Surprised this doesn't have a review yet! (I came here looking to see if anyone was commenting on its similarities - or lack thereof - to the Pumpkin Buttercream HG from years past.) This is my first FS hair gloss from the Lab & I'm absolutely obsessed! This is one of those scents where I can't easily pick out the individual notes because they've morphed into one new, beautiful scent. The honey contributes a lovely golden richness & the smokiness from the vanilla bean is potent, but very wearable. For all the notes being food-related, I wouldn't say this is explicitly a gourmand, but could definitely be pushed in that direction (or away from it) depending on what perfume oil you pair it with.

I really really really wanted to love this one, but I don't think my skin chemistry is playing nice with it. :') It smells absolutely amazing in the bottle & I love vanilla-y, creamy scents, especially when they get mixed with more sexy, headshoppy smells. Then I put it on my skin & it dries... And suddenly it's more Play-Doh than coconut. *weeps* Good thing I like the way Play-Doh smells? Every now & then I get a true whiff of coconut with just a tinge of Snake Oil, but it's extremely fleeting. I'm gonna let my bottle rest a bit longer to see if that helps, but I may have to swap someone for the Berry Sonker variety if it continues to not work out. Or just accept that it's my Play-Doh scent instead haha
