Dove x Crumbl Strawberry Crumb Cake is Giving Wet Dog
Dove x Crumbl Strawberry Crumb Cake Body Scrub is one of the limited-edition drops from the Dove X Crumbl Collaboration that’s set to officially arrive at Walmart on February 1st. As you know from my past rants this collection has been in and out of stock and of course, Tiktok flippers took full advantage and have been selling the collection for well above retail price. I managed to purchase the Strawberry Crumb Cake Body Scrub as well as the Lemon Glaze Body Wash and Scrub on Walmart’s website. According to reports the collection will be available starting next month but as I said it’s been in and out of stock on the website. I do know the deodorants are not aren’t so popular and all of them are in stock!
Last year Dove launched a Holiday Treats Collection that was a huge hit and this year they brought back the collection with new scents like Pecan Butter Crunch and Gingerbread Delight. They also, launched some a line of Men’s Deodorants in scents like Hot Toddy and Chocolate Mint Martini. Needless to say Dove is riding this high hard and I suspect we’ll see more LE Collections like this in the works espeially considering how well this Crumbl Collection is doing.
I do think the Dove Holiday Treats Collection was hit or miss. Some scents like Hot Cocoa Swirl were amazing and others like Gingerbread Delight and Sugar Cookie are just ok.
And it seems the Dove x Crumbl Collection seems to have the same inconsistencies. I really liked the Lemon Glaze scent. It has that cookie element combined with a subtle lemon. I haven’t smelled Confetti Cake as of yet but I did manage Dove x Crumbl Strawberry Crumb Cake Body Scrub and hated it. I dunno if it’s just the scrub or if the body wash smells the same as scents can translate a differently across products sometimes. I know the scrub is awful. Avoid at all costs. It smells like wet dog to me.
According to Dove it has notes of strawberry cookie topped with vanilla glaze and buttery crumbs. I get the strawberry and there’s a hint of a cheesecake-like element which makes it smell like strawberry cheesecake. Ok, we’re off to a good start here…! But wait, what’s that? There’s some sort of weird musk element in the background that does NOT combine well with the strawberry. It smells like funky wet dog with strawberries. No bueno.
The actual scrub formula is the same. I like a grainer scrub but I can’t deny that Dove does a luxurious one for your buck. It’s thick, super creamy, moisturizing, and has very fine grains. It turns into a rich lather when water is added. Sadly, the scent just isn’t working for me though!
Dove x Crumbl Strawberry Crumb Cake should be launching soon at stores but I’d highly recommend doing a sniff taste on this one when your store gets it as it’s not a safe blindbuy!
