Blossom Jam Tea Cakes

Beautiful, stunning, edible, gorgeous! As a gourmand lover I am pretty over the moon about this perfume. It ticks all of my boxes for sure! I can definitely smell the delicate and fluffy yellow and white cake, the fondant, the fruit preserves, the inference of lavender tea and palmarosa... I applied my sample liberally this morning and while it's all settled and melded together at this point (9 hours later), it's still going strong. I have Britney Spears Fantasy and, while I've heard that the original version of it was to die for, I feel like Blossom Jam Tea Cakes probably had a similar dry down. The white chocolate feel is still there even if it's not an actual note. Whenever I wear my current Fantasy I'm most definitely going to layer this on top so I can amp it up! I have 11 samples from Solstice Scents and so far I've LOVED the three that I've worn, and have had no longevity problems. At this point, I probably need to buy stock in Solstice Scents!

This is quite a lovely gourmand. I have a small vial of it, having purchased a pretty large variety of different scents to try from Solstice awhile back. Just revisited it today. Definitely one of my favorites from them. It's funny, I just sampled a decant of Lira yesterday, and decided to wear this today, unaware of the comparisons. I LOVED Lira, it's the best thing I've smelled in awhile. This isn't quite on the same level, but they do both have the citrus cake thing going on, frosting and all. Lira has cinnamon and licorice in the mix, if this did I'd be in heaven, but it doesn't. Still yummy. Neither of them seem to be especially long lasting, sadly, but obviously that's a bit more forgivable at the Solstice Scents price point! The orange note can be a little overpowering on me, especially at first. After it settles down for awhile, it mellows a bit.

My favorite fragrance from SS, I have the oil (I believe it comes in an EDP alcohol spray too). It smells just like I imagined it would--like Alice in Wonderland's tea party. I get something like vanilla cake, corn cakes, frosting on everything, berry jam, tea with milk, honey, scones, wild blooms carried on the breeze. It is incredibly good in the summer months, but it would also perk up a boring winter's day. Twenty stars and quite possibly my favorite gourmand of all time.

I have a sample of the EDP for this and I'm really enjoying it. Definitely more sweet than floral, I can pick out the cupcake/frosting notes with the peach/strawberry. Reminds me of a strawberry cupcake with a fruity tea to drink. Good projection and longevity. I think this is full bottle worthy because it stands out to me in regards to other fruity, sweet perfumes.

I’ve recently ordered a bunch of more feminine samples from Solstice Scents. Not really intending on wearing them but I just find their descriptions fascinating and the perfumes are always intriguing and unique. I try to go a little in depth on review but for this I’m just gonna go with.... Smells like Fruity Pebbles cereal had a glam make over. Its really nice.
