馃搵Review of Pistachio Br没l茅e from Le Monde Gourmand

-

#️⃣ of sprays upon test: (6 skin / 0 shirt)

I sprayed 2 on each arm and 1 on each side of my chest.

•

⏳ Longevity: < 1 hr.

 ⚠️ I tried this again and now that it is April and warmer, this is lasting much longer on my skin (3-4hrs). Way better than before!

•

馃憼 Occasion:

 A very cozy scent that is good for casual settings. 

•

馃尭☀️馃崅❄️ Season:

 Fall/winter as it is a gourmand but because it’s not too intense, possible year round.

•

馃泹️ Purchased at:

 the official website of Le Monde Gourmand (part of discovery set)

•

馃懇‍⚖️Verdict: 馃憤 

 If you can find this at a discounter (TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Burlington, etc.) , I think it’s worth it as a fun scent.

•

[notes] milk mousse, pistachio, vanilla pod

馃搵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  • 馃憼 OCCASION: cozy • 馃尭☀️馃崅❄️ SEASON: fall/winter • 馃懇‍⚖️VERDICT: 馃憤 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. 馃檹Special thanks to @lolascenttrail for letting me try this wonderful piece.  • 馃泹️ PURCHASED AT: macy’s • [top] ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg [mid] cara...

馃搵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. • 馃憙Perfumer: unknown •  #️⃣ of sprays tested ( 4 skin ) 2 on each arm • ⏳ LONGEVITY: 6 hrs. • 馃憼 OCCASION: casual/vacation  I imagine wearing this to the pool, cruise, beach, tropical island.  • 馃尭☀️馃崅❄️ SEASON: summer • 馃毠馃毢 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...

馃搵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 • 馃憼 OCCASION: casual, vacation, pool, daytime • 馃尭☀️馃崅❄️ SEASON: summer • 馃懇‍⚖️VERDICT: 馃憤 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. • 馃泹️ PURCHASED AT:  Official website but can be found at discounters (Marshal...
