I had been wanting these two for awhile - apparently my foodie fetish is lasting. For someone who said they didn't like foodie scents when I first got into perfume oils last year, I sure have and enjoy a LOT of them!
Twice Is Nice: Sweetest offerings of opulence! Buttery sugar cookie,
with shavings of creamy coconut and topped with toasted almond slivers!
Indeed, in the bottle this is sheer butter cookie. Yum. As it dries, I get butter cookie with a just a touch of coconut and some almond. I was slightly concerned about this one, after the almond note in Dana O'Shee turned to fake cherry on me. This one doesn't seem to be doing that, thankfully. It's just coconut/almond/cookie.
Troika: A trinity of soft milks, almond, oat and coconut, lashed with sweet agave nectar and the ethereal scent of clean white.
Well, it's definitely not what I was expecting....In the bottle, I get a creamy "white" note, but there's definitely a floral in there. This is NOT a foodie scent at all. As it's drying, I get more floral and less milk. No coconut, oat, or almond to be found, just a white floral. When it's dry, the milk notes come out more, it sweetens up a lot, and the floral moves more to the background. I have lots of scents with a vanilla cream note, and fortunately it appears milk and cream notes don't go "sour" on my skin, as I have seen people say happens to them in some reviews. I think I was expecting more milk and less clean white with this one, but it's growing on me....When completely dry it finally is nearly all sweet milks with just a touch of that clean white floral. This is nice and light and clean - not foodie, but still very nice!
Haus of Gloi is still batting a thousand with me. Even though so far Troika is my least favorite of the bunch, it's still definitely a keeper.
As always, Matt and Britton of Haus of Gloi don't have a clue who I am, other than a random customer, and I was not compensated in any way, shape, or form for this review.
