Amaretto Macaroon

Amaretto Macaroon: Oh yum! I actually thought I was going to hate this one but it's really nice. A slight booziness going on with a caramel and slight coconut thrown in.

Amaretto and coconut on my skin. Quite boozy on me.

Nothing I got from BPTP worked out for me this year, but this came closest.

 

Tons of amaretto right off the bat. This reminds me of when I make my coconut macaroons... they have a bit of almond extract in them. Once made it's not nearly as strong in them as it is in this scent, but when I smell the scent it reminds me of making them, right when I first pour the almond extract into the coconut mixture and am stirring it in, there is strong almond and coconut. This smells just like that. I like it.

 

Sadly, my skin chemistry turns it plastic. I have a tiny bit of coconut SN that does the exact same thing, so this is that coconut and it goes plastic. Except for that I really like this, woe. Maybe I'll try it on my bra [i don't have a scent locket]. Or maybe I'll just keep the imp to huff when I want macaroons but don't quite feel like making them.

 

Alas.

Almond and coconut dough.

 

Tasty, but not for me.

SWOON!

 

I love this. When wet, I get Amaretto first, then coconut as an after-scent. Once it dries on me, it blends very nicely. It's soft and sweet without being too boozy. This is probably my favorite of the batch.

This smells pretty much just like almond extract on my skin, which smells like red, syrupy maraschino cherries to me. Kinda reminds me of Ghoulish (Halloween 2010 LE: 'black cherry and coconut amaretto confection gently laced with saffron').

I LOVE the Amaretto Macaroon. I'm not a huge fan of amaretto, but after the initial, "hey amaretto!" it blends with the coconut and I don't really notice it anymore. The coconut smells like the type that usually goes shrieky and piercing, but something keeps it in check and it doesn't actually go there. This is possibly the most perfect baked-goods type coconut scent ever.

Lots of boozy amaretto at first, with a touch of sweet, foody coconut, like the kind you get for baking. After a few minutes, the amaretto fades, and it's just dusty, sweet coconut on me. Not really me, but I'd kill for a piece of coconut cream pie right about now...

I love amaretto. I love macaroons. Apparently, so does my skin, because it ate this right up. I hardly got to enjoy it at all. So I'm passing it on to someone with, hopefully, less greedy skin chemistry.
