tinylegacies

I loved gingerbread poppet and I expected to love this. The reviews made me a bit nervous though.

For no reason! I did love this but in a totally different way.

Wet, it was very bright and ginger-y. Much lighter than gingerbread poppet.

On the dry down, the citrus-y ginger tones down and the vanilla, marshmellow creme and spices come out but in a softer, less dense way.

Definitely loving this.

I am wearing the 2010 version today and I want to eat my wrists. I definitely smell like a gingerbread cookie. So amazing.

In the bottle and wet, this was very sharp. The tart, tangy-ness of the mulled wine seemed to overpower everything.

As it dried, that tartness faded a bit and it smells warmer, which I guess is the marzipan coming through.

It's a very bright, juicy scent. It's kind of making me thirsty!

Definitely keeping this one and maybe buying a bottle.

In the bottle and wet on my skin, it reminded me a bit of Elegba with the rich brown sugar-y scent.

That faded a bit on dry down and some of the other notes came out to play.

Now, after about 15 minutes, it's more waxy than anything else. I'm not sure if it's a keeper.

I really wanted to love this. I enjoyed it when I opened my imp and when I initially applied it.

But it quickly turned

It appears that honey is a bad note for me.

I'm another one who is getting the anise/black licorice from this. I liked it wet and on the initial dry down, but as time passes, I seem to amping the musk (I think) and it's taking over.

Not sure if I'll keep this one.

ETA: decided to do an all day test on this. man, the throw is impressive. my carpool buddy commented on it immediately when I got in the car this AM. She said that all she can smell is the musk and leather and compared it to Old Spice.
