Cake, pastries, pies, treats!

Recommended Posts

Looking for recommendations on GC scents that feature dessert smells! This can be hard, because sometimes something lists orange and it's a fresh orange, other times it's a shaving of dried peel, so hard to tell what may end up as a cake or custard smell. 

 

I am a huge collector of tasty treat dessert scents, especially fond of vanilla and cake/cookie scents, 

  But NOT, chocolate or butterscotch or spices (pumpkin spice is ew for me). 

 

   I tried searching for cake as a tag on the sales site but it didn't pull up much in way of notes! 

 

    I'd LOVE your recommendations, even if LEs, that smell like a bakery, or cake, or creme brulee. My skin tends to turn anything I put on to it into a foodie steam, so even things like Eastern Comma just turn into hot orange tea on me. 

 

My favs (*my two biggest favs of all time) :

Detestable Putrescence, Snow White, Dorian, Peach Vulva, Monsterbait: Closet*, The Hanging Gardens, Tweedledee, Antique Lace, Hope and Faith, Punkie Night, Honey/Bordeaux/Red Roses*, Eastern Comma

 

Pure hates: lavender, sharp florals, sap/pine/pitch/smoke unless it's very soft.

You will probably love Metal Twins, if you haven’t already tried it.

LEs: Perfectly Normal Childhood is a personal vanilla cake favorite though it does have cardamom. If you like incense I really enjoy All Souls which is cakes and soft incense.

 

GCs: Cockaigne is an absolutely fabulous honey cake. There's a lot of foodie situations in Mad Tea Party including but not limited to Eat Me, Knave of Hearts, Drink Me, etc. Hellcat is a boozy buttercream and hazelnut blend which might scratch the itch. Alisz- I wasn't sure if this is considered gourmand or not and you didn't mention mint but it's a very vanilla-marshmallow mint so I'll toss it in.

Yay, a fellow foody! I also hate lavender and florals! Yay!

 

LE:

Adventuresome Encounters is a cinnamony, autumnal deliciousness, but not heavy, there’s a nice lightness. The cinnamon is not red hots cinammon, it's really very much like the marshmallow-drenched "candied" yams that are a staple for holidays in my family.
 

Please Scream Inside Your… ANYTHING. My personal fave is PSIY Snake Oil. 

 

Unsubtle Euphemism is exactly like milk bread, and would sweeten up with a vanilla or sugar SN. 

 

the Lick Its: mint + sugar + vanilla

 

imPEACHment is sweet on me as well, very fresh peach! Maybe pair it with a vanilla to get a cobbler?

 

Heirophant's Benediction: My quick note to myself is "comfort baking".
 

GC:

I find Obatala to be a bit foody, but I turn everything sweet 🤷🏼‍♀️
 

Dana O’Shea is lovely. 
 

Elegba if you like coconut. 

Miskatonic University 🤤 Irish coffee

 

Red Queen stays quite fruity on me - not quite jammy, but the dark red preserves. If you don't mind an undercurrent of woods, that's a nice one.

 

Kitsune-Tsuki is like a Jolly Rancher.

 

Bounce (TAL) is also like a delightful bite of orange candy/pez

 

Pro tip: I’ve had a lot of luck with “milk” scents, including rice milk and almond milk. Also try searching for "grains" and "butter."


ETA: 

the Dodo is like vanilla cookies with mango jelly. 
 

sed Non Gratiata is a baked good soaked in booze… so, nice if you like a booze note.
