doomsday_disco Report post Posted February 23 A sticky-sweet love letter to the stranger (coworker? lifelong friend?) who’s been sleeping in your bed: candy cigarettes and root beer barrels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doomsday_disco Report post Posted Wednesday at 04:01 PM This smells exactly like the listed notes. The root beer barrels and chalky, wintergreen-y candy cigarettes cozy right up to each other and are pretty evenly balanced for the first few hours of wear, but the candy cigarettes do overtake it after a while, making it a chalky, minty scent with the ghost of root beer barrels, before eventually settling down to a cheap vanilla (which makes sense for the root beer barrels) with a hint of candy cigarette by the end of the day. It has been decades since I've had a candy cigarette, and I couldn't remember if they were just chalky and sweet or if they had a flavor to them, but as soon as I smelled this, I was like, yep, those are candy cigarettes! And the wintergreen from those goes well with the root beer barrels. I do think Stimulating Sassafras Strengthener is even more root beer barrel-y than this, so if someone tries this for the root beer candy and doesn't want the candy cigarette component, try that one if you haven't already. Although I wish the root beer barrels lasted as long as the candy cigarettes did on me, I appreciate the scent and the nostalgia it evokes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
