Almond Blossom & Oat Milk Comfort

First blast is a coconut note that zips through an image of Hypnotic Poison edt like a kinetoscopic film. Almond blossom? I never got my snout on the real thing so can't comment on the verisimilitude there, but in this soft gourmand context it does remind of the same thing we're told as "silkwood blossom" in This Is Her. In the dry down (which is approximately 2 minutes post application) this Victoria's Secret offering settled into a powdery, comforting vanillic haze, think: Montale's Vanille Absolu at around one quarter of the strength. All in all, this mist is a lot of cliches tied into a neat little bunch—you can't help but sniff and smile. I'm glad the full bottle bottle I bought on impulse was this one and not the other three I got a decant of: Jasmine & Elderberry, Lavender Vanilla, Rose Coconut,... All 3 smell like variations of shopping mall shampoos I've used in the past.

This body mist is an olfactory experience. It starts off alcoholic (typical for VS sprays), almost masculine, but it dissipates after 1-2 minutes. Then I smell straight up coconut combined with beach sand. Yes, you read that right, sand. I swear I saw my childhood self at the beach laying on the sand watching the waves after mom applied sunscreen on me. And then after 30 minutes I could smell vanilla almond cookies sprinkled with coconut flakes and dipped in oat milk. Great scent overall, just wished it lasted longer. For the people who are longing to have this mist again, try searching on Vinted (that's where I found it after manic searching for almond scents).

I’ve been wearing this in the mornings instead of perfume because I’ve run out of my lighter, ‘day’ fragrances, and the ones I have right now feel too intense for the mornings. It smells so creamy and coconutty, though I’m not sure why. Others have told me the same, they say I smell like a coconut, but not exactly. It’s hard to explain. It’s not very sweet, even though I’d classify it as a gourmand fragrance. It reminds me a bit of a Petit Beurre, but with a hint of freshness/savoriness. I love it. Plus, it has decent sillage and longevity for a mist, and it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser.

Perfection in a bottle. Warm and so cozy. Sweet and comfortable. Feels like the best warm hug and just the right sweetness. VS fragrances are very sweet so It shouldnt be a surprise. It will not give u headache no matter how much u spray it. Its perfect when you feel lil bit lazy, fresh after shower, before bed or just when u want to feel like a soft little teddy bear. I adore this scent with my whole heart. It doesnt last long, which is a lil bit sad but the fragrance is so good that I would still give it 10/10.

This is my signature scent and I really don't know why that it got discontinued. By far one of the best by VS, TOP 5. AND IT HAD ITS OWN BODY SCRUB! This is a whole bottle of milky sweetness deepened by almond. I would layer it with Zara Red Temptation and create a lighter dupe of Xerjoff Italica. If you never had it get yourself a bottle before it is gone forever. It got out of stock before i got the chance to stock. All i am left with is a half empty bottle. Well, better put it in good use i guess.
