So after a long hiatus I finally have the second part of my round robin review up. :)I hope some of the gifs or crazy descriptions make you laugh. Maybe there is a scent in there to add to your next list or one you have had before. Let me know what you think of some of the scents I reviewed! queentakesjack22.blogspot.com/2014/05/hello-my-old-tart.html

Great review! I myself will boycott you giving up wax for lent next year ! Butter Pound Cake another scent I never knew I wanted to try until reading a review about it. I love cake! I haven't melted my scent shot in White Peach & Silk Blossom yet. Cold it smells soapy to me and I'm afraid it might to be "clean" for the whole house. Maybe it would be a good bathroom scent. I like Morning In Madrid but I don't think it is one of my favorites. It seems like a lot people like Spanish Sunrise and now you've got me thinking I should give try. Magnolia is a scent that I never knew I'd like as much as I do. Peach Magnolia Raspberry definitely surprised me and like you said you really can smell all three of the scents in the name quite equally. Yes this one is strong! At one point I was going to order it in a candle and leave it unlit in the guest bathroom. Breathe of Ireland.....I promise one day I'll reorder it and give it another chance. Gentleman's Coconut Bay Rum, I quite enjoyed this one. Maybe a hunky surfer dude might smell like this. Okay Sea Moss just jumped to the top of my list! Island Spa I love so much I had to order it in cubes! It really is great scent and so perfect for summer! I'm glad you love it too ! I'd love for it the recognition it deserves Pink Sugar & Coconut I almost order in b&b like every other order. I know I am going to be so so sad when I melt my last quarter. I never knew my nose loved coconut scents so much before trying so many from CBV.

Thanks for the very informative review as always Cayla! You got me interested in trying Spanish Sunrise and Island Spa. I absolutely LOVE Breath of Ireland! I'm definitely ordering this in a larger size when sale time comes around. Lisa- I think you should definitely try it out when you can. It's such a fresh but girly scent - thanks for explaining the smells because it's super complicated hahaa.

Lisa, I can see White Peach & Silk Blossom being a great bathroom scent but I also didn't think it was too bad once it was melted and I was more than a little leery at first, but granted I melted it in our living room and our house is pretty open so it might be intense for a smaller or more enclosed room. And you know the funny thing about CBV scents is we smell something on cold throw and give it months to cure but still don't care for it so we either tuck it away and forget about or we swap it. Then somehow someway the scent pops back up again either we find it in the hidden catacombs of our stashes or it pops up in a round robin and we get curious and then we melt it and end up liking it! Lol at least that's how it was with me and Cherry Blossom. Now Cajun Cornbread will forever be a no in my books but hey you win some you lose some. So I think give it some time and Breath of Ireland might take you by surprise. I think we go through scent phases where we like a certain type of fragrances for a while then a new one comes along and we head a different direction. I started out just wanted bakery and fall scents but now I'm so open to most of them I would have never thought to try before. IT is more like Russian Roulette now where there is only that 1 scent I don't like out of so many I try. And I think you would really like Sea Moss. Hanna: You never realize how hard it is to describe a smell than when you are trying to pinpoint a certain mystery ingredient lol. I tend to go a little crazy with my descriptions sometimes, but as long as I get the main scent across or help someone find a new favorite I am happy.

Russian Roulette! I absolutely have more favorites than not and like more types of scents than I ever imagined I would. A couple SS I was just meh for I ended up giving to my mom who loved them. She likes perfume scents a lot more than I do.
