Sparkling Sugar

When I first tried Sparkling Sugar all I could think of was Clean Reserve's Radiant Nectar. It felt so close in memory that I could have sworn they were nearly identical. As the day wore on it started to feel less and less like Radiant Nectar and like a sweet Dylan Purple. Eventually the sweetness dies down and I swear it smells nearly identical to Dylan Purple. I tested out spraying the 3 and I have to say Sparkling Sugar and Radiant Nectar feel like similar DNA - though Sparkling more like a berry peach white sugar, and Nectar more like a pear brown sugar. Nectar keeps the sweet brown sugarness on the die-down for me, while Sparkling Sugar is more of a fruity musk that almost entirely matches Dylan Purple. I think my biggest frustration with all 3 is that they're so short lasting. Sparkling Sugar seems like the best preforming for me, but even then I'm getting 3-4 hours if I do some heavy-handed spraying. Radiant Nectar seems to last 2-3 hours, and Dylan Purple lasts a hilarious 30minutes to an hour max. I have fairly oily skin which holds perfume pretty well so I was pretty surprised at the poor performance of all 3. The sillage is pretty close to the skin and intimate, which I don't mind, but could see it being frustrating combined with the poor longevity. Overall I'm happy and am keeping the bottle, and would highly recommend to anyone who loves Dylan Purple but is frustrated they can't even get an hour out of it.

I feel like whether or not you like this one is going to be heavily dependent on how the musk in this reacts to your skin. For me this is a wonderful fruity musk that doesn’t smell overly synthetic or shampoo like, and I get wafts of it still an insanely long time after I apply it (I’m talking I put it on before bed yesterday at 11p and I got wafts of this over my sotd at around 7p today once I started moving around and my body heated up a bit) but I just KNOW that it will smell synthetic on some people and it probably won’t perform well on a lot of people either. Basically this isn’t one you should try to blind buy, get a sample or a decant/travel spray and actually wear it for a day or two before you decide. I would advise that for every fragrance but ESPECIALLY anything from this brand. This also layers amazingly over top of so many fragrances, I’ve layered this with gentle fluidity gold, La belle, vanilla 28, CR Skin, br540 (regular and extrait) and a few other random vanillas I have samples of and it’s smelled great EVERY TIME. I think this may very well turn into my signature scent

So glad to have gotten this as a free sample; this is a sugary candy smell done just right for my tastes! It's fresh and bright, not at all heavy. I almost get hints of citrus? Probably a little sour note from the peach if I had to guess. It's a fun, happy-go-lucky kind of scent, then turns into a gorgeous, sweet powdery skin scent after ~5 hours. Personally I think it'd be great in cold or warm weather. I have a lot of trouble with sweet, candy-like scents, but this one doesn't read medicinal or juvenile at all to me, both of which tend to happen. I initially thought this wasn't a scent I'd pay full price for, but... I absolutely cannot stop wearing it. If I couldn't find a deal, I would absolutely pay the price, even if I'd hate myself for it lol. It's just that pretty! (edit: take Glossier You, replace the pink pepper with peach, and that's Sparkling Sugar! I'm very surprised I don't see the comparison more often because they remind me of each other so much.)

This is literally the ideal clean girl fragrance in my opinion! It may be simple, but I think the mixture of notes makes it more complex and expensive smelling than something you can find at a cheaper price point. I have both Radiant Nectar and GIAW and I don't see the resemblance. I think this is different enough to stand on its own. I have been looking for a clean gourmand for so long, and this finally made my dreams come true. On my skin, I feel like gourmands go "dirty" in the dry down, especially when I get sweaty. Sparkling Sugar does not have the same effect, and instead makes me feel even cleaner after wear. It also has this comforting and soft effect that calms me. I'm a medical student and I find that this is one of the only fragrances that I can wear to clinic or in the hospital setting without being offensive. I absolutely love this!

