Hello again dear subreddit,
Today I do another Haul with stuff I found in the german drugstore :)
Ivy and Lane Vanilla Bomb Bodyspray
I have to say, I was kind of upset that my favourite body mist from this company have been discontinued to make room for another Kayali Vanilla dupe but this one is good.
I do have many other Kayali Vanilla dupes like the one from Caline or the one from Nature Blossom with the funky shape, but I like this one the best. Its just as strong as these perfumes (on me) but is much more bigger so its the most bang for your buck.
But enough of Kayali, what does this smell like? It smells like a powdery vanilla to me. theres warm vanillas and this is the exact opposite of that. Id imagine this is what a vanilla body dusting powder of some hollywood starlet with a nice updo must have smelled like. It also doesnt have that "butter" scent a lot of very cheap vanillas tend to have. I do understand why this is so popular, its in minecraft terms "Vanilla Plus."
People at the gym did compliment it on me and there was one machine between us, so you know how much this projects outside on me.
9/10 - Bomb Dot Com
Caline Hair Perfume "Macaron Vanille"
I did get that when it launched immediately. there was another one called "essence pure" which kinda smelled like a little boy made of oranges, so I didnt partake cause I mainly wear vanilla stuff anyway.
I must say, I do find the scent more lovely than the performance of this hair perfume. It smells like a vanilla frosting of a cupcakke (did anyon else lose their mind like I did trying to make frosting like on Two Broke Girls back then?) its not just vanilla and milk like Eclaire from lattafa but has something "creamy" instead. I wish there was a matching macaron vanille perfume because I dont wanna have the stuff thats in here on my clothes lol.
I have to be very careful on how I dose this because it can make my hair oily quickly, it has many conditioner esque ingredients but oin the hair it rly does make absolutely no difference.
I got told this is super strong. when I move my head I can smell it and when I did hug my sister she was like "dang I can smell your perfume"
7/10 - Maybe I am just bad at hair perfumes
Britney Spears Fantasy Intimate Edition EDP
I went to an Action because there was a sale for a 50 ml Lattafa Yara perfume but the one I got I had to return becauee there was another perfume in it, I then saw that these two are here along with Jungle Fantasy and I grabbed this one because "its pink too."
I actually liked this one better than Circus Fantasy.
If you dont know what Fantasy smells like, it smells like a fruity shampoo from Fructis for example. This one smells like that but it also has a sort of almost Nivea-esque cream to it. Im personally a neat freak so the idea of something "intimate" smelling that clean really fancies me. The original fructis also has that "sour but sweet kiwi" note which is abscent here, it has in return almsot some sort of Lemon? that iosnt at much overpowering that nivea scent, its like in the background not the main stay like the Kiwi is in Fantasy.
Almost all Fantasy perfumes from Britney have been that sort of perfume that gets a "weaker" version of itself as time passes, it isnt like "this turns into a skin scent" no it just turns into itself in weaker. My sister was able to smell this one when I wore it so its stronger than OG Fantasy on me and also I find this one to be the longest lasting Fantasy on me. I almost exclusively wear this on my clothe cause on my skin the fanatasy just refuses to perform.
10/10 - I bought it for the name tbh
Britney Spears Circus Fantasy EDP
I have been lusting over this perfume for so long because my favourite song from Britney Spears is Circus.
This oe has that OG Fantasy DNA but instead of just being a shampoo, its also a hairspray by the sea. It has this interesting lemony zing to it that meshes nicely the hair spray vibe. The lemon is that kinda fizzy lemon water kind of lemon not a "lemoncake" or "toilet gel" type of lemon. Its once again very clean smelling, I could imagine wearing this on a fine dining event too because of the hair spray vibe. the other perfume I have that reminds me of a hairspray is "Diamant" from Rammstein, this smells more "salon" hairspray compared to this, this one would read more Tiktok trending Hairspray with a manga character on the bottle.
9/10 - all noses on me at the center of the ring
Bruno Banani Vanilla Muse Body Spray
I have to be honest I would have never chosen "Vanilla Muse" as the name for this fragrance, this doesnt smell that "Vanilla Forward" its more like a fruity vanilla with a sort of designer perfume character if you get what I mean, that stereotypical perfume (tm) fragrance. It has a kind of "peach marmelade jam" like quality to it too which is really nice.
This is one of the perfumes that reads on my skin different than on my clothes, on my clothes, that fruity peach scent completely disappears and turns into a vanilla plus perfume scent.
I actually never would have thought id buy something from this brand but this one is delightful, especially for the summer. On my skin it kinda lasts like water but on the clothes its nice.
7/10 - My jam (literally)
Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth Body Mist
I have to say I miss the first fragrances from Carpenter dearly but ever since the hefty price increase its just not worth it to me to buy the first three fragrances because they lasted like 3 minutes on me. So I was positively surprised by the body mist version, I assume cause they are newer but they actually last better on me than the perfumes.
Sweet Tooth opens up with a ginger bite and then turns into a sweet marshmallow scent. The ginger bite in the body mist version is a bit dampened by the first initial alcohol, but the longer I wear it the more I can smell the marshmallow actually. Its very interesting.
I will for sure now opt for the body mist versions of the first three scents, I especially want the cherry one for summer.
10 / 10 - Old love, different, but better,
Caline Mon Paradis EDP
I got this cause my sister was raving about it (she bought the Ariana Cloud body mist in return lol). This is supposed to be an alternative to Prada Paradox, which I have no clue what it smells like so I cant compare.
This smells like a bubblegum and pear scented vape to me in a perfume store. Its really interesting because literally the pear is the ONLY listed note I can smell out of this. It has that Perfume (tm) scent to it too but the vape scent overpowers it. This sounds very negtaive but I am not I think it really smells interesting, I would say this is my first official stereotypical perfume perfume. Pear is a note in perfume that always makes it better. When I compare what my sister likes usually its interesting that this is her favourite perfume cause shes more of that "baccarat rouge" type of person.
This lasts on my skin not that long but thats true for most caline perfumes, on my clothes however its an absolute beast. When my sister wore this, I was able to still smell her when she left the car so I must imagine thats it like when people smell me too.
8/10 - Do fancy ladies smell like vape liquid?
