Gabby

I think this one would be too sweet for you, judging by what you like. If you are looking for something drier among the Halloween kitties, try Margot or Hayden.

Thank you, Fabienne! <3

Okay.

I'm going to put in a vote now to adopt Gabby as our second, third, fourth, or whatever number we're on, Virtual Store Cat ...

... if only so I can have ready access to her scent ALL THE TIME.

Lovely warm amber (with a slight hint of incense that made me pause for a minute, but it goes away quickly) with sweet creamy sugar. It's wonderfully light, smooth, and cozy. After going through bottles and bottles of Flossing for the past year, this is a nice sort-of-but-not-really similar scent that's wonderfully mature, which I have begun to wear daily to school (I've just finished my first sem of law school) and could just as easily wear in the courtroom with confidence b/c it makes me feel ... older and important.

So ... bottom line is, if we can keep this scent around for like, forever, that would be all sorts of amazing.

This is a super soft, dry amber on me. The milk and the sugar aren't really notes on their own but rather add creaminess to the amber, and there is little to no sweetness. Very calm and comforting, kind of like a warm blanket.

first sniff: mmm...kinda spicy, a little creamy. this reminds me of something. i hate to say it, but it's a little powdery/diapery. but not unpleasant.
applied: mm, getting better. it's like a warm, toasty vanilla. still powdery, and a bit plasticy. i'll let this one sit for a bit. it has potential.
a bit later: okay, i don't want to be gross. when i was a teen and still living at home, a mouse ended up in the vent, and died there. my mom and i used some vanilla-scented stuff to cover the smell, and this reminds me of it. this is only my personal association, and i can tell that gabby is real lovely underneath this not-so-nice review. i will come back to this one!

In Bottle, warrm, sweet, creamy.
Wet, soft, warm, powdery, sweet, creamy.
Dry, warm soft sweet, the powder is now a bit spicy. This is very nice and perfumey and classy.

ETA: I forgot to mention that this lasted over 24 from shower to shower.

Strangely enough, I would have thought it would be too sweet... and yet, I don't know why, some of your reviews told me I had to give it a try. And I don't regret it at all. I'm not a foody perfumes person, but this is too me a very dry chocolate scent. To me it's really powdered cocoa. Once settled, it really melts on the skin and don't smell foody at all. It's not sweet on me, it's just really nice.

You know, I loved Gabby the first time I tried her on. I was just digging back through my Possets and re-sniffing things, and I opened Gabby up again... She often gets left behind as I get distracted with other etailors...

But you know what? Gabby just gets better, and better, every time I try her! Sweet, comforting amber and cream. This is such a delicious scent, and it's got great staying power. If it can comfort me after a bad night at work with very sick patients -- that's saying something!

I LOVE GABBY! I was unsure of her because of the "milk" but I had no reason to fear: Gabby is soft creamy amber, not at all resinous, and baked or toasted sugar crystals! The milk note reminds me of the wonderfully sugary sweet milk left in the bowl from a yummy bad-for-you-but-oh-so-good cavity-inducing cereal, like Frosted Flakes! :bigsmile:

Uh oh, sounds like I missed a kitty I would love. Drats! :Argh:
