dolphindolls2 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I love my Fuzzy Wuzzy with Gotcha and I'm hoping this will give it a run for its money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssupytalp Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I am so glad that Gotcha! is not giving me the super-dizzy self effects anymore that it did the first time I tried it (even though I am still very careful with it), because this scent sounds SO good! I love lavender anyway, and the combination with vanilla, amber etc sounds gorgeous. No idea what huckleberry smells like (I am not even quite sure what huckleberry is, I don't think we have it here - will have to do a quick google!) so that will be interesing to find out.

StacyK Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 This just sounds great. I love the French lavender... I think the berries will just make it a little more juicy than FW. ..and Gotcha... This is so FB worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssupytalp Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I am wondering if this is more like Body Paint. If I am reading the description correctly (and I was too excited this morning to take the time to do so), it could be: " ...soft and loveable, fans of our Body Paint fragrance will find a delicious dream come true within a creamy cloud of four varieties of buttercream frosting, with a rich drizzle of vanilla and vanilla bean, swirling around a heart of two types of luxurious French Lavender and a tangy topping of huckleberry and elderberries, all upon a divine base of dense sweet black amber...."

luna65 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Yes, that's why I put in the "fans of Body Paint" part in the description because M says they are similar. This is the foodiest lavender scent she's ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeycake Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 If this is similar to Fuzzy Wuzzy then I am all over and I have never tried Gotcha before. I have heard that Body Paint was similar to FW. I am hoping that the berries won't be so bad for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladmyra Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 This one sounds extra nommy! I find Gotcha to be a strange phero-beast (sometimes very interesting results, sometimes seems to do nothing at all), but I'd buy this anyway without the phero.

vladmyra Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 When I first put this scent on it smelled strongly medicinal in a really unattractive way, lol. But within a few seconds it had morphed into what I can only describe as a sweet, strong candy-ish lavender. This is a pink and purple scent at the same time, which is really nice. A while later it softened and became more like a lavender cupcake on my skin (I LOVE lavender flavoured sweeties!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a lovely sweet nommy scent, but as Irish eyes said, it's a good idea to give it a little while to calm down on your skin first before judging it.

LadyVictoria Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I tried this on before bed last night because I love lavender for bedtime.. unfortunately I had to scrub it off. It smelled really really strong, like castor oil or something that I hated taking as a kid. Maybe it's the medicinal thing everyone is referring to. I am going to retry , as I am nearing the end of the menses and I know that it's messing with me. Berries usually smell soooo freaking amazing on me so that is the only logical explanation I have. - motherfucking period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyK Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm not even touching this until I'm sure it's had a couple of days to settle after it's journey here. Elderberries can occasionally have a medicinal'ish scent. But.. my bottles of Act Of Violets and Mayberry have mellowed and they wee tart on me at first. This will work it is boosted with Gotcha... it was meant to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoremyWhether Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm on the fence about this one. I agree with the LV's and Halo's posts... it's very strong and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I may let this one sit for awhile to mellow out. It is vaguely medicinal but in a strange foody, sweet sort of way. If it turns out like Stacy's thoughts of Act of Violets... which I think is a great scent for lavender, then I just need to let it age and bloom. Or else it will age and bloom it's way into the trade thread along with Everything Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpriteLeigh Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hmm, I will have to agree with everyone else on the odd, medicinal quality of the lavender in this. But I have learned to hang on to scents to let them age a bit, and 90% of the time, they turn into something entirely amazing, as I am hoping for here. So I will be back with a hopefully better review later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuTrix Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Stalking successful! Package is on its way...will be sure to let my little beauties acclimate before wearing...but you can bet I'll be sniffing each one in the bottle...I don't have the kind of restraint to just set them aside without at least doing that There are a couple of perfumes that I have that if I just hold out for 45 minutes to an hour that they become just amazing! I'm cringing at the medicinal aspect and drooling over the foodie...it sounds like a definite enigma! Can't WAIT to get my piddies on dat package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleur Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I was scared of Tickle Tickle because several reviews said about sharp/medicinal lavender, and many scents can go all wonky and medicinal on me. Wasn't the case with this one though. Right from the start lavender was very soft and beautiful, and blended nicely with berries and cream. Now few hours later lavender has gotten weaker and made room for more vanilla and amber. Now it is berry bakery scent with just a hint of lavender. Unfortunately I have never tried Body Paint, so can't compare the two, but I do like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBear Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Like the others said, the lavender is quite medicinal first on. My eyes watered a bit!! But underneath it, you could smell the rich creaminess of the butter and vanilla, almost like a custard. About half an hour in, the lavender died down. I know this is probably the point others talked about where they started loving it. However, not for me. There are some lavenders that just don't work on me. Like Purple Puff. couldn't do it. This reminds me of that one in that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 This sounds fab scent-wise but I am curious about the effects it has.... any juicy stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I got very loud and scary lavender when I first applied. I left it one for about an hour and it was calming down a bit. But still very strong lavender that was overpowering the other notes. I think I will let the bottle settle for a few days before I try again. I ended up having to wash it off. Hopefully when I try it again the lavender tames down a bit. If not- off to trade thread it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
