Tanniver

The cocoa came out strong on my skin at first, then the amber quickly stepped in and they did battle for a bit. The amber began to amp like crazy and I was left with chocolate baby powder. I am not an amber fan and I can't see this working for me.

My bottle of this is at least a year old. On my skin it smells of chocolate Midway. So. effing. good.

Perfectly browned, cakey pancakes with just a tiny hint of butter scent and oozing with sweet berry syrup. LOVE IT. I am totally reminded of Crumpet Rebellion when I put this on, but this has more background sweetness and the cake note is less buttery. The berry note fades on my skin and turns to maple syrup but stays true berry cake on my sleeve. Buy this now. Get it before it gone.

CAKE!! at first. Then the orange fruit comes out, and a spice..not anise but cardamom. Similiar to Lush's Soft Touch scent. After a bit I can smell the custard, creamy and gelled. Smooth custard cake with a dusting of orange zest. No anise at all. Absolutely wonderful foody fall scent. When I first applied and it was still wet on my skin I did experience a slight burning sensation but it went away fairly quickly. I am not usually a sensitive person.

Vanilla Dorian when first applied. The vanilla quickly amps up, making me think of Underpants, with a hint of Snake Oil. Dries down to vanilla dorian again. Very nice wear length and throw. I don't smell the lavender. Good stuff for sure!

Mandarin marshmallow (vanilla cream?) tea when first applied. The rose comes out after the drydown, but faint, like dried tea-rose petals in a dish across the room. Soft and pleasant scent.

The label is sooooo cool, a big pilowcase with gold colored candy spilling out. On first sniff it smells like Sugar Skull and La Befana. On my skin: It is a lighter Sugar Skull, all caramel and toasty fruity sugar....but there is a creamy marshmallow note to it too. Dry down: It has already changed a bit.....there is crushed to a powder strawberry candy coming out and a light cotton, almost papery scent too. I seriously want to lick my hand! Verdict: Starts out a warm sugary scent then dries to a wispy strawberry cotton candy scent. Very light, very sugary. Win!

I love this. Fresh sweet cotton blossom, crisp clean laundered sheets dried in the sunshine and breeze. I don't get any wood notes from this, or pine. I wear this when I want to feel fresh and clean. Great at bedtime too. I'm so glad I finally got a bottle of this! An imp definitely wouldn't be enough.

In the imp: chocolate cake or brownies! On my skin: a very clean smelling brownie...like a plate of warm brownies on crisp pressed linen. a sweetness then emerges and a hint of spice. I think I smell vanilla amber...similiar to MLaST. The cocoa seems to fade to the background and the amber nilla come forward. Mmmm I can't stop huffing my hand. Decadent and delicious sweet foody scent. eta: hour and a half later and I am getting a very light evergreen....like sugared spruce...candied not sharp...this makes it very Christmassy indeed.

Blue Fire is my first Tiki scent to try. I am so drawn to blueberry! This is very fruity in the imp, berries with a zingy lemony kick. on my skin the blueberries are still there....lemon fades a bit, and there is a fizzyness behind it all that makes it feel fresh and clean. Alright, this is like a blueberry Hamptons. I feel festive and tropical and yes, I'll take that drink right there with the blue umbrella, thanks. This works really well with my skin that turns everything to vanilla. I want to wear this all summer. I get no alchohol notes whatsoever.

In the bottle I get a warm and spicy true pumpkin cheesecake. I tested some oil on my skin and also in my hair. On my skin, the cheesecake, spice, and graham cracker amp up immediately. About 20 minutes after I applied, I noticed a sweet delicious familiar smell wafting about me, and I went in for another sniff of my arm... at that moment one word popped into my mind in large flashing letters: MIDWAY. The pumpkin and spice have vanished, leaving a sweet and shockingly strong cotton candy graham cracker cake scent. Love it. Sniffing where I applied in my hair, I still get spicy creamy cakey pumpkin. Love it as well. Love the bag, love the shoes, love everything!!
