I just had to try this again because it's OFFICIALLY fall and I was craving something sweet and comforting!
I bought this on the forums well over a year ago, and when I first tried this on, it didn't work on my skin at all. So I put the bottle in my cabinet with my other oils and let it sit for a year. I'm not sure if that made a difference, or if my skin chemistry is just different now, but it's now one of my favorites!
In the bottle: Strong, almost boozy caramel with a hint of almond. Mmm.
Wet: I can still smell the caramel and almond, but the booze has faded. The salt is coming out as well, but not in an aquatic note. More like salt sprinkled on fresh caramels.
Dry: The almond is completely gone, but I still get heavy salted caramel. It's so realistic and sweet without being sickening! I still don't get any aquatic notes like everyone else, but that's not what I was looking for anyways. However, both my mother and my girlfriend smell straight maple syrup from this for some reason? I don't get maple at all.
This also has incredibly strong throw. I just dabbed a little behind my ears and I went to pick my girlfriend up. I didn't tell her what I was wearing, and when she opened the door to get in the car, she said, "Why does your car smell like maple syrup?" Yay! Something that finally has some throw. Usually scents have almost no throw on me and I have to constantly reapply.
Even if they smell maple syrup, that's still fine with me! I happen to love the smell of maple syrup.
