Candles By Victoria–Zucchini Bread Review & Photos

Rating: 8/10

Sold: Candles By Victoria

Price: Depends on candle size

Description: “Spicy scent of zucchini bread baking in the oven”

Review:

Pros

  • Don’t get me wrong, this scent smells AMAZING, but I don’t think it smells like zucchini bread… (only reason I docked it 2 points)
  • It definitely has a spicy scent to it
  • It reminds of banana nut bread, more than zucchini bread
  • It’s very creamy

Cons

  • Can’t smell any zucchini :(

**Woah – okay, so that was my cold throw smell of the candle. I just now decided to rub my finger in the way a little to see if it smells any different, and it does! I definitely smell more of the zucchini now! Crazy, how it can smell SO different! I think I can bump this up to a 9/10.
