lifetimely

This was a smack in the face of spiced rum (reminiscent of the Kraken brand). I got the sweetness of the dates, almost as though they were sliced and squashed and left to macerate in some brown sugar. The wear time was immense - around 12 hours - drying down to an indiscernible dark booze and almond.

This smelled like a thick, rich hot chocolate - like those hot chocolates in a fancy teacup in Paris, made from melted chocolate - with a generous dollop of cream on top. And all this build up and hype for nothing! What a skin chem fail. I used to volunteer with a charity, getting foster dogs ready for adoption days, and my job was to bathe them. And to me, wet doggies smell kind of musky, kind of earthy. No cream, no chocolate. Around 15 minutes after the initial application, this smelled like wet dog. After about 2 hours, my skin has eaten it into a musky soft cocoa (like wet cocoa powder), and the cream has come out - but it's sadly plasticky.
