Cinnamon Milk - BoondockG


Details:
Cinnamon Milk
BoondockG

Notes:
Dry cinnamon bark swirled in warm milk and cream ~ drops of sugarcane and toffee ~ cocooned in vanilla pods, benzoin and sandalwood. Made with skin-safe cinnamon fragrance….enjoy the flame without the burn.

I feel bad because I'm about to shade this perfume and this is the first time I've ever mentioned this shop. I have a couple of others that I quite like, but this just happens to be the one that I pulled out for testing.

In the vial, this smells oaty - like dry porridge oats, but not the supermarket kind. The kind that you get in big buckets at the market. Not an unpleasant smell, but not really what I'd want to smell like. Once applied, it smells like a cheap plastic doll. The cinnamon note is there too and smells fake - like the kind you get in chewing gum. The dry down is killer - it smells like baby vomit. I'm not exaggerating. I asked Noodles what she thought of it, and she reeled back, screwed her face up and said, "Ew, baby spew!"

1/5 I'm sorry to say that I just hated this.

Day 14!

    1. It sounded like exactly my kind of thing. It just seems very synthetic.

    1. Haha, now I feel bad because I don't want everyone to think I'm trying to dissuade them from trying it. I think things react differently on different people. I'm generally fairly good at picking out scents I will like and it's pretty rare that I out-and-out hate something, but this one was not at all what I expected. :-/

  3. Oh no! This would remind me of my son's reflux days! Stomach churn O_0
    Soaps and body prods look good in that shop though!

    1. Yes, Noodles was a chucker as a baby - I spent the first year of her life smelling like baby sick, so it's burned into my brain, and definitely not something I'd want to smell like voluntarily!

  4. Oh my...that's not what I would have thought from the description. Scary! Ah yes...the skin safe cinnamon is always synthetic too.
