- The GG’s Final Thoughts: Finally! A natural perfume that smells like candy instead of all the usual, you know – hippie scents! I think companies sometimes forget that just because we want natural ingredients doesn’t necessarily mean we want to smell like a Tree-Hugger =) Ha ha. So in other words, I’m more than happy to welcome this to my new, totally natural perfume collection. The sweet, candy-licious smell of this sort of reminds me of one of my toxic, old flames… Victoria’s Secret’s Strawberries and Champagne Body Spray sans the headache. Only complaint? I wish the scent lasted a bit longer. What I’ve noticed from testing several different brands of natural perfumes, is that the alcohol based ones tend to wear off more quickly than oil based ones. Now, this is just my experience and every body’s body chemistry is different. When I had last spoken to Patricia, the owner of Agape & Zoe Naturals, she mentioned that they were possibly considering switching over to an oil-based formulation, if she does- that would be a HUGE plus! I really hope they do. In the meantime, I’ve found that the currently sold (grain alcohol-based version) works a teeny bit better if I spray it on my clothes versus just directly on my pulse points, and it hasn’t ruined anything so far. I would just test a small area first to be safe though. Thanks Agape & Zoe Naturals! xo

October 28, 2011 at 2:28 amI love Sugared Crush as well! I agree – sometimes it’s hard to find natural perfumes and deodorants that don’t smell like patchouli or something else hippie-esque. Patchouli has such a stigma IMO, that I vehemently avoid anything with it as an ingredient. I’m a hippie in my heart, but I don’t need to smell like one ;)
I think Sugared Crush is an amazing alternative to the popular Pink Sugar (which always gave me a headache)… actually, it’s not just an alternative, it’s an upgrade!

November 15, 2011 at 1:29 amI know this isnt really relevant but you should try nvey organics eyeshadows. Ive heard great things! And I was hoping you could tell me more about the mouse you reviewed a bit ago? I have super frizzy wavy hair and need an anti humectant (I live in a super humid climate. Hello hell NC.) But my problem is I do NOT like crunchy. Is it super crunchy and does it last all day? NOTHING I have tried seems to. Thats natural anyway.
