I had a bad day at work so I stopped by VS after to smell their new stuff. To my surprise they had *all* new releases. I smelled each one briefly, and there’s definitely a few I want to give another try. I took a pic of the VP Brûlée scent notes for those that were curious; I had seen pics of all the other flankers but not the VP prior to going! Here’s what I can remember about each scent: ⬇️

**Brûlée Collection**
*Bare Vanilla* smelled so decadent and creamy on the paper. On my skin it dried down to regular Bare Vanilla. This is another one I’m going to give another try. 
*Pure Seduction* smelled like play-doh to me. 
*Love Spell* also had a fantastic initial scent, but even on the tester paper it dried down to regular Love Spell. Will give another try. 
*Velvet Petals* smelled like regular VP to me, but I’m willing to give it another try because VP flankers are usually my favorite. 

Next is what I’m deeming **the cursive collection** given the cursive font takes over the entire front of the bottle. 
*Dreamy Apple Orchard* was a tart apple, not my fave. 
*Cozy Vanilla Cashmere* smelled like every other vanilla. I think I was going nose blind on the vanillas though because there’s just so many of them! 
*Twilight Amber Berry* was one I’m going to try again! It was a very muted but sweet berry. I’m normally not a fruity person but I liked it. 
Sadly my store did not have Sweet Golden Blooms. 

**The Y2K Leopard Collection** (or whatever its official name is)
*Sultry Petals* was obviously floral, but as someone who LOVES florals, this did not stand out to me. 
*Vanilla Rebel* was another vanilla. Again, probably going nose blind from all the vanillas. 
*Cherry Desire* was SO GOOD. Very rich cherry but not sickeningly so. It reminded me of Sweetheart Cherry from Bath & Body Works without the pistachio note. I loved it but honestly probably won’t get it because I already have Sweetheart Cherry and need to cut back on how many sprays I have. 
*Decadent Plum* was so good on the tester paper, but it did not go with my skin. I’m still gonna give this one another try. 

Now onto PINK’s new collections: 

*Brown Sugar* smelled so good on the tester paper! It reminded me of a pastry that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. On my skin though, just no. You know that terrible smell that lingers when someone has had pancakes for breakfast? That was what this smelled like on my skin. 
*Apple Crisp* was better than the new VS Apple scent. It’s a sweet sugary apple, or at least from what I can remember (there was TOO MUCH for me to smell!!! Not complaining though) 
*Buttery Sugar* smells like a very sweet bread and felt pretty true to the scent on both tester paper and skin. Gonna give this one another try.
*Cinn-A-Drizzle* was a VERY muted cinnamon, but honestly reminded me of a Christmas cookie mixed with snickerdoodles. It felt very Christmasy to me, and I plan on trying this again. 

Lastly **PINK’s Halloween Collection** 
*Good Ghoul* was so light I could barely smell anything. Next. Just kidding I’ll give it another go because the scent notes are right up my alley. 
*Haunt Mess* I did not care for but I can’t remember why (again too much to smell, I should’ve taken notes!!!) 

Sorry for the long post. I’m **TeRrIbLe** at describing scents or making comparisons so I won’t be a huge help but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ also why the hell does my hand look so red in those pics?!
