxing scent. I believe it might be the sage blossoms that is smelling like chamomile. Can't wait to melt it.

Is the chai tea scent creamy? I love chai lattes. When I lived in California the best place to get them was coffee bean and tea leaf. I miss that place! And is mint tea sweet? I'd love a sweet tea scent!

I'd love a sweet tea scent! Chai Tea is definitely more of a straight tea (spice-type) scent as opposed to a Chai Tea Latte. I've never tried making it creamier, but I'm sure you could by maybe adding Sweet Milk, or some vanilla-based scent to it.

What brittany said chai tea is more on the tea side however the spices in it aren't sharp or cinnamony.

Now if someone whispered "I want to eat you" to a Jelly Donut scent shot would that be considered "wacky"?

Only if someone else hears it lol I think I have said that myself to Cinnabon and Bear Claws at one point. Let me pose another question. Is it wacky that once you burn a certain food like scent that it makes you crave that particular food so bad that you make a trip to the store just to get it? I did that with both Cinnabon and Fudge Brownie.

I do it all the time! It sucks though when you don't have anything like that at your house to make!
One night I was melting Banana Coconut Cream Pie in the kitchen during dinner. It made everyone crave banana pudding, so my mom had to make us Cook N Serve Vanilla Pudding!

Cold sniff of Cinnamon Buns had me running to the store to buy some. I've never had a coconut cream pie but really want to try one now thanks to the scent shot.
Has anyone caught a scent of something wonderful and immediately think "I want this in wax"?
I was eating a mixed bag of jelly beans and got a tutti frutti flavored one and now I want that scent in wax. I wonder if bubble gum might smell like tutti frutti? Also the W-mart here uses a cleaning product in the restrooms that I actually really love the smell of.
What scents do you want in wax?

I haven't thought about that too often. But, I have looked at some of Victoria's scents and have smelled things to see what the candle would smell like. For example, I have found myself smelling Rice Krispy Treats and Trix cereal because those aren't necessarily things I know the smell of.

I am guilty of that too. I have bought a box of Fruit Loops because I wanted to know what it smelled like in wax. I also bought Juicy Fruit Gum because I have heard from a few places Salty Dog smells like it. I was sitting at a red light totally sniffing a piece of Juicy Fruit only to look over and realize I was being watched .

I am guilty of doing both of those things. I also bought a box of Fruit Loops mainly because I wanted to see what it smelt like. I have also picked up spankee candles in the store to smell them if I think CBV has a dupe of it lol. Then if I like it I go home and order it on CBV.
Some scents I would love if Victoria had in wax form would be B&BW's Peach Balini also Disney has a linen spray called Wonder that is so perfect!! They don't sell it anymore sadly so I have to save my last little bottle. It is Marshmallow Ambrosia (which normally I hate but love in this scent) with lemon sugar and apple blossoms. Come on CBV I NEED this!!! But alas I know it will never be so *cries softly while cradling my last bottle of Wonder* I know if they made this scent in wax it would be a HUGE scent because it is slightly sweet and softly clean smelling.

I wish CBV had Peach Bellini too! Whenever I go to Ulta I also smell the perfumes Victoria has dupes of to see if I like them!

Wonder, sounds wonderful! I can't say I know what marshmallow ambrosia smells like however St. Lucia wasn't for me. The lemon sugar and apple blossom part of that scent has me intrigued. I might now see why you have Lemon Vanilla on your list. Does the apple blossom smell like blossoms or apples? CBV has a Dogwood Blossom scent, I haven't tried it but it is of course on my list. Can you tell I'm secretly urging you to re-create your scent love?
When I need make up and I'm at Ulta I also check out the perfumes. I bought a DKNY Delicious SS because it was one of the few perfumes I liked in the store. Once in a blue moon I'll go to B&BW and scope out their scents to see what type of scents my nose loves. I must look weird because I take notes on my phone.
I am one of those weirdos who might just tell a perfect stranger that they smell amazing. My antisocial husband thinks I'm nuts.

I'm sure I have smelt something and wished I could get it in a scent shot from CBV. The only ones I can think of at the moment is BBW's Country Chic and Pink Sugar Plum, Banana Pudding and Passion of Fruits Fabuloso.
