Cabanilla

I think I've found my perfect summer gourmand! I got a sample of this included with my Sorce order. This isn't a scent I would think to go for on my own, but I'm SO glad it was introduced to me. The second I smelled this I was taken back to spending summers at the beach house when I was younger. I specifically get a vivid memory of going to beachside restaurants lit up by string lights at night. This smells like a fruity piña colada with extra added vanilla. It screams summer without coming across as straight up sunscreen. As a vanilla lover, it can be hard to find scents that work well during the summer heat without becoming too suffocating. Cabanilla is truly a masterpiece because it manages to be both a yummy gourmand as well as a perfect summer scent for the heat. This was an immediate full bottle purchase for me! Fingers crossed my next Sorce order ships quickly!

To me this smells like a better, summer version of MMM By the Fireplace. I get smoke primarily, salt next, and then maybe the coconut/vanilla last. This smells nothing like sunscreen to me, which is good because I already have the pretty girl sunscreen scent covered with Alien Goddess in my collection. I can see myself wearing this on a night out at the bars after spending a day at the beach. Really nice! ETA: the dryodown sfter a couple hours is less smoky and is mainly that “Sorce scent” base. Still really nice and I’m glad to have it, but wish that smokiness stayed longer! ETA2: I smell zero bonfire now, even with a fresh apply. Idk if my nose changed or the perfume changed. I swear I smelled it so strongly the first several times I wore it! So weird!

My heart dropped when I saw I got this sample as a freebie in my Sorce order. I absolutely ABHOR the smell of sunscreen and I felt sort of bad that they had sent it to me. BUT! This is unbelievably gorgeous. No sunscreen! Just coconut and salty vanilla. Something bright in it too - I think on the website it mentioned Hedione was also included, which definitely tracks to my nose. Incredible scent!!

oooo this is truly the perfect sweet summer scent! i usually prefer vanillas for the colder months, but this is something else. coconutty, sunscreeny, vanilla goodness. i would almost classify this one as a green vanilla? it's super interesting! i think if you like funky fun vanilla's like chole's vanilla planifolia, this one would be right up your ally!

This is such a great hot spring or summer fragrance. It’s got a little bit of coconut, a little bit of a piña colada, a bit of vanilla, a touch of salt, maybe a hint of sunscreen. It’s like a beachy scent but even better because there’s this little bit of a gourmand touch. I love this.
