splendidissima Report post Posted December 25, 2025 White mint, the Lab's icy slush note, and citrus! I don't get the vanilla cream at all - I wish I did, because that would add some sweetness. But I do like it - it's crisp and refreshing, and wintry in a snow-and-citrus way (you know how oranges are associated with Christmas, and also lemon drops, and maybe citrus-y gumdrops? it's like that, with snow-slush) - so it's kind of a nice change from the usual peppermint or cinnamon or gourmand types. My bottle label has a misprint, just fyi for any others out there - the art and name on the front is right, and the scent is right, for Yellow Snowballs, but the description section on the side talks about a blood-red voluptuous rose!

AnOfferingToTheNight Report post Posted December 26, 2025 (edited) This smells like I opened a window in the morning after it snowed and the breeze was a tart citrus swirl glittering with icy crystals. Lovely. I bought this lotion purely for the yuzu note (I'm a chaser for sure), but I'm happy to say that I'm a fan of the slushy, minty notes as well. I have to agree with spendidissima that I don't really get the vanilla cream, but I'm wondering if that is what's keeping this in the crisp rather than sharp realm. Regardless, I like that it's not too sweet, but if that is something you want I imagine that there is plenty you could layer with this that would work wonderfully. On the lotion formula itself, I love that it doesn't leave me feeling greasy at all--it absorbs nicely. The scent lingered for about 3 hours for me with not a whole lot of transformation over time. Edit: Mine has the same misprint! Edited December 27, 2025 by AnOfferingToTheNight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a_bear Report post Posted March 16 In the jar (I got a decant), the scent is very pink - I think it's the grapefruit. On, I get a mentholly background note similar to the one in the Samhain lotion, but accompanied by the citrus. The citrus notes meld together nicely. I also couldn't pick out anything resembling vanilla cream, but it is maybe just rounding the other notes out. Smells like the name in a good way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roseus Report post Posted August 3 This is the strongest scented of the BPAL lotions I've tried yet! Beautiful refreshing slightly minty citrus. Not super mentholated mint, more of a sweet refreshing greenness. I think this will be perfect for hot days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
