haus of gloi lassi


Cool, fresh mango cream, Tunisian orange blossom absolute, black ginger to ground, splash of green tea and a soft squeeze of lime juice.

In the imp, Lassi smells like gummy bears. If I tried to parse it I'd say it's lime and orange blossom, but honestly? I can't smell anything but gummy bears. So many gummy bears. On skin it's still pretty much gummy bears - sweet and tart, very fruity, mostly orange and lime. It's a very Pixie Stix orange, powdery and slightly sour. (Literally all of my points of reference for this scents are candies.) I feel like I should be smelling more mango, and maybe it's the tartness that's making me think orange, but yeah - orange.

As it dries the tartness fades a bit and I get a little of the mango cream, but this never really comes across as creamy, if that makes sense. It pretty much just always smells like gummy bears.

 I THINK YOU MEAN YUMMY BEARS.

Would I buy it again? Maybe? Probably not as a perfume oil though. I like Lassi, because I like the way gummy bears smell (and taste, when I can find vegan ones). (Also because bears are my favorite animal.) But I think it's better suited to a pumpkin butter (which I have and which also smells like gummy bears, just slightly creamier) or a whipped soap, even for sugar-loving me.

    1. Nope! This is definitely not going in with your samples.
