When I got the box, I was *certain* the products had leaked because I could smell something already! Turns out, I was wrong and it's just proof of how strongly scented the products are.
On first sniff, I do like most of what I got.
Sweet and Sassy: refreshing strawberry, almost sharp. Sweet and very cheerful smell. The kind that perks up you in the morning, especially on a Monday morning!
Apricot & Cream: My friend's first reaction was 'bubblegum'! I would say that it's almost the same as S&S, except the fruit's different (duh!). Sharper and more 'acidic', it doesn't really smell like Apricot to me, but that might just be due to my bad scent memory. Between the two, I'd prefer S&S though, since A&C is a tad too fruity and sharp.
Sugar Cookie: My friend hated it upon smelling it - too sweet and foody for her! I can definitely see that being a problem for some, especially those who don't share my (obsessive) love of foody scents. To me, it doesn't smell particularly like Cookies. It's similiar to S&S, but sweetened lots and mellowed too, with a touch of buttery cream or vanilla. This one is a bit difficult, haven't decided how much I like it yet.
Secret Crush: I think my nose is a little 'numb' after all that deep inhaling and sniffing, because I can't smell much of this at all! Compared to the other scents, which just hit you full blast, this is more of a subtle hint of a fragrance. Multiple sniffs yield multiple scents. The first note is predominantly fruity. A second sniff yields a strong sharp apple scent. And a third sniff reveals some hints of a powdery perfume. This scent just doesn't do it for me though.
Irish Cream: my favourite thus far! Very very buttery and creamy and rich. Decadently foody and oh so yummy. I definitely foresee trouble in preventing myself from just licking it! The only thing is, it doesn't really smell like Irish Cream to me! But hey, I like it so no complaints.
Vanilla Lace: I really can't place this scent! Perhaps it's because I got it in Goat's Milk Whipped Cream and the goat's milk affects the scent? There're definite hints of floral and I think it's probably the undertone of musk I detect and dislike. It smells very exotic and almost 'animal-like' to me. Reminds me of my dog after his shower - powdery and nice smelling, but with that undertone of 'doggy' smell.
Overall, I'm really pleased with my order! I didn't like certain scents, but it isn't really a source of complaint since it's probably more because of bad choices on my part.
Michelle was wonderfully obliging and helpful throughout the process of ordering. Her CS is excellent and definitely impressive. I would re-order simply because of that!
Haven't managed to test the textures of the creams yet (I got the Silky Shea Lotion, Goat's Milk Whipped Cream and Goat's Milk & Honey Body Lotion). Will review more when I do!
Hope you girls found this useful. Sorry it's so long!

I'm been slathering on loads and after daily usage revolving around four bottles, there's barely been a drop in their levels.
It lather so easily!! Love the scent, Petals & Pears!!
