Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a 1/32 imp decant from KosmikFade. The front label features a heart and the decanting information in an ornate script above an acanthus leaf design and the decanting website address. The back of the label has the scent name and scent notes along with the perfume company’s name. The bottle appears as follows:
Scent:
- ITI: This smells like vanilla bourbon ice cream with a drizzle of buttery caramel and cream soda sugar crystals. There isn’t a whole lot of sarsaparilla with the cream soda note, just a light fizziness and that nostalgic cream tone of the cherished fountain drink. So far, this smells like Llama Llama’s jubilant kid sister, full of ice cream, soda, sugar, and sunshine.
- Wet: Wow, this is much more vanilla-forward than Llama Llama from the previous release. Very waxy, buttery vanilla ice cream and sugared vanilla with a pinch of caramel-kissed patchouli topping a cream soda. If you love foody vanilla, this one might be for you.
- Dry: Okay, this is amazing once it’s had a chance to settle. After 2 hours, the vanillas here turn into something exquisite, a round, luscious vanilla cream with a buoyant fizzy cream soda note underneath flecked with refined crystalline and a breath of vanilla orchid and distant bourbon. Vanilla Fields has nothing on this one.
Other Impressions: [Wet] “It smells like orange Hi-Chew and old milk. It’s at the very end, but it works as a background note.” -Tony
