bruiseviolet Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Festival of Lights The holidays are a time to join in celebration with friends and loved ones, and many traditions are shared the world over - such as the Festival of Lights - which is celebrated by multiple cultures. A memory of joyous warmth is shared in our swoon-worthy hot cocoa scent...but with a twist. This is a version known as "Snowflake Cocoa" which is wholly light and fluffy with white chocolate, steamed milk, whipped cream, marshmallow and a kiss of peppermint. We must warn you against gnawing your own arm off, but we can't guarantee someone else might not try! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: WHITE CHOCOLATE aka COCOA BUTTER ~ Lightens emotions, evokes feelings of love. MILK/BUTTER/CREAM ~ Nurturing, soothing, eases troubled relationships. Goddess energy. MARSHMALLOW ~ Fertility, happiness, creativity, increase in psychic awareness, intuition, love, protection, exorcism. Gently commanding and persuading. PEPPERMINT ~ Stimulates, restores and uplifts. Cleansing, purification, relaxation, sleep, healing, psychic amplifier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OMG this one is so good! It smells just like peppermint hot cocoa with marshmallows! I feel like I could drink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruiseviolet Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think this is my favorite of the month. Unbelievably yummy. My favorite too. Halo, it doesn't really smell like white chocolate to me, I was surprised. Maybe because the peppermint smell covers up some of the white chocolate, I dunno, but it smells EXACTLY like hot chocolate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It's funny, it doesn't have ANY chocolately chocolate in it, just the cocoa butter, but of course that is a big component of regular cocoa/chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 It doesn't make me think of white chocolate per se, in that I don't get the sense of sugary cocoa-ness. The peppermint is really present at first, but it burns off rather quickly for me, but the cocoa evocation is snuggly and warm and sweet, it wears fairly close. If you like chocolate scents this is definitely one to get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calii Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Oh,yummy...this is delicious smooth hot cocoa,not overly sweet on me, with a touch of mint ...a perfect holiday scent,but all chocolate lovers,will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Unbelievably yummy is right! Holy...I really, badly want to gnaw my arm off right now, and at the same time I'm craving an incredibly fattening drinkable version of this. The creamy hot chocolate is very true, the mint mixes into it perfectly without being too sharp; there just isn't much more to say because it's soooo good!

tyvey Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I get no peppermint - just straight up rich creamy foamy hot chocolate. This is not a complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovvy Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 A light chocolate scent, with a hint of peppermint. So delicious, so creamy! I really, really like this one. I can't decide if it smells more like white chocolate or cocoa. But I am happy to sit here sniffing it and trying to guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that it's dry, it's "blooming" and I am getting whiffs of milk chocolate that aren't making me crave food. Yay! A hit!

Eggers Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I am so glad I got a bottle of this in the sale! I just broke the seal on it today, because I've been waiting for a day exactly like today to wear it. It's a cold fall day, and we're getting quite a lot of rain and wind from Hurricane Sandy, so I'm happy to be wrapped up in jammies & fuzzy socks, wearing Festival of Lights, (and a bit of H&S). I think it was Calii who suggested this one, and I thank her profusely, because this is lovely. There's a chocolatier in my town that makes a semi-famous confection called a "Mint Smoothie", and it's made of the creamiest milk chocolate you can imagine, and a gorgeous wintery peppermint. They're absolutely addictive. And they smell pretty much like this. In the winter, almost every restaurant in town keeps a supply of mint smoothies frozen, to grate over the top of hot chocolate. Sooo awesome! That's what FoL reminds me of: having a big frothy mug of hot chocolate topped with grated mint smoothie, (and doused with an obscene amount of Bailey's Irish Cream), while watching the snow fly from the front window of one of my favourite restaurants. I shoved my arm under BF's nose after I applied, and his response was, "Mmm! You smell exactly like hot chocolate!". And as far as he's concerned, that is a very good thing.

Eggers Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Haven't worn this in ages and ages... It got minty sitting around all that time! I mean, mintier than minty! I rolled the little roller ball up my arm, and the coolness of the mint gave me goose bumps! I'm now happily slathered, and smelling like the best minty hot chocolate, ever. Damn!

Guest cutie.pie Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 This is nice, minty scent... When wet all I get is chocolate, but as it dries down it's all about the peppermint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
