Pink Lovebat

The Lovebirds wanted to be spooky this year, and we didn’t have the heart to tell them that no one will be fooled.

 

A frothy strawberry malted with papaya juice and black cherries, topped with marshmallow cream.

This is a blushing Pink-O-Ween confection, strawberry ice cream with that malt note, the same stuff in the middle of Whoppers or Malteasers, that keeps it from getting overwhelmingly sweet. The strawberry flavor is no ordinary strawberry. There is something extra to it, which must be the papaya and black cherry. The whole thing is floating on ghostly clouds of marshmallow cream that any trick-or-treater would trade in their candy bucket for.

I recognized the scent as soon as I applied! Pink Lovebat is the sister of Fairy Lobster Foam (whose notes are: lobster-red maraschino cherry with a marshmallow froth). Pink Lovebat is brighter thanks to the addition of strawberry and papaya, and is slightly sweeter as well!

If you missed out on Fairy Lobster Foam or liked it but wanted something a bit brighter perhaps give Pink Lovebat a try.

Freshly applied, I'm blasted with pure black cherry, but within a few minutes this starts to morph into a mellow strawberry-adjacent malt and marshmallow treat. The label art is adorable!!

In the bottle this a very fluffy and pink, like a cloud of pink sugar.

 

On the wrist there's a blast of something almost acetone like which thankfully dies out immediately as it dries, but the sugariness goes with it, and I'm left with a nice mellow, light red fruit scent. The strawberry is definitely the star of the show - the papaya and cherry don't come through to me as individual notes, but at the same time it's very obviously more than just strawberry. There's definitely that malted note others have picked up as well.

 

It doesn't have a strong throw at all, but for such a subtle scent it does stick around for a good while. This is definitely going in the 'office-safe' pile - a good blend for when you want something light and fun to brighten the day, but need to keep it low-key.

In the bottle and freshly applied to my skin, I swear this smells just like a bowl of Cap'n Crunch Berries Cereal? 👀 This is not a bad thing.

 

I wonder if it is the malted aspect of the milk with the berry notes giving me that Cap'n Crunch vibe?

 

Then the cherry pops up, and it's glorious, but fleeting, leaving behind mostly a strawberry milk scent with like... a spoonful of Cap'n Crunch instead of a bowl of it.

 

After a few hours of wear, the scent is pretty faint, but I think I smell some papaya behind the strawberry milk, because I briefly smelled something that reminded me of the Papaya, Passionfruit and Candyfloss b-side.

 

I'll be keeping my decant (in the original bottle -- woot!), and I'll spend more time with it to see if I need more of it. I really enjoy the unexpected Cap'n Crunch... I just wish this lasted longer. But maybe once I wear this for my scent of the day and slather it all over, it will have much better staying power. 

 

I should also mention that Fairy Lobster Foam was a funky dairy disaster on me, but this one, fortunately, is not!
