Testing another sample
Another sample from my Macy's box. I had high hopes for this one based on the notes. It could be great, there's something in it I like. But to my nose, there is also a sort of powdery latex glove or something? It is a fairly light and airy solar vanilla, and i do love the powder *texture* but the powder itself just smells a little weird to me! Unfortunately the coumarin is coming through just enough that I don't notice the scent much but I'm still having a mild reaction to it so I will probably have to wash it off soon.
Overall, I recommend testing it if light, airy, solar vanilla with a touch of powder sounds like your thing, but I can't say it's a great blind buy just in case the latex isn't just a super weird quirk of my nose.
Edit: my husband really likes it and describes it as a light, almost spicy vanilla. He doesn't get the latex glove thing!
