I agree. The most aggressively sweet smell I’ve ever smelled and I like sweet but it almost hurts my head it’s so sweet. It’s sort of a caramelized sugar/brown butter super warm toned like it would go well with cinnamon. It’s also weirdly fruity like cherries or blackberries. Very unexpected.

This is amazing! I’m surprised there’s not more reviews on this, it’s so feminine but also adult smelling. It extremely sweet and on the cusp of being fruity, if you weren’t huffing and analyzing really aggressively I don’t think anyone would guess fruit. It’s kind of the dream scent of what a teen would want from bath and body works. It’s very sophisticated smelling without being powdery but also sweet and really well blended, I wouldn’t be able to pick out any of the scent notes but it’s so good I don’t care it’s just a mysterious amazing conglomerate of smells.

Idle Moon: Vanilla Husk and a Bundle of Twigs
Mufasa replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I ordered this for the vanilla husk of course since I continually live in regret of losing my only bottle of the trio vanilla husk, nutmeg and corn husk in a move. This duet smells nothing like the vanilla husk I remember and to be honest I don’t really smell any kind of vanilla at all. That being said it’s still very sweet. The twigs note must just be going so hard that it’s completely dwarfing the vanilla. If you tried the fir needle and smoke from a few yules past (one of my favorites) it’s extremely similar. I would say it’s only distinguishable by the sweetness it’s just the sweetest fir needles to ever exist. -
This is powdery and the red sandalwood makes it very oriental incense smelling. I’m not very impressed with this one unfortunately I loved the vanilla husk trio but I stupidly only got one bottle which is why I bought this one but it’s so powdery to be honest the powder just drowns out that vanilla husk and it just slowly morphs into a baby powder and oriental antique store on my skin.

Very very buttery, wayyyy more buttery than I was expecting it reminds me of the fresh pumpkin note in the scream in your pumpkin patch but the drydown is tobacco heavy and it’s sweet and chewy and amazing I think it’s the tobacco from western bonneted bat which is my all time favorite. I don’t get much oak maybe it’s in the background somewhere and my nose just can’t tell but I’m okay with that. I’m pretty happy with this one.

Immediately testing after ripping open the package like a gorilla, in the bottle it’s very dark fruity smell kind of like a super intense version of a cherry medicine. Then on the skin it settles to a sweeter mellower pomegranate, the same as the one from the pomegranate grove from a few years ago. I don’t really get any of the sweet chewy tobacco that I thought it would be but it’s still lovely if I smelt it without reading the label I’d think it was a pomegranate single note.

Incredibly sweet, the peach is syrup candy sweet, and even though it smells so cakey- like eat me in the bottle on the skin it immediately disappears or that peach just beats the wafer into submission and it’s left as just a super tooth achingly sweet candy peach smell, it reminds me of a slightly more expensive fruit hair shampoo you’d find in a grocery store not the cheap ones the higher priced ones that are more prominently placed on the shelves with a poster of a gorgeous actress with flowing shiny locks

Fuzzy Peach Sweater and A Mug of London Fog
Mufasa replied to Seajewel's topic in Event Exclusive Oils
Love love love! It’s very soft and pretty the peach isn’t too sugary or candied. I can see the comparison to peach laundry detergent but I love it. It also has a depth to it on the dry down that keeps it from being too sweet (I think it’s the tea) which also makes it kind of snuggly and cozy this is the perfect smell for a homebody that likes to cuddle up inside with fuzzy socks -
The chestnut is easily the strongest and loudest note, which takes the overall scent a little more gourmand-esque then I thought it would. But it’s a very nice soft, fuzzy, resinous smell. Kind of similar to Sarah the mother bear + a foody nutty edge from the chestnut. It’s very evocative of the color brown, earthy and a little sweet, very nice.
-
Amazing! It’s very generic coniferous tree smelling with heavy dusting of powdered sugar and hint of creamy vanilla. Although it doesn’t quite match what I thought it would smell like, I love it. It’s very soft and sweet with pretty pretty trees at the forefront.
-
I had in mind that this was going to be a really gentle your skin but better scent that had a hint of sweetness but I was wrong. On me it’s a very heavy gourmand, I like gourmands but it was just a lot more intense than I thought it was going to be. It was very warm pastry and sugar smelling, with an incredible likeness to a maple donut. Overall I think this is a startling but not unwelcome surprise.

When your favorite GC blends are discontinued
Mufasa replied to darklorelei's topic in Recommendations
Does anyone know of an equivalent for White Rabbit? I’ve never gotten the chance to smell it, its been out of stock for the short amount of time I’ve been collecting bpal but I’m desperate to try it or something similar at least -
I really love it, however there is a weird hour period in after it’s dried that kind of smells like grape but, wet it’s sweet blueberry jam and then after that initial hour the dry down is a stunning custardy-sugary-berry blob that kind of makes me hungry
-
In the bottle it’s amazing fleshy coconut and milk but on the skin it’s not quite as nice. The first sniff is kind of like sour milk but then settles in a much nicer (but not as nice as in the bottle) light,waxy, like your skin but better smell. I think I’m going to use my scent locket for this one...
-
I really like it, but it’s way different than I thought. It starts out being super Irish spring but then settles into a very masculine, kind of musty man scent which doesn’t sound all that nice but I like how evocative it is of the stormhold and it would be amazing in a candle...
