  1. I felt the same about PPF, it smells good but faded fast on me. I wanted it to last longer!! I actually LOVE HoG's Ghost Puffs too, I used up my bottle but it was lovely!!! I too am curious about Bubblegum and Roses because I want a LONG lasting bubblegum scent...can't wait to hear your review...

    Beaver Moon 2012

    I love this one too! (I also loved my Pumpkin V a moment ago) I was hoping for cheesecake and I got it! The apple is of the spicey variety but that is also good because I'm not a big apple fan. This has strong throw and I loved the art too...just wish I could see the Beaver! (haha that sounded bad, lol)

    Pumpkin V

    I love this! First Pumpkin scent that is a win! And I had a feeling because it was drowned in vanillas. I do smell the vague pumpkin but it's mainly vanilla and spice and I LOVE that!
  4. I love Eat Me too! It's delicious!

    Marshmallow Pumpkin Bath Oil

    After reading Herb Girl's review I figured I'd go test my bottle too. And it is delicious!! I put some on my arm and it's gooey Marshmallow fluff with pumpkin pie too! Pumpkin doesn't always work on me in perfume oils but in this bath oil it's heavenly! I love it! WIN!

    Coffee notes?

    Pumpkin Latte didn't work on me. The Lab's pumpkin doesn't at all. But I did get this one and had high hopes but no.
  7. Yes they are VERY similar. They have the same patchouli. But I do like the vanilla in BB over the coconut. But they are totally related!

    Coffee notes?

    Hey all just read through this whole thread but wanted to know what foodie coffee scents do you recommend now? I know more must have been released...or maybe not. I tried Miskatonic University and I LOVE the sweet irish coffee scent when it hits my skin wet but after it dries it's all dusty and wood. No more sweet fooodie irsh cream coffee. I want the sweet foodie creamy coffee scent please. Eggnog Latte sounds like something I'd love but hope it's not too hard to track down...but I hope for more recs from you all. I love longevity and throw too.

    Butter Rum Cookie

    2008 -- This is amazing! It smells like I'm baking gingersnap cookies and have a large pile of cookie dough in front of me while I'm sipping on Buttered Rum. I'd have to be drunk to bake because I can't cook! . It just smells so much like spiced sugar cookie dough and I love it. I never smell any orange but thats ok there is plenty of other foodie gorgeousness to hold me over without it. 2013 -- This is still the same delicious butter rum scent of 2008 but with a little less of the cookie note. It has lower throw and shorter wear time too. But still super delicious!

    Sprinklecake

    Oh Sprinklecake. We have fallen back in love. I didn't review this the first time I had a bottle because it was a light cake scent on me. It was good but just eh. I sold it off. BUT my skin has been loving all things cake again big time so I wanted to give this a second try. Got another bottle from a forumite and now its all delicious frosting and sprinkles. I can actually smell each pretty sprinkle (my coworker even agreed). So weird. So now I have another bottle coming to me. And I hope it's the same spinkle love again! There are variations I hear of this and since it's no longer available I'm getting what I can.

    Cake, cookies, donuts, baked goods, even Cinnabon

    Got some imps of Chimera and I really like it. It's definately the cinnamon in a cinnabun just wish it had more of the buttercream frosting! Teatime in Roswell was a recent win on me I love it! Cake and tea for sure. I sold off a few of the Beaver Moon's because while they were goreous foodies my skin ate them up too fast. I realize I love foodies with amazing staying power. I also have a bottle of Sprinklecake coming to me. I had a bottle but I hear there are variations and the bottle coming now should be different then the one I had originally. Can't wait! Well keep the foodie and cake scents coming! I plan to come back to this thread more often.

    Cake, cookies, donuts, baked goods, even Cinnabon

    Good memory remembering PWM didn't work on me. Actually it worked but was too light. I did really like it though. I had Boo too but it didn't have staying power on me either. But I definately think I need a bottle of Chimera. It seems to be the holy grail of cinnamon roll scents! Maybe I'll track down an imp first...

