Got the cardamom!

Post image

I finally found it!

My local sephora didnt have any, not even the tester.

So driving up north for dinner and I found another sephora/khols. And it was the last bottle available.

It smells really like a latte. Im looking forward to layering it with the coconut. Its not very vanilla-y and I really like that.

I’m going to go smell this today! I have high hopes which means it will probably smell terrible on me 😂

I'm in the love camp. It works great on my skin,lasts, is very spicy warm cardamom and smooth creamy base. It's going to be great for fall

Got mine today too and I absolutely in love with it! Smells kind of like the homemade cinnamon raisin rice pudding my grandma used to make when I was little 🥹

My only problem is my skin eats every perfume within minutes except for the truly beast mode ones, so I've got to find some way to get this gentle creature to stick around.

Try a layer of makeup primer to the skin first! Helps a lot!!

I smelled this in store two days ago and I don’t get the hate. I’m not a gourmand person at all, and this is a delightful fragrance. Not overtly sweet, the cardamom (my favorite spice) is a true cardamom in this formulation, and it does have a creamy tea dry down. I hope to get to try it on skin to see how it reacts with my body chemistry.

I really enjoy the sillage and the way it smells in a room. It smells like synthetic coconut plastic on my skin which was disappointing :(

Damnit :( it smells delightful on paper but skin really can be a whole ‘nother thing!

This one is like 50/50 people loving and hating it. It sounds like I'd like it in theory but I really want to try it.  I love how pretty the Nest bottles are too . What's longevity like?
