Cookies & Cream

Okay I always write way too much so here's my last draft to simplify my review: Perf 10/10 for me. Ohhh she's my babyyyyy I'll repurchase her forever and ever until she gets discontinued and then I will throw rocks at your windows Tubbees until you start selling it again. Makes my skin smell like sugar creamed butter (if you bake ykwim... softened butter and sugar with the air beaten into it until it's soft and fluffy), and makes my clothes smell like cookies and cream ice cream with the cocoa cookie chunks and crumbs. I love it as a slightly sweet and buttery skin scent because it's so damn wearable while still smelling cute and yumsy. Wearable because it's more subtle than just smelling like cookies; and it's also not cloying at all, it has a lightness to it like the air really has been whipped into it. (I have to worry about wearability because I live in a hot humid climate and I take public transport and generally have to be demure, so this is kinda my own personal plus. No hate to anyone who wears pure gourmands I WISH I WAS YOU) The opening and general smell is a bit synthetic but imo in a good way, and the buttery (but honestly subtle) playdoh smell in the opening fades as it settles. I like the smell of playdoh so it's not even like a negative for me. And guys I beg you if you don't like it please let it develop. For me it smelled oily artificial metal etc. etc. fresh out the box. I sprayed it a couple times and just let it sit totally untouched to oxidize and develop, and my bottle took only like 3 days to soften and turn delish. P.S. There's crazy longevity on clothes, especially if they're left indoors... Spray it on the inside of the collar of your pajamas/home clothes and thank me later. Coming home after a long day and getting an unexpected whiff of cookies and cream ice cream when I'm pulling on my home shirt........... this frag always pleasantly surprises me. Even makes me smile when I spray it sometimes bro.

Starts off very buttery, shortbread/cookie, with a hint of chocolate, tiny hint. As dry down begins the buttery-ness fades away, and out comes the creaminess/milkyness comes out. It's really really cleverly done in my opinion. It's straight up butter cookies and then cream. I definitely get the cookie crisp and milk vibe, aswell as a butter cookie dipped in full fat milk. Delicious. I blind bought it and got multiple bottles cause I knew I would love it, and I wasn't wrong. It's kind of reminiscent of choco musk in the late dry down, as it gives very milk after a bowl of cereal vibes, which that fragrance is the whole way through start to finish. This is only that at the very end of the scent but more buttery. Although the buttery-ness is mostly gone in far dry down, it's still slightly perceivable in comparison to choco musk which is just straight chocolate cereal and milk. Anyway, I love this. It scratches the cookie itch that I was looking for, although I actually want more cookie scents, and will try cookie bite by golf orchid soon. Longevity is really really good out of the box. It lasts all day on me easily. I just go noseblind to it sometimes so it's much less perceivable to me than others. Projection is mid to strong, leaning more towards mid at the moment. This is pre maturation keep in mind. I can imagine it will become slightly more potent after a month or so. Ignore people hating on this line lmao, this stuff really leaves a big pool of oil on your skin and it definitely does last. I dont get any sourness or anything nasty from it either. Delicious.

I love this perfume so so much!! After trying the strawberry cheesecake Tubbees and loving it, I had to pick this one up too and oh my god it did not disappoint!! 🍪🥛 This is such a gorgeous, hyper-realistic cookies and milk type of scent. It genuinely smells like Oreo cookies with a cold glass of milk on the side. It’s super sweet, very edible, and fully in that rich gourmand territory!! 💕 The opening is slightly alcoholic for the first few minutes and it does leave a bit of an oily residue, so it can show up on clothing. But once it settles, that quickly goes away and you’re left with the most delicious chocolatey cookie scent🍪 As it develops, I find the chocolate notes slowly soften and it becomes more milky, buttery, and really lactonic. That’s actually my favourite part of the fragrance. It feels like you’re experiencing it in stages, starting with sweet chocolate cookies and then moving into that creamy milkiness afterwards🥛💕 I’ve been wearing this non stop for about a week now and I’m honestly obsessed. On my skin it lasts around 7 hours, which for the price is amazing!! I would definitely recommend this to intense gourmand lovers because it is very sweet and very food-like. If you’re not into smelling like desserts, this might be a bit too much. But if you are, it’s such a fun and comforting scent and I’m so happy I added it to my collection!! 💖🍪💕🥛

This is my favorite from the entire Tubbees line, and I cannot contain my excitement when talking about these perfumes!!! I want to eat my own hand when this is on it, I spray this on my skin and become cannibalistic. It’s just that good! Here’s how I can best describe the scent in my own words: It smells like the leftover milk after you've finished a bowl of cereal. It's the taste of it in a smell if that makes sense. I know this has a dark chocolate note in it but it’s not too overwhelmingly chocolatey, it’s more so the way milk chocolate smells. Realistically, we know milk chocolate doesn’t have a very strong scent, but if you put it up to your nose, it has a soft, subtle aroma and that’s kinda how this is. Also, imagine the lingering taste in your mouth after eating chocolate chip cookies with milk or milk chocolate by itself. The vanilla is so creamy, pleasant, and dessert-like. It almost has a nostalgic quality to it. It’s hard to describe, but it’s just cute and delicious. I love it so very much ♡

Pure dusty oreos in the opening (i mean dusty in a good way lol, like crumbly biscuits), and then in the drydown, imagine an oreo cookie with a thin slice of butter ontop and a cube of marzipan ontop of the butter. I wouldn't say it's creamy, but it has something oily about it, kind of like when you touch a cookie and have some oily residue left on your fingers, you know? I can't see myself wearing this in a formal setting - I'd be too self conscious that everyone would think I just ate a whole pack of oreos and didn't wash my hands or something lol. But it's one of my favourites to wear to the grocery store, or when I'm out with friends in a casual setting. It's synthetic/artificial in the same way that oreos and other processed sweet junk food smells synthetic/artificial to me, so it's actually very realistic haha I love this, it's a lot better than I expected it to be, and it lasts the whole day on clothes!
