Synthetic Sweetness
Alone, each of these vials falls flat. The names sound as if they would be a gourmand lovers delight, whether alone or mixed together, but either way, the experiment just doesn't work. It truly bombs.
#113 lacks any sense of vanilla orchid. There is absolutely no tempting floral and the honeyed cocoa is bitter, dark and brutal.
#114 Tonka bean and Amber comes across smelling as fish, as in dead fish on ice at an open-air market. I truly cannot understand how these notes can be produced this way and considered appealing. Another SA remarked to me that she thought one of the vials smelled like dead fish but couldn't remember which one. To that SA-it's #114, now I know. Thanks for warning me.
#115 is the sweetest, if you like synthetic smells. There is nothing here to remind you of actual Sugared Creme or Fennel. Put the three together and you have a very strange sweetness that you would have to believe is chock full of chemicals. It just doesn't remind the senses of anything delicious as a vanilla perfume should. There is no resemblance to buttercream frosting. It's not cozy or comforting, but more on the unsettling side.
Nice idea, ingenious presentation with 6 nifty vials to tuck away with you, but alas, they just don't smell good alone and together? They're a chemically created vanilla concoction that makes you wonder if that's whats hiding behind the Febreeze in the commercial.
Btw, the vials are made of glass and easy to break. I dropped one , it shattered. They don't appear reusable, either. Had they been made of a metal or plastic, and the tops were able to come off easily, that might have been a plus instead of all checks in the negative column.
