Name that Scent and win!!
Help CBV name a new scent!

I am the keeper of the light! I am the keeper of the light! I am the keeper of the light! I am the keeper of the light!

Candles By Victoria needs your help! We have created some wonderful house blends, but we just can't seem to find the "perfect" name for these wonderful creations. Submit your scent name and if your entry is picked you will receive $20 towards any Candles By Victoria candle purchase.

Winners will be contacted by email and their entry will be announced on our website and in our newsletter at the beginning of each month. One winner per month. All entries submitted become the property of Candles By Victoria.

This month help us name this unique fragrance blend:

An absolutely unique fragrance. A wonderful aromatic blend starting with top notes of powdery peony petals, romantic alyssum, jasmine, and fresh strawberries. Bottom notes of lily of the valley, Egyptian musk, and vanilla beans. Simply fantastic!

E-mail us your scent name. Please include your full name and mailing address.




Name that Scent Winner!!

I am the keeper of the light!

Candles By Victoria's Name That Scent Contest was another great success, with over 600 name suggestions, it was exciting to see all the creativity everyone showed with their entries. Thank you to everyone that entered, we have so much fun reading through all the entries, and we are continually amazed at how creative you all are, keep those names coming, who knows you could be our next lucky winner!!

We decided this months scent combination, a fresh green clover, and ivy with middle notes of romantic snap dragon, rose petals, and carnations; ending with base notes of white musk and fig leaves, should have a name that really described everything that this wonderful fragrance encompassed, and this months winner did just that!

Now on to the winning name.... drum roll please.......

The winner of Candles By Victoria Name that scent contest is Becky Hitt. The name Becky came up with for our fresh green clover, and ivy with middle notes of romantic snap dragon, rose petals, and carnations; ending with base notes of white musk and fig leaves is
Shamrock Kiss.

Shamrock Kiss is now on our website and available to order. Thank you Becky, it was a difficult choice again this month with all the unique and creative entries we received, but we kept coming back to you and Shamrock Kiss, we love the name and feel that it really describes this wonderful scent combination. Thanks so much and have fun spending your $20.00 gift certificate!

CBV SURPRISE CANDLES
FUN!

As you know we hand pour every candle here at CBV. As we are pouring we sometimes have scented wax left over from each batch that we pour, instead of wasting this wax we pour them up in 8 oz. no frills jelly jars and sell them here in the store. Our customers LOVE them, we can't keep enough on the shelves! Each 8 oz. candle can have as little as two or up to as many as 5 layers of a different scent. We do not mark them so they are a surprise to you as you burn them but with each layer you get to experience a different fragrance. They are so much fun and we wanted to share these with our online customers as well! Located on the 4th candle page.

Candle Memory
I am the keeper of the light!
When burning a candle for the first time, it's suggested that you burn it one hour for each inch in diameter. This will allow the pool of wax to extend to the outside edges and will prevent your candle from forming a "canyon" in the center. Burning a candle this way will also set it's memory. Each time you burn the candle it will "remember" to burn to it's edge.

The Notes! The ♥ of our Candles
I am the keeper of the light!
Did you know a typical fragrance contains 30 to more then 200 different ingredients in infinitely variable proportions? The key to an amazing fragrance is the perfect combination of Top Notes, Middle Notes, and Base Notes.

The Top Note: This is the first impression. It is the fragrance the customers notice when they unscrew the lid of our candles.

The Middle Note: This is the heart and soul of the fragrance. It's most pominet after the top-note recedes. The middle note is what you experience while the candle is burning.

The Base Note: This is the note with tenacity, the lingering scent in our candles. This is what you smell even after the candle is extingished.
