I want to lick this off of me when I wear this. Kinda gross, I know, but it smells so delicious. The notes are self-explanatory and it's not complicated in it's wearing. I'll definitely be buying again when my little roller ball is used up. 6/24/21 My little roller ball is used up, but I won't be replacing. It needed that cedar, or something to jump in and give this a little depth. The best way I can describe is that it's a thin perfume. It doesn't have much depth, this sillage and longevity on me are nonexistent.
I bought this from Sephora about a month or more ago. It smelled like marshmallows when I sprayed it on me in the store. When I got home and sprayed it again, it reminded me of Burberry perfume my mom had and I was a little taken aback. I kept wearing it and it grew on me. It's very warm and yummy. Like caramel if it was warmed up literally. I don't know much yet about scents, but I do smell something else in there I suppose it is the white chocolate or the sandalwood? I don't know, but it's a comforting smell. My boyfriend was laying next to me and he said I smelled mad good. I blushed a little lol. Sometimes I mix this scent with Britney Spears Private Show EDT. It mixes together well on my skin. It's very cashmerey.
This has all the same notes as Sugar Bandit, a discontinued Pinrose fragrance. I think Sugar Bandit may have just been renamed, not totally discontinued.
Are we sure those notes are correct? This is very floral. Slight vanilla but mostly just floral. I’m not mad because I got a small sample size but definitely not full bottle worthy.
I couldn’t figure out why I was getting a strong soapy white floral note, until I went to the Pinrose website and found out that the Fragrantica notes are WRONG! The ACTUAL notes are: Top Notes: Mandarin, Bergamot Heart: Caramel, White Chocolate, Jasmine Drydown: Madagascan Vanilla, Cedarwood, Sandalwood If you don’t like that vintage soapy white floral vibe that some jasmine notes give off, I’d avoid this one. I’ll likely return this to Ulta.
