County Fair

This is one of my favorite scents ever made. I have both the ultime bottle and an alcohol-free spray. I am in love with the kettle corn note. It is just that, fresh hot kettle corn, sweet and salty, but especially freshly buttered. But then I get mixes of cotton candy, caramel apples, and just the littlest bits of funnel cake and taffy here and there, and as a little time goes by every whiff of myself is a sweet new experience. None of it feels especially artificial to me, or too foody, but I'm also really into gourmands and sweet smells, so this might not be that great for those not so into rich, buttery, sweet foodie perfumes. I can see myself purchasing this until they stop making it and I need a replacement.

It's sweet & salt popcorn that turns into apple in the dry down. It is delicious and I don't care if other people can smell it on me or not. I wear it at home for comfort, and it doesn't trigger my asthma and allergies! County Fair smells almost exactly like Shay & Blue Salt Caramel because of the popcorn scent, but County Fair smells creamier, more potent, and more like food, while Salt Caramel is more for going out because it has elements in it that make it smell more like traditional perfume. They're also different in the dry down. If you have one, you don't need the other. I have both because they were both blind buys. I'm happy they're both mine!

Mmm! This is amazing! I think it's one of the best scents I've ever smelled. It smells exactly like this Hungarian treat that's basically puffed rice coated in candy (sort of like the type of candy that M&Ms are coated in). The popcorn in this perfume to me isn't salty or too buttery, it's more like the smell of puffed cereal like Honey Smacks. The cotton candy in this is very smooth, not fluffy or syrupy like in Calliope, just sweet. I was actually worried that this would smell to much like Calliope, but they smell nothing alike. This scent is more vanillic and sort of like a sugar cookie mixed with colorful Easter candy Jordan Almonds.

Imagine walking at a fair selling spun sugar, just baked donuts, pumpkin pie, funnel cake and caramelized almonds. This is thick, savory and lightly spicy with pumpkin and cinnamon facets . I've never found something like this before except the real thing, and no other pumpkin pie scents have managed to smell this tasty. I highly recommend this delicious gourmand, it's my absolute favourite, and being a gourmand lover, I've smelled many bakery scents, and this is my number one. Men love this.

I'm pretty sensitive to sweet scents, but there must be a little bit of magic in this because I love it. Somehow they managed to capture the exact smell of the county fair (big surprise) that I used to go to when I was little. It's buttered popcorn and candy and powdered sugar all in one before it fades into a nice musky vanilla. Don't know when I'm gonna wear it, but I'll make it work.
