ajcj213499 Report post Posted September 12, 2013 A scent redolent of the crusty exterior of burnt marshmallows. The reviews are so varied on this!I was expecting more of a foodie scent, but on me this is pretty much a straight up campfire scent. I detect a bit of sugar if I put my nose up to my wrist, but the overall throw on this is smoke and a firey-ness that I think a lot of people interpret at cinnamon. I don't know if this is a keeper for me yet, since I do have smokey scents I may like more. It needs further testing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
animalcule Report post Posted September 16, 2013 I get toasty vanilla marshmallow, a hint of cinnamon, smoke, and the same 'autumn leaves' slightly aquatic note I remember from October (the BPAL blend, not the month). This is a perfect autumn scent for me, especially when I'm outdoors - it really is like toasting marshmallows over the campfire on a cool, humid fall night. Hence me breaking it out and reviewing it. I don't wear it the rest of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tharsei-thanate Report post Posted November 20, 2013 Got a tester of this from sfsassy! I've been super excited to try this and now that it's finally on I'm a bit startled. It smells like Christmas! Like the smell of a Christmas shop, minus any pine or fir. If I concentrate hard I can get marshmallow specifically but casual sniffs pick up cinnamon and sugar and a very light smokiness. I loooove cinnamon so I'm very happy! Oh wow, the sugar becomes more recognizable as marshmallow the longer it's on. So glad I got to test this! I think I need more.

vanilla323 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 It was a while ago I had tested this one but I remember it was mostly cinnamon on me with a little marshmallow in the background. It was delicious but I wanted more marshmallow!! The throw was decent and it lasted pretty long though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
filigree_shadow Report post Posted November 27, 2015 This definitely does smell like marshmallows, to me -- with kind of a burnt caramel scent over the top and some smokiness. I like marshmallow, but I'm not crazy about the "burnt" part. I do like the scent, but not as a perfume. Burnt/hot scents just don't really suit me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizziesLuck Report post Posted May 28, 2016 Wet: This is much more perfumey than I expected, and smells more like a "vanilla sugar" or even "pink sugar" type scent with hints of smoke than a creamy marshmallow. That's disappointing! It's not bad or anything, just not what I expected. It doesn't smell like toasted marshmallow to me. Dry: Cinnamon? Not sure where the spice is coming from, but it now smells less perfumey and more spicey, but still not what I expected. It's actually really really nice, but it's so different from the idea that I had in my head that it's throwing me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiam Report post Posted July 25, 2017 Torching is my preferred preparation of marshmallows. And, as in real Mc Coy, the burnt exterior does not have a sweet sugary marshmallow scent. The Gorobble is just burnt, there is no tasty marshmallow under that singe for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soupy Twist Report post Posted December 12, 2017 Dammit, this is the Lab's vanilla note which turns into "dollar-store vanilla candle stuck in a milk jug and set on fire" on my skin. Sigh. It's not the Lab's fault; it's just my skin chemistry. It's the same one which is in French Vanilla, so whatever that did for you, this will too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
