Kayla's Creme a L'Orange

[Kayla]

Sweet Orange EOs swirled into sweet creamy vanilla, with a dot of light and sweet spiced amber in the base.

I got very excited seeing these new threads @Kayla! I'm looking forward to reading the reviews, especially of this one though I can no longer get it. They sound so yummy! 

[Kayla]

Thanks, @Onyx! I  plan on trying it again tomorrow. I put some on a few days ago but I was really sick and could barely smell it. I think there should be one bottle left when Mara releases the ones she was holding for 2 weeks. 🙂

This was actually my top pick for a Private Edition I was interested in, but I held off because I wanted a foodie Dreamsicle/Creamsicle scent and the impression I got in the other thread is that this is less foodie and more adult. Here I am waiting for the reviews though. 😅

 

I hope you're able to get some good rest, @Kayla!

I have been wearing Creme a l'Orange this morning and it is definitely an adult take on the Creamsicle concept. It starts out a bright orange (like orange soda). After it sits for a while it seems spicy - maybe the amber? After a few hours it has settled into a spicy vanilla-orange, somewhat similar, although less complex than Juicy Lucy (which I've been begging to be rebrewed). So, while it's not exactly what I was envisioning when I requested the PE, it's exactly what I had wanted for a while. ❤️ 

... and I think I'm going to need to order the reserved bottle because I have been waiting a while for something like this to return.

Thank you for the review, Kayla! It's great when things work out like that. ✨ I'm also looking for a scent from years ago and I've found a close one recently, but it's not quite the same. I'm happy for you Kayla and also that you've recovered enough to enjoy scents again! ❤️

I'm so happy that you found a similar perfume to one you loved years ago, Onyx. It's such a nice surprise when that happens! When I asked for this PE, I was thinking more along the lines of Orange Droolious (OCCO) which was more of a true Creamsicle, but this turned out perfect, just in a different way. Yes, I can breathe through my nose again - thank goodness! 😊

Yes! I'm still looking for something that smells exactly like the one from years ago but I am enjoying the process of finding it. I wasn't around for that but it sounds delicious! Hopefully that comes back in the future! 🍊💖

I almost didn’t buy this one, because I haven’t been crazy about foody citrus scents, but I love it. It really does smell like a more adult version of a creamsicle.

Also I have only tried this once, but I didn’t not get the spice, just creamy orange

It’s funny but the opening reminds me of a Fanta (the drink). But much more multidimensional than Fanta (which tastes as sugar and additives)

On me, this isn't as bright and sweet as orange droolious, which really did have that dessert like orange smoothie scent. Exactly how I remember orange Julius smelling. This is softer and creamier. If orange droolious is outdoor summer sunshine, this is a springtime, maybe still need a cardigan, version.

 

The key word for me in this is creamy. It's orange and creamy vanilla. The vanilla is so creamy, it's buttery. It's giving it a soft, creamy edge. It reminds me of those old creme savers candies. They were hard, round candies like peppermints, but with swirls of orange and cream instead.
