Beccah Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Warm & Toasty Mara’s recipe for a chilly night’s delight was so delicious we brought it back for an encore! The richness of butter, warm milk, brown sugar and banana folded into toasty bread accords with accents of walnut, pecan and chestnut. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magickal Meanings of Ingredients: BANANA ~ Fertility, potency, prosperity; lightens emotional burdens.FLOUR ~ Plenty, prosperity, health, nourishment and nurturing.BUTTER ~ Nurturing, soothing, eases troubled relationships. Goddess energy.SUGAR ~ Attractslove, luck, sweetness and riches. Lust inducing, wishes granted.NUTS ~ Fertility, prosperity, love, luck, fortitude. Scent: Warm, buttered banana bread.

hearts Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 This version is little bit more banana heavy. But not a total banana scent. It smells like warm banana bread, fresh out of the oven and slathered in butter. While the other version reminded me of buttered toast, this is a bit creamier from the exta banana. This is such a comforting scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cat Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I sound like a broken record, but: fresh banana bread, hot from the oven, slathered in so much butter it drips through and leaves an oily little pool on the plate. This is so yummy and comforting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xev Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 This is more bread and butter than banana to me. The butter comes out really strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memorare Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I sound like a broken record, but: fresh banana bread, hot from the oven, slathered in so much butter it drips through and leaves an oily little pool on the plate. This is so yummy and comforting! This, exactly. I actually overbuy bananas once a month or so just so I can make banana bread, and that is exactly how I eat it- warm and buttered- and that is exactly what this smells like, only with nuts (I don't make mine with nuts in it). YUM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katz Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm not getting banana out of it either, sadly... I've tested a few times, so I'll leave the bottle to age a tad. I'm hoping it'll balance differently when I try it next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missdarlyncherie Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 This is getting SO much better on me now. I don't get banana, which is fine by me but at first it was all nuts. Too nuts. Now they have backed down and I am getting that delicious buttered bread everyone else is getting. Wow it is so delicious now. I already placed my order...I really couldn't get more than I got right now but if this lasts I just may end up with it. What a perfect bedtime scent. Or a hang around the house in jammies Sunday scent. I will be craving this on freezing cold mornings in the winter I just know it. So I just sniffed it out of the tester and I did get a whiff of banana. Not too much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Comparing the rebrew with the original - this version is sweeter, I get more of the banana (though it's soft), and it's somewhat more intense, but still with that lovely buttery goodness, mmmm! Such warm, much toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cat Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Interesting -- I put this on today because it's a cold, rainy Saturday (my idea of heaven) and as it is my one day off from work I wanted to spoil myself by staying in pajamas with books and cats and coffee all day. I slathered Warm and Toasty on and this time I got serious nuts from it, which I don't recall from earlier test! It's not bad, just a really different flavor. The banana was still present but taking a back seat to the nuts. Fortunately the butter is constant! I am SO glad I decided to get a full bottle of this. Sample is almost gone!

LoveStruck Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) I don't get banana at all! But what I do get is movie theater butter popcorn. I love the smell - just not sure if I love smelling LIKE THIS. I'm wondering about what to layer w/this. ETA: (I was posting on the older thread!) I am completely amazed again how Mara manages to NAIL a scent. This one is indeed "warm & toasty".... I smell like buttered popcorn when it's first applied. I don't get the banana until it's completely dried down. Movie theaters should buy this stuff & have employees wear it... They could make a killing on selling popcorn. It literally makes you salivate. I'm not sure I want to walk around smelling like popcorn, buttered toast or banana pancakes, though. Any suggestions on what to layer with W&T - either another scent or some Sugareds - in order to help sweeten/feminize it up a bit would be welcome! OMG wouldn't this make a killer Wax Melt too...

tyvey Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I get banana-scented butter, like the reverse of frying bananas in butter. Less movie-popcorn butter (including, less salty) than the original brew. This faded surprisingly quickly on me but I think I'm super dehydrated as I noticed my face is super super dry today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssupytalp Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 No banana here either! I do get something hot and buttered, something sweet bakery; it reminds me of a Dutch kind of biscuits actually. It's lovely to smell, but it does make me hungry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinnamonmel Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 First time I sniffed this, I had a cold, so it was hard to make out much of it. Today I can smell things better so I tried again. At the start, a faint banana hint turning into toast and butter, literally two minutes later...bang...something a little like caraway, pumps itself up eclipsing everything else and smacking me in the face full force. Fastest morph ever. I'm sad. It's actually giving me a headache, I think I have to wash it off. I was thinking I'd need more than a sample, but this has gone so bad, I think one try was enough. It grew like those sponge capsules you used to get that you put water on and they turned into an animal. I have no idea what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I have been wearing the hell out of this. It's so weird, I know it's not in the notes, but i swear it smells coconutty to me. Like buttery banana bread with toasted coconut flakes galore. It's so good! I want to eat this LP... Just kidding I won't- but it's just that good!

Anonymous2F Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 This is very delightful! I thought it was a toasty marshmallow at first (it was the banana) its rich warm (banana forward)bread, sweet and nutty, warm and delightful Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 There is ONE bottle left of this. Talk me in or out of it. I don't think I want to smell like bananas, but so many said it didn't on them. If you still have it, how did your bottle age? (I could justify getting it for the label alone!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The banana aspect isn't that strong, I don't think. It's primarily warm buttery goodness. It's one of my favorite bedtime scents, still so delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastwood22 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 OOoooooh, yay, this one is lovely! I had to wait for a day alone with my daughter because both my son and my man hate banana, but I honestly don't think either of them would pick it up. When I first put it on, I was getting that dusty smell I've been getting with the oatmeal note, and I was bummed. Like, "Oh no! My skin can't handle the scent of any bulk dry goods!" An hour later, it doesn't smell like bread, certainly not popcorn, just kind of a cozy skin scent, like how I smell after taking my afternoon nap in my bed of crushed sugared pecans.

hedgehog Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I can't believe I haven't reviewed this one before. The banana is pretty light on me, just enough to give it extra sweet, buttery "flavor" (putting flavor in quotes because I don't eat my LPs, I swear. It's just that it's SO foodie that I almost think of it in terms of taste.) It's pure nutty sugary buttery goodness. It's the best scent EVER to wear to best. Just soft and comforting.
