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.

From the first spray, Sugar Addict pulls me into a world of pure indulgence. The caramelized sweetness is bold yet addictive, like walking into a pastry shop where vanilla, burnt sugar, and a hint of spice fill the air. It’s playful but with an edge—never cloying, just perfectly balanced. On my skin, the dry down turns into a warm, cozy embrace, making it impossible to stop sniffing my wrist. If you love ultra-gourmand scents with personality, this one is a must-try!

At first I wasn’t impressed. Just another boozy vanilla, nothing remarkable. Still I gave it a proper chance and to my surprise it became my most complimented fragrance. Someone had something nice to say every time I entered a room. And after a few wears my opinion changed completely. There’s a certain magic to this scent, undeniably sexy and intoxicating. It's warm and sweet with just the right touch of bitterness (espresso or dark chocolate?). A true stunner!

A Porzellanfläschchen birgt den Geist dieses vollkommenen Süßigkeiten-Erlebnisses! Zwischen süßen, knusprig-trockenen Noten haucht der Zimt seine zauberhafte Wärme in diese ansonsten äußerst komplexe Komposition, und das süße Rumaroma, tief und mit einem charakteristischen Aroma, das in den Emotionen eine bedeutende Spur hinterlässt, verleiht ihr Genuss. Ergänzt wird dies durch Kakao und Kaffee. Es gibt nichts anderes, nur die perfekt ausgewogene süße Freude!

This scent is unreal. I love it so much. It smells like the dry ingredients when you’re baking a cake... Powdered sugar, sugar, hint of cinnamon, pinch of salt. And then there’s a couple magical ingredients I can’t put my fingers on, but I love them It’s just heavenly. It’s sweet while still FLUFFY and somewhat fresh. Lasting power is incredible as well. I tried a couple dozen fragrances today at Scent Bar and it outlasted all of them.

I love this scent. It really reminds me of the 2017 version of Vanille Fatale by Tom Ford. It has a very sugary, sweet vanilla with notes of cinnamon, cacao, tonka, and a subtle hint of coffee. If you’re someone who loved the older batches of Vanille Fatale, especially the 2017 version, I think you’ll really enjoy this one. I’ve also tried the 2024 Vanille Fatale, and in my opinion, it was a big miss compared to the older version.

I love this fragrance! opens up like an airy sugar bomb, and drys down to a sugary candy. Not really much else to say i mean the name says it all, it's just sugary sweet all the way through but in a very very good way. Usually sweet fragrances give me headaches but the way this is blended makes it super smooth and easy to wear. It is for sure a unisex fragrance. 8.5/10, wish it was cheaper.

reminds me of a soft boozy gingerbread. so good, I definitely recommend if you like spicy scents, its a lot more approachable in the boozy note than some other scents and the sweetness is subdued. a really good unisex perfume too, the kind that's extremely attractive. reminds me of jazz bars or nighttime Christmas walks. would probably layer well with tobacco.

I absolutely love this; I only tried it once before I became addicted to it immediately (which is funny because initial reaction was...meh. But then it grew on me. And grew!) This is insanely expensive and today I just got a sample of Brooklyn Bee and discovered...it's the same perfume. Like literally identical. And 1/3 the price. Well darn.

As a sweet-gourmand fragrance lover, I loved this scent. This is not that unique scent, I just said from the first smell that this smells like escapade gourmand. They are sooo similar if you like that scent try this out too. Its also like kayali 28, kinda angels share vibes, bianco latte, amore caffee. Loved thissss.

Finally got this one in. It is warm. Sweet. Woody. Powdered sugar. Simple yet hard to explain. I love it. Absolutely back up bottle worthy Unfortunately 50mls is priced little over 200... $205 USD to be exact plus a 10% discount code... seems just a bit too steep to be honest. .

The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 as a fragrance. I smell this and can immerse myself in the thought of being overtaken by hot rushing brown sugar sludge and slowly suffocating as molasses fills and thickens in my nose and throat. Delightful!!!

I don't understand the negative. This is such a beautiful fragrance. I know everyone's noses interpret fragrances differently but this is one of my top 10 for life perfumes. It also lasts so long.

Sugar Addict has the dustiness of hardened cube sugar snuck from a bank waiting room when you were too little for coffee. I like this in spite of myself and keep coming back for more.

Warm and spicy sweet gourmand, with notes of caramel and chocolate. This smells like an elegant night out. It’s boozy and luxurious and oh so sweet. You will smell good enough to eat.

This truly live up to its name for me as it became quite addicting! The vanilla, rum, coffee and cinnamon is dancing on my skin with this one! 🙏🏼
