  1. I like this, but it's almost too floral. I don't really get any apple. Although I did get what I interpreted as green stems, so maybe that was the apple? Somehow? I don't know. I liked it for myself, but I could see it annoying people if I wore too much (which might be a thing that I might do) out. 

  2. Finally! A peach that didn't turn plasticky on me! It didn't even threaten to this time! :D

     

    I LOVE this! It's so sweet and soft and feminine. I have a couple other versions, but I don't know how they'll work on me. Just my luck I find the one that's quite old works great. Maybe the others will, though...I'm hoping!

     

    I'm not sure I get "cream" so much as sugar. It's very sweet, but not cloying. I am going to have to pay better attention the next time this is rebrewed. Also kinda upset I missed out on NOCO Buttercream Peach!

  3. I was worried about this one, because of the peach. Peach almost ALWAYS goes plasticky on me. On this occasion, though, while it threatened to go plasticky all day, it never quite crossed that line. I find myself wishing the peach was sweeter and more syrupy, and that the creaminess was more forward. At the same time, I'm wondering how it would combine with Oatmeal Fairy Cake. My favourite breakfast is peaches and cream oatmeal, and it smells divine. Warm and buttery and comforting. I wouldn't mind smelling like that! Mmmm...now I want breakfast but it's bedtime! lol

     

    Come to think of it...I wonder how this one would be with a hot milk accord? Like the one in Melted Dream? Thinky thoughts...

  4. I wore this to bed last night. It's really lovely! I, too, found it to be a "purple" scent (does...does anyone else wonder if most of us who've wound up here have some sort of scent/colour synesthesia?). But when I thought about 'would I wear this often,' (aka should I buy a full bottle), the answer was no, and I don't really understand why. It's so pretty! But I guess it's just not really me or something, I don't know. It IS really pretty, though.

     

    I was in the South once and there were purple flowering trees everywhere...I guess that was probably wisteria? I don't remember the scent. But this perfume was both something I don't think I've smelled before, but also familiar to me in some way.

  5. Wow, this is an oldie! I put this on a few hours ago. To me, it smells like classic, high-end perfume. It's very pretty! Classic and sweet and it smells "rich." I don't feel like it's "me," unfortunately. Or maybe fortunately, since it's long gone. I feel like this is what high-end perfumes should smell like, but they don't anymore because they're made of weird chemicals now. It kind of smells "silver" to me. I know someone said that in a much earlier review, and I can see it. Er, smell it. 

     

    I feel like, wearing this, I should be wearing a fur coat and shopping in New York. But here I sit, in the frozen north in my pajamas, feeling the effects of :shark825:week and chopping peppers for dinner. :/ 😔

  6. This doesn't work on me. I like it in the vial, but on my skin it turns dusty, then plasticky, then sweet, and I think "here we go, it's going to work,"...but it doesn't because then it turns rubbery, then kind of sour...and it winds up just kind of sour and rubbery. It's not very strong though so I think I'll just put some Love Potion: Pink on top of it.

     

    I don't think honey scents are my thing.

    @Lainey, I just added a bottle to my wishlist. I think I have a backup, but my legs are too tired to get up and check! It's so good ❤️🍋❤️.

     

    I just have a vial and now I'm upset about that. :(

    That almost stopped me too, but honestly ? This is absolutely beautiful ! The nutty notes are not in your face at all. This is just gorgeous, creamy, & smells very high end, at least to me. 

     

    This is so pretty & delicious, I may need to order a FB in the near future. 

     

    That's good to know!

     

    I need to win the lottery, so that I can keep myself in the manner to which I'd like to become accustomed. And also so I could buy all the perfumes and the space to store them.

  9. I just tried this again--slathered myself in it in order to use up the trial vial--and...I can't really smell anything. I guess it's too old. :/ 

     

    But I did use up the vial and gain a coveted spot in my bullet box, so there's that.

     

    ETA: I can smell it a little better now (about an hour or so later). It's still very soft.

  10. I'm not sure how I feel about this one. On one hand, I tend not to like "bakery" notes, as my nose interprets them as harsh. But then I swiped this one on my arm, and rubbed it around a little bit, and now I want to eat my arm. Nom nom nom. There's something about the lemon and the cream together, OMG!

     

    Dammit. I was gonna list it on my trade page, but now I don't think I can.
