Lavender Marshmallow Sundae

A rapidly melting tower of vanilla ice cream thoroughly glooped with marshmallow sauce and amethyst syrup, speared with shards of waffle cone.

In bottle.... veeeeery similar to TKO....but do not compare these two in the bottle.

 

TKO takes putting you to sleep seriously.  Its not something I reach for during my active time

 

This one is more of a playful  lavender scent for me. this progresses as it dries down from a very forward drier lavender STOMP to a more demure lavender that lets the ice cream sundae elements come forward too. Not overtly sweet at all. The waffle cone is barely peeping out for me at the 2 hour mark and I was searching for it. I would not call this overtly foodie.

 

overall a Very pleasant addition to the Lavender kitchen but not a floofy marshmallow or sweet ice cream if that's what you are hankering after.

The lavender is strong and herbal in the wet stage. But it disippates and the vanilla ice cream comes through. The vanilla ice cream is realistic and smells creamy. The drydown is a waffle cone.

I blind bottled this knowing it would be full of win, and indeed, it is! This is exactly what it says on the tin. I'm getting lots of lavender, marshmallow, and vanilla, with the marshmallow becoming increasingly floofier over time on my skin. The lavender is most noticeable during the first few hours, and then the scent mostly becomes about the marshmallow and vanilla. The vanilla ice cream note is not the same as the one featured in Detestable Putrescence, so if you like lavender, and that particular vanilla ice cream scent didn't work on you, it's still worth giving this one a shot. 

 

I'm basic and hoard lavender and vanilla scents, and this one has marshmallow, so I'm going to need more than one bottle in my life.

First straight up win of the season. Lavender forward while wet, quickly morphing into a sweet vanilla ice cream with a hint of cone as well. I agree that this worked for me when D. Putrescence didn't.

In the bottle, I get all melty lavender ice cream all the time. I was expecting it to be similar to TKO but that's not the case for me, even at this early stage. TKO is straight up sugared lavender to me, in the same camp as the sugared violet and sugared rose of Faith and Hope respectively. This Sundae, at least for now, is not sugary, it's cream in its sweetness. Soft and fluffy.

Once applied and started to warm up on the skin, I am immediately reminded of an old Lilith blend I loved, Daybreak, which was also heavy on the lavender-vanilla coupling, and I like it here, too.

Upon full drydown, the kissing-cousins vibe of this scent to Daybreak continues, only instead of the third guest at the party being a cupcake coconut, here it's the lightly baked-sugar-cookie vibes of the waffle cone. 

In all, a lovely low-medium throw lavender-vanilla confection, nice for a calm and gentle daytime scent, but also a new one to have in the rotation of bedtime perfumes. 💜
