📋Review of Cirque de Soleil L’eau de Parfum

-

 

 

 A magical scent that does not disappoint the circus snack lovers. L'eau de Parfum starts off with a buttery popcorn and cotton candy, but not at all loud or in your face. The gourmand notes are light and airy, like getting a waft of butter popcorn and cotton candy as you are passing by. The popcorn note quickly fades, as the scent transitions into a vanilla and apple drydown. The apple is reminiscent of burning a Macintosh Apple Yankee Candle (also very similar to the dry down of Hufflepuff by House of Sillage).

👠 OCCASION: casual/cozy

If there is such a thing as "comfort-scent," this would be the one. The soft gourmand notes are soothing, and I personally wear it to wind down from the day. This can also be a fun scent for an outing or a day of running errands.

🌸☀️🍂❄️ SEASON: any

Because the gourmand notes are subdued, this can also work in the high heat, which makes this a great year-round fragrance.

🚹🚺 SCENT LEANS: feminine

👩‍⚖️VERDICT: 

Only issue is the longevity. For how expensive this fragrance is, 3-4 hours seems a bit lacking. With that being said, if this scent was stronger, it would be harder to wear during high heat summers. Therefore, if you are a diehard gourmand fan, I say it is still worth it, but if you want your scents to wear and project as much as it cost, then it will be a pass.

📋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...

📋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...
