📋Review of Emerald (Element Edition III) edp

-

 If you told me this was a CK1 flanker, I would believe you. As a fan of CK1, naturally I am drawn to this as well. Although not listed in the notes, I personally smell some rhubarb (which I’m usually not a fan of but I don’t mind it in this). A very clean, crisp, and fresh scent that is perfect for summer days.

 #️⃣ of sprays tested (14 rolls on skin)

7 rolls on each side of the arm

•

⏳ Longevity: about 3 hrs

Performs more like an edt but projection is pretty good

•

👠 Occasion:

Casual, work friendly, running errands, day time

•

🌸☀️🍂❄️ Season: 

Spring/summer

•

👩‍⚖️Verdict: 👍

This came in a set of three rollers (Emerald, Rose Quartz, Pearl). Even though I personally liked the other ones more because of the rhubarb in this one, I still think this a solid buy. If you come across this at your discounters, you need to give this a sniff. The full bottle is 100ml, but still very affordable.

🛍️ Purchased at: 

As mentioned, I bought this at Marshalls but you can also find it at TJ Maxx and amazon.

📋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

-
Image
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...
