Blissful Relaxation

Cardamom, bourbon cream, white sandalwood, and incense.

In the Bottle:  Cardamom and sweet cream.  The incense, while not obvious, steers this away from pure gourmand.

 

On the Skin: (I spilt half the bottle which I am bummed about 🙄)  As in the bottle, cardamom forward and cream supporting and then the incense steps forward and everything merges.  This is beautiful for cardamom lovers like me

On me, I get mostly something like brown sugar--maybe the bourbon cream is reading that way? Unfortunately, that note is taking over the sweet cream and cardamom, which is what I was hoping to get more of. I admit to testing it right out of the mailbox, however, and I will test it again in a few days to see if anything has changed.

Yup, I agree with the brown sugar mentioned above, I'm quite sure it's the bourbon cream. It's really much on the front and somehow it reminds me like... toasted brown sugar? It all mellows down remarkably when completely dry. I get mostly cardamom and bourbon cream but sandalwood is also present.

 

Later phase is so much better than the first sniff from the vial, again a reminder that skin testing is often almost necessary.

I was reluctant to try this one because I already have cardamom scents I like and bourbon cream scents I like and I *probably* didn't need this combo?

 

but I snagged a sample anyway and it's lovely! comes across a bit more gourmand than I would have expected with the incense involved, although I have been using a cocoa butter lotion bar lately. hangs out all day but loses intensity after the first four hours or so, which is a good showing for a shunga imo. I think I will stick with DILF for my bourbon cream fix tho!

Oh this scent made me giddy! It’s beautiful and yummy and I’m so happy I have some of it! The cardamom is delectable and the bourbon cream is sugary sweet, and the incense grounds everything from being too gourmand. The bourbon cream note reminds me of the cream note in Relic of Honor, another entry from this year’s Lupers, so Beth must have been feeling the creams this year.
