Okay, so! Since you have similar hair to me, I'm guessing, you should probably know that Okra did pretty much nothing for me. It helped in general moisturizing, but didn't really make my hair any more manageable. In fact, I had major split ends by the end of my bottle. I've never tried Coolaulin, but I've always wanted to. Might have to put in an order soon.
Sonic Death Monkey is amazing and has been the love of my shower gel life. So chocolatey and good.
Adding to the Okra thing, but from another perspective.
My hair is straight-ish and not frizzy or dry/damaged. Okra does wonders on my hair without leaving any filmy residue behind, when most products for dry hair do. Since it works so well on my fairly normal hair... I'd be surprised if it did much for dry hair.
My mom, who has serious frizz and curl problems liked Okra alright, but she seems to much prefer the Retread that I gave her after it turned my hair into a greasy mess.
YMMV, but neither of us found it to be as useful for damaged hair as was advertised.
I've used coolaulin in the past. My hair, when I don't put product in it resembles young Hermione's hair. All big and frizzy. I found that coolaulin gave me more defined waves. I often combined it with trich, or curly wurly. Right now I'm going through a huge bottle of Cynthia, but I'm wondering if the lemon in it isn't drying me out a bit...
I'm also trying out Retread but it's not really easy to wash out.
P.S. I adore your icon. I loves me some Drifloon and Drifblim
Potion is awesome, but not at all fruity. It's spicy and I guess floral, but floral in a green, fresh way that appeals to people who don't like traditional florals (like me). Carnation is awesome like that. If you want fruity, Skin Sin is probably a better bet, though personally I prefer Potion of the two.
Oh also, Sonic Death Monkey smells like cigarettes to some people. Seems a bit hit or miss as to who picks up on that note, but some definitely do. I did and never really liked it as a result.
your description of potion sounds completely delicious. I don't care much for traditional florals (rose, jasmine, etc) so this might be the winner. I'm not really feeling fruity scents right now, because it's so damn cold and I prefer fruity/citrus smells in the summer and spicy/sweet in the winter. I'm not sure why. I like woodsy smells all the time though. I wish they'd make a sandalwood/lemongrass body lotion. Something like if Avobath had a baby with Floating Island.
I haven't tried Okra but I love Coolaulin. It didn't seem extra moisturising to me but it did help to define my curls.
I've smelled potion and found it isn't dry fruity to me.
I have had a hit and a miss with SDM. The first few times I smelled it I only got cigarettes. Why would I buy something that smelled like cigarettes? I shook the bottle until my arm ached, and do that every time I use it and then I get lime and chocolate. Much better. I've not had the chance to smell 13 rabbits.
Good luck! Maybe ask for a sample of the one you don't choose?
I've used coolaulin in the past, but it's been several years and my hair has gotten much longer since so I wasn't sure if it would help with my dead ends and frizzies.
I also remember smelling SDM in stores and finding it odd but, again, that was a long time ago and I never bought it. I'm wondering if I smelled cigarettes too...
Might not be much help but Creme Anglaise smells weird the next day. Maybe it's just on my skin or maybe it's getting old. It was so expensive, though.
that's good to know. I showered the day I tried it in-store so I don't know what it would have smelled like on my skin. Even though I'm an employee, I'm also a student and I can't justify the price with or without discount. If I was working full-time I'd probably buy it haha
I just remember waking up and thinking "what's that smell? is there a cat butt in my face? oh.." it could just be my body chemistry tho =/ but yea still too expensive to justify even trying to like it.
