| All the shots. |
Color: Crayola's Purple Mountain's Majesty
Cold Throw: So this is a customer created scent. It was created by Jandre from the Pouring Pot (check out her blog on my blogs I follow!) and it is a mixture of Apples N Oaks and Raspberry Violet. I've never had Raspberry Violet, but I do have Apples N Oaks and based on that I get a lovely mixture of the both of them. I get the barrel aged apples, but it is accompanied with a sweeter slightly floral scent. I've got a review for Apples N Oaks further down below in this review if you want to see more on what that smells like on its own.
Warm Throw: Smelt just like it did on cold sniff. The two scents blend wonderfully to create an entirely new scent. Not one part of the mixture is stronger than the other. You get the Apples N Oaks and the Raspberry Violet. It's a fresh sweet airy scent that's so hard to put into a catagory because it isn't fruity, floraly, or earthy yet at the same time it is all of those. A truly unique scent that just has to be tried. Plus the throw is pretty good as well.
Banana Coconut Cream Pie:
Color: Crayola's Lazer Lemon
Cold Throw: Smells just like banana coconut cream pie filling. On cold sniff alone I don't smell any pie crust at all, just the fantastic smell of the filling. It reminds me of those Jell-o instant pie filling packets after you've made it. I love this so far, but I will say the throw is a little weak in the container.
Warm Throw: Once again Victoria has managed to make a perfect replica from food to wax. This smells just like the real deal. I still only get the banana coconut pie filling without any hints of a crust smell. Smells Delicious!
Cinnamon Donuts:
Color: Maple Brown
Cold Throw: This smells like sweet baking cinnamon and sugar crystals with a tiny hint of fried dough underneath it all. It does smell like a fried donut topped with cinnamon and sugar. It has a medium scent throw in the container, but it smells delicious just like the real thing.
Warm Throw: So I bought this because I had Warm Apple Fritters last month and Cinnamon Donuts made up half the mixture and I really liked it so I had to try it by itself without the Macintosh Apple. I was not dissapointed either! Smells just like the real deal.
Singapore Sling:
Cold Throw: This one is from the Top Shelf Black Label line which means it can only be bought in scent shot or Black Label candle form. This one smells like a lemon poppyseed muffin. On just the cold throw I don't get much of the bakery kick from the muffin and vanilla cake batter. It just kind of smells like sweet lemon baking crystals that come on certain lemon poppyseed muffins that you can buy at the store.
Warm Throw: This one is one of the more popular Black Label scents. It was reccomended to me by Jason and Emily on the Pouring Pot way back. Once again they both have excellent taste...or smell that is. It smells just like a lemon poppyseed muffin no joke. I smell the sugar crystal toppings, the bakery lemon cake and the poppyseed muffin. This is a heavy bakery scent so if you love the smell of lemon cakes or muffins then this is a must try for you. Smells mouth-wateringly delicious!

Color: Crayola's Purple Mountain's Majesty
Cold Throw: This one is very dificult to describe because I can't categorize it in any certain fragrance category just like Faerie Ring it is a blend of scents. The other problem is the throw on this is very weak. I actually smell the plastic container a bit more than the real scent. But taking it out I smell a very soft and light floral mixed with maybe a sweet fruity undercurrent. It doesn't smell like sugar or plums really, but the scent itself is very nice and lightly sweet.
Warm Throw: The throw was better once it was melted. It smells just like it did on cold throw only a little stronger. It's a blend of sweet light florals and an unknown fruit. It's a very nice and lovely scent all it's own that doesn't remind me of any other scent before it.
Blueberry Cheesecake:
Color: Blueberry Blue
Cold Throw: This is a big time favorite to a lot of other addicts I have talked to and I just got around to trying it. This smells delicious on cold throw. You get that candied blueberry smell blended with a sweet cream cheese filling that rounds the overall scent out. It's sweet, but not sickeningly so and it makes me want to eat the wax. Smells like cheesecake and candied blueberries.
Warm Throw: The cheesecake smell really comes out more into play when its melted. I smell more cream cheese frosting than the blueberries although they are still there. It really does live up to its name. Personally I liked this one better on cold throw, but its still pretty good either way. It has a medium throw to it as well.
Apples N Oaks:
Color: Saddle Brown
Cold Throw: This one smells more like the aged oak barrels than the apples on cold throw. I've never smelt an apple scent quite like this one before. It has a sort of subtle woodsy air about it with undertones of green apples. It isn't as sweet as a lot of other apple scents I've tried. The throw in the shot is kind of weak, but it could be because the scent itself smells like the air in the fall in a apple orchard.
Warm Throw: I got this one because Amanda on The Pouring Pot had burnt it for like a week straight and loved it and as an avid apple fan I couldn't pass up trying a new apple scent. This one was true to the cold throw, but the scent came out a bit more so the throw is a moderate one instead of the weak one in the container. This one is great for fall and for those of you who like apple scents, but aren't a fan of the really sweet or heavy apple fragrances.
Sugared Corn Pudding:
Color: Crayola Lazer Lemon
Cold Throw: This is a very popular scent on the board so I had to try it. Trying to describe it is a bit tricky though. It smells like creamy warm porridge with an undertone of sweet corn. It's a very comfort food type of smell. It's very rich, creamy, and yummy smelling. It almost smells like something I would love to eat for breakfast.
