Gigil. I don’t think there’s an exact translation for this in English, but this is basically Cuteness Aggression, Filipino-style. Good gigil is the feeling of being absolutely overwhelmed by cuteness – VIBRATING because of someone or something’s intense cuteness – like you JUST CANNOT HANDLE THIS LEVEL OF CUTENESS. It’s a feeling somewhere between adoration and agitation? The uncontrollable urge to squeeze someone’s cheeks? Clenching your teeth because you cannot handle the cuteness you are experiencing? The feeling you get when you see a puppy or kitten so cute that you want to cry or scream? I know y’all know what I’m talking about. So, what does nanggigigil ako sayo translate to? It’s sort of… I CANNOT HANDLE HOW CUTE YOU ARE. IF I DON’T SMORSH YOUR CHEEKS I AM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND. Ok, that’s not the literal translation, but you get the gist. (Bad gigil, on the other hand, is when you are about to go volcanic with irritation. When your eyes are watering and your hands are clenching and your teeth gnashing because you are frothing with frustration. There’s too much of that in the world right now, so we’re not going to go there. I’m all bag gigil’d out. I’ve had enough bad gigil to last me a hundred lifetimes.) A scent for all of us who have been exploded by someone else’s cuteness: ube candyfloss and rice paper-wrapped red bean custard candy.

“Good morning, Eeyore,” said Pooh. “Good morning, Pooh Bear,” said Eeyore gloomily. “If it is a good morning,” he said. “Which I doubt,” said he. “Why, what’s the matter?” “Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can’t all, and some of us don’t. That’s all there is to it.” “Can’t all what?” said Pooh, rubbing his nose. “Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush.” “Oh!” said Pooh. He thought for a long time, and then asked, “What mulberry bush is that?” “Bon-hommy,” went on Eeyore gloomily. “French word meaning bonhommy,” he explained. “I’m not complaining, but There It Is.” Every solid friend group has at least one goth kid representing. Soft grey musk, pink thistle, lavender ash, tea leaves, pale iris, grey lilac, and rain-soaked moss. Each purchase of Gloomily, Gloomily comes with a 1/32 oz imp of The Donkey’s Tail. The Donkey’s Tail is not available for sale on its own, and make sure you keep it safe as you never know where it might end up.

I bought this bottle thinking it would be a sure win, since I've come to love the Lab's blueberry notes and regret passing on Blueberry, Cream, and Cardamom. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how I feel about this one, even though I've tested it twice, and I think that's because it's not primarily a blueberry scent on me. This is mostly about the cardamom and whatever comprises the chilled component of this scent (which is not mint!) on my skin. I do smell the cream beneath the cardamom and the cool note, and a little blueberry beneath that, but it doesn't smell like a gourmand scent on me. I'll set this aside for a month and see how I feel about it then, but at the moment, I wish I got way more blueberry from this!

When I first received this, and when I first applied it a week later, I wondered if I had received Colors of Spring in disguise, because this was much more dewy and fresh than I had expected. But no, this is the right scent. The plum blossoms are the star of the scent throughout wear on me, with the cherry blossoms settling behind them and being most noticeable during the wet phase of the scent, while the pink lotus is rather understated, but has a nice airy quality to it that's noticeable after several hours of wear. There's no bubblegum-y aspect to the lotus at all, if that concerns you. The plum blossoms are fortunately not doused in any sort of plum note, and they're the source of the fresh, dewy scent I'm getting from this. It takes about four hours before the sugar pops up on me, and I really love the sugar paired with these floral notes. As for the cream, I can smell it in the crook of my elbow by the end of the day, but it's really tame and not buttery or funky whatsoever (like some cream notes can be). That said, it's mostly about the sugared florals (with the plum blossom remaining as the star of the show) after a full day of wear. I was hoping this would be like Reflected Vulva, but with plum blossoms and lotus instead of sweet pea. It's not a replacement for it, but this is really pretty in its own right, and I'm glad to have a bottle.
