Lathers & Lights Banana Orchid; Lathers & Lights Coral Beach Reviews

I used 2 more sample packets yesterday (and arrived home to find my latest order from LL plus a ton more packets!).

Lathers & Lights Banana Orchid is not available on the site yet, which means it was either part of the General Catalog before she changed to a seasonal GC and it might be back later in summer or it is an LE for an upcoming month. Full disclosure: I hate banana. Like extremely. Almost as much as I hate pumpkin. It's not a dislike, I find the smell to be kin to rotten garbage. That being said, I'm always willing to try because I find that certain blends can make things bearable. I ordered a Banana Sugar bath mousse (kinda like a soapy shaving mousse) because it's a wash-off scent and I thought it would be a nice tropical addition to my bath. Anyway, Banana Orchid (it was a body lotion sample) hit me in the face full force with banana. I don't know if the "orchid" part was suppose to be orchid or vanilla orchid or just a floral background but I got nothing but banana. And I hated it, it reminded me of those banana shaped candies you could get from store candy machines. Ugh. Luckily, I put this on my legs and when it dried the scent was gone. So you need not fear if you don't want to walk around all day smelling like bananas. If you happen to like banana, I'm sure you'll want to try this as it is primarily a banana only scent.

Lathers & Lights Coral Beach is available as part of the seasonal GC. The official description is "A beautiful blending of tropical flowers, clean island breezes, smooth citrus, and light touches of vanilla. This fragrance isn't fruity, foody, or flowery...it's juuuust right for a perfect summer day!" I got this in a very thick mango body butter which might be a new formula coming out I'm not sure but I definitely like it. My nose must have been broken after the banana because I swear I got fruity. Very fruity- probably pineapple. It was very good and very light. It was screaming pineapple to me but it was definitely fruity. It dried down to a light pineapple skin scent that was very pretty but also my sister really liked it. I'm not a fruity scent person but if I was, this would be my office scent. Pretty but light.
