I've been on vacation so I haven't had my supply to use really. My sister's allergic to mostly everything and can't stand anything scented strongly. But here's the products I took with me:
~ Moonalisa 4-in-1 in Peach Paradise. As well established here, I love Moonalisa's 4-in-1s as shampoo. Peach Paradise's official description is sweet peaches in syrup doused with creamy coconut milk. I definitely get a soft peach in a milky cream. A very pretty well blended peaches and cream scent and really perfect for early summer. However, this last time I used it I think I got kettle corn? No really, like sweet popcorn. Like a carnival. It was actually pretty good being that I hate eating kettle corn but I wasn't expecting it. Maybe my nose was off because every other time I've gotten peaches and cream.
~ Moonalisa Hair Conditioner in The Gate
Official description- Shades are known for enticing innocent passersby to come hither so they can posses their souls and be able to walk among the living. Starting with fresh and deadly Delphinium and blending with Oak moss for deceptive warmth and enticement, ending with cool and tomb-like Osmathus flower.
A very light white floral. I've reviewed this before.
~ Lathers & Lights Sugar Scrub Mini in Green Tea. I got this mini scrub in my April Tea Party sampler set. So fresh and calming! I love LL's sugar scrubs because they're very scrubby and clean rinsing. They may not moisturize as well as Moonalisa or Haunt but I like that it sloughs everything off and I can apply a different scented lotion that doesn't conflict with this. The tea scent here is a very true almost powdery green tea, none of that strong black tea scent as in the other scents in the sampler. She has a Green Tea & Ginger scent that I think would be perfect in a sugar scrub or as a nighttime lotion.
~ Lathers & Lights Body Butter Sample in Chamomile Tea. A sample packet from my last order. Very light herbal tea scent. The body butter is to die for as usual, very thick and non-greasy. The scent is extremely light in a good way and perfect for bedtime. It's very unoffensive for others.
~ Lathers & Lights Dry Oil Mist Mini in Lychee Tea. I've reviewed this before as well. Very strong fruity black tea. I think it's been getting stronger. The fruity's almost too much for me now.

Lathers & Lights Tahitian Coconut
I used a sample packet of Tahitian Coconut this morning. I was in a rush and didn't write down what type of lotion it was but probably one of the thinner ones.
Official description- We've blended our creamy, fresh coconut with the captivating aroma of Tahitian tiare blossoms. Paradise in a bottle doesn't even begin to do it justice!
All of the other coconuts I tried from Lathers & Lights this summer have had a suntan lotion coconut scent to them which I find pleasant. This however smells like pure fresh coconut, no suntan lotion in sight. The tiare adds a light vanilla/floral background (if you didn't read the notes beforehand I think you would maybe detect a light floral or mistake it for a vanilla background. I doubt you could identify the floral at all).
Verdict- Ugh, I wish I had gotten this in my order (which should be at my house Monday- meaning a week TAT which I think is great for a big sale). Very coconutty with an awesome vanilla background. Lovely light floral for those who might otherwise not like them. Good coconut scent if you hate suntan lotion scents.

Really Late Nocturne Alchemy May Update
I received my decants from the April Update & haven't tried them, I'll try to get that done when I get back from vacation next week. I did wear the Jasmine Kobalt & it's wonderful. I'll do a fuller review but if you like jasmine, this is a big winner
Anyway, new May update
~ Akhenaten Incense ~ Lily, Magnolia, White Ginger, Amber, Kudzu Blossom, White Lotus, White Amber, Coriander, Frankincense, Apricot, Grapefruit and a hint of Peach. We wanted to make this a rich aromatic perfume but remain a confident scent combining elements of incense ritual by adding a touch of White Sage and in the vein of Japanese Incense or beautiful Egyptian Incense and Japanese Yuzu, we wanted to give the empyrean notes a gorgeous incense dedication.
*~ Azure Ankh *RESURRECTED* ~ Egyptian Musk of the original Nokturne single note, ether of Egyptian Sandalwood and far east wind arising and exhaling from the Nile and slumbering into the subtle spice of Nokturne: Crimson (Egyptian Red Musk). Azure Ankh is blended into a deeper scent by taking deep Red Musk and dark Black Musk, Red Amber and added aged Crimson (Egyptian Red Musk) and sifting them all together and slowly dropping them into the Ankh perfume until a natural division occurs. (Sold Out)
*~ Bastet's Garden Spring: Coconut Santalum ~ Exotic Coconut Husk, Coconut Cream, Santalum Gold (new Nokturne to come), Rich Tahitian Vanilla, drop of Kobalt (Vanilla Orchid), Santalum White and a drop of Orange Blossom Absolute.
*~ Cerulean Ankh *RESURRECTED* ~ Egyptian Musk of the original Nokturne single note, ether of Egyptian Sandalwood and far east wind arising and exhaling from the Nile and slumbering into the subtle spice of Nokturne: Crimson (Egyptian Red Musk). Cerulean Ankh is blended into a deeper scent by taking deep Vanilla, Crystal (Vanilla Musk) and Moonstone (Vanilla Bean), added aged Sapphire (Amber Musk) and sifting them all together and slowly dropping them into the Ankh perfume until a natural division occurs. (Sold Out)
*~ ISIS X ~ The scent of sweet Egyptian orchid, the red of Egyptian Musk and the heart of pale amber. We've taken the original recipe and added the X treatment of: Crystal (Vanilla Musk), Kobalt (Vanilla Orchid), Moonstone (Vanilla Bean), and Vanilla Santalum. Vanilla, Vanilla, Vanilla and Vanilla Sandalwood - oh and a little Spun Fog Sugar. For this and Osiris X, Crystalline (Egyptian Vanilla Orchid Resin) and a little of that new Sandalwood (Santalum Gold).
*~ Osiris X ~ Egyptian Sandalwood, Egyptian cola root, sweet almond oil and the air above the Nile resurrecting life into the world. Heliotrope, basil, amber and bergamot breathe through a touch of cardamom. A subtle spice scent with nuances of NA Granite and White Benzoin Resin NA Blend. We've taken the original recipe and added the X treatment of: Crystal (Vanilla Musk), Kobalt (Vanilla Orchid), Moonstone (Vanilla Bean), and Vanilla Santalum. Vanilla, Vanilla, Vanilla and Vanilla Sandalwood - oh and a little Spun Fog Sugar. For this and Isis X, Crystalline (Egyptian Vanilla Orchid Resin) and a little of that new Sandalwood (Santalum Gold).
*~ Purnima Crystal ~ NA Accord Pink Sugar, NA Accord Blue Sugar, White Apricot, Egyptian Cedar, Italian Bergamot, Blue Coriander, Spun Egyptian Sugar, Black Fig and aged beautifully; Nokturne: Crystal (Egyptian Vanilla & Musk)
*~ Purnima Kobalt ~ NA Accord Pink Sugar, NA Accord Blue Sugar, White Apricot, Egyptian Cedar, Italian Bergamot, Blue Coriander, Spun Egyptian Sugar, Black Fig and aged beautifully; Nokturne: Kobalt (Egyptian Vanilla Orchid imported from Cairo, Egypt)
*~ Purnima Santalum ~ NA Accord Pink Sugar, NA Accord Blue Sugar, White Apricot, Egyptian Cedar, Italian Bergamot, Blue Coriander, Spun Egyptian Sugar, Black Fig and aged beautifully; Nokturne: Santalum (Rich Egyptian Sandalwood from Aswan, Egypt)
~ Scroll of Bastet ~ Aged NA Scroll of Thoth Amber Resin (a glorious White Amber), Sweet French Vanilla Bean Fleck sifted, Nokturne: Crystal (Vanilla Musk), Nepalese Amber, Yellow Mandarin Absolute, Black Teak, Elemi Absolute, Genet Absolute, Tamanu Fruit and a drop of Sweet Fennel.
*~ Temple NA: Affirmation ~ This perfume is built from many layers of beautiful imported Indian and Egyptian Incense based oils. Dark Sandalwoods, Pure rich warm smoke, Musk Incense, Musk Florals and Egyptian Woods. For Temple NA: Affirmation we blended the deep sensual Red Musk (Nokturne: Kashmir), a drop of sensual Black Honey and a touch of Egyptian Red Musk (Nokturne: Crimson - lightly spiced red skin musk) for the affirmation of the self.
~ Zodiac: Taurus ~ The floating scent of Snow Musk bonds with N3 Musk (a softer Egyptian Musk) to give a safe home beneath the middle notes of White Amber, Blue Amber and Egyptian Frankincense tears - rapturous is a cup of Tibetan and Egyptian Black Tea and warm exotic Haitian Vetiver as opening notes for this warm and soft resin Zodiac Blend.

I want to try most of these but I won't order until I test my April decants & determine if I really like the company.

