2026 version. You ever smell a vial and start to giggle? And then you put it on and you're just grinning like a goof? Joy-inducing. Truly what a fun scent. If you think you're not a melon scent person because watermelon can read too jolly rancher or juvenile, this is a melon a for you. Here is the notes I wrote the first time I wore it: I wore it to a meeting today, and there was a fruit tray. What is on every single fruit tray? Mhm. You already know what I did. When everyone was looking at the screen, I nibbled that honeydew while smelling my wrist. No shame. Incredibly close, but my fruit was under ripe, so this absolutely is a syrup glazed ripe honeydew scent. Not getting cake, definitely getting a nice blobby of cream. Full size for sure.

My experience is a mix of all of the above, in a good way. When I dabbed on my tester before a meeting, I sat down next to a friend and she immediately grabbed my arm and took a big sniff, demanding to know what I was wearing. So yeah I FS'd this one.

I'm sorry for even writing this. I really thought this was going to be a winner and it was great in the vial. But something unholy happened on skin and that funky note others are mentioned turned to, let's say, butyric acid. Just a little, under the surface, making you keep sniffing and wondering if you're losing your mind and then NOPE no you're indeed smelling that.

Sparkling punchy grapefruit in the vial and wet. I can even get a hint of rose. But on me, it dries down to a pink powder. Just a big powder bomb. I want any of the listed notes 😭
-
Le sigh. I wanted this to work so badly. I can't get through the saffron rubber opening. I tried twice, scrubbed both. But! I did like the residual creamy vanilla left over. I just can't risk a migraine on the opening and waiting.

I'm fascinated by all of these reviews getting really different impressions. The power of scent! Wet, I get equal parts cacao and humid tea. Not tea in the bag, the wet cuppa. Wild! It mainly keeps a fairly even balance throughout wear, alternating what notes I pick up. Really surprising amount of projection. I agree it's an easy one to like if this sounds like your thing.
-
My experience was a mix of the two previous reviews! Near the end of the day of wear, it was a nice lactonic creamy haze. It's incredibly pretty and so accurate to the description. For me, I'm debating if I love the smell of this, and/or do I want to smell like this?

I took a chance on this one, knowing the oud might kill it. If not for the oud, I would need multiple bottles. It's creamy nutty praline goodness up front, but unfortunately the dry down brings out the oud so it's a no from me, but probably a yes for lots of people
-
Agreed with @wilhelmscream. The longer I have this bottle, the more the blueberry comes out. It's a beautiful, unique cardamom scent so if that is your thing, rejoice!

All of the above. Absolute Creamsicle perfection. Lasts beautifully. Obsessed.

After wearing this today, I was curious about what I wrote in September. Apparently I did not. But I found my notes from reddit: It's as lovely as I hoped and I think it will still get lovelier with more rest. This was super freshly made according to Puddin' so think with more maturation it's going to settle much more into the oatmeal wool, and tea aspects. Right now I'm getting some fuzzy baking spices on top of a bowl of milky oatmeal with a teeny drizzle of surprise maple syrup. Five months later- I was right! It's so freaking snuggly. Now I can find all of the listed notes if I really sniff around, but it really just feels and smells like wearing a fuzzy beige cardigan, while eating some oatmeal cookies and a weak cuppa, with a sandalwood candle in the other room. Longevity - off the charts. 12 hours later with a pretty conservative one finger on the top bloop, it's waned maybe by 20%.

Beaver Moon: Coconut Cream & Guava
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Same experience as @doomsday_disco. Really yummy juicy guava during the wet phase but it eventually concedes to the coconut cream. Which is pretty but ideally if I'm going to FS, I want it in equal measure for the whole wear. -
Beaver Moon: Lime Blossom & Amber Sugar
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Really really pretty. My experience is most in line with @doomsday_disco with candied lime and deep amber. Strangely addicting and has that little something special that makes me realize I don't have anything like it. Very likely full bottle candidate. -
Beaver Moon: Green Tea & Cookie Dough
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
I wish I got what either of the other reviews did. I really am perplexed sniffing this one. I can't actually name what I'm smelling. It smells nice but if I didn't know it was green tea and cookie dough, I'd never pick either of those notes. Ok mayyybe I'd eventually get to a jasmine green tea but even then it's a watercolor of that tea. I'm not turned off by this and didn't feel the need to scrub, I just couldn't say what it was doing for me in any which way. -
London Fog Cream Pie
KarenWalker replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Gifts with Donation or Purchase
With the announcement that this is joining the Activism scents, now's the perfect time to review this... because it's so dang good and everyone can snatch it up. It's bergamot cream, Earl grey floof filling, a drizzle of vanilla syrup. It's perfect. However - I get no pie-ness. But that might be a me problem, I never get any pie quality from the Lab's pie scents. It's also quite strong with only a light slather with my little imp wand.
