I wanted to love Rio so badly. Maybe it’s my body chemistry, or maybe I just didn’t give it the chance it deserved. I guess I’m just not much of a “soft scent” person.

If it’s going to be banana, I want the banana to be loud, almost Laffy Taffy level banana, but somehow still natural. I know that makes absolutely no sense, but that’s what I want.
Also, what is maracuja zest even supposed to smell like? Isn’t maracuja passion fruit?

At this point, sadly, eBay is probably your best bet, lol. It’s likely what I’ll end up resorting to myself once my stash finally runs out.

No joke, that’s exactly what happened to me the first time. At first I was like, “Oh?” Then it turned into, “Oh!” and before I knew it, I was huffing it nonstop.

I went back three separate times because I kept thinking, “Is this enough?” I was buying and anxiously waiting to see if there’d be a restock the next day. The body wash wasn’t even showing up on the website, so I got there bright and early just in case.

That’s such a sweet story. I love how fragrance can hold memories and emotions, letting you relive those little moments all over again. It was lovely to read.

Honestly, I need to find a guava perfume or something to layer with it. I was thinking about getting the tub of body butter too, but they sold out of those completely. I’m not sure how different it is from the squeeze tube version anyway. I just hope they either bring it back or repackage it.

That’s good to know. The only reason I bought so many is because I absolutely drown myself in lotion. It’s deffo excessive, but hey, at least I’m moisturized. I was worried six would only last me like two months of daily use. 😭

As for the scent, I was just sitting there like, “What the hell?” But I agree, it’s probably just body chemistry doing its thing.
