My Latest CH order!

I got my Coconut Hut order the other day! Took me a little while to try everything.

Creamy Eggnog: This was very nice but unfortunately all spice on me. In the container it smelled very true, although slightly less creamy than Philosophy's Eggnog 3 in 1.

Enchanted Pumpkin: Lena included a sample vial roll-on perfume in this. It was a true pumpkin scent on me, a little too...real? It was basically like sniffing the innards of a pumpkin when you're carving it. I prefer pumpkin scents that are tempered with vanilla or something sweet, not a straight pumpkin scent, so I didn't like this too much.

Frosted Cinnamon Buns: I loved this in the container, but it had a weird sour spicy drydown on me. If you like Cinnamon Buns scents though, this one is great. On cold sniff I could actually smell the pastry and icing, not just the cinnamon.

Fuji Apple: I didn't even bother to try this on since I didn't even like it on cold sniff. It was an off sour apple smell. Think BBW Country Apple gone bad.

Jack O'Lantern Cupcake: Still debating this. I got a sample perfume vial and tried it on and I think I like it, but I'm not sure how it would work in other forms. I liked it way more than other pumpkin scents I've tried though, it wasn't too spicy on me (finally!) Definitely a sweet pumpkin pie scent, so I may order a sample souffle in my next order.

Margarita Lime Frost: Definitely a winner for me, although I only got it in the wash. It's a really nice fresh lime scent, not too tart. I'll be getting this in a scrub and souffle.

Orange Squeeze: This didn't smell very orangey to me at all, just a weird synthetic fruit smell. The drydown was even more candy-ish on me. I was hoping this would smell like C.O. Bigelow's Oily Skin Tonic, which smells just like a fresh glass of orange grapefruit juice, but this wasn't it.

Prickly Pear Margarita: This was a lot fruitier than I thought it would be, not as tart as I was expecting. Very nice fresh fruit scent. Too bad it turned perfumey on me.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting: Very true to its name, an equal blend of pumpkin pie and cream cheese frosting. On me though it just spelled spicy, as I'm discovering almost all pumpkin scents do.

Pumpkin Orange Mousse: This was great in the container, pumpkin pie crossed with a hint of orange. On me though it was a really bad spicy orange, not at all what it was like on cold sniff. If you like pumpkin pie scents though and are looking for something unique, try this.

Tahitian Dessert Vanilla: Lena included a sample vial of this in a perfume roll-on. Definitely a nice warm vanilla, very close to vanilla extract but didn't have that sort of alcohol-y note.

Tahitian Limeade: I tried this in the souffle. On cold sniff it reminded me of a sharper, fresher, more tart version of Sea Foam Slushie. On me though, it was identical to Sea Foam Slushie, which was not good on me.

Tropical Fruit Slices: I was hoping for a fresh fruit scent but I found this to be very artificial, like fruit gum or candy. It's a very light scent but still managed to be cloying on me.

Vanilla Frosting: I didn't try this one because vanilla scents never agree with me, but in the container it was amazing. It was truly like opening a can of vanilla frosting. If you like vanilla definitely try this.

I think that's everything...I'm already plotting another order though!
