Strawberry Snowflakes

Elevated, Fluffy Pink Strawberry Gourmand... I wasn't sure if this was going to be as gourmand as I was hoping, but it didn't disappoint. It's a fluffy, pink. strawberry gourmand that's similar to Strawberry Poundcake, except a touch more elevated with the floral-citrus facets of the bergamot and a faint shampoo vibe. With layering the spray and lotion, I really get a nice cloud of pink marshmallow that's elevated by the bergamot & shampoo vibe, which makes it more versatile by being less hyper-realistic foodie. This would layer well with lighter strawberry gourmands, lighter florals, lighter apple, shampoo vibe scents, lighter lactonic gourmands and more. Lactonic scents can be tricky to layer without destroying the lactonic effect in my experience, but I'll do some experimenting, and post about it on the layering threads. Update 12/06/25: I've enjoyed layering this, and so far so successful combos were with Strawberry Snowflakes + Strawberry Ice Cream Demeter Strawberry Snowflakes + Guimauve Reminiscence Strawberry Snowflakes + Choco Musk Marshmallow Al-Rehab Strawberry Snowflakes + Strawberry Cheesecake Bodycology Strawberry Snowflakes + L'Instant de Guerlain EDT Guerlain I'm sure there's much more good layering combos, but these are just the ones I've tried so far. Love it. Enjoy!

After years of not going to B&BW, I finally went this year after receiving a bunch of coupons. And I'm really glad I did! This here is one of my new favorite finds. It smells like strawberries and chilled vanilla / cool whip. There's also this elevated sensation that reminds me of smelling a cup of ice, like you can smell the coldness. *Edit* After checking the notes, they really got it all spot on lol. After getting home and being able to smell it better, I realized why I was drawn to this one so much. It's bc it reminds me of a scent that I already love - Pacifica's Island Vanilla. If you've smelled that, this would be like a frosty strawberries & whipped cream flanker. For comparison, I also got the Strawberry Pound Cake spray, which is very similar to Strawberry Snowflakes, but it's heavier and sweeter overall, and it's missing that chilly feeling. SPC is even more similar to IV -- it's pretty much just adding strawberry to IV. And there's also no coldness in that one. I really like the 2 strawberry scents I got from B&BW this year, and their performance has been actually pretty decent (especially for a body spray). On my robe, I used several generous sprays, and I could smell it 2-3 days later. On skin, it lasts me overnight, but of course, it's very faint when I wake up.

Its so fluffy and a million times better than Strawberry Poundcake, though there is a similarity this is strawberry ice cream version and that is strawberry cake. The mist is very very light though and I wish it had more projection. But its a strawberry milkshake dream, especially the lotion that one is super milky. The opening is so incredibly icy its so cool. Its also not so similar to Yum Bougie Marshmallow (well her children that I have collected) to my nose, its really not as candied as YBM but a lot softer dreamier yet more prominent fresh strawberry, and milkier but less vanillic if that makes sense. More of an icy strawberry milk. Its the closest to EOS strawberry dream, which I think is pretty much a perfect strawberries and cream, of all my creamy strawberry perfumes, and apparently even the EOS mist isnt all that so I am really going to be enjoying this instead. Another close one to me is Rayhaan Kiss but that has more coconut and condensed milk but still a bit close to this. If this projected more I would like this better but projection is important to me.

I finally got my hands on this fragrance and I am in love with it! Right off, it smells like a light strawberry milkshake with whipped cream on top. It’s so light and airy, yet sweet and creamy. It’s not annoyingly sweet, it’s just that perfect balance of sweetness and icy creamy goodness! I can’t get enough of this fragrance and have been combining this with other fragrances. And by random chance as I was testing out Coffee Cloud by Good Chemistry with this, together they created a whole new level of amazing fragrance. The coffee and citrus note in Coffee Cloud just add that dazzle and delightful mellow sweetness and brightens up more with the bergamot note from Coffee Cloud. I’m in love with the combo. And I’m sure Strawberry Snowflakes would smell even more amazing if combined with other coffee fragrance notes, also chocolate notes! I would say do not pass up the chance to pick this fragrance up if you come across this one. It’s a perfect way to add with other fragrances. I’m obsessed!

My first thought was strawberry milkshake, but it’s not as strong as that. It’s more like strawberry milk. Synthetic sweet strawberry like in strawberry pound cake, but this is more toned down. This is super lactonic, smells like something you can drink 🍓 🥛 it’s pretty light, I must say. I’ll have to play around and mix it with different lotions to get the most from this. It’s very pretty and I would recommend for those days you don’t want to wear something too heavy. This has a chilled scent like the smell when you open the freezer or smell an ice cube tray 🧊 . I’d say this is acceptable to consider a gourmand 100% I also wanted to add, something in here reminds me of bare vanilla, it’s got this note that is so cozy for me, which I love about bare vanilla. My Strawberry snowflakes body cream is in the mail and can’t wait to pair it with bare vanilla. projection: 5/10 longevity: 6/10 fragrance: 9/10 true to notes: 7/10 (bergamot undetected) packaging: 8/10
