The never-ending story with vanilla
I came across Lush many years ago, I don't even remember how.
My nearest store is almost 200km away, so a visit has to be well thought out.
Somehow I'm the only one in my circle of family and friends who loves the scent of these stores. You enter and are literally overwhelmed by impressions of all kinds, colorful, shrill, kitschy and yet so beautiful.
I first got to know American Cream as a conditioner. Unfortunately, it didn't stand a chance with my unruly hair, but I always bought a small bottle just for the smell. (And yes, maybe I used to apply it all over my body in the shower, no conditioner-shaming please! :D)
Still, 200km or ordering blind, generally not an option for me at these prices. That's why the Lush empire and I parted ways.
And then there was a Boxing Day sale.
I'll never forget how the letter carrier stood in front of my door and said "Whatever this is, I want it too, it smells incredible. I would have preferred not to deliver the parcel at all and leave it in my car."
Between what felt like 400 bath balls and bubble baths, the bottle of American Cream also emerged.
One spray and I have to smile.
For me, this perfume is cuddly in liquid form.
How incredibly warm, soft and beautiful.
For me, the strawberry only comes through slightly, I mainly smell vanilla, and it stays forever.
Nevertheless, although I mainly perceive vanilla, this fragrance is somehow versatile and yet beautiful in its simplicity.
Imagine you are sitting in America, somewhere in a small town, almost a village.
There's not much there, a few stores here and there, a gas station and a diner.
The souls of the village gather there, and you sit in the middle of it all.
You see a young couple sitting at one of the niche tables, newly in love and giggling and whispering.
The two of them order a huge milkshake, as the portions are big enough.
The whipped cream piles up on top, with every sip from the straw you have a blob of it on your nose.
That's what American cream smells like to me.
Kitschy, amorous, carefree and romantic.
The longevity of this perfume is gigantic in my eyes, sprayed on in the morning I can still clearly smell the vanilla late at night.
Sillage is nice, I am always asked about my "sugar scent".
For me, a clear buy recommendation for all those who like vanilla, but for whom vanilla is not enough. In my opinion, the price/performance ratio is absolutely fair and American Cream is and will remain a firm favorite with me.
