Reviews of several new collections from a non-gourmand lover
Hi everyone! I went to a couple stores today and tried out the Velvet Bohemia, Dulce, and Halloween collections. Keep in mind I love fruit and sugar scents and tend to dislike gourmands and most vanillas.
Hey Boo: not a repackage of Apple Rush! It's kind of a cinnamon-y apple and reminds me of something I've smelled before. In fact, I think it's the body care version of the PINK Halloween candle of the same name.
Never Ghosted: a sugary, ambery scent with a bit of marshmallow. Absolute love!
Ghoul Next Door: photorealistic peach gummy. It smells exactly like a BBW peach Bellini hand sanitizer I still have from like 2016 lmao
Glaze à la Mode: it smells like a sweeter version of SDJ 62. To my nose it doesn't smell like the pistachio scent from fall 2024; that one was not as sweet and much more nutty.
Vanilla Mousse: heavy vanilla with a hint of marshmallow. To my nose it smells super similar to Bare Vanilla, which I don't like. I was hoping for something more marshmallow than vanilla.
Berry Parfait: a sharp berry with the slightest crumble note. I like it but don't love it.
Milky Madeleine: the mist was really light with a faint sweet vanilla scent but the lotion is much more gourmand. I don't like it for that reason.
Velvet Bohemia: light chai scent, not a scent profile I like but not bad.
Mystic Silk: to my nose it's a light nutty, cinnamon scent. I was hoping for more of the caramel and didn't really like it.
Cashmere Haze: a pretty but generic coconut, and I don't like coconut.
Suede Wonder: a clean, plush, suede berry scent. When I say plush I mean that it smells soft but expensive. When I say clean I mean that it's not very sweet but seems like something I'd want to put on after a shower.
Ruby Strawberry: if strawberry could smell medicinal, this one is it. I didn't like it.