I reviewed this not long ago, but I have to come back again to say that this is so good that it's ruining other perfumes for me. 9 times out of 10 lately when I wear something else, I think to myself that I wish I was wearing THIS perfume instead. The sparkly opening is already bright and beautiful, a nice balance of sweet and sour fruitiness... but that clean, powdery-sweet, musky dry down is positively ADDICTING. That's what makes this really shine to me. It's so hard for me to find sweet/fruity scents that don't come off as juvenile (or generic, though I don't mind that as much) but this one doesn't at all. It's just... perfect. I wish the silage was better (especially for the price), but other than that I can't think of a single complaint or anything I would change. I could see this becoming my signature scent for sure.

I just went to this big Sephora and I swear I sprayed and tried out almost EVERYTHING there. This was the one I walked away with locked in my head. It’s such a beautiful scent, it reminds me abit of the erba pura this super fruity scent profile with the only difference being this peach note that’s so addicting. Right after dowsing myself in this I went to Canada post to pick up a package and one worker in shoppers told me I smelled really good and one of them asked I write it down on a piece of paper. That boosted my likeness to this scent even more cause I’m guessing others can find that it smells really good. It lasts and projects for about 2 hours but it dies down to a skin scent at 2/3 hours after spraying. Still, in my opinion this scent is the absolute best from the whole clean reserve line. im so glad I ran into it!

Sparkling sugar is Clean's fruity version of their Skin perfume - less gourmand, a little peppier! I love that this fragrance has an effervescent-ness to it - a little like a sparkling fruit juice. There's a juicy, sweet, fruity opening. Most of the fruitiness melts away after an hour or so and I'm left with a clean musk, which I enjoy because it layers very well. This doesn't last super long and sits close to the skin. If you have Clean Reserve's Radiant Nectar, this is a little redundant in mood and occasion to warrant purchase of both. I'm wearing this in the winter, because of the "sparkling" quality of it - I feel like it's maybe suited to fall as well because it warms up as it sits on the skin, but it is primarily a spring/summer fragrance in my opinion.

fruity but clean! super easy, effortless, non offensive daily choice! i like this the most out of their regular reserve line, next to skin. really does give me a simplified version floating by liis and other liis fragrances. in the way that they are minimalist, transparent, and clean but not soapy at all. i kinda love, side by side on dry down, floating settles like a white peach and more dewy, airy, aldehydic musky, whereas sparkling sugar retains a bit more of that tanginess of the blackcurrant. both settle into a sweet, soft musk. floating is more interesting for sure, which makes sense, but sparkling sugar gives a similar atmosphere in passing, though it does give a sort of shampoo/hairspray.

I tested this yesterday at work and wow. It was incredible. I kept thinking that the scent came from the customer I was dealing with only to realize with delight that it was from my own wrist. I would describe this as an overly burnt marshmallow, but in a good way. It smells like sweet musky bonfire, but in a really good way!! I don't get peach at all, and I really don't agree with it being more suitable for spring-summer, to me it's maaaybe a summer night, but I'm more leaning towards autumn/winter. Also, the longevity is reaaallly good to be a Clean perfume. All-in-all I'm excited to see how long it will be before I have to add it to my collection.

Never have I been a person to see something with the word "sugar" in it and think Wow! I must have this! No I would run farther away, especially for scents. My whole world view changed when I got this is as a sample. ADDICTIVE. I had to roll it all over my body I couldn't get enough. It's sweet, yet not syrupy, soft yet head turning, has a whimsical nuance of being young yet suitable for mature women. Masterpiece of fresh & gourmand like the bottle states. Who knew that was a thing? I personally see this as a spring/summer scent because it is pure sunshine and happiness. Anyways, I bought it.

