imaginepageant Report post Posted August 13, 2005 I've been looking for any oil description that sounds donutty, but haven't seen one yet; all the sweet foody scents I'm seeing seem to be heavily vanilla or honey, which is great, but I really want that warm, sugary, doughy, bakery scent. Like the first breath you take when you walk into Krispy Kreme, or when you're passing the mini donut stand at amusement parks. I'm guessing Midway might have a bit of a donut scent to it, but otherwise, any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
Splendid Molerat Report post Posted August 13, 2005 I've been told that Bliss and Vice together smell like Krispy Kreme, but your mileage may vary. Share this post Link to post
olympia301 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 Grog or Jack get my vote here. I smell Jack as being more bready therefore I would pick Jack as your best bet. Share this post Link to post

lavinia Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Midway and Sugar Skull both remind of dessert and eating bad things Share this post Link to post
pekeana Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Midway very much smells like sugary donuts. Share this post Link to post
Laurel the Woodfairy Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Midway is good; also, if you can get your hands on any leftover Sugar Cookie from last Yule, it's so flat-out all-around sugary AND bakery that it may fit donut, as well as cookie, cravings. Share this post Link to post
LunaSea Report post Posted August 14, 2005 I would recommend Gluttony. To me, it smells like a cinnamon/caramel roll. Quite yummy! Share this post Link to post
joseybird Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Midway, without a dought =D it has a strong pastry note Share this post Link to post

Galen Report post Posted August 15, 2005 as far as I understand it Midway has 'funnel cakes' which are what I would call a ring doughnut I'm still waiting on my bottle to arrive this week - fingers crossed it's waiting for me at home right now! Share this post Link to post

urraca Report post Posted August 17, 2005 The imp of Old Morocco that I had smelled like powdered donuts.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I get doughnuts, minus the grease, from Morocco and from Silk Road. Share this post Link to post
imaginepageant Report post Posted August 22, 2005 Just a wee addition to my own post, for people who might be looking for donut scents, too! I now have Midway in my possession, and although I LOVE it, it's not at all donut to me. It's more cotton candy and butter to my nose. Share this post Link to post
DarkMouse Report post Posted August 29, 2005 Midway smells like Krispy Kreme donuts on me... its absolutely wonderful! I can't stop sniffing my wrists when I wear it, its awesome. Depending on the day, it starts out smelling like either cotton candy or buttered popcorn.. but goes right past that and settles on donuts - it lasts forever too! Midway is probably the longest lasting BPAL on me yet.. I've put it on in the morning and smelled it all through the night into the next morning. I'm just hoping that the bottles I have on order smell as good as this imp I've got! Share this post Link to post

therikkster Report post Posted August 26, 2006 I've managed to convert my father to BPAL, and he is desperate for a scent that is not sweet like sugar cookie, but smells of biscuits/cookies? (this is what I get for carrying my bpal in my MAC bag. I'm converting people all over the joint from the front desk. x3) Share this post Link to post

For me it smells like zweiback, but everyone has his/her own take. And for an added attaction it has "Beth" by its name on the diagram. Share this post Link to post
lookingglass Report post Posted August 26, 2006 O is mostly honey and vanilla on me. Delish. Eat Me is cake and dark currents, but smells like cookies to me. Share this post Link to post
parrot_suspect Report post Posted August 27, 2006 I second the rec of Kether (it's one of the Sephiroth blends). Smells like baked goods (almondy), but isn't sickly sweet. Other ones worth trying: Eat Me, Drink Me, Elegba, Candy Butcher, Hollywood Babylon and Gluttony. Share this post Link to post

oakmoss Report post Posted August 27, 2006 There actually was a Yule blend called Sugar Cookie. Maybe you can get someone to sell/give/swap you an imp. Share this post Link to post

ivyandpeony Report post Posted November 9, 2006 I got a sniff of Jolasveinar last weekend at our meet and sniff - and I think it will be make so many foodie fans happy, even though it's "more" than a foody fragrance. It really smells like Christmas in so many ways, then there's this pastry note in there that holds it all together. I can't wait to get my bottle! Share this post Link to post
