In the Vanilla thread here in Parfum there was mention of a study that said more men got erections from punmpkin pie than any other food scent. Anybody have any data to support that?
I don’t know why the gourmand scents don’t appeal to me. For some reason the obvious olfactory pleasure of food doesn’t connect in my brain to scent i would be drawn to in woman.
I saw lots of yummy looking scents and pumpkin scents on Cleanse your soul, but I didn’t see pumpkin lavender. I scrolled up and down and my eyeballies hurt. What category in the list is it under? The vanilla bean noel section looks scrumptious.
Your brain may not connect that way, but according to these articles it’s a common reaction. Neither my husband nor I care for foody scents on me. However I get compliments from others when I, occasionally, wear them. I do keep trying, hoping to find a few that I like enough so I can use them to cover/blend with the chocloatini, coconut, and dreaded cookie scent in the women’s products here. Truth is there are plenty of foody scents that go with them, but not that I’m comfortable smelling like.
I don’t want to spend the day or evening hating the way I smell. I find scents that are overpowering or too sweet or any scent I really don’t like, distracting.
God knows everything is better with bacon. Inkling, what was that scent you were wearing that smells like bacon?
I’m thinkin’ a nice sensual earthy scent for you, perhaps something along the lines of L’Air du Blewit?
Scroll down passed the Vanilla Bean Noel blends…to the Foody/Bakery/Sweet category. In alphabetical order you’ll find Pumpkin Lavender Vanilla listed right under Pumpkin Bread.
Hi kleed Thanks for bumping this up. I forgot about it…lol.
Me too, I’m kinda burned out on a lot of the ones I have and am itching for something new. You know I’m not into foodie scents, but Wolf said he likes some fruity scents and I like them too, so I’m gonna try a few I think he’ll like. We’ll see, it’s always a crap shoot. I don’t mind and even like some sweet notes, it depends. I just don’t like smelling like candy or cake…so shoot me.
I nearly went blind trying to narrow down my list. It was hard…lol. I’m gonna choose from these -
Pumpkin Lavender Vanilla (CYS Exclusive) - Interesting, sophisticated Pumpkin! (IDK…but in the interest of penile blood flow, what the hell)
Jamaican Rum Punch - A blend of sweet, but not too sweet, and tart fruit scents with the topper of rum makes this fragrance irresistible
Mediterranean Fig – Ripe fig, not too sweet, not too tart, blended w/a touch of green
Ruby Red Grapefruit – Juicy, tart grapefruit scent
Voci della Mora (“Rumors of Blackberries”) - The perfect blackberry scent blended with tart lemons and sweet vanilla musk
Bahia Honda (CYS Exclusive) - named after my favorite beach in the Florida Keys. A medley of sweet orange blossoms and yuzu, sandalwood and vanilla beans, along with subtle green notes
Still I Rise (CYS Exclusive) - Musky floral blended with rich amber and wood notes. Incredibly sexy…
Casting Shadows (CYS Exclusive) - Hard to describe, but very sensual. Partly green, partly a “skin” scent, partly powdery…completely amazing
Bello e Caldo (CYS exclusive) - Italian for “beautiful and warm”. Warm musk scent with a hint of vanilla and the slightest wildflower undertone
Gypsy Nights (CYS Exclusive) - Warm sandalwood blended with cardamon, ylang ylang and salty sea air notes
Tapestry (CYS Exclusive) - Amazing deep scent w/amber base notes, combined with vanilla and slight citrus notes
LOL…yes I am…but don’t blame me! I learned from you!
All I know, Tish, is I’m gonna be smellin’ great…when I’m livin’ in my car.
It’s that time of year, need to blow the dust off and check levels of my chocolatini & cookie phergoodies. Comfy warm sweater scented with any of the above + is/b and lust after me in chocolatini under it =
I’m loving this one!
Fragrance Roll-on, Sweet Almond Oil | Harvest Sugar
Pink Sugar blended with just a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg
..and this one!
Fragrance Roll-on | Adagio
Chocolate Coffee blend mixed with Vanilla Spice and Maple Cream
This one too!
Hair Protein Mist | Walnut Cream Cake
Layers of rich brown sugar cake topped with walnut whipped cream frosting
Yummm!
3-in-1 Body Bubbles | Gingerbread Caramel Cake
Warm gingerbread blended with gooey caramel cake
OMG is this one good.
Creamy Dreamy Scrub | Cioccolato e Cocco
Rum, Coconut Cream, Chocolate and Caramel
But this one, smells just like Red Hots candies. I like the candies just not what I was expecting. Powerful cinnamon!
Moisturizing Body Spray | Pumpkin Carrot Struesel
Pumpkin Cake meets Carrot Cake
Bonus samples were a little Blueberry Brulee soap and a sample tub of hand scrub. If Pure of Heart is a CYS scent(in the hand scrub), it’s freaking fantastic. Not foodie at all and I love it.
Who else purchased and what do you think of the products/scents?
I couldn’t resist and placed an order too. Here’s what I got. BTW, I love how long they last, nearly all day!
These are all roll-ons w/ sweet almond oil (these are the website descriptions - my comments are in red):
Baked Vanilla (CYS Exclusive) – I make this scent kind of by accident! I was blending different vanillas together and fell in love with this scent. It smells like the best vanilla you’ve ever sniffed, with a bakery edge
A lady at my church said “I swear I can smell caramel rolls or something! I wonder where they’re at.” Haha! I didn’t let on that it was me!
Coral Sugar - (CYS Exclusive) - Blend of Blood Orange and Pink Sugar. This smells amazing!
Just the right amount of citrus and sweet combined together. Not too much of either one. Yum!
Enduring Hope (CYS Exclusive) - Vanilla Bean Noel blended with a hint of Cinnamon
Mostly cinnamon. In fact, I can’t even smell the vanilla. Rather, I think the vanilla tones down the cinnamon so that it’s not so strong. Very nice for a perfume! Inkling, this one smells like Red Hots too, but maybe after they’ve been sucked on for a while. LOL!
Pumpkin Lavender Vanilla (CYS Exclusive) - Interesting, sophisticated Pumpkin!
Interesting is the right word for it. Very unique. A nice “harvest/fall-spice” kind of smell. A little bit of this one goes a long way.
Chocolovers (Aquaolina type) - Chocolate blended with citrusy fusion of orange, lemon, bergamot, and mandarin, with vanilla and hazelnut
This doesn’t smell like chocolate to me but more of a sweet candy kind of scent. It reminds me of a lip gloss that my mom used to let me buy when I was little. It was clear, smelled like sweet candy, and came in a roll-on too. I’m constantly catching myself about to roll this one across my lips I’m guessing it wouldn’t taste as good as that lip gloss did waaayyy back then This is probably my favorite, maybe because of the nastalgia, IDK!
Still I Rise (CYS Exclusive) - Musky floral blended with rich amber and wood notes. Incredibly sexy…for the confident woman!
OK, I thought I would step out of the box (my sugary sweet scented perfume box, that is ) and try something different. Well, I tried it and this one is just not me. I think the amber is a little to dark for this sweet-scented gal! So…I’m giving it to Butterfly. She was the first to PM me regarding my offer in the lounge to send it to someone who might like to try it. I hope she likes it!
I, too, got a free gift of scented soap, Raspberry cream, or something like that and a sample of Sugar-scented hand scrub. Very nice products and service! I’ll be ordering from her again!
