Sugar Addict

Boozy. Sweet. Cinnamon-y. There’s something I like about it sooooo much. BORNTOSTANDOUT released their body care line and I had no choice but to get the Drunk Lovers set and on a whim I got the Sugar Addict body wash. I’d never smelled Sugar Addict before, but recently I’ve been trying scents that I normally wouldn’t go for with surprising results. This got me. I have to be careful with alcohol accords in things. Sometimes they get kind of strange (oud symphony from precious liquid, I initially like it, but it gets headache-y after a few hours). Whatever they use in Sugar Addict, is the same kind of alcoholic accord that they use Drunk Lovers (which I own and love) even though it’s ‘rum’ in this versus it being ‘cognac’ in Drunk Lovers. As a bartender, I’m familiar with what actual booze smells like, and I can’t say if this is truly what rum smells like, but it does have a very boozy thing going on that I enjoy. It’s more rock candy as opposed to a crème brûlée, but I’m into it. The only sharp edge in this is the cinnamon, and I can really notice it the entire time I wear it. It’s interesting that there isn’t a bergamot or lemon to start the journey. Using cinnamon in the top makes for a very different end result. It’s still vanilla and sweet but not as much as you’d think something called Sugar Addict would be. The body wash and lotion made me want to try the actual scent so I got the little red 15ml bottle and I fear that was a mistake. I’m going to try this under all my other scents and that poor little 15ml is essentially already gone. I think if you like sweet stuff you’ll enjoy this, and if you typically don’t like sweet stuff you’ll enjoy this.

I straight up LIVE to smell like a big sugar lump that's been dunked in cinnamon and drizzled with caramel and hit with a torch. This is that. And I am happy. My absolute favorite gourmand in the world is A Whiff of Waffle Cone (both editions). Sugar Addict is very, very similar to the 2nd edition of Waffle Cone - so much so that you probably don't need both unless you're like me and you have an insatiable sweet tooth. Waffle cone is a little warmer and toastier while Sugar Addict is a tiny bit more cinnamony and sugar dusted. Both give the exact same vibe, though. I love this. A lot. 10/10!

wore this for the first time to go clubbing, and was throughly impressed! on my skin, it’s more boozy than anything else, the sugar also very noticeable which results in a really sexy warmth. to me, this is a party girl perfume: she’s sultry and enticing. definitely a compliment getter, and it did lure in men, which wasn’t the intention but was interesting none the less. if you are looking for something to mix with your sweat while you dance your heart out at night, this is it!! the projection lasted 2 hours, and the fragrance remained strong throughout the whole night, 8 hours.

this is an ultra sweet sugar dusted vanilla scent elevated by a smooth rum, warm cinnamon and creamy cashmere. The tonka bean adds some creaminess here and the coffee is only slightly noticeable, a background note of roasted coffee beans. I don’t really get any labdanum which is a good thing bc I typically don’t enjoy it, it’s mostly just a spicy and warm vanilla with booziness and creamy accords. I do think the name may be a tad bit misleading bc there’s more than just sugar here, it’s very warm and spiced and even slightly woody.

Extremely sweet, but more refined than just cotton candy or pure white sugar. Think boozy, rum, vanilla, cinnamon, burnt sugar, creme brulee, sweet, sophisticated. Started with a 1.5ml sample and it lasted a long time, as the scent is very strong. It doesn't get annoying at all to me, if anything, it becomes more delectable the longer I wear it. I don't think I'd risk wearing this in the office. Would possibly pick this up if it was on discount, but probably not for full price.
