The Exact Friction of Stars

I actually had to try this several times. At first I was unsure of what to think - I did pick up on the coconut first but it wasn't something that I thought I would purchase. The longer it was on my skin - the more addicted I became. A few more tries and I began to notice other notes emerging. First the coconut moving into chocolate marshmallow caramel vanilla goodness...but with something extra and I just cannot figure it out - is it the orange or something else. It has a boozy appeal to it (in a good way). I tried the matching lotion and it is a lighter (in scent) rendition and somewhat creamier (as opposed to boozy). The lotion makes my skin very soft. I would not expect it to make the perfume last longer though as the scent is very light in the lotion but while it is on I do enjoy it (especially before bed). The perfume lasts a decent amount of time...but not as long as others have mentioned that it lasts on them. (unless I am just numb to it since I am wearing it a lot). I would love to try the oil. (I MUST like this a lot since I seem to have written a book about it!) giggle

This scent actually hit something very personal for me, and I will get to that in a bit. Out of the vial I smell citrus (like it's been cooked), vanilla and creamy coconut. At first on the skin I smell that baked citrus mixed with a creamy coconut and a bit of spice and almost earthiness...maybe the coffee and chocolate. After the citrus starts to blend in more I mostly smell coconut and a waxiness, like crayons and a bit of pencil lead and shavings.....BUT not in a bad way. Here is where it gets personal for me. I love to draw (not with crayons, but definitely love pencil sketches) and this scent REALLY calms me. I am reminded of fall and baked creamy, spicy, citrusy goodness mixed with art materials. I know that it is a weird combination, but I really love it. So incredibly soothing. I will one day purchase this and I will regularly enjoy the calm that it brings me. It's so strange, but so familiar and good.

This starts out as a DEAD-ON creme brulee scent. Right down to the egg, milk, and fire-melted sugar. It is simply incredible. It stays like that for a few hours, but then, it quiets down to a true vanilla. It isn't the cotton candy, syrup-y sweet vanilla like Outremer Vanille, and it lacks the strong chocolate and orchid notes of Vaniglia del Madagascar by Profumi di Firenze. Several hours ago I decided I really didn't like to smell like creme brulee. But now, after sniffing my wrist again, I may have to set down the money because the outcome is honestly a really genuine vanilla, as in grabbing-the-crystal-covered-bean-itself kind of genuine. And with a name like "the exact friction of stars" - who can say no!

I recently got a sample of Exact Friction of Stars to try after wanting it for years based on positive reports. I get an impression of coconut and almond cookie, with chocolate coming in later on, that's very cozy and girlie, perfect for college casual, or at home casual wear. Delicious!

Delicious chocolate coconut vanilla perfume. I want to eat it!!! I had the oil and it was very long-lasting. Very warm scent but suits all seasons. IMO suits a young spirit as dessert smelling perfumes don't tend to suit over 25's!
