📋Review of Boardwalk Delight by Skylar edp

-


Love at first sniff!!! Starts off as a strawberry frosted donut but quickly intercepted by solar notes with airy cotton candy. Some say dryer sheets but not the first thing that comes to my mind, if no one mentioned it. The solar note makes this sweet gourmand scent the perfect summer wear because it doesn’t choke you out. The dry down is a light vanilla icing. A truly delightful journey through cotton candy land in the bright sun.

👩‍⚖️VERDICT: 👍 

Let’s start with the cons ☹️: bottle is not the best made or best looking. The base of the sprayer keeps coming off and attaches to the cap. Sprayer is more like a hose than a mist. Price is high given these cons.

The pros 🙂: the scent is AMAZING!!! Multi-layered scent from strawberry donut to solar cotton candy to vanilla icing. This baby layers well with so many scents and also fixes many scents. (Layering combo reel soon to come!)

I was able to get this under $90 so it was definitely worth it for me, but even at full price, the juice alone is purchase worthy. ♻️Not to mention it is cruelty free, hypoallergenic, and vegan.

📋Review of Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit cologne

 #️⃣ of sprays tested: 1,000,000 on skin & shirt (I’m exaggerating but you know Jo Malone scents don’t last) • ⏳ LONGEVITY: 3-4 hours but only if you over spray  • 👠 OCCASION: cozy • 🌸☀️🍂❄️ SEASON: fall/winter • 👩‍⚖️VERDICT: 👍 The bottle is what drew me in and although I don’t own a single Jo Malone scent, because of their poor performance to high price ratio, I wanted to give this one a try. I am not a ginger lover, so the opening was a kick in the nose, but as the scent evolves, the ginger turns into a gingerbread cookie and the increasing vanilla in the drydown leaves me with biscoff cookie. I am actually happy about the lack of longevity, because it helps make this a more wearable scent. Ginger and cinnamon can be overwhelming for me when they are strong, so I appreciate the toned down spices in this masterpiece. 🙏Special thanks to @lolascenttrail for letting me try this wonderful piece.  • 🛍️ PURCHASED AT: macy’s • [top] ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg [mid] cara...

📋Review of Carioca Heart by Jusbox edp

Starts out like a mango pineapple daiquiri with a hint of rum (not boozy in any means). This mix drink is for the lightweights, the ones who like their cocktails more juicy/sweet than alcohol-y. Then the sandalwood and ambroxan kicks in, giving it a slight rubbery scent on me, but this gets better with each wear. Also, I am not a fan of either notes because my skin tends to turn rubbery, but not terrible in Carioca Heart. The drydown is where I hit gold: the sandalwood gives a creamy touch to the vanilla. The mango is still present but in the background with a slight kick of labandanum. • 👃Perfumer: unknown •  #️⃣ of sprays tested ( 4 skin ) 2 on each arm • ⏳ LONGEVITY: 6 hrs. • 👠 OCCASION: casual/vacation  I imagine wearing this to the pool, cruise, beach, tropical island.  • 🌸☀️🍂❄️ SEASON: summer • 🚹🚺 SCENT LEANS: unisex  Although the opening is sweet and fruit, as this dries down, the sandalwood and labdanum adds a more masculine side. Therefore, this one le...

📋Review of Lait de Coco by Le Monde Gourmand edp

-
The milky white liquid gives this scent a resemblance to coconut milk. It’s not overly creamy but more of a watery coconut (with very slight sun tan vibes but quickly fades). I don’t like to drink coconut milk but if it had a scent, this is what I imagine it to smell like. Not cloying or heavy, perfect for high heat. ⚠️UPDATE: I  tried coconut milk just to give you a real comparison and yes, this is coconut milk but not as milky but more watery. •  #️⃣ of sprays tested (4 skin) 2 on each arm • ⏳ LONGEVITY: 2-3 hrs • 👠 OCCASION: casual, vacation, pool, daytime • 🌸☀️🍂❄️ SEASON: summer • 👩‍⚖️VERDICT: 👍 I like it. Ok, we know the longevity is not there, but it’s what makes it a great layering scent. I’m not big on sun tan lotion coconut smell because it’s overpowering, but this is just enough coconut where it’s a little creamy and refreshing. Great for summertime by the beach or everyday wear. • 🛍️ PURCHASED AT:  Official website but can be found at discounters (Marshal...
