Scent Shot Three Packs: I'll have What She's Having (Jason's CAS) Pumpkin Cupcake Peppermint Bark - already minty, but I'll have to wait for the chocolate Single Scent Shots: Monster Mash Sleepy Hollow Orange Almond Lace Cookie Chocolate Chip Cookies Mississippi Mud Pie Sugary Cinnamon Bread Pudding Glazed Sticky Apples Gone Grape - already Grape! Margaritaville 7th Heaven Grape Soda Fizzy Pop Blue Raspberries Cinnamon Stick Warm Apple Fritters Buttery Gingerbread Christmas by the Fire (already have a candle curing: when new, this wax smells sharper than it does later) Rocky Mountain Christmas Warm Christmas Splendor Charlie Brown Christmas Christmas in Whoville Muffin Melt: Volcano (type) Bubble Bar: Volcano - this is heavy! Bath Bomb: Volcano Slice Some Scent Design 8 in Pink Cupcake (first SSS for me)
I have been here over a year now. My first CBV order was placed on May 21, 2013. You can tell by this order that I learned that ordering Bakery Scented Candles in August for the upcoming Holidays was a mistake. Most of those candles are now in my Winter Curing Box waiting to be enjoyed this year. Something like Cold Winter Night would have been a smarter choice. This year I even ordered a candle of that Scent early. I will be interested to see if the new softer wax in the melts cures faster as I expect it to.

You ordered a lot of scents I like. Pumpkin Cupcake is finally all cured but I haven't melted it yet. It smells sooo good though. And I like that it doesn't have any spice in it. I like spicy pumpkin scents, but sometimes I just want a smooth pumpkin. Sugary Cinnamon Bread Pudding, i will warn you, takes a long time to cure but it is so worth it! And Rocky Mountain Christmas is a personal fave for me. It is like sweet spruce trees outside on a crisp winter morning.
I personally love monster mash but some people don't though I don't know why. It smells like blueberries with flakey pie crust and a hint of granny smith apples. It was the first cbv scent I ever tried so it has a special place in my heart.

I have totally been stalking your favorites lists and others!
This Purely Melts order has lots of things with hints of the fragrances to come. So tell me...HOW LONG did Sugary Cinnamon Bread take to cure? How long did Pumpkin Cupcake take (I have an older scent shot thank goodness)? Six months? I have them in my cart for September in the Jar Full of Cookies and Jar Full of Bundt Cakes. Is that something you would give a thumbs up to? Are these going to be February cure times for me even in the softer wax?
My Summer melting/burning success was centered around two Southern Nights Candles and a Lilly of the Vally Candle. My initial foray into tropical scents was not very interesting, and my Volcano candle needs just a little more cure time. My Smoothies have been a complete disappointment. I'll light another one tonight and give it another chance.

Sugary Cinnamon Bread took around 3 to 4 moths curing time for me personally so it might take longer for you because I know you like them at maximum capacity. Pumpkin Cupcake maybe took 2 months. It wasn't that bad at least not for me.
I find scent shots cure faster and because they are little they are packed with a ton more fragrance oil than candles because they are meant to be blasts of fragrance while a candle is scented to be melted for a long period of time. I don't have much luck with candle forms though I will say my Monster Mash and Witch's Brew votives did great! But I have a Banana Smoothie candle and I don't really get that much of a throw from it either, granted I don't leave it lit for hours. I find with some candles you just have to leave them melting for like 2 to 3 hours before you get a real throw but just like and hour wont give you much scent. That is my humble opinion though. My mom has an 8 ounce Harvest candle that throws really well after an hour of being lit. Maybe you might have better luck with the votives? I have tried 4 scents in the votives and all of them threw pretty well.
I haven't tried the jar full of melts yet, but I do have gingerbread melts and they throw pretty well, but I have them in Hello Dolly so that is a strong bakery scent, but the good things with the melts is they are bigger so they have more scent and you can add or subtract from it before you melt. I'd give it a thumbs up but would caution you to get a scent that you think will have a good throw. I wouldn't order any in like Sugar Plums because that didn't have much of a throw in shot form so I wouldn't think the melts would make it much better.
