White Chocolate Macadamia

A prototype created for a local bakery promotion.

Eep, am I first? Oh gosh...

 

I actually really like this one - but I do like gourmands and bakery scents, so, I was pretty sure I would! 

 

It opens with a burst of the Lab's white chocolate - it is distinctly the white chocolate, that sweeter creamier thicker almost-artificial (I mean that in a good way, if that makes sense? like...you know how a bar of white chocolate smells? it's exactly that!) scent. And then this lovely baked-goods note comes in, after a few minutes - it actually makes me think of oatmeal cookies, which I think is the effect of macadamia nut + baked goods? This note isn't actually super-sweet - I think that's why I'm thinking oatmeal, nuts, porridge, a big thick golden fluffy thing. This balances really well with the white chocolate note! 

 

The only downside is that it makes me want to bake white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, and eat them all!

this one is so odd to me.. i feel like it should've been a smash hit for me but it's not at all. it's not the distinctly smooth and creamy white chocolate i love to indulge in from time to time (i'm a dark chocolate truther), it's quite acrid in the bottle actually. sour white chocolate and an undercurrent of something nutty underneath. maybe the macadamia? i haven't eaten macadamia nuts in my life so i can't say for sure. and on skin, this is the first bpal scent i've ever tried that my skin absolutely eats. i put a bit on my wrist (around inner corner of my left) and it's only been... not even 10 minutes and i can't even smell it up close. somehow i catch faint whiffs of something vaguely white chocolate with my fan blowing in my direction but otherwise this all but vanishes. i would've scrubbed it off if it didn't do that by itself, so i guess it saves me the trouble. maybe the lab's non fruity food scents simply aren't for me?
