Ecto-1

1. As soon as I put this on, I smell EXACTLY like Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup. This “chocolate syrup” note was pretty much all I could smell for the first 10 minutes. Then the tiniest bit of graham cracker shows up to the party. Unfortunately I never get any of the marshmallow or smoked vanilla. I’m sad that Hex’s marshmallow note doesn’t seem to show up on my skin. Stupid skin chemistry! One of the only scents where the marshmallow showed up was Hestia (marshmallow and clove). Back to Ecto-1…on me this ends up smelling like I doused myself in chocolate syrup and rolled around in some graham cracker crumbs. It stays this way until it fades out about 4 to 5 hours later. Lol, this is realistic enough to make me hungry. This would probably have smelled incredible (um hello s’mores) had all of the notes developed on me.

2. I got this one as a freebie half dram. On first smell, I get almost ALL graham cracker. There’s a teensy bit of chocolate and a dollop of the now-familiar soft marshmallow note. I’m not really into it, which is surprising because it was at the top of my foodie list for Hex. I figured the three aspects would be balanced and playing together to smell like an authentic, rich, fresh, ooey-gooey s’more. I should be drooling and nostalgic and wanting to eat myself… This is more like someone found a Food Network recipe for graham crackers and decided to be fancy and make their own. I literally have no reference for how a graham cracker smells when it’s baking, but I imagine this is it. I thought it would be a neat, unique note to have in my foodie collection… but now I don’t think I want to smell like a graham cracker at all, even a gourmet one. As it wears, I start getting more of a “s’more interpreted as a cookie” vibe. It smells like a super-sugary, rich chocolate chip cookie with mini marshmallows baked into it now. It’s getting better as it fades out. Still, not full-size worthy for me. I wonder if the addition of a tiny bit of the smoke/ bonfire from All Soul’s Night would have improved this… come to think of it, that would probably make a killer layering venture. I’m gonna use it up with one of my bonfire perfumes underneath. Regardless, I’m thankful I got a sample. It’s okay, but there are better foodie options.
