Working some more with Strawberries & Cream profile, I've come across this iteration and it's quickly become my favorite. It's a nice, pronounced, sweet strawberry blended with a sweet, semi-tart, thick cream. It's not cloyingly sweet, the strawberry isn't too artificial, and the cream isn't too heavy or overwhelmingly dairy.

The Strawberries -- TFA Strawberry Ripe, which most of us are familiar with, brings a good amount of sweetness, and a ripe undertone to your strawberry. FA Strawberry tastes like a juiced strawberry to me, and brings some freshness and authenticity to the strawberry. INW Shisha Strawberry is a very pronounced, smooth, almost creamy strawberry, bordering on an artifical strawberry flavor. All of these combined round out a delicious, pronounced, strawberry.

The Cream -- INW Vanilla Shisha is a nice creamy vanilla, that serves to really accent the creams. TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream brings sweetness, creaminess, and a bit of a brightness to the cream to really lift it up. FLV Cream brings a slight dairy note to the mix, while rounding out the creams and giving it some body. LA Cream Cheese Icing does a great job of providing some sweet creaminess to the mix while also giving it a bit of a tart punch to really take it in a different direction and wake up your palate.

The overall combination of the strawberries and the creams leave you with a sweet, complex, satisfying strawberries and cream that doesn't leave me searching for anything.
