Actual Pumpkin Cupcake I made

What I say:

I could smell the lovely scent of this whenever I opened the Voxbox. I noticed this candle right away and saw the name, "Pumpkin Cupcake".  Since I recently made Pumpkin Cupcakes I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how they smelled and I was not disappointed. The scent instantly reminds me of fall and Thanksgiving.  As I love fall and the scents that it brings, I was eager to light it.  After lighting it the wonderful smell emanated throughout the room. Even after putting out the flame I could smell the lingering scents of the candle.

Because I liked it so much I decided to use the coupon for $10 off of a 3 Wick (up to 5). Which I received in my box to buy a larger version. Unfortunately when I got online to make this purchase they did not have any candles in the Pumpkin Cupcake. Due to this issue I felt slightly cheated, how dare they get me to try a product and then not offer it up for purchase when I like it??? Perhaps they only offer this scent in the stores, which make me made because I am not driving over an hour just to buy a candle that I like, I will buy the cheaper version at my local store instead. I do a good portion of my holiday shopping online due to the lack of options in my small town.

In any caseI guess I got over it, because I did order 3 other fragrances. Upon receiving my order I removed each of the lids and was blown away by the wonderful fragrances of each. I have not burned any of them, as they were supposed to be Christmas presents for others, but now I think I will keep them and get those people something else.
