CH order

Ack, I need to update more! Okay, I ordered a while ago from CH. Turnaround time was superfast again. Unfortunately none of the scents I ordered really worked for me. :( I got all of these in the body butter.

California Navel Orange - So nice in the container, true juicy orange and air freshener on me. Grrr.

Frozen Pineapple Cosmopolitan - To me this smelled exactly like Poipu Beach, only muted. Very strange.

Mango Lime Party Punch - Smelled very close to Seafoam Slushie, but maybe with a tad more lime and less creamy. It's a nice fruity scent but not really what I was looking for.

Peach Frost Mimosa - This was a great scent - true peach with some sweet fruitiness thrown in, not candy or creamy. Unfortunately it turned cloyingly sweet on me.

Raspberry Sherbert - Again, very nice in the container but awful on me. I wanted a nice tart raspberry. This is a creamy raspberry and smells tart enough for me in the jar, but once on it turned way too sweet.

White Grapefruit - Very true grapefruit, but almost too sharp for my nose. I definitely liked it better than Wai Nui grapefruit and Pink Grapefruit - this is the truest of those three. Still there was something a bit off about it and it only got worse with my chemistry.

I got some very generous samples in this order too:

Island Tiki Umbrella Drink - Darnit, why does everything smell like Seafoam Slushie to me? LOL. Not really a very unusual scent, just kind of generic fruit. It was somewhat lime-y in the vial but on me turned sweet.

Lemon Sponge Sherbert Roll - Great foody lemon scent. Since I'm not into those types of scents I wouldn't get it, but definitely check it out if you like them.

Pink Raspberry Fizzy Pop - Artificial and overly sweet to my nose. I couldn't smell any raspberry at all.

Pink Tangelo Rock Candy - This is actually quite nice and I normally hate pink sugar scents. It was lovely in the jar, fresh and sweet at the same time. But on me it was like rancid candy. Sigh.

Strawberry Pucker Mousse Cake - A little too sweet for me but good if you like a very sweet cake with just the tiniest hint of strawberry.

I also received a sample of Cranberry Pineapple Spritzer. I don't even know what it smelled like since I couldn't smell either the cranberry or the pineapple. Just generic. Oh well. I have another order on the way so we'll see if those scents are any better!
