Some scents do not smell like name/description. Wicks aren't the best.

I ordered Victoria's sample 6 pack of 8 oz. jelly jars (5 times!).I really like these candles. I will however not order some of the scents that I found to be different from the description. None of the candles smell bad at all but some are just not completely accurate. When someone offers over 300 scents to choose from you have to expect that you won't LOooOVE them all. They burn ok. They can get smokey if you don't keep triming the wick (about every three hours). The first time you burn them make sure the top layer is totally liquified or you might get some tunneling. Don't be surprised when you very first open some of the jars and the scent is not very strong. Many of them are freshly made. Once they begin to burn, some of them will scent the whole bottom or top floor of your house.
Here is a list of the candles I have ordered so far. I have put a "yes" beside the ones that smell like their descripton and a "no" for the ones that do not.
1. Oatmeal Raisin Cookie-Yes(perfect)
2. Apples and Oaks-Yes(perfect)
3. Lemon Pound Cake-Yes(I've smelled Better)
4. Pattie Cake-Maybe(sweet something, can't figure it out)
5. Coconut Cream Pie-Yes(yummy)
6. Cinnamon Buns-Yes (I've smelled Better)
7. Caramel Corn-Yes(the very best)
8. Coconut Banana Blast-Yes(Fake Banana Smell)
9. Boston Cream Pie-Yes(best ever, buy it!)
10.Fresh Baked Bread-Not really(slightly sweet mystery smell. Best FBB to date. Still have not found the perfect FBB)
11.Cinnamon Donuts-Yes(amazing!!)
12.Graham Cracker Crust-Yes
13.Flap Jack-Yes
14.Maple Nut Sticky Bun-Yes(close enough)
15.Butter Pound Cake-Yes(close enough)
16.Reese Peanut Butter-No (My boyfriend loved it)
17.Chocolate Chip Cookie-Yes(bit fake)
18.Vanilla Maple Pecan-Just OK(no scent throw)
19.Cinnamon Raisin Bread - Yes
20.Country Coffee Cake - Yes (great)
21.Buttery Ginger Bread - No
22.Banana Nut Bread - No (my boyfriend likes it)
23.Coco Beach Baby - Yes
24.Summer Nights - Yes (sexy scent)
25.Fig Lychee - No (too sweet/candy"ish")
26.Mahogany - Just OK
27.Tumble Weed - Just OK
28.Cinnamon Raisin Bread - Yes (close enough)
Keep in mind that I like Yankee Candle Scents and have been looking for an alternative. In my opinion Yankee Candle has a very realistic scent to all of their candles but they tunnel and soot like crazy so I won't buy them.

I recieved my candle shipment today Friday (I ordered Monday night) so I thought that was fast shipping! When I opened the box and smelled the scents in each jar I was a little disapointed. I thought some of them did not smell very strong. Well I changed my opinion very quickly as soon as I lit the the candle! Within two minutes the room was already filling with scent! I have been burning the candle for one hour and I can smell it through out my house. I love this candle company! Victoria has just earned a loyal customer. I highly recomend these candles.If you love a candle with a great scent throw try these they smell awesome! My favorite scent so far is cinnaman stick, it smells like red hots, hot and spicy!

I purchaed several scents to sample them after reading the reviews here. I was pleased with most of them but the buttercream had a very light scent throw. I could hardly smell anything while I had it burning. The orange chiffon cake smells awesome! Victoria offered to send me a new candle with my next order since I was unhappy with the buttercream! Great customer service! Have and will order from them again!

I just received my first order from Victoria and I'm wondering why I waited so long!
I ordered her sample pack and love all the scents I got. I have used Divine Paradise and Kahlua Cafe so far. Both are strong and I love them.
I used these with a candle warmer so I can't comment on the wicking issue.

I just love this company! The amount of scents to choose from is amazing! I am like a kid in a candy store. I have been a customer of Candles by Victoria for a few years now. My favorites have to be the Graham Cracker Crust and the Chocolate Fudge Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Surprise Candle. It is a special candle that is not just under there scent list. When I lit it in my kitchen, it filled the whole house up with this amazing sweet chocolately creamy spicey smell! There are so many great companies out there, but Candles by Victoria rates up at the top for me!
