Be My Cookie

Went down to the perfume store initially just out of curiosity to smell L’animal and Be my cookie On the strip, Be my cookie was really giving cookie vibes - Maybe a tad bit too gourmand for my taste but I left with a sample to give it the "on skin" test Applied a single dab shortly after in the car while waiting at a red light on the way to get coffee For the first, I wanna say 20-30 minutes, I got this lovely cookie smell and it was less gourmand or sweet than on the strip - Really enjoyable But where it took me by surprise is an hour or so in - I got tobacco leaves ... Went to check the notes... no tobacco. But, raspberry... and I was like, I think I know what’s happening here When I got home I went straight for a book that I have about molecular pairing of wine and ingredients - Looked at raspberries and lo and behold, they share some of the same molecular components as green tobacco leaves - Ha! As I had a date later on, I decide to wear it and apply more, even though it’s described as animalic - Let’s be bold! All evening long I enjoyed that dance between sweet cookie smell and tobacco leaves - More tobacco than cookie though ( cookie dough - pun intended ) As the night ended and I walked her to her car, we hugged and she said: "Oh, you smell so good" - And she shoved her nose in my neck and kept it there for a good 5-10 seconds - As I live in a part of the world where any slightest tiny hint of body/foul odour is very highly frowned upon, that's quite telling as far as the "animalic" properties of the fragrance goes in my opinion. In the sense that there are animalic undertones but they're not skanky Back home, I applied three fresh dabs on the back of my hand to try and get a deeper feel for it Same sweet cookie smell in the opening which seems to hover quietly over the rest of the composition and at it’s heart tobacco leaves from the raspberry extract - And when I smell it really close to the skin, the leather is noticeable and the animalics are present but, like mentioned, not skanky - More like horse hair-ish All in all, very surprised by it, in a very good way and I’m really enjoying wearing it

This. Smells. Like. A. Cookie. But not some abstract perfumey "cookie accord" nonsense. No. This is full-blown cookie realism. We’re talking: Freshly baked. Buttery as hell. Slightly crispy edges. Chewy center. Brown sugar and childhood trauma. I sprayed this and thought my oven turned itself on. I walked past a group of kids and one of them followed me. A man at a bakery asked if I “worked there.” But wait — it doesn’t stop there. The sillage? Nuclear. Like someone dropped a gingerbread nuke. BUT THEN... oh lord. Then it morphs. Around hour 3, the cookie dies. It crumbles. Literally. You can hear the snap in your soul. And what emerges from the sugar smoke is... something dark. Something feral. The Cookie Monster awakens. It’s no longer “Be My Cookie.” It’s: “Be My Instinct. Be My Sweat. Be My Sticky Skin Memory of a Cookie That’s Gone.” The sweet top becomes this gourmand beast, like a brownie with a hidden agenda. Like you got seduced by a pastry demon and now you’re running through a forest in nothing but whipped cream and existential dread. It’s edible. Then it’s animal. It’s inviting. Then it’s invasive. It’s your grandma’s kitchen. Then her house burns down, and the smoke gives you a headache. Should you buy this? Yes, if you’ve ever said “I want to smell like baked goods but also like I could fight God in a scented alley.” 10/10. Would wear to brunch, in school, at work, on public transport — because I lack empathy for people and my surroundings. And yes, I’m definitely wearing this to my grandma’s funeral, as a tribute to her inhaling this beautiful burnt dirty cookie scent as her last breath, while her house blazed behind her in one final attempt at making a sweet treat. Rest in yeast, Grandma. You’d have loved this one.

Definitely a polarizing fragrance, not uncommon for BTSO to do. Right off the bat, love this. It isn't necessarily warm-baked cookies as shown in the marketing, nor is it some kind of porta-potty as many people as making it out to be. To me, it's quite realistically portraying cookies heavily-dipped (and I mean sopping wet) in creamy milk, because I get a very prominent lactonic note. Either that, or my brain visualizes raw. dry cookie dough. I can sense the raspberry when I actively search for it, but when taking a step back and taking the scent in as a whole, it almost seems like the perfumer used raspberry not to add a distinct raspberry note for its own sake, but to amplify another aspect of this fragrance. Again, perhaps it's the raspberry that's oddly mixing with other notes/accords to fatten up that cookie/lactonic smell for me. Now, the same goes for the castoreum. Something just tells me that the perfumer chose this to amplify the core idea of the fragrance, not necessarily trying to go "wow look how stinky we can make cookies haha". So going back to that "raw cookie dough" smell I get, that's when I just relax the thinking part of my brain, take a step back, and experience the scent as a whole. Quite photo-realistic.

