Hello Dolly is a heavy bakery dessert kind of fragrance. You get the chocolate from the Fudge Brownie, however the butterscotch and coconut cream pie mix together and blend to make one new heavy baked dessert fragrance. The throw is pretty good too. I have these in the gingerbread tarts and they smell good to me, but I love my bakery scents.
Cinnamon Raisin Bread, I melted this awhile ago, but am having a little trouble remembering exactly what it smelt like but I believe it was more bread with a little bit of raisin and some light bakery cinnamon not that Red Hot kind.
Pumpkin Eggnog is my favorite pumpkin scent I've tried so far and I have tried a handful. It is a smooth creamy pumpkin but the amaretto gives it this nice kick that isn't spicey. A lot of Vic's pumpkin scents are really spicy but this one isn't one of them. The amaretto gives it a slightly sharp twist, but isn't as stringent as the spice usually is.
Warm Apple Fritters is great if you like cinnamon apple scents. The apple is Macintosh so it is a fresh crisp apple instead of like a baked apple fragrance but couple with the Cinnamon Donuts makes it a bakery scent, but not too heavy.
Chai Tea I have been giving a lot of love to lately. To me it is just a great comforting scent that is different. You get the brewed tea, with some clove, and a touch of sweetness. I know a lot of others would like it more if it had a bit more cream to it because at is there really isn't any vanilla in it at all. But I like that it isn't an overly sweet fragrance.
Rice Crispy Treats will smell like play- dough for a long time so make sure to let it cure for awhile. Once warmed though it should smell just like the real deal complete with the rice cereal grain, light marshmallow, and a touch of butter.
Sugared Shortbread smells like what it sounds like. It isn't an overly sweet scent and has a teensy bit of crispness in it to make it smell like a shortbread cookie.
and Singapore Sling I am a huge fan of so basically it smells like delicious lemon poppyseed muffins complete with glaze and those little lemon sugar cookies on top. Throw is great too!

Thank you for the help I'm glad that you said Pumpkin Eggnog has an amaretto note. I haven't tasted eggnog but was looking for a rum like scent. I'm trying to avoid nut scents including almond so yes thank you for letting me know about the amaretto. I definitely think every scent you commented on sound like winners .......about to order soon....... Still hoping to find either a butterscotch scent or rum scent...

All this talk of rum is making me think of Jack Sparrow (Why is the rum gone?)
There's Christmas Buttered Rum, which reminded me of the Butter Rum Lifesavers candy. It was sweet and creamy. Also, there is Butter Rum Crunch and Raisin Rum, neither of which I've tried but they might be something you'd like.

I love Hello Dolly and wish I would of ordered more with my last order. As far as rum scents go. I received Butter Rum Crunch (or something like that) as a freebie with my August order. Cold it smells fine, but I haven't melted it yet..

Stardustgirl, Maybe I just need a rum drink :/ Raisin Rum is on my list and I came so close to ordering it this time. If Christmas Buttered Rum smells like those candies than it might just do the trick in satisfying my craving. Heyluv, you've got me really excited for Hello Dolly Now I feel a coffee craving coming on...
