Beccah Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Strawberry Cream Cake Perhaps more than any other fruit, strawberries are associated with romance and Valentine’s Day, as a member of the plant family Rosaceae the connection is obvious! Strawberries bring one of the first signs of Spring, as the first fruit to ripen upon the season’s approach, and thus, as we find ourselves in the last days of Winter, the rufescent sweetness gives us hope for the blossoming of all things…especially love. A prized aphrodisiac and believed to encourage love and affection in those who share the fruit with each other, tempt your loved one with a whiff of our romantic-minded confection! A trio of strawberry accords folded into buttercream, pudding-style and rich cake-y vanillas, then covered in thick cream cheese frosting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: STRAWBERRY ~ Attraction, friendship, draws fortunate circumstances in all areas of your life.VANILLA ~ Aphrodisiac, inspires happiness, playfulness, sexual arousal, lust, vitalizing.BUTTER/CREAM ~ Nurturing, soothing, eases troubled relationships. Goddess energy.SUGAR ~ Attracts love, luck, sweetness and riches. Lust inducing, wishes granted.MUSK ~ Self-confidence and strength, sexual attractant, heightens passions and arousal. *Hey look! They got Halo to model on the label for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missdarlyncherie Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 This is probably the one I go FB unsniffed on. Strawberry and buttercream?! Seems like an obvious mood lifter for me.

LadyVictoria Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm totally getting Halo's Strawberry. I think I might sex mine up with SS4W or Lace tho- because I want to smell like a slutty fem shortcake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Ducky Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 This one smells High Strawberry in the vial. I must have sniffed that vial about a dozen times before finally using it! If you were fortunate enough to have scored a bottle of Sweet Jessica, this is a very subtle version of it. Sweet Jessica was a very, well, sweet strawberry cream. This is Sweet Jessica Lite -- it won't raise your blood sugar or decay your teeth sniffing it. It's soft, yummy, strawberry cream, emphasis on the soft. Unlike the screams given off by the annual strawberry shower gel from BBW, this whispers. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) This is a candied strawberry softened with sweet cream. It reminds me of my youth: Strawberry lip smackers and my Little Pony. JD and Tyvey are right, this does remind me of a lighter Sweet Jessica or orange-less Fallen Angel. It's begging for a Lace or Heart & Soul add in!

StacyK Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I loved this and I'm so glad I went FB. No pointy cake notes on me, YES! A smooth strawberry/vanilla. It has depth but it does not scream. A subtle, pink, strawberry cream scent. It's for big girls. Yes definitely Lace, Heart & Soul or Gotcha would go well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's a sexy grown up Strawberry. Like a classy strawberry-cream dessert you'd share with a hot date in a high end restaurant. I don't get little girl fruity with this at all.

hearts Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Scent memory is a weird thing. Strawberries and cream remind me of my Strawberry Shortcake dolls from my childhood... But this perfume is yummy! And the soft musk drydown keeps it from veering into little girl perfume. Edited January 27, 2014 by hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoremyWhether Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Today is the day!!!! I am not wearing anything because I want a nice clean slate when it arrives and this is one that I got FB... actually two. I admit it. I love strawberries!! From the reviews, it sounds like this is going to be a major winner!!! Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpriteLeigh Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 First impressions wet: Strawberry Bubbilicious! Like you just popped a piece in your mouth, that first juicy burst of flavor, the syrupy sweetness of that initial sugar rush. In minutes, it tones down, and morphs into a much more sophisticated strawberry, swirling around with a whipped vanilla buttercream and something a little perfumey in the background, must be the musk! I think I will like the dry-down if the musk comes out some more on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBear Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 My hometown has a snow cone place that makes the best snow cones you will ever eat, period. My favorite are the strawberry, the rainbow (which contains a streak of strawberry for the red) and from my youth, the Michaelangelo Ninja Turtle (lime green with dribbles of red strawberry). The initial blast of strawberry in this LP is exactly like it and took me back to summer evenings walking around with friends and big heaping snow cones. First on, I worried that this was too youthful, but I quickly changed my mind, It's a rich, creamy vanilla-strawberry fragrance. It's not like ice cream, though, is a rich, buttery dessert drenched in strawberries and cream whipped with just a touch of vanilla. The musk makes this all grownup. I wonder if this will take cops. That's what I want to wear with this. Straight cops. Lace, if I want to play nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) The strawberry in this is indeed very sweet Jessica-like. But the cake takes it in a different direction - more fatty than sugary as compared to sj. I am looking forward to getting more musk- it's only just drying down. Eta Ooo yeah there it is. Now that's it's dry it's reminding me powerfully of going into an Anthropologie store. I think it's the dry grown up surprisingly not-that-foody vanilla.

Cherise Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Love the authentic sweet, ripe strawberry it's so delicious I wouldn't mind it w/out the vanilla and buttercream notes, just 100% strawberry deliciousness. I do get a fun lip smackers vibe from it though but with real fresh berries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuTrix Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So. What had happened was, like always, I couldn't wait 24 hours to smell everything. Well, the top on this little vial was being quite resistant to being opened...leading me to FINALLY get the top off but in doing so I swiped my finger pretty generously. I don't have the heart to wipe it off so I guess I'm testing prematurely That being said, it's incredibly bright! It must be the strawberry. I don't think I'm getting the truest reading though because I'm getting fruity jolly rancher - which I don't hate, lol, I just know that things can change a lot overnight so I'm sure that vanilla-y butter creamy goodness is hiding in there somewhere...will return with more as it reveals itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo0073 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 My top had the same problem NuTrix but mine actually broke! I talked to Mara about it this morning and she shared this tip: use a cloth or rag and hold both the top and bottom of the vial with it while you pry it open. It will save your fingertips the pain!

NuTrix Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Halo - Oh WOW! Thanks for sharing that tip! I had opened like 4 vials, tried that one...for quite some time, lol...then moved on and came back to it BECAUSE I needed to give my fingers a break It's been the only one so far of all the little vials. So sorry yours broke! I hope you didn't cut yourself I know I was worried I would break mine. At least I know from fighting to get the lid back on that it won't go popping off by accident! Tyvey - Hmm...no fair Not helping that I still have a half dozen vials to sniff through yet either...who KNOWS what I'll be smelling by the end of my frantic olfactory overload attempt!

StoremyWhether Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I decided to try this one first today for work. I like it. The strawberry first comes across very fresh and ripe but not overly sweet. After it dried down, I could make out the vanilla and it mellowed out the fresh, green aspects for me. It's very light so it's not going to knock anyone's socks off. Definitely good for work. I'm not sure it's a love. I'm going to keep it, wait awhile and try again and see what I think. I do however think this is an awesome warm weather scent so I have no doubt it will be loved - if not now, then definitely come around April.

Cherise Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yeah the strawberry died down pretty fast on me as well and a smooth buttercream lingered for a couple of hours, not over powering at all and I slathered myself in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cat Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Mmm, the name says it all: this is cake for sure, and the strawberries are gorgeous real fruit! It settles down quickly on me and is a subtle, sophisticated foodie scent. I am not sure if I'll go full bottle -- not because it isn't gorgeous, but I'm not sure how much use I would get out of it (if I didn't have my Petit Four Your Thoughts, it might be a different story!). I am starting to look at my LP collection and realize I have only so many hours in the day and so many days in the week! But if you are looking for pink cake and like to wear it a lot, look no further--this is IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiana Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Creamy strawberry-vanilla candy! This reminds me of those strawberry Creamsavers in the best possible way. It has that tart zing of the strawberry to balance out the sweet elements, and a creamy, slightly buttery undertone. I have to keep reminding myself it has no calories.
