Innocent and Delicious

In my case, although the dry-down also seems wonderful to me, what left me utterly amazed was the opening. Without even looking at the notes, the opening reminded me a lot of some sour strawberry chewing gum I used to have as a child, fruity, with the acidity of lime and a certain minty sensation. Since strawberry is not listed, I understand it must be lychee, which, combined with other notes, creates that click in my brain. It's a scent that transported me directly back to my childhood and made me think: I want to smell like this every day for the rest of my life. About half an hour later, the fragrance matures and enters its adult phase, transforming into a more serious and sophisticated scent, although it doesn’t lose its sweetness and gourmand character. The dry-down is mainly a nicely pink cotton candy, mixed with whipped cream and caramel. But all of this is very well blended, making it long-lasting on the skin but not at all over-the-top. It has a moderate projection and it is an incredibly versatile perfume. Although it goes straight onto my wish list, it is true that it won’t be one of the first to enter my collection, since in the dry-down it behaves quite similarly to a perfume I already have, which I also adore: Sweet xplosion by Lorenzo Pazzaglia. It’s a scent that I think works great for carefree and fun moments, for going out partying, for having dinner with friends, or even for more intimate moments. I don’t really see it as elegant enough to be worn with a suit or very formal attire, although, when it comes to taste, there’s no right or wrong and usually it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing but how you wear it and what you pair it with. Of course, I recommend trying it for any lover of gourmand perfumes. I’m 99.999999% sure you’re going to love it. Another incredibly good work by Flavius Calaj.

At first glance I was disappointed by the quality of the bottle. The picture on the bottle looks like it was made by AI, and the cap is made out of rubber. But then I sprayed it... The atomizer is beautifully pressurized and the smell is just fenomenal... The opening hit me right in the nose with chewing gum-like mint and extreme softness. Damn it was beautiful in the air, but on skin it's even better! It's really as soft as cotton candy. Just imagine getting mint cotton candy, but add creaminess and a ton of something very comforting. It's sweet, but not overly sweet. It would be very suitable for spring day or summer night. If comfort sweetness had a smell- it would smell like this fragrance.

LOVE 😍 I'm biting into a dark green gumball fresh from the machine and I have zero worries in life. This is the first perfume I've found that is nostalgic for me. I was very excited for this sample to arrive with the crazy ingredient list and it all comes together perfectly into an actual gumball for me. The dry down is milky minty sugars. I'm obsessed. 1000/10! A little context-- I am a huge mint fan and sweets lover (mint n chip is my jam). My husband hates it and says it smells like citrus and aftershave so I will not be buying a full bottle. I love that the bottle is embossed too. Luckily it does play close to the skin so I can still wear it sometimes without offending anyone.

This is something exciting!! Not your generic boring Citrus!! The opening is divine! The mint a note that is difficult to use in perfumery is just the correct quantity! Just a drop but it adds that " je ne sais quoi" element. The creaminess,the sweetness is just perfect! Not too strong not too weak. Again just perfect! This for me personally is the best from Calaj house,I have a few in my collection all lovely and interesting but this is a real real gem! Bravo Calaj 💋 and to that person that said the bottle looks cheap, ABSOLUTELY not! Calaj bottles are quality!!

this is such a sexy citrus. at first i thought it reminded me of a generic fresh citrus floral hairspray or shampoo but after continuous sniffing i picked up on the depth and noted a hint of spiciness to it. i picked this up a while ago not remembering exactly what was in here but after reviewing the notes i can see the caramel lime sugar may be coming off warm and almost floral plus the minty milk is coming off spicy

This is a big love for me! Such a unique fragrance! Someone said that the name suits it perfectly and I absolutely agree. The opening has a minty touch, but it doesn't overwhelm. It feels soft and quickly melts into the middle and base notes. The composition is beautifully balanced, inoffensive and exudes quality.

FB’d this immediately after running out of my luckyscent sample. Worth the niche price imo because it’s original, unique, and develops throughout hours of wear. Great addition to my summer fragrance line-up as i’m looking for scents that AREN’T tropical/beachy/sunscreen-y 🙃

This is sweet & refreshing! Smells like cool, minty cotton candy or bubblegum (depending on how you perceive it) but it’s not overpoweringly sweet with the addition of the lime & lychee. Light & whimsical for the summer. Dry down is super cozy. I love this :)

Innocent and Delicious by Calaj – 9/10 Such a unique and interesting gourmand. The milk note is soft but definitely there, and it’s blended so well. The performance is great too. If you’re into creamy sweet perfumes, I really recommend trying it.

I got a sample of this fragrance, and I've got to say I'M IN LOVE. I've been trying to find a good minty gourmand fragrance - like mint ice cream - and this was perfect on me. I prefer it over You or Someone Like You in terms of mint fragrances.

I love it, got the 10ml from their website and enjoying it so much. Very balanced , sweet & fresh, not cloying at all. Sooo delicious, it reminds me of pink orbit gum + vanilla ice cream.

I love this 😍 Very creamy and sweet but with a bit of freshness from lime and mint. So unique and different yet totally wearable, but you must love sweet perfumes.

I have nothing like this, the mint in this blends with the lactonic and sweet notes so beautifully . It is unique and pretty! This is absolutely FBW.

I only have a sample from Luckyscent and I usually try not review based on that small of a size. But this is unique and enjoyable in the heat. The milk tames everything, even the sweetness but doesn't smell like milky vanilla, making this very wearable. At first I thought this was going to be an art project, so to speak, but for all the heavy notes this wafts around you perfectly. Like a mint julep or mojito mocktail with added milk to take the acid off the lime. It also tames some of the sweetness. If this came in 10-15 ml sizes I'd buy it just to have but I have so many fragrances, it would just get lost. I'm glad to have smelled it though and if you're in the market for something refreshing and that you don't smell on everyone else, try this.

This is lovely! It reminds me of something familiar, something from my childhood; I think 'Innocent and Delicious' is an spot on name for this perfume. it's sweet but not cloying, I think the milk makes it so smooth and beautiful, it's like pink bubblegum and cotton candy and everything sweet you used to love as a child The longevity and silage are okay if you're not into beast fragrances, I honestly would have love this to project a little bit more, but I can't really complain I'll keep on testing this to decide if it's full bottle-worthy for me :)

This is such a nostalgic smell of Florida frozen lemonade summers and mint ice cream. It’s a bit of a strange combo, but it works so well! It’s creamy, minty, and fruity. It’s like a frozen berry limeade smoothie. I will say the mint is a *tad* toothepaste-y. This did not last too long on me, but it’s a yummy different gourmand!

This smells like the freshest, cleanest coconut you will ever smell. Gorgeous.

I was so excited for this fragrance but found it a huge disappointment. I bought this blindly because I was sure I’d love it, based solely on the notes. I love creamy scents and mint notes in a perfume, but didn’t get either here. It just didn’t come across to me as it seems to from others reviews. I’m surprised by the high rating because I really disliked this scent. The only thing this reminded me of was the smell of toilet water. That scent you smell when you’re hanging over a toilet feeling unwell. A weird association but maybe it was the lime note, or maybe I just got a bad batch. I really wanted to love this, but it was a quick declutter for me.

This is my first Calaj fragrance, truly unique and original. It smells like a fresh juicy mint cocktail, as it sits on the skin it sweetens. Safe blind buy, but I don’t recommend you buy based on other people’s impressions. This perfume is perfect for summer and any kind of summer vacations.

Melted, sticky mint chip ice cream. This is so interesting and a little bizarre. The dry down is beautiful. The opening with the mint note is STRONG. Not bad, just strong.
