  1. This isn't quite the sugary note I was expecting, but I wasn't disappointed either. I bought it last year and then saved it for a very, very special occasion at the start of February, so I had a lot pinned on it really. I put quite a bit in the bath because it was a special day and I could still smell it on myself by the time I went to bed... and the same the following morning! It compliments some of my favourite perfume oil blends incredibly well (Boo in particular, the older the better) and I have used it since I opened the bottle as a layering note on more than one occasion. Also, the label art is so cute! :wub2:


  2. I usually use Erebos on our bedsheets, but since we got this my husband has much preferred it. He's a freak for gourmand blends just as I am, so it's no surprise to me. I get every single note described but most especially the coffee, hot chocolate and apple strudel. It's maddeningly good and is cosy enough to get us right off to sleep at night. I know Erebos will sneak back in eventually, but for now Konditorei is definitely the household favourite :wub2:


  3. I love this. I love foody, gourmand blends and this is one of my favourites when it comes to Yules. It's sweet, warm, comforting and is spicy without being overwhelming. It compliments the perfume perfectly and has definitely become a go-to for me since the weather got colder outside.


  4. I adore Beth's snowy blends, so this spray is absolutely perfect for me. I have a selection of atmosphere sprays, but this one is by far the one I go to the most. It helps me ground myself and think more clearly and I find it aids my concentration when I need to work on writing or on stuff for my business. It's cooling and wet and invigorating. Beautiful! :wub2:


  5. I mainly get ylang ylang from this one, which is fine but I work with it a LOT at work and so it reminds me somewhat of the blending area and being stressed when needing to meet deadlines. Other than that personal association, the scent is very sweet and sensual and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. The jasmine is much more obvious once the spritz has settled, though I have to say that I'm not really getting any red musk. There's a hint of blood orange, but only just. It's a keeper, but I don't think I'll require a back-up.


  6. My husband's reaction upon sniffing this was 'chocolate cake batter!' and I have to say I agree. This, along with the Bourbon Vanilla, is the first BPTP massage oil I have tried and I'm not at all disappointed. The scent is absolutely spot-on and makes my mouth water. Wish this came in a bigger bottle so I could slather every day :wub2:


  7. I can't believe it's taken me this long to try Sugar Cookie. I have the 2011 version (the one with the girl kissing a reindeer on the label) and it is sublime. Sweet, biscuity goodness. I've been slathering with this since yesterday morning and I am totally hooked. YOM.


  8. This is one of my new staples and I absolutely love it. Red musk is my favourite perfume note and this blend really packs a punch with it. It's warm, saucy, sultry and sort of... feral. I'm not usually crazy about florals but here they are fine, delicious even. I can see this aging wonderfully and I can't wait to see how it deepens and matures. 10/10.


  9. My skin gobbles this stuff up in record time, which does disappoint. It disappoints because for those glorious few minutes before it has dried completely, it smells like sugar-musk heaven with a sweet boozy undertone that gives a playful kick. I'm not going to trade or sell my bottle because I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some miracle will occur during the aging process and it will not disappear so fast if left long enough to mature.

     

    10 out of 10 for what I do get before it goes, though. Bloody beautiful!


  10. I bought a bottle of this a year and a half ago (during my GC buying frenzy) and upon re-testing it, well-aged and now very plumptious, I find this to be an absolute and total treasure. In the bottle and wet on my wrist, it is incredibly heady and dense with wine notes, deep berries and incense. It reminds me, during the drydown, of visiting hippy shops with my Mother when I was a little girl, but in the most delightful and nostalgic way.

     

    When the oil settles and the base notes claim dominance, it becomes sweet and very sexy. I absolutely love this. I'm putting in a group order with my two best friends and another girl I work with next week and at first I was wondering what I should buy. I didn't think that I needed any back-ups until I re-tested this beauty and now I can see myself ordering at least a couple of bottles. Gorgeous, ripe and moreish. This is just sinful and lovely.
