Nasa’yo ang puso ko! Strawberry-swirled halo-halo with a dollop of black cherry cream and mango puree.

In the Bottle: Juicy cherry and mango

 

On the Skin: Soft dark cherry with a  touch of mango.  The strawberry emerges quickly just as the cherry amps up a bit and the cream adds a smooth richness to cut through any acidity.  This dries down to a fruity sweet cream.  Nice.

Dark sweet cherry and a swirl of tropical fruit! A hint of cream in the background, just enough to add some rounded, well, creaminess, but it's not overly dairy or buttery. I really like this one! (Also a lot of my husband's family is still in Manila, so we love it when the Lab does all the Filipino-inspired scents!)

This one is mostly about the strawberry note on me, with a little black cherry cream lurking behind it. I didn't really get the halo halo ingredients on my skin, as the strawberry was in full-force, but maybe slathering this down my arms would help bring out more complexity in this scent.

 

I'll do that before it goes away, as I really like the black cherry cream in this and wish I were getting more of it.

Oh my god, I’m in love. 
 

My favorite, cherry, comes in hot at the forefront (juicy and candied, reminding me in the best way of gummies but also not) with a creamy coconutty base, and strawberry brightening it up for more fun. 

The mango comes out as it dries, and it reminds me of the mango scent in the bag of dried mango pieces, the good kind. 
 

I wish I got more halo halo but I’m not mad at this at all. As it lays on my skin it reminds me more of an ice cream scent, which doesn’t scream halo halo but I don’t hate it. It also still feels very familiar, and I’m definitely okay with that. I’m so glad I picked up all these Filipino scents, they are so comforting!
