Velvet Sugar

It has the notes of red velvet crème, golden plum, sugared musk, pink jasmine and wild strawberries. To my nose if i have to describe it in one word i would say "jujubes candy". So its basically a candy/custard sweet kind of fragrance. I can't differentiate all those fragrance in particular order at all. From the first blast to the dry down it just smells like jujubes candies that's made with strawberry jam, the jam is soft & chewy with lots of dusting sugar on top. I get no florals, no plum, no cakey elements. It's just pure jammy syrupy sweet fragrance. It's a very sugary, delicious, comforting scent. I don't like strawberry in my fragrances but this one fortunately doesn't smell too artificial. The sweetness from the strawberry seems to be more nectar like. I was also afraid that sugared musk would make it smell too musky or powdered sugar like which will later on smell like cologne but i am happy to report it's the most amazingly delectable sugary smell, not too musky at all. It's a simple sweet scent so some people might find it boring or juvenile but I personally love it. The smell is simple, feminine, huggable. Extremely girly & pleasant on the nose to smell. This fragrance should be an instant hit with men because they tend to like scents that smell sweet & girly. Unless you are too fussy with your fragrance, you are bound to like this no matter at what age you are. It's playful, cute, flirty & the easiest scent to grab onto. I am totally in love. The projection is moderate, creates a beautiful scent bubble without being too loud. The longevity is decent. it turns into a soft musky skin skin that lingers on for 5 hours. It smells much better on clothes & lasts for a long time too.

I'll preface by saying that I have a preference for gourmands, candy-like scents and fruity florals. I haven't been able to put this down the last few days. I still have the original mist, and went through the lotion and shower gel ages ago. So for SAS I picked up a few more mists and the rest of the body care. I can't speak for the newer mist yet because I'm still using my old one, but the shower gel and body cream smell even BETTER, albeit a bit lighter than before. I find them to be a bit sweeter, like I can actually smell a bit "red velvet" this time. There's a sort of creaminess I didn't get before. It's less shampoo-y I guess I'm trying to say. I've recently layered this with Lush's Snow Fairy and omg... delicious combo! I think that if you like scents like Pink Sugar, Britney's Fantasy, BBW Among The Clouds, VS Pink Warm and Cozy, you would probably enjoy this one.

Very pretty, sugary sweet, and creamy with a touch of fruit and florals on a soft musky base! Kind of like a slightly fruity spun sugar! It’s delicious and delightful, but also almost delicate in a way too. I don’t find it overly strawberry or plum smelling, they seem to just add a nice fruity scent. I don’t pick up any rose at all, and just a soft touch of jasmine. Overall, I think Velvet Sugar is just such a pretty sweet fragrance! I have the lotion as well as the fragrance and I love to pair the lotion with other sweet fragrances like Pink Sugar, Ralph Lauren Beyond Romance, Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau So Sweet, and VS Heavenly Dream Angel. I find it to be really wearable... it’s not too rich or heavy. I get good performance with Velvet Sugar, especially if I’m wearing the lotion too. It lasts throughout most of the day on me and projects about an arm’s length.

Another classic I had never tried until the retired fragrances returned online! I smell intense sugary strawberry and plum, with a light, soft jasmine and rose floral peeking through the sugar. The custard I get more the further away I smell it. I like the pattern on the bottle because that’s exactly what I think of- cute n sexy fishnets dressed with hearts. First spray is tart and fruity, dry down to sweet, subtle fruity, creamy custard, subtle floral with a musky base. I can see where this would be headache inducing for some, but the dry down is more warm and sensual to me. This velvety warm dry down counteracts the sharp tartness of the initial spray. I can also see where someone may consider this too juvenile, but I see the playfulness in its youth. Sugary sweet summery strawberry- a cute kind of sexy.

This is such a sweet and pretty fragrance. Smells like strawberry candy in the best way. The plum is quite faint. I detect no florals, but I guess that's for the better. The custard is present when first sprayed then fades quickly. Its sillage is moderate. It doesn't project too much. It lasts about a couple of hours on my skin, but given the price point, it's expected. The packaging is as cutesy as it was before. This is so good for daytime use during spring or summer.