    Cake, cookies, donuts, baked goods, even Cinnabon

    I'm back and I need a BPAL that smells like a cinnamon bun. Now I know it's been mentioned a bit before but I need a real cinnabon cinnamon bun smell. Like cinnamon, pastry, cake, sugar, and that decadent buttercream frosting! I don't want just cinnamon I need the frosting and sugar as well...please help. I will be reading way back into this thread as well. But I want some current recs too... EDIT: I also need great throw and longevity too. A must!!
  14. No answered my last Lushie question but gonna try again what BPAL smells like Big? Hope someone can help me out.

    Ichabod Crane

    I got a decant of this from a forumite and I do love it but for different reasons then to wear. On me I actually get that tea, wool, and buttery scent. But I do smell the beeswax as well. It is masculine and reminds me of a man. A cuddly Ichabod type man. I don't need a bottle but I have slathered a little on before bed to make me think of my man and how much I miss him. It's comforting in that way. It'll be a fun decant while it lasts.

    Playful Wooden Mallets

    I never reviewed this when I tried it but I will add my thoughts now...it IS a very nice soft warm cinnamon, not hot or naughty, with a soft rich wood scent as well. It was so nice but not nearly as strong as I would like it to be and had light throw. I wanted to amp the cinnamon more but my skin just ate it up. I really wanted to LOVE it but I liked it very much. I personally prefer The Gorobble for my cinnamon.

    Lady in Speckled Pink Kimono

    Pretty Peony is the first thing I smell. This is the first floral in a while that I have liked. It has such a pretty feel to it. I smell the vanilla orchid way in the back. The peony is the star of the show as someone mentioned before. The only thing is I hope this has some lasting power. Florals usually poop out on me. But I may keep this around because it's just so pretty. EDIT: Passed on to my Mommy

    Chewing Little Bits of String

    Chewing Little Bits of String. I couldn't smell much sniffing the decant. But on skin it's very soft and pretty, lightly sweet but not as strong as I like. It stays close to the skin but it is lovely. Not bottle love but nice to try. Fades pretty fast as well.

    All about plum!

    This one sounds pretty good too. What about Sugar Plum Fairy? Is that strong?

    Egg'd Mailbox

    I love this! I love all things EGG and this is exactly what I hoped it would be. It's a light egg scent that reminds me of tamago (the egg sushi)in a good way or a light creme brulee. Love the bottle art too so cute. EDIT: Ended up selling because the throw was so light

    Black Cherry Amaretto Christmas Puddin'

    I really love this scent. I wish I could have a cocktail with these flavors or notes in it. I love the amaretto and I'm getting the almond that comes with it. I do smell cherry but it smells wonderfully light mixed in. And the puddin grounds it all out. YUM YUM YUM! (Gifted this one)

    All about plum!

    Have you tried Bordello? I just tried over the weekend and have fallen in love with it. Probably my favorite plum scent. Prunella is cream, plums & wildflowers - it turned mostly floral on me but it might turn out different on you. Another Plum blend I like is Kitsune Tsuki - very juicy plum in that one. If you are looking for a darker plum scent then you could try Morgause or Blood Countess. Hope that helps Thank you for responding! Bordello was nice but smelled too much like wine too me. Pretty wine. Prunella was too light on me. So I may have to try Kitsune Tsuki only because I LOVE the name and foxes, but I worry it's still floral. Morgause sounds way too floral and Blood Countess sounds to floral and smoky.

    All about plum!

    Resurrecting this one because I wanted to know what plum scent you all reccomend for me. I'm looking for a fat, juicy, sweet, strong plum. I want a lot of sweetness but that dark richness that plum has. A strong and long lasting plum is a super bonus. If it's mixed with anything make it sweet like vanilla, milk, chocolate even...please help me... thanks!