Finally got the chance to try this one. After all the reviews and noise surrounding it, I was honestly expecting a disaster. But I kept an open mind and took a sniff without judgment. And guess what? No disaster here! BTSO is a different and outstanding house—of course they weren’t going to create a gourmand without a twist. And this scent is exactly that. It opens sharp and piercing, even a bit overwhelming. Synthetic raspberry hits first, mixed with dark chocolate that’s still cooking, animalic notes peeking through, smoky and ambery, loud and projecting. I get why this stage could feel too much or even off-putting to some—but trust the process. Give it time. The chemistry with your skin will shift it into something truly beautiful: a warm cookie straight from the oven. Now’s the time to mention—Be My Cookie loves body lotion. It projects and melts much better that way, compared to dry skin. This is a very sweet, drippy-sweet perfume. Think baked, warm cookies with gooey chocolate and juicy raspberry. On me, the raspberry lingers all the way to the end and it softens into something more natural and realistic, less synthetic. Performance? 10/10. One for the books—interesting, unique, and with that unmistakable BTSO edge.

I'm in love. I took a risk and wore this for the first time to work a christmas eve shift because i like to live on the edge. The majority of the day it was indeed a smell of cookie with a tinge of raspberry, a lot of melted syrup, and of course a little animal as well. This is not light and delicious, this is a thick, sticky, and kinda boozy situation that's on the sexy and sinfull side as the wearer. Although, my coworker stood a few feet away and said it smells like hubba Bubba. Lol. In my experience this is gourmand heaven with a dark edge, which is just the kind of sweet scent that keeps my interest. If youre like me and like sweets, but get bored without a little something extra, I would 100% sample this. Longevity was pretty strong and lasted a good 7 hours at full strength, and the next morning after a clothing change, I can still smell an airy bit of raspberry (amazing because perfumes never last on my skin). Thumbs up for a long lasting and potent baby.

Skatole is missing, a note is missing... can we all just take a breath?! Let’s bring back the art of actually testing fragrances before jumping to conclusions based on someone else’s opinion or a list of notes! We’re here to share personal experiences—not TikTok hype or viral chatter. For transparency, I haven’t tried Be My Cookie yet, but I deeply appreciate reviewers like MoonQuake who take the time to wear a fragrance and write honest, thoughtful reviews. Let’s remember: adding a note doesn’t automatically define how a fragrance will smell. Perfumery is a complex art form, and behind every creation is a team of talented artists pouring their imagination, expertise, and passion into their work. Let’s respect that effort by giving each fragrance the fair chance it deserves. Thank you...

I just received this order today. This would be my 12th from the brand. This is very gourmand... I see all the reviews saying there is a “skatole” missing on here , but honestly I think BTSO tends to troll with their marketing lol. I dont get any fecal, animalic or poop notes! From the opening I get a berry cookie with caramel , then it dries down to something like Absolute aphrodisiac + narcotic delight . I am picking up on tobacco and boozy , raspberry cookie . I blind bought this and I am not disappointed. This is a very unique gourmand ! So far the longevity and sillage is there after 5 hours(3 sprays). I let my friend smell it and says it smells like a caramel cookie. I will have to give it mine wear time to give it a decent rating.

Lol internet people are so dramatic and performative, where's the poop??? (To those where that line made you offended, are we smelling the same perfume? I got my sample from luckyscent.) First whiff I get real raspberry, like when it's baked into a cookie or pastry, cigarette ashtray and fresh tobacco, which then turns into chocolate chip cookie, and more chocolate. It's actually nice, like a real raspberry chocolate chip cookie, maybe a little dirty but this is BORNTOSTANDOUT so that's expected.

