Ponche

Love this one!!!! It's so hard to describe because I don't really know what buchu, petigrain, or artemisia smell like (thus I am not voting on the notes just yet) but this is what it smells like to me: Kind of like Calacas/Day of the Dead, with that citrusy, fruity feel. There is a slight hint of something which reminded me of the neroli that Calacas has, so maybe that's the artemisia or petitgrain. I believe buchu has a black currant smell (from what I've read), so I think that's kinda mixed in with the other fruity notes. There is definitely some booze in there too. LUSH describes it as a tequila drink, and you can tell it's a little drunk! I also get spices, like the kind you find in mulled wine. I'm not sure what that comes from. I feel like this note list is incomplete though. Well I LOVE the scent, and it's so yummy. A little sweet, a little spicy, and a little boozy. I can actually see wearing this in summer, to be honest, since it's got a freshness to it. So glad I got this.

I did a review on youtube for those interested. I had the shower gel last year in a christms giftset and it immediately became my favourite and I wanted so bad for it to be in fragrance form. When I saw this being advertised on facebook I literally got it the day after it came out...slightly worried that the delicious scent from the shower gel wouldn't translate into a perfume. Luckily it did rather well and true to the original scent. Very loud and tropical, but without the strong pineapple smell usually associated with tropical beachy fragrances. This is like a sunny cocktail and really brings to mind the party atmosphere. Boozy and heavy this is perfect for clubbing or general parties. I am very glad I purchased this but hope they come out with it every year as I can see my 30ml dissapearing very quickly!!!

I find this very similar to the soap but not exact. The perfume is a much more tropical scent with a very subtle alcoholic smell. A bit similar to a toned down Hawaiian punch drink.

Hohoho..wait a minute! What an addictive scent is in the bottle! Soo delicious with a strong sillage. Perfect for happy summer. I love it!

Ponche is basically like very boozy fruit punch. It's nice, I like it, but I did eventually sell my bottle because I didn't find it had much depth. It's OK, but I prefer the shower gel to the fragrance.
