A playful, tidy, sweet bruise: chilled blueberry cardamom cream.

In the bottle, creeeeeeeeamy blueberry with that glimmer of cardamom in the background.

 

On the skin, if blueberry is your thing, then oh my GOD this is intoxicating! Rich, creamy blueberry with a cardamom edge. It does have a nice bit of chill to it too.

 

(Back in April of 2020, we released a Menage a Trois of blueberry, cardamom and cream. This IS similar, but different. Creamier, spicier! I'm happy to see that combination of notes live on in a new way!)

I bought this bottle thinking it would be a sure win, since I've come to love the Lab's blueberry notes and regret passing on Blueberry, Cream, and Cardamom.

 

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how I feel about this one, even though I've tested it twice, and I think that's because it's not primarily a blueberry scent on me. This is mostly about the cardamom and whatever comprises the chilled component of this scent (which is not mint!) on my skin. I do smell the cream beneath the cardamom and the cool note, and a little blueberry beneath that, but it doesn't smell like a gourmand scent on me.

 

I'll set this aside for a month and see how I feel about it then, but at the moment, I wish I got way more blueberry from this!

I had a similar experience, it's cool cream and cardamon on me. I'm getting the sense that the blueberry might be a lot more in the throw, which is hard to confirm myself at home.

I let this rest 2 weeks before trying it out. I get a suggestion of blueberry from the bottle, but as soon as I applied it, it exploded (in a very lovely way). I’ve loved every cardamom cream I’ve gotten, so no need to expand on that. The blueberry is slightly chilly, but a nice beginner’s level of that metallic chill note. It’s also much more prominent in the throw, rather than sniffing the skin directly. I keep getting whiffs and I love it! It’s a beautiful balance of nice, pleasantly spiced sweet perfume, and a gourmand. Big fan.

 

 I’m wearing it with Honey Marshmallow hair gloss and Bourbon Vanilla hair gloss.

Gentle creamy blueberry, not super strong, but the juiciness stands out against the cardamom, which is heavier for cardamom than I remember cardamom being. The cream is heavy, so maybe that’s what’s working with it. 
 

I don’t get any kind of a chilled factor here, just warm and sleepy vibes. This sits really close to the skin. I wish the blueberry were stronger.

Agreed with @wilhelmscream. The longer I have this bottle, the more the blueberry comes out. It's a beautiful, unique cardamom scent so if that is your thing, rejoice!
