JazzieCazzie Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Got an imp of this in a swap and was very excited to try it. I had never tried ANY of the Box of Chocolate blends, oddly enough, but I love Beth's chocolate and cocoa notes. IN THE IMP: Sugary sweet light violet. I am not getting what I think of as a "chocolate" note per se, but that could be because white chocolate is simply different from the usual chocolate or cocoa. Dabbed on wrist. WET: It smells almost exactly the same on my skin as it does in the imp and that's not a bad thing. It's really lovely, super nice. Just sweetness (but not cloying nauseating sweetness, pure light sugar candied sweetness) and candied violets. I have never eaten candied violets but I imagine this is the olfactory equivalent of what they'd taste like. DRYDOWN: Light, delicate, sweet violets. Sorry for the department of redundancy department. Consciously I am not getting ANY chocolate vibe from this but it is more than possible that the white chocolate is simply part of what I am sniffing as "sweet sweet sweetness." OVERALL: I really, really like this. I don't think I'd buy a full bottle but would not turn down more imps. I think it would make a GREAT BPTP bath oil or bubble bath -- that I'd buy. Light and delicate and subtle. It's something I'd wear when I feel like singing "I Enjoy Being A Girl" (what, you don't go around singing that?) ... I sometimes read posts from people asking for suggestions of a scent to buy for a tween/teen girl they want to get into BPAL and now that I've smelled this, I would definitely post next time and suggest looking for this. On a scale of 1-5, a 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TorchedEarth Report post Posted August 5, 2014 This is a glorious chocolatey violety bottle of goodness. My bottle is so potent that the closed bottle makes my entire box of oils smell like a delicious violet truffle. It's creamy goodness that smells exactly the same in the bottle, wet, & dry on me. It smells exactly like candied violets taste mixed with bpals chocolate note with a little extra sweetness. On me, the scent is quite different than faith, which smells more like French violet "mints." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinyvulture Report post Posted August 6, 2014 Faith + white chocolate! First the white chocolate hits my nose. It's like a rich chocolate liqueur. Then I catch the violet. Two notes that go together perfectly. White and purple. Love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviatrix Report post Posted September 20, 2014 The sugared violets are definitely the strongest note on me! I won't complain, because I love sugared violets I'm not actually getting the chocolate, except perhaps as a creaminess in the background of the scent. A very pretty blend, if a little heavy on the floral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theseagrows Report post Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) i've been dying to try this for years and finally got my hands on a bottle. i am not really a foody-scent person, but i love violet, and i thought white chocolate might be a bit more like the chocolate lush scents (which i can wear.) this seems like rich chocolate with hints of violet. probably too chocolaty for my blood, but i am going to see how this smells after a few hours. luckily, this chocolate actually works on me, even if i am not super keen to smell like food. foody scents often go plasticky or just weird with my skin chemistry, and this does not. it's very true to it's description, though i wish the violet were stronger and the chocolate were a little less bitter and less realistic. however, i think on the rare occasions when i do want to smell like chocolate, this is what i'd be picking up. ETA: finally after a half an hour the violet becomes stronger and the chocolate is less bitter. it's like faith with a soft white chocolate, which i like a lot. i sold off my faith bottle and this is a nice replacement.
