YARA ELIXIR as a body mist.
HOLY crap. This.. legit might be the yummiest Victoria’s Secret body mist I have ever smelled. This is juicy, sweet - flirty and beautiful. It is so soft and feminine, but.. in kind of goes in a strawberry direction? I smelled this and legit thought of Yara Elixir!
This is beautiful. Soft. Creamy and gorgeous. No. I legit have no words. It’s sugary sweet but not overpowering, this is so gorgeous. Victoria Secret has outdone themselves with this one. No bad words to say about this. Great cozy scent at home, but I also recommend it with layering. Yara Elixir, YBM, Burberry Elixir. This is just fruity sweet.
I LOVE THIS.
Cozy, comforting coconut!
Out of all the VS body mists, I love this one the most. You can feel the coconut and vanilla clash together and it forms this beautiful, cozy, warm and comforting scent that I just love. I love how sweet the coconut is with the help of the vanilla. I love spraying this on a cold morning in the spring or anytime when it is cold. But, it also works perfectly for the warm weather.
I prefer this way more than Bare Vanilla. Combined together — it smells incredible! Back to Coconut Passion, it’s youthful and sweet, it works for layering, but in order for it to last, you definitely have to reapply multiple times during the day.
I love Coconut Passion. Such a beautiful, sweet coconut.
The most delicious mango
My love for this fragrance has grown exponentially over the course of seventeen hours since I sprayed this on my skin. And that’s legit how much it lasted on my skin. Incredible longevity and a beautiful journey into the notes.
When I first smelled this, I got hit with the tropical wave of the top notes. I felt them all. But, it went into masculine lean like how God of Fire does. But, that didn’t put me off at all.
After about 5-6hours, it dries into this beautiful woody mango fragrance with touches of coconut. It’s so sexy and sweet — but around that hour it wasn’t sickeningly sweet. No. Just a handsome, woody dry down with a prominent mango note.
And now at 11:49 AM, it’s this juicy mango drydown. It’s sweet - not musky at all any more. This is the dream. This is the perfume I have been searching for so long. The notes are perfect. No bad words to say. I love it. Anyone can rock this.
Unripe pineapple.. and sweet!
So. This. I really, really like this for the summer. The opening hits you with the smell of pineapple - still not totally ripe, then you get hit with sugar from the crème brûlée note. What I will say though is that.. I don’t really feel the crème brûlée.
In the dry down, you get hit with the turmeric. That was all I got about 25-30 minutes after I sprayed that. Benzoin and a bit of cinnamon comes after, but I couldn’t really smell the black pepper. Which.. if I’m being honest, I’m kinda happy about. Now, it’s fully dried down — it’s hour four. I’m getting the woodiness of this fragrance. It’s sweet from the vanilla in the base but now it’s darker, even a bit mossy - which is surprisingly pleasant!
So.. in conclusion? Fresh, very balanced and I honestly recommend this to wear daily in the morning till afternoon in warm weather! Really, really nice.
Is this.. legit just Bianco Latte?
A blind buy I kind of regretted because I went in head first into purchasing this without smelling Bianco Latte. The only thing close I smelled that was somewhat similar to Bianco Latte was Eclaire, but in my opinion.. they don’t really smell alike to me?
Anyhow. Smelled it. And.. holy hell—it’s sweet. Too sweet for me. But anyhow, I went into a perfume shop in my mall and had the bottle with me, and I went to smell Bianco Latte just to see if I can even say it smells the same.
And.. yeah. One on one. The same. That same sweetness.. I guess these have always smelled to me like.. milk after adding a bunch of sugary, vanilla syrup? But yes. This is the only dupe I recommend for Bianco Latte. The only thing I will say is that the projection is.. meh. You have to overspray in order for it to smell IMO. I recommend this more for layering. I tested Cream Velvet on my left hand and Bianco Latte on my right, six hours passed.. Cream Velvet was already saying goodbye.. Bianco’s Latte beast mode performance was still there.
Smell? Identical. Performance? Not exactly the same. Not at all, to me.
