BPAL description: This scent is of cheesecake and cupcakes, more in line with it's cheekier connotations, and really hasn't a damn thing to do with Luna at all!
In the bottle: Colourless oil. Sweet and foody; it really smells exactly like it says. I get a bit more cupcake than cheesecake, heavy on the frosting. Yum!
Wet: It's not too sweet or buttery as foody stuff often is. There's almost a hint of spice underlying it, and maybe some grain or nut, like carrot cake.
Dry: The spice note is more prominent. Clove, I think, which I tend to amp. It does add an interesting dimension but not one I personally like.
Later: I don't really find this very creamy, despite the frosting. It's rich, but I don't get butter or cream, only a creamy vanilla that amps over time.
Summary: This starts out as deliciously tangy cream cheese frosted cupcakes and steadily morphs into mostly clove and too-sweet vanilla, with only a hint of of that delicious beginning.
SIGH. Thankfully it's low in throw and longevity.
