Feb 28th Order Review
Bora-Bora was my free scent shot. Even though I have ordered this scent in the past I feel like I hit the jackpot because it is a scent I absolutely love. Now I can quit hoarding what I have left of the Bora-Bora scent shot I ordered
This is a cold sniff review and I have not melted any of these lovely scents so please keep this mind. My husband did a “blind sniff test” and I will let you know which scents were his favorite from this order.
Witch’s Brew – This smells like a spiced fruit punch you’d only drink in the fall. I really love the green color of this, perfect color and name. Generally my husband does not like spicy scents but this one ended up in his favorites pile
Water Lily – I have tried and loved Waterlily & Pear and can tell you this IS the water lily in that scent. This is a beautiful sweet floral.
Grape Soda – Oh yes this is good, thank you Cayla! I get grape and soda but you know what it reminds me (without side by side comparing, from memory only) of Life Is A Beach a little bit. Another winner with my husband. Let me admit something……somehow this scent is on my hand and I can’t stop sniffing myself! No joke I think I want to smell like Grape Soda (checking to see if it is on the B&B list……YES!!! Okay carry on.
Berry Me Alive – There is supposed to be orange and banana in this one and my nose isn't picking up on them on cold sniff. What I get is super sweet sugary berries that I don’t know if I want to eat or drink.
Blueberry Cheesecake – OMG yum yum yum…..yep it is safe to say I love blueberry bakery scents. Reminiscent of Blueberry Flapjacks without the kiss of maple and pastry goodness but this is the same type of blueberry. One of my husband’s favorites.
Cucumber Melon – It has been a long time since the last time I smelled BBW scent of the same name but from what I can remember, this is it.
Monkey Juice – I get grapefruit, kiwi and banana in that order. The bottom does smell like a fruity bubble gum type scent but not exactly like the Bubble Gum scent I’ll be talking about soon. I was apprehensive about this scent but my curiosity had to be satisfied. I liked Banana Kiwi however my husband did not so I’m curious how the kiwi in this scent will be once warmed. So far I like this one. Had my husband sniff this one again right now and he said it’s weird.
Bermuda Triangle – There is something oddly familiar about this scent. I don’t know if it smells like a product or something I’ve used in the past or if it reminds me of another CBV scent. Whatever it is, it’s good. The description says there are lots of melons, citrus and a hint of Macintosh apples. I’m trying really hard to single one of those notes out and I can’t. If you like fruity, if you like tropical, and you want something different this might be a good bet.
Dogwood Blossoms – A soft floral with almost a powdery slightly soapy note. I feel like I’m almost picking up on that ozone note you get in Storm Watch.
Winter Snowflake – Sweet peppermint and pine. One of those scents that opens up your sinuses. Call me crazy (I think I am for saying this) but I actually like pine scents. Despite hating the smell of Pinesol now because my job was mopping floors with it as a kid, I actually really like pine/spruce/evergreen scents. Who knew? Not me that’s for sure!
Tangerine Lemongrass – Lemongrass is the strongest note between the two right now but the tangerine does sweeten up the lemongrass. VERY surprised my husband liked this scent because he doesn’t usually care for citrus at all unless it’s a bakery scent.
Bubble Gum – Such a gorgeous pink! I’m going to try to attach of this picture of this scent shot. This is definitely the bubble gum I remember as a child. My husband said this smells like his childhood. He said it smells like the gum that came with baseball cards (TOPS) and Bazooka Joe gum with the comics. All around a fun scent and I am happy I finally ordered it. Probably at the top of my husband’s favorites from this order because of the nostalgia factor.
Cinnamon Coffee – It’s like Country Coffee Cake without the cake! Exactly what the name says. I love it!
Island Kiss – This smells like faint florals travelling on a light breeze. I don’t know what seaberry smells like but there is also a hint of maybe something green that I smell. Intriguing.
Strawberries & Champagne – This is one is supposed to smell like VS’s scent I believe of the same name but I sadly I cannot compare it. It definitely leans towards a perfume type of scent than say actual real strawberries and champagne. It has been a long time since I have had champagne so take this cold sniff review lightly.
Fresh Cut Grass – Does this smell like fresh cut grass? Yes. Does this smell like other fresh cut grass scents you may have smelled? I don’t know. I have smelled a few fresh cut grass scents and don’t think any of them smelled exactly alike. There is a sweet green note that I describe as fresh cut grass mixed with yard clippings from say a bush or something. My husband thinks it has a tomato leaf type smell to it. I can see why he says that. For the record my husband does not like this one.
Root Beer – Yes sir or ma’am this is root beer! Give me some ice cream because I am craving a root beer float now. There goes my mind wanting to compare Root Beer Float now….arrrrrgh. Hubby likes it!
Calypso Island – My teen and I really like this one but my husband did not. Sweet musk and florals. I cannot identify the florals individually and the sweet note is slightly fruity but I would not say “pink grapefruit” as the description states. I can’t wait to warm this one up and see if changes or stays the same.
Banana Caramel Cupcake – One of my top favorites from this whole order! Banana, buttery caramel, cupcakey, sweet heavenly bakery! This smells like I could really eat it…….I want to eat it……must resist eating it….My hubby loves bakery so this was a winner with him too.
Lemon Blackberry Pie – Allison’s recent order of this one enticed me
Lemon Pound Cake comes to mind when I first sniff it but fruitier. The bottom is loaded with yummy oils so I don’t want to disturb them by flipping the scent shot over. I just melted Lemon Meringue Pie today and loved it so I’m excited to try another lemon bakery scent.
Country Berry Hotcakes – Beyond loaded with oils. Okay the lid came off in the box and it got a little on the outside. This one is strong cold. I do get berry and pancakes. It smells really yummy it’s just so strong cold I need to give it some breathing time.
Zucchini Bread – Here is the dish on why it has taken me so long to order this one. I avoid nut scents because of my son’s nut allergies (super playing it safe). There isn't any nut notes listed for this one and people have said they don’t smell any nuts. Let me say this scent is freaking delicious!!! My husband loves it too and my paranoid self keeps asking him if he smells nuts and he says no. Has anyone tried this melted/burned and do you get a nut note? Gosh this one is delicious. It is not super spicy but smells like warm yummy sweet bakery. If only I could make real zucchini bread and not be the only in the house who would eat it
Alright that’s all folks……
