Potion Master Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 K, here's the story: Fred & George Weasley - the trickster twins in Harry Potter who eventually opened their own joke shop, concocted their novelty, Canary Creams...they fed one to Neville Longbottom, who swallowed and abruptly turned into a canary. It only lasted a few moments and then he turned back into himself amongst gales of laughter. I used the K spelling because the base is supposed to be a recreation of (OMG YUM!) Krispy Kreme filling....and also because my best bud and singer Leslie from Precious Metal...her band after was called Kanary, which I named, after her last name Knauer, (pronounced Kanower). Just being silly. I amuse myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katz Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Katz, is it gingerbread-y ? is it similar to Yule Snuggle (I wubs YS )?? Liz, I'm afraid I don't have a sample of Yule Snuggle (ha! I just got a joke there - you'll snuggle, har!) It's certainly not as gingerbready as the Garland and Lace to my nose. The lemon creme is the primary note for a while, and when it fades away there's a lightly spiced cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna65 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 is it similar to Yule Snuggle (I wubs YS )?? Mara says it is, but I wouldn't be able to judge that either (having only smelled YS in wax tart form) so you'll have to tell us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've tried the tarts but did have/try the simmering oil, I enjoyed that (drops lefts ), but a touch more lemony. Still have nearly 1/2 btl felt and a lg sample of YS. If KK isn't quite the same, I can layer w/my Ebil Sug'd Ginger Cookies, til then....on an continuous search for an exact replacement, or an ever BETTER one...this one could be IT !!! woo-hoo ! Looking forward to giving a/my review when I do receive it, ordered a sample for now. I'm sure Kanary Kreme will be a winner in it's own right Edited September 5, 2011 by liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Yeah it's funny, M and I were talking about that and I said missing out on Yule Snuggle was one of the things I always chided myself about, because I definitely could have gotten at least a sample of it at the time. Ah well...I'm sure this one will make me so very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 This does sound awesome,mine will be here soon ...and good gosh I forgot I had some Yule Snuggle tarts in the freezer Fred & George Weasley - the trickster twins in Harry Potter ...AhhHAH and also because my best bud and singer Leslie from Precious Metal...her band after was called Kanary, which I named, after her last name Knauer, (pronounced Kanower). Just being silly. I amuse myself. As one who amuses myself often...I salute you ummm I was surprised when I put just Kanary in search when I was looking for the new releases...hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well...I did not want to publicly admit that I have never tasted the well known recipe this is reminiscent of This is yummy on me...kinda like an even better bakery blending of what my kitchen would smell like after making my lemon bars at Xmas,with that hint of spices in the air behind it from other goodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invidiana Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Oh my...... So good. SO good. A little more lemony at first and dries down to a thick decadent buttercream/custard with a hint of lemon wrapped up in slightly spicy gingerbread. How badly I want to eat this cannot be said.

perfumesniffer Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) This scent is creamy, delicious and indulgent with hints of gingerbread and lemon icing. Wish Pepperidge Farm made a cake like this, I'm already head-over-heels in love with their Lemon Layer Cake. The end of the dry-down reminds me of Sparkle Fuschia, perhaps it's the sweet creaminess and spices.

Elliebellikins Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Fresh on this is very lemony, but not ick lemon but mmmmmmmmmm oh yeah lemon. A scrumptious gourmand to make you consider eating yourself, or just have a tester nibble. I look forward to seeing what the hubbs thinks of this.

halo0073 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I am so sad. I smell the lemon in the vial and it's delicious but one me it vanishes! Something in this turns kinda funny on me. All I get is spice cake that's vaguely creamy. I will definitely try this again at another time of the month. I so want to love this but it does not love me. Thank goodness there is so much foodie goodness in this month's lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyVictoria Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 As this broke and died in my arms the other night.. I recalled how much I LOOOVEE this, and I am not a big lemon fan, but this...oh heavens! It was like a delicious cream pastry. The kind that I used to DIE for when I was pregnant. I always look for them at Vons and stare. They are in the refrigerated section and are little bon bon puff pastries filled with cream, the really good ones are at Trader Joes I think.. I forget what market they live at. Maybe Gelsons's? I used to eat them and go on a manhunt for puff pastries when I was preggers all the time. I was like the Cream Pastry Preggo Puff girl - and this reminded me of those delectable things only better and creamier the lemon wasn't tarty or tangy it was smooth and smelled so creamy!!! So sad that the vial broke.. oh well that just means I am going to have to buy a full bottle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella15 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 When I first put this on, it is LOVE... so sweet, all yummy fluffy sweetness with the perfect amount of lemon to make me want to lick my arm... unfortunately, the lemon fades on me, to end up a plasticky spice cake. Super sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Can this be anymore delicious and cake like? This one for me gives Darling Clementine a run for her money. I found a sample in my stash last night and OMG fell in love! It's so creamy and cakey with just a splash of lemon in there. I totally pictured my arms to be made out of cream puffs.. This is a full bottle scent for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Woo-hoo,glad you found another sample LV ...sheesh have posted about this in a couple other threads recently, should probably put here huh ...this has aged to perfection,I wore it with Pot 0 Gold and Drunken Cake on St Pattys day,absolutely yummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowflake Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Kanary Kremes smells like a delicious lemon-cream dessert. I received it a while ago and put it on only once. Today, I remembered and took it out again when I read Calii's review and I agree about the ageing: today it smells even much better. The spices are there (I love cinnamon), just in balance with the lemon and cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainwitch Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Swapped for his one, and it turned out to be a *great* trade! I love the lovely, sticky, fresh-doughnut scent. Lemon makes me nervous; some of my favorite scents in the world have lemon notes, but so often it seems to overpower other notes or wipe them away with its sanitizing Pledge-ness. Not here. Bright candy that floats over the pastry for just a moment, then settles right down into a sweet and wonderful blend. Lemon-filled doughnuts were always my favorite. This is why.

hearts Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This is sooo good- I want to lick my arm. It reminds me of lemon squares or a lemon cake. It's very creamy and cakey. The lemon wears off a bit after a while and just gives it a bright feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalthea1978 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Just got my sample of this one, and it's one I've been wanting to try for a while now. Usually I don't try them on straight out of the mail anymore because I know now about travel shock, but this one I couldn't resist. OMG...I'm wearing this tomorrow. And quite possibly ordering a fb very soon. This is almost exactly the same as one of my favorite body-spray scents of all time, which I am hoarding the last few precious drops in the bottle. It's a Bath & Body Works scent called Hello Sugar, it was only released for a little while and that was several years ago. I love this scent, and Kanary Kreme has it almost dead-on. Honestly, if I weren't expecting to spend alot in November for pheromas, I would possibly order a few bottles - I love it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I understand how you would get that, from the lemon frosting part. The great thing about this is that there's also the gingerbread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cat Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) OMG this is mouthwatering lemon creamy dessert luciousness! I've had it on for about 45 minutes now, and so far the spices are not coming out at all -- it reminds me of the equally exquisite Lorien's Skelly Tart, which I was lucky enough to have a bottle of (until I used it up!). So so so good! And if gingerbread should emerge on me in the long drydown..... I'm ready! But if it stays like this that will be just fine with me. Ummmmmmmmmm! ETA: This one was so interesting! In the long drydown, it got softer and fluffier and creamier creamy lemon. Then right before turning out the lights I reapplied and all of sudden -- lemon gingerbread! It was awesome and mysterious. Anyway, this definitely a new favorite! Edited January 16, 2016 by Blackcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
