cinnamonmel Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 wow this wafts between something gorgeous and something weirdly daisylike that I'm not sure about. It's worth wearing anyway because the bit i love, i love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna65 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 For me, much like Whoopsie Daisycake I get more of the floral aspect than the gourmand. However, I do like daffodil (and it's my flower, birthmonth-wise), so it's pretty. The background is smooth and creamy but not enough that I would really identify it as foody. I don't know that I'd wear this, really, but it's okay in terms of my chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 . . . and it's the daffodil that kills it for me! Mel already noted it -- the floral comes out as daisy-like and ruins the delicious foodie notes. Well, at least that's what my bad-awful chemistry does to it. And I had soooo wanted to love this one, mainly as an excuse to keep Jimmy on my countertop! LOVE the bold new avi, Luna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggers Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I can never tell. Is this one heavy enough to cover Cuddle Bunny, if I were to boost it? It's such a great, snuggly kind of scent on me, I keep thinking I want to boost it with a snuggly phero, and CB works the best on BF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBear Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I don't know...this wears awfully light on me, and CB has a twang to it!! But Mara is a master! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggers Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 See? I can never tell. Some of the perfumes that wear kind of heavy on me wear light on everyone else. Maybe my sense of light/heavy is off? I think I read a few posts back that Mara said it would cover Gotcha!, no problem. I just think I'd prefer CB. If I decide to go for it, I guess I'll just ask her directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo0073 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I kinda think it would cover because the time that would be needed for drydown is when this perfume is at it's loudest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissHazel Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 maybe this is a situation where one should have the perfume in oil and spray? So you could put down an oil without cuddle bunny and then spray some CB-amped highland fling over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanya27 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Holy buttercream cakey goodness! makes my mouth kinda water and crave cake for real..lol I dont get any overpowering floral at all It seems really well blended together and it actually keeps it from being too foody,which I like..

I kinda think it would cover because the time that would be needed for drydown is when this perfume is at it's loudest. No, don't think that! I think how light and heavy fragrances wear is dependent on skin chemistry so it varies. Halo has a good point though so maybe it will work. Now here's an interesting question...I wonder if it would cover the CB on you because it wears heavy but maybe not on me since it's so light...? Does that make sense?

halo0073 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 That does make sense BB but it also begs the question of how heavy/light the CB itself wears on you or her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienChangeling Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Ooo! This is nice! In the bottle, I got a blend of everything. Wet, it was this sort of boozy, cakey vanilla, and reminded me a lot of a better version of philosophy's Vanilla Birthday Cake (I have the lipgloss). Now in the drydown, I get the daffodil on top of it - and I can handle the floral! Me likey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a great, snuggly kind of scent on me, I keep thinking I want to boost it with a snuggly phero, and CB works the best on BF. I don't know if this helps buuuuuuut....I took the Highland Fling and filled a 5ml spray bottle a little LESS than half and added 10 drops EoW, then topped it off with perfumer's alcohol. If that diluted HF covers 10 drops EoW then it should cover your CB fine At least that's my thinking...so go for it!

AlienChangeling Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Retry on Highland Fling: wore it today, got the same wet vanilla, then the daffodil in the drydown as I was getting dressed. Got very busy running errands, and totally forgot - except periodically I'd vaguely get this whiff of a lovely incensy something. Not quite incense, because it isn't smoky enough, you know? Got home, got things put away and generally done, and as I'm settling I get the incense again and realize - IT'S ME! It must be the amber. I like it muchly so no problems.

cinnamonmel Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 testeD this again today, i v briefly get the smoked meat smell, then it morphed and that went away. Now, i have a beautiful vanilla that reminds me happily of something else i like that was discontinued. The floral is better on me now. I may wear this with super sexy tomorrow.

dolphindolls2 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I took my sample to work today and put it on after my day of H-E-double hockey sticks... This is such a unique fragrance, its vanilla with a bit of smoke followed by a dry down of flowers...I really like how it morp's on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchristys Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 OMG...I'm in Sample Heaven with this one!! I love the smoky vanilla. I have this vibe of camping in Loch Lomand in Scotland (never been there..HAHA) on a nice warm Spring day, when the flowers are just starting to bloom. Then, the sun goes down and it starts to get a wee nippy so we start a campfire and sit around it and tell stories of our Highland Flings. I just took a nice little vacation in my head thanks to this scent!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j5382001 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 This one is straight up florals....sorry it's not working for me. I gets daffodils, nothing sweet. Thankfully this one is fading fast on my skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j5382001 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I was thinking of giving this to my room mate but I don't think he will like smelling like florals...he's more of a woodsy kind of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invidiana Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Oh yes. As a lover of Whoopsie Daisycake I couldn't help but get this one. The amber reads almost like honey to my nose, which some of the sweeter ambers can do (and I love that about them). The vanilla here is cakier than Daisycake though every bit as delicious in its own way, and I love that hint of springy floral that mixes right into it like flower petals on a cupcake. The daffodil note isn't a green floral at all so it doesn't clash. They grow by the clusters at my place so I've smelled them many times, and the scent here is as delicate and subtle as one in real life. And of course, that label.....it definitely doesn't hurt.

MissHazel Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Wet, in the bottle this smelled like straight buttercream. Not a huge fan of buttercream but since I am a fan of Whoopsie Daisy Cake, I did slather (thus my mistake) and I'm paying for it now. On, it is straight Daffodil. I honestly feel like I'm in church at easter, and I'm surrounded by Easter Lillies (I know, different flower but I think there's some similarities or I'm just getting sense memory), surrounded by standing room only people and little old ladies wearing SUPER insane amounts of strong flowerly perfume, the air conditioner has failed, and I'm stuck here, in the middle, trying to breath through a sleeve while the priest decides to super-size-me the homily. I'm dying. I'm trying to hang out to give it some die down time, but this is easily the worst experience putting something on, that I've had and it serves me right that I slathered without testing a tiny spot. If it can't relax in a couple more minutes, this will be a wash off (and I didn't even do that to jouir de!) and try it again in a week in case this is shipping shock.

dolphindolls2 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The daffodil that originally had killed it for me the 3rd and 4th times I wore this, has now settled onto my skin nicely... I like this one much better today then I did when it was launched.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo0073 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 This is aging so beautifully. The daffodil has softened and become more rounded. The buttercream is a bit richer. Still does the miracle combo of fresh and creamy dreamy at the same time. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella15 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 This was always just kind of "meh" for me. The daffodil was shrill, and the buttercream just didn't meld with my skin very well. I kept my sample mainly for the pic of Jimmy in a kilt. But I've got it on today, and it is so pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vladmyra Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Molls, I thought it was "Meh" too the first few times I tried it- kind of sickly even (I have it in spray form). But have used it again a few times lately and I've noticed that it takes a little while to settle and bloom, but then it becomes this lovely, subtle, sweet and creamy thing that has me sniffing myself all day thinking, "God I smell good". It's such a soft scent after a while, but it stays noticeable for a good long time on me. I've also noticed it's a great one to mix with other scents, particularly if you want to sweeten something up, or combine 2 soft scents together.

phergineer Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I got a sniffle of this and loved it. I didn't even know there were cake/foody notes in it until I looked it up! On me it smells like sweet, buttery flowers. Not sharp at all. I love it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
