Review (5/5): She didn't come to play with y'all
This is one of the Gourmand holy Grails. One of BBW legends that shook the internet. Never have I ever ran into a bbw product this on POINT with its name.
The body cream moisturizer is about average. Nothing special. However the scent, the scent is what gives her the popularity. Besides the fact that the price on here is too expensive. This stuff smells exactly. I mean exactly like a jelly donut.
Pair this with the body spray. And you will be shook. The body spray was good and I thought I love that. But the body cream though.. I wish I got it when it was still at bath & body works. It brings this line to a whole new level. When you use this body cream with the spray. And especially when this stuff settles on you. It might not be the faint of heart and some people might find it a bit overwhelming. But you smell deep fried,sugary, and jellish. Now if you're not going to like that just skip over the product.
If you are the type of person who is sensitive over certain scents during a certain time of the year. I would recommend maybe backing off of it during the hot summer. Though I wouldn't personally. This scent feeds off of heat too well. I was standing over some hot steam, and when I tell you, the smell of a deep fried jelly donut just exploded in my face as if I was BAKING DONUTS,no, like I said before, they smell more like fried donuts. So yes it does have a gourmand greasy note in my opinion. But that's the charm for me and I don't want it to changed. Except it was me. It put me in a real state of bliss. Left me like "IM REALLY OUT HERE SMELLING EXACTLY LIKE A DONUT". I was just all too happy. As with somebody who is borderline obsessed with gourmand foodie scents.
I had been dying for a authentic donut scent. But I couldn't find hardly any donut based scents. Or any pastry scent for that matter. Everything was cake or cookie or candy. And when I did. They did not smell like a donut.
I would not have guessed that bath & body works would be the literal first people to do this task and do it THIS PERFECT.
Also, if you want to be authentically smelling like a deep fried jelly donut. And you want the best of this line for your scent. I would suggest to stick with the body cream and body mist combo. Do not get the body lotion. The body lotion for some reason seems to be missing the donut part. And it's just raspberry, a sort of candy raspberry. Unless that is what you would prefer. But as for me, the donut aspect is what is the foundation of this product's charm.
The warm fluffy donut, the powdered sugar, and the raspberry jam. All are evenly distributed in my nose. Equally when it comes to the other products. It's just the donut aspect comes off as the foundation. Which is perfect.
