luna65 Posted October 1 OMG I LOVE THIS. But it's not quite what I expected. It's very spicy, but then again I am All Spice when it comes to these kinds of blends. However, I really like it because the spice mingles just right with the coffee and creamy notes. The creamy part is not that present, in that way it reminds me of the first version of G&L (v1 and v2 were very spicy on me, v3 was very creamy), I think this is what I wanted A Wake to smell like on me. I would even want to layer this with something creamy like BBM or OCCO White. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't order the sampler and was curious if it is similar or had a completely different feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luna65 Posted October 1 It's different - at least to me - in that Lina's Latte isn't that spicy; I get mostly the caramel part of it myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eastwood22 Posted October 1 (edited) @Kayla and @luna65 thank you ladies!!! I have Lina's Latte in my cart AND a FB of Garland, the only two FB's for this order, and was just about to read up on the notes to see if I was being redundant.... I love caramel on it's on, and I love a spicy coffee, I wear Wicked over Latte Peche fairly frequently. Edited October 1 by Eastwood22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missdarlyncherie Posted October 6 This collection keeps getting better and better. I don’t really buy FB’s anymore as I am SWIMMING in LP’s but I’m up to four must haves already. I never really got to enjoy the Garlands and Lace’s of Christmas pasts because my sister always got the sampler out of my packs. I wasn’t really into spicy scents back then anyway but OMGGG this is bringing back memories and I am swooning over this. I only get coffee right out of the sniffer really. On my skin after dry down it’s mostly gingerbread, cream (eggnog?) and spice!! It’s comforting! Love love love it 😍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyvey Posted October 10 (edited) obviously this was the first one I tried, and obviously it is incredible. I thought I knew how good it’d be - it’s one of those that you can smell in your mind’s nose - but the reality. I put it in and immediately said loudly “WTF.” It is creamy sweet spicy perfection. Yet another in this collection that feels matured already. Edited October 14 by tyvey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Cat Posted October 17 Utterly scrumptious. I need to do a direct comparison with A Wake but I still went full bottle. I love coffee scents and my skin often hates them so this is pure win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eve Posted October 18 You guys have talked me into getting this. And, I’m going to use the NEW WEBSITE to do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
