IoE holiday scents, part 2

I placed another IoE order in December and was happy to see my order arrive within a month, so Alexa's TAT has really improved.

Butterscotch Eggnog - So disappointed, as this is totally scrumptious in both a dream cream and perfume. Alas it went funny on my skin. It's definitely heavier on the butterscotch than the eggnog, which is fine by me.

Key Lime Baby - From what I remember when I smelled it on cold sniff, this is a great lime. It's got a touch of sweetness to it that isn't cloying - sort of smells like lime candy. Unfortunately it seems to have vanished into the black hole that is my closet. I guess with all the various e-tailer products I have lying around it got lost in the shuffle...hopefully I'll find it soon and see if it works on me.

Peppermint Bark - I got this in a roll-on. This is yummy but not so much on my skin. It's heavy on the chocolate and very sweet.

Raspberry Kisses - Note to self: never order anything from IoE with a raspberry note in it ever again. The chocolate was fine but the raspberry was really artificial and gross. I got this in a body mist but I doubt it would make a difference in another formula.

Sunny Mango'ed Coconut Bliss- This is great! The mango actually smells pretty true and it's mixed with a hint of coconut. Really delicious. I can't wait to wear this in the summer. Too bad it was LE and I only have the body mist...I'd love to get my hands on a moisturizer!

I also got a couple backups of my favorite IoE scent, the Green Coconut. I was so pleased to see Alexa bring it back to the scent list for a little while.
