The Rhubarb & Custard fragrance we all dreamed of. It's named 1:29, not after a train timetable, but because it's 1 part Rhubarb & Citrus Cologne to 29 parts Vanilla Custard; this turned out to be the ideal combination of the two separate fragrances tested at the special 4160Tuesdays/Mrs Gloss & The Goss afternoon workshop. The ideal blend of tart with sweet, smooth with sharp, bright with soothing, as chosen by eight discerning Glossers as the perfect balance between the two contrasting themes. A pudding in a perfume.

RHUBARB AND CUSTARD
Essentially, Rhubarb and Custard is basically just a Vanilla Crumble with a dash of citrus/rhubarb. However, with Rhubarb and Custard, upon opening notes, I can definitely smell a lot more of a really sharp baked rhubarb scent with a little bit of dessert in the background, more of a honey and oatmeal. After the dry down, the rhubarb dries down but the heavy creamy brown sugar and oatmeal bread and butter pudding starts to peak through a little more. Bergamot comes forward a little more like a touch of sweet Earl Grey tea and just rounds out that otherwise sharp sweetness of the Vanilla Absolute, which I would say was the downside of Creamy Vanilla Crumble. This scent reminds me of a raspberry panacotta, and it has a little more throw because of the tartness in the perfume. This lasts around 5-6 hours on my skin, and 6-7 on fabric. I really love this scent, and I've ordered a 30mL already! Absolutely love this, and can't wait to get my full size version. Highly reccomend this for foodies and gourmand lovers.
