Alright I’m going home for the weekend, and I just picked up my DHL package (the bubblewrap was wet and I freaked out thinking it leaked, must have been the Instant Shine they sprayed on there ) I unscrewed mx282 to sniff (the others are unsniffed, didn’t want to get attached to one) and I smelled the coconut, not a coconut impersonation, but true the coconut scent (I use coconut oil as a moisturizer). I could also smell the soft scent of vanilla that gave it more depth. I would have sprayed some on but I already have on mx135, and didn’t want to give my roommate a headache.
I’ll test this out over the weekend and post my results!
Got mine two, I must say I have never been a big fan or coconut but for the sake of testing I will gag and give it a go. I am a little disappointed though, I thought these were going to be new scents and this one smells just like the regular coconut they always had. Oh well, hopefully the next scent will be better for me.
I’m surprised you say it is the same Tisha. Give it a go and try it on your skin this one is definitely different. Something interesting blooms from under the coconut I can’t quite put my finger on!
I really don’t like the coconut in the scent menu, to me it is a fake chemical and plastic type of coconut. Like a my little pony dipped in nasty cheap suntan oil that is 4 summers old. LOL
This on the other hand is more realistic and has a depth the custom menu coconut just doesn’t have. If my coconut customized stuff were this I’d have used them up already, instead I avoid them.
I smell the same thing as Karmiel & Ink. And it dries down to a very soft vanilla scent. This isn’t a scent that will last all day, so I covered it with Amour de Cacao (which, contradictorily, doesn’t really smell like like cacao ) this morning. I love that scent. My new favorite! I think I smell like a bakery when I wear it. Guys are always sniffing my cube or in my wake… lots of compliments!! And that’s without MX282 under it.
I agree with you, Inkling - it’s not the same as the old coconut. It’s a little sweeter, fruitier and even a little boozy. It’s a girly cocktail with a pink umbrella in it.
LOL No I can down those as long as I hold my breath when I do it LOL
I have had a problem with coconut ever since I was pregnant with my second son. The smell would make me so sick and it has stayed with me since then.
My first son I would get sick everytime I smelled diesal fuel and that still bothers me as well.
I am still testing though, Yes My name is Tisha and I am a addict (snort) It blends well with foody scents so I am good there. It does seem cloying to me. On dry down I cant place the extra smell, sometimes its smells like vanilla which never meshed well with my chemistry. I will tweak the scent and I am sure it will be fine for me.
This is not to say the mix is bad in anyway. Every scent dosnt fit every person. We all have our preferences. I am sure to those who love the smell of vanilla and coconut its drys down to lovely perfection.
I wore three sprays of mx282, one split between wrists, one to left side of my neck, and one to right side on my hair (I always miss with these tiny bottles).
My girlfriend wanted me to go with her to visit a guy she had just met recently, and I’d be hanging out with my TG (who happens to be a friend of his). He commented on the scent as soon as he hugged me. Whenever I looked at him from wherever I was standing, he’d already be looking at me or turning to do so, and making a move at every turn (I get up to go to the kitchen, and there he was following right behind me ). He was so talkative around me, almost giddy it seemed like when he talked.
The makeout sessions were extremely intense and long, he’d nearly squeeze the breath out of me, my chin was actually chafing from his stubble for kissing him so long, and he gave me a hickey for the first time (gonna have to wear my hair down in front of my aunt). There was lots of cuddling and him asking for kisses, he’s usually this way, so I don’t know if the mx282 had anything to do with making him more cuddly.
Mx282 has been great for one on one encounters for me, but as far as strangers I meet, I haven’t really noticed any particular changes in behavior. I’m gonna try this out some, the scent is just so delicious!!
Hah! I’m pretty sure he had some bulging going on from what I saw, but I didn’t want to call him out in front of everyone, but it was made obvious as soon as the smooching started
Alright, I’ve been trying out mx282 for the past few days, and in non-intimate situations it seems to be a pretty good attention getter. I’ve noticed a lot of chattiness and get compliments from complete strangers (more than usual). I’d say it’s a great ice-breaker, seems to make me people more comfortable, kind of draws them. I absolutely love the scent, and have gotten so many compliments on it, can’t wait til I can add it to other stuff!
That’s all I can really say about this mix, I’m almost out of it, so I’m gonna move on to the other mixes.