This is a very, very bad cookie, but in a good way. Normally, I dislike sweet, but the skanky & almost boozy edge totally sells it for me. And boy, it's especially lovely during a hot coastal summer, that's when the animal notes feel most beautiful and natural. I wouldn't call it gourmand, unless you feel that way about castoreum. I'd say it leans evening, but I wear it in the day and don't care. Just please, for your sake, do not overspray =E

Y'all are trippin!!! This smells GOOD! It smell like cookies (and not synthetic & cheap cookies) with a musky fur note. But it smells like legit musk - not synthetic. There is ZERO poo. None. But it does have a slight animalic edge. This is a complete LOVE and I am so glad I decided to give it a chance. A lot of the low ratings have to be fake. Give it a try! It gets even better on the dry-down too. Such a cozy gourmand.

Honestly not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It definitely gives rich chocolate chip cookie. You can detect the animalic notes, but it only adds to the richness and depth of the cookie notes. It has great projection and lasts a decent time. I would like it more if the raspberry note wasn't as strong on my skin.

All the people saying this is bad have never smelled it. Smells like raspberry jam smeared on butter cookies. Good projection but poor longevity.

it smells like a broken up chocolate chip cookie on the floor of an indoor swimming pool (i get chlorine lol, maybe from the raspberry + animalistic notes?). in the base, it’s rather airy and vanillay, and has a burnt-like quality like this cookie has been in the oven for too long. paired it with nanatopia in store and it’s quite scrumptious! other person at the same boutique as me sprayed it on a strip and said it smells like something from bath & body works. i saw videos of people calling it “be my arsonist” and be my “dookie”, but ion get any of that. it’s definitely not a bianco latte kind of gourmand, but it has that edge one would expect thinking about BTSO. i also know that they removed the “skatole” note after initially marketing this frag with it. i don’t smell anything resembling shit, so i wouldn’t worry lmao. don’t blind buy though, especially if you can’t handle a darker, animalistic note, because you will find it here, albeit not that poo-y of one. got a sample to play around with along w others before i decide if i want a full bottle or no

Now this is a potent, strong and unique gourmand. It lasts incredibly well and creates a strong strong scent bubble with trail. People will smell those cookies. You will smell them even if your body is covered with a blanket. I do really get a delicious realistic vanilla cookie with raspberry. As for other weird notes on the pyramid, I think they just elevate the scent, add richness, complexity and performance. It can be a bit overwhelming at times and also might smell a bit like tobacco up close, which does slightly annoy me, as at a bit of distance or less overspraying (5 sprays and more) it is way more pleasant to the wearer. Glad to have such a gem in my collection!

I had no idea what I was putting on when I got this sample. Out of the package I thought it was just a nice gourmond fragrance - it smelled like any number of warm vanilla scents tbh. After weeks of it sitting on my frag shelf, I decided to put it on. It was fine, smelled sweet, not my usual scent these days. But then I smelled...vagina? It was so odd. I don't find it offensive, but it really smells like vanilla and then just straight up vagina on me. I have a couple of samples of L'Animal and I found that to be not for me but I feel like it may be along the same line.

This is strange and crazy, but I do NOT hate it. It’s veeeeery animalic but in a good way. Dirty, sweet and sexy! I don’t know who could actually wear it. But if you’re a big fan of castoreum, you would definitely like it. I actually think that it smells better than some of the “popular ones” from this brand hehe My ig: scent.guide

@ comments below, it appears that BTSO took off the skatole note from their announcement posts. anywho, gonna try it soon!

will have to go back to the store and spray it on my skin bc on the test strip all i could smell all day was the cookie and raspberry notes. and i wanted to experience the nasty stuff everyone’s talking abt! i was too much of a baby to spray it on myself after reading all the reviews but for the sake of research.. i will do it. i will say the raspberry note in this is way too overpowering and synthetic while the cookie smells like it was baked with a bunch of expired ingredients or smth idk

To me it smells like cookie flavoured tea. Must be the raspberry giving it some brightness, which is interesting because on my initial application, it smelled like straight up chocolate chip cookie. Interested to see how the dry down goes. Not picking up the gasoline comparison... Edit: dry down is more like a Fruit Creme cookie than chocolate chip. What a ride!

Realistic cookies and more. Faint patchouli or amber or something generic. It's a realistic gourmand, it's not flat or plastic. But it might get boring.
