I recently bought a cocoa butter lotion from BBW & wanted a perfume to match. I was expecting this to smell rich & creamy, with dark chocolate notes similar to Palmer's Cocoa Butter. Surprisingly, this is very different. It's airy, floral, very feminine. For the first few minutes, I get a lot of jasmine and coconut, it's reminiscent of a luxurious beachy fragrance. After it dries down, I can smell the cocoa butter; it's light but it's there. I'm eager to see how this develops as time goes on. Even though it's not what I anticipated, I'm really enjoying it. I think it's a fresh, modern take on a classic note.

sweet and a little bit perfumy.
this smells more like a designer perfume I'd find at Ulta instead of a niche, which tracks bc BTSO' Eau Intimité line is made to be more palatable to the masses. It's sweet and candy-like, like those large round chewy Sweet Tarts but there is an undertone that keeps it from being fully gourmand.
Going to let it sit for a bit to see if it changes...
* (I have smelled the og and while I liked it, that brand has an underlying chemical smell to my nose, making it impossible for me to buy anything from them. I do recall it smelling brighter and youthful)……………………………………………… Ok, it's been a couple of weeks and not much has changed. It's a perfumy candy scent, which isn't bad at all. It's just not as edible as Cotton Candy Marshmallow. I think this is great for those dipping their toes into gourmands or who wants something a little different than the other uber sweet scents out there.

A warm, creamy, cozy skin scent that feels like being wrapped in a soft blanket. I get sweet almond, creamy vanilla, cashmere, sandalwood and soft musk. Sweet but not cloying, comforting without being boring, and an incredibly easy reach for bedtime, cooler weather, or whenever you want something soft and cozy. I’ve only had mine for about a week and already love it!

- I didn’t know what to expect with this one. I have not smelled the og not any other interpretation. I didn’t even look at the notes, I just blindly bought it bc I know everyone loves the OG and so many adore Dua’s version.
- This is beautifully creamy & slightly powdery, with a velvety sandalwood base. There is a sweet note, (is it the lily or ambrette?), that makes me love this so much. To me, this is in the same family as Dama Bianca. Like she’s the daytime sister and this one prefers happy-hours & the ballet. She wears a hint of blush and nude lipstick and is a regular at the monthly mixer at the Museum of Fine Arts.
- I do think this is in the same family as VS Bare Sueded Vanilla/ Phlur’s Vanilla Skin/Sawaar Vanille Blanc. However, this is an airer & brighter version, making it perfect for all seasons.

This is cute and nostalgic; it smells like something from my childhood that I can’t quite place… perhaps one of my Strawberry Shortcake dolls; it’s has that synthetic berry smell, which is kinda reminiscent of a candle but I like it. My nose is messing with me and I detect something that smells like gasoline. It’s very faint but there is an underlying chemical smell; I’m hoping this goes away as I let this sit. * I’ve been wearing this as my bedtime fragrance and I can still smell it in the morning. 💜🕯️
