I was very lucky to spot a CBV destash on facebook. These are the new scents that I will be trying. Thankfully, they are already cured so I will be trying them out next week. I will review them individually Almond Pastry Banana Kiwi Bergamont & Mandarin Blueberry Patch Cajun Cornbread Cucumber Cantaloupe (2) Fresh Baked Bread Grapefruit Blackberry Peach Preserves Pink & Lime Sea Salt Carmels Under the Big Top White Nectarine & Pink Coral Zucchini Bread

Pink & Lime and Banana Kiwi are some scents Ive wanted to try for a while now! Banana scents from Victoria are my absolute favorite! I recently decided to finally smelling Pink Sugar perfume and I think the lime will make it a little bit more fresh.

I got Peach Preserves as a freebie with my very first CBV order. Even though I like peach scents. I didn't have this one on my wish list. But I really liked it.

Awesome!! How is Cucumber Cantaloupe? I LOVE Victoria's Cantaloupe scent and am curious how to cucumber mixes with it.

Cucumber and cantaloupe is really good. A really unique fruity scent. I don't think I could pick out either scent indivually, but they are blended together so nicely. I also think this would make a fantastic soap.
White tangerine and pink coral - I also really enjoyed this scent. I don't think I would ever purchase it in candle form, but I will be ordering in a lotion
Under the big top - I really wanted to like this scent, but I don't think I like the carmelaized pralines. It is not terrible, but I don't think I would ever purchase it again. However, I will be trying the CAS with it mixed with barefoot in blue jeans

Grapefruit Blackberries smells like a natural soap I used to use. Surprisingly, it is a bit floral which I really don't understand. It is a really nice scent.

Oh good. LOL I'm not alone in that. I did really enjoy it. I wonder if it is a different blackberry scent than all her other blackberry scents.

I agree with you on Under The Big Top. I'm not a fan of Carmelized Pralines for some reason though it is pretty popular. I just don't care for salty scents I suppose. I wonder how you feel about Cajun Cornbread. A lot of people seem to love it but I smelt it after 2 and a half months curing time and still couldn't even bring myself to burn it and that is the only scent I've ever done that with. It smelt like sickeningly sweet vomit to me so maybe your fully cured one will smell different.

The grapefruit reminds me of the grapefruit in Vanilla Grapefruit. The blackberry does kind of remind me of the other blackberries but I think melting this scent will be best.

I think they are really sickeningly sweet and too rich for me. I would also put maple scents in that category. Although I do like to eat both of them I might have to try Cajun Cornbread tomorrow. I actually don't mind it on cold throw. I like it a lot better than Zucchini Bread.