Lathers & Lights Flip Flops Body Yogurt; Lathers & Lights Lychee Tea Dry Oil Mist; Lathers & Lights Cantaloupe Lily Dry Oil Mist
Tonight's testing combo included a sample packet of Lathers & Lights Flip Flops Body Yogurt.
Official scent description- Tropical coconut and rich vanilla, the perfect scent for a day on the beach!
I already posted my feelings on the body yogurt (very nice but I prefer richer body butters) and my Cinco de Mayo order included an Argan Infusion Hair Serum in Flip Flops. I wanted a neutral but summery scent that would go with any perfume or leftover conditioner scent. Coconut and vanilla sounded pretty neutral. The scent is definitely that suntan lotion scent I got from Coconut Breeze. It's almost a little nutty and definitely kinda artificial but I do like it (I just realized "definitely kinda" is an oxymoron). You know when you want to describe something as artificial suntan lotion but you mean it in the best possible way? That's how I feel about this. I glad I choose this scent for the hair serum. It's super light and won't conflict with anything. You could really wear this around people who don't like any scents.
I also used the dry oil mist from my Tea Party sampler. Full disclosure- I don't like lychee and I would never order this. However, it's also very light. The dry oil mist is so light itself that I had to rub it in to check that I got something on me. It dries ridiculously quickly and is completely non-greasy. I added a second coat just to make sure I got everywhere. This would be great for outdoors during the summer for a quick spritz of moisture. The scent is not heavy on the tea which I was expecting sure I briefly tried the Blackberry Tea Body Butter and the tea was a very strong black tea scent. I got a very light fruity scent. I couldn't identify it as lychee and that was a good thing in my book.
I used the Cantaloupe Lily a few days ago and raved about it on a bath & body forum. The dry oil mist is the same as above and again I wasn't thrilled to try this scent. I hate Bath & Body Works' melon scents. I mean I despise them. They smell like bad fruity pre-teen perfumes to me. So naturally, I thought I hated melon scents (BPAL's melon is also not-so-fun, I'm really not a fruity kinda girl). I do love white florals, including lily. This is wonderful, a pure melon scent (I wanted to say honeydew however) with a light white floral background which made it much more bearable. I really like this. I'll use the whole bottle (1oz goes a long way in these).
I love Lathers & Lights samplers because I get to try trial sizes of things I would never order in full ones. Plus I'm going on vacation & these are perfect sizes. I'm really excited for all the coconut items I ordered.

Shower Post #2- Haus of Gloi White Blueberry Butterbomb; Moonalisa Lavender Love Bubbling Bath Brew; Moonalisa Dr. Bombay 4-in-1 Gel; Moonalisa The Gate Hair Conditioner; Haunt Doe Sugar Polish; Haus of Gloi Who Needs Love Whipped Soap; Bathed & Infused Aztec Cocoa Bath Whip
~ Used a Haus of Gloi Butterbomb tonight in White Blueberry. I previously used the rose one they sold when these first came out and I fell in love. It made the water milky and soft and it smells the entire bathroom up with fresh roses. White Blueberry also made my water milky and soft but not so much on the scent. I think it was creamy but it died down so fast I can't be sure. To be honest, I didn't expect much since it's a white scent (and therefore I suspected it would be light) but I did hope for more blueberry. I wouldn't buy this scent again but I definitely love the butterbombs.
~ So then I added in about 1/3-1/2 a bag of Moonalisa Lavender Love Bubbling Bath Brew I got from the Valentine's sale. It was a rich herbal lavender and perfect for an evening bath. As with others I've used, it added a lot of bubbles and this time the scent lasted longer. Maybe I should stick to "stronger" notes and just stay away from fruity/citrus ones? I might actually repurchase this one, though I have a bottle of French Lavender Disappearing Bath Oil I'm going to try first.
~ I used Moonalisa's Dr. Bombay 4-in-1 Gel to wash my hair (see my full review)
~ Moonalisa The Gate Hair Conditioner- I'll do a fuller review of these once I use it a couple times but the scent was very pretty. I got a very light white floral scent, nothing distinctive but a scent I'm glad I picked for spring. I also have a Dusting Powder in this scent. It was a thick rich conditioner.
Official scent description- Shades are known for enticing innocent passersby to come hither so they can possess their souls and be able to walk among the living. Starting with fresh and deadly Delphinium and blending with Oak moss for deceptive warmth and enticement, ending with cool and tomb-like Osmathus flower
~ Haunt Doe Sugar Scrub (see my full review)
~ Finally finished up my Haus of Gloi Who Needs Love whipped soap (chocolate/raspberry scent). I have several whipped soaps from their Valentine collection & the recent spring reverie. Makes a great shaving lather.
~ Ran out of the HoG soap halfway through shaving my legs so I had to switch to a Bathed & Infused Bath Whip I'm also trying to use it. This one is from the winter scent list and is suppose to be a Mexican spicy cocoa but I seriously don't get any scent and it's not just old, I never got a real scent from it. I thought maybe it needed to cure but it just didn't develop. It also doesn't melt very well in my opinion. There are just much better products out there. I've been disappointed in every BI product I've received. Every scent has been weird and even though I've tried curing (letting it sit and the scent develop). They're still weird. I don't think I'll order again. Lathers & Lights does the same business model (changing LE scents every month) & I love the products and most of the scents I've tried.