Warm Throw: The throw on this is one of the more stonger ones though not chokingly so. It smells like a warm creamy breakfast type food to me. Like a mixture of oatmeal and porridge or grits. It has an undercurrent of butter in it that I didn't smell on the cold throw. The scent is very heavy, rich, and comforting. I can see why it is a popular scent.
Caramelized Pralines:
Color: Saddle Brown
Cold Throw: First off to those of you who have no idea what a praline is it is basically a confection made out of nuts and sugar. Whether it's boiled or baked or ground. So onto the review. I really get the nuts in this wrapped with Victoria's caramel scent. It smells like the nuts that you get on ice cream toppings with burnt caramel.
Warm Throw: This has a moderate throw and stays true to the scent in the shot. Smells just like it's namesake. It is a sweet and salty fragrance. I'm not big on nuts in general be it food or wax, but I decided to try this after beauty youtuber Sayanythingbrooke said that this is her favorite CBV scent and after I saw that it was on a lot of The Pouring Pot members favorites. While I'm not a big fan of this scent because it is too nutty for me, I would recommend it to those of you are nut fans or who love sweet and salty scents. Overall it's not bad at all it's just not for me.
Cold December Night:
Color: Blueberry Blue
Cold Throw: This is a customer creation made by the other Kayla on the Pouring Pot. It is a mixture of Sugared Spruce and Sweet Snow. I have not had sugared spruce yet, but I can definetly pick out the cool mint of the Sweet Snow. It has a sweeter and sharper undertone in it than just plain Sweet Snow.
Warm Throw: Smells like it did in the shot, only once it's warmed up it has more depth to the scent than before. This scent really lives up to it's name because it is a very cool minty fragrance. The throw on this one is one of the better ones as it travelled from my room to the hallway all the way to the living room. If you are a mint fan then you will probably love this one.
Frenchville Coffee:
Color: Pearl White
Cold Throw: This smells like Victoria's coffee scent mixed with heavy vanilla creamer, which in a way is pretty much what it is supposed to smell like. I don't think that Victoria's coffee fragrances smell like straight up coffee though it does smell really similair. But then again I'm a coffee snob and I like my coffee rich and decadant. Still this one smells like it's namesake. This one has a pretty moderate throw to it when it's cold as well.
Warm Throw: Stays pretty much the same once it's melted. It smells like generic coffee with a heavy dose of vanilla creamer. It has a pretty decent scent throw to it as well. The scent remains steady and will be a good thing to burn in the morning when I don't really feel all that awake.
Chai Tea:
Color: Chocolate Brown
Cold Throw: While I am a big tea fan I have never actually had a Chai Tea before so I was curious as to what one would at least smell like so I decided to get this. On cold throw I can pick apart and smell almost all of the scents said to be in this. I get the brewed tea, the tiniest pinch of baking cinnamon, I can really pick out the clove and ginger and just the hint of vanilla to steady it all out. This scent isn't really all that sweet or all that spicy. It is a very nice relaxing scent.
Warm Throw: While I have never had a Chai Tea before, but my older brother assures me that this smells just like it's liquid counterpart. The scent was really relaxing and different from a lot of the other scents I've tried. The throw was pretty good as well and it smelt like hot brewed tea with some soft baking spices that aren't really too noticeable that round out the scent really well. I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would. A nice steady relaxing scent is what I would describe it as.
Bonfire Bliss:
Color: Burnt Sienna
Cold Throw: First off the cold throw is pretty strong. This one is supposed to smell like an actual bonfire and it does a pretty good job. I can instantly pick out the cedar notes mixed with some charred or burned woodsy notes. I get a deeper musky background that I'm not really a fan of only because it kind of reminds me of sweat a little bit. I think my nose is just strange so don't let that scare you away. The description says that this has some marshmallows, brown sugar, coconut, and some vanilla in it, but I don't get that on cold sniff at all. I just get the heady earthy wood notes and the heavy musk at the bottom.
Warm Throw: This one smells more like an actual campfire than Campfire Marshmallows does. It smells just like it does on cold throw only there is a background of brown sugar in there that adds some sweetness to an overall earthy scent. The throw on this one is really powerful and it will linger around for awhile as well. Overall it smells just like a real bonfire.

Color: Saddle Brown
Cold Throw: This is a houseblend made for Charlene Howard and it is a mixture of Granny's Pie Crust, The Porridge Pot, Brown Sugar, Cherry Creme Brulee, Vanilla and a touch of Cherry. That is a lot to mix in one tiny scent shot. On cold throw alone I smell the cherries and the creme brulee. Plus I get a deeper bakery note that is probably The Porridge Pot though I can't tell for sure since I've never tried any of the scents in this mixture. The throw is pretty strong as well.
Warm Throw: This fragrance is powerful! I mainly smelled just strong Maraschino cherries with an almost maple syrupy like background. There is a definite bakery kick in the middle of it all as well but it didn't smell like porridge or pie crust.. Despite being a bakery fan I did not really care for this and neither did anybody else in my family. It was just too powerful and too complicated for us. But if you love cherries, maple syrup, and perhaps Victoria's Zucchini Bread scent then you might want to give this one a try.