As a lover of heavy and gourmand perfumes, this is so opposite but it's f*cking great! So sorry I didn't try this earlier. First spray is sparkly, fruity and sweet and then it dries down to a clean sheet smell. Perfect for after shower, before bed, in the summer, in the office or God forbid gym (if you need to wear something in the gym except deodorant don't, but this could be go to). Loving this! Doesn't last long, but that's the whole point of this perfume. May be my new go to in the summer. All the clean girlies would love this. Price is phenomenal. 10/10 easily.

mmmm! Sweet, fruity, and delicious! The name definitely fits this. A clean, juicy, slightly sugary scent that smells amazing on the skin. I received this as a sample, but I would not mind having a full bottle of this, I think it's so pretty. And the price point isn't really bad as well. This would be such an easy every day reach for the spring or summer months. This is also highly inoffensive, I couldn't see anybody getting mad at this or thinking that it's overbearing. This smells like peach slushies and rainwater hitting a fruit garden. I love it!!!

Wow, I am pleasantly surprised by this one! I don't like too much sweetness, and I figured something with "sugar" in the name was going to be no bueno for me, especially after its cousin Skin Reserve was too sweet for me. But it's a balanced sweetness in this case! Feels like you just had a shower with a nice fruity shampoo. I think this is a light, everyday springtime fragrance, and office friendly as it's not terribly loud. I typically prefer something more unisex, but I can see myself spritzing this on when I'm feeling femme.

This is a wonderfully light and airy fragrance. It's fruity and sweet at first spray, like peach-infused sugar water or dewy peaches on a summer morning. The white florals and musk help to balance the sweetness and give it more body. The peach is there for most of the wear before leaving you with a saccharine skin scent. This perfume is very refreshing and somewhat intimate. Not very complex but beautiful in its simplicity. The longevity is about 6-7 hours on me and the sillage is moderate.

I found a 100ml bottle for $50 at Marshall's, it was actually a blind buy. I LOVE this frag. It's sweet and fruity at first, but quickly turns into a soapy, aldehydic, pleasant skin scent. It doesn't throw super far, which makes it a great "every day, wear anywhere" fragrance. The longevity is actually great for the price point. I can still smell it on my skin at the end of the day. I usually don't like aldehydes, but the sugar accord and fruitiness softens it quite a bit. I'm hooked.

I love this scent, and it sticks around on me forever. It is very clean-smelling to me and did give me a headache the first time I wore it, but I liked it so much that I risked wearing it again, and I'm good with it now, even overspraying like I normally do. I know some people have performance issues with this, but this will get me through a full workday, and I never have to go searching for the scent. I love this, and it's on the cusp of being a signature scent for me.

I bought this randomly lol I noticed that Sephora has this delivery same day from your local store and we’ve only had a Sephora for a few short months and so I shopped anything in stock I could get say day under fifty dollars lol there wasn’t much so I got this and I’m glad I did. It’s really sweet, but not in a bad way, it’s fruity, i would have thought it was more for cold Weather but it’s definitely a year round gem ! Great buy!

An Avon catalogue from 90s I am millennial and this perfume brings a lot of memories from childhood. Maybe I am conservative, but I believe this perfume is not mature, it would be perfect on a young girl/ woman as it is sweet and mostly smell like youth. I would definitely go for this perfume if I would be 18 again. But maybe that would be the good option for a mature woman using it on the beach days. That would work for sure.

I absolutely love Radiant Nectar and Liis Studied, but both my bottles went bad in less than 6 months. I bought this one, because it seemed kinda similar. Same thing happened, started to smell weird less than 6 months, fresh juicy peach and airyness is gone. It's a bit nauseating, thick and syrupy, nothing like it used to be. I'm beyond mad, because these kind of DNA's are my favorite ones. Easy reach and signature worthy.

Unexpectedly love this perfume. I don’t like Skin or Radiant Nectar and typically don’t love offerings from this house. I got a free sample from Sephora and really love it as an every day, light, clean and sweet perfume. It sort of falls into the same category as Glossier You - except sweeter and fruitier. Easy to wear, light, and effortless you but better kind of smell. Kind of has a creamy spun sugar accord.
