Birthday Cake

I can see why some people would not like this, however this is exactly the type of scent I was looking for. If you're buying this hoping for a white/yellow cake note and a buttercream frosting, you would not like this. This is a cupcake note(light creamy vanilla frosting from the store)and a healthy dusting of powdered cocoa note. There's also a sprinkles note(slightly fruity/possibly floral sugar) that is very very strong. When you first spray it, there an initial blast of the cupcake, then it dries down to a creamy cocoa dusted vanilla with sugar sprinkles. The cocoa note in here is distinctly powdered cocoa, and I love that a lot. I do however recommend getting this in the oil format over the spray because the initial alcohol blast of the spray is a little off putting with the sugar note. I like this a lot because it actually smells like childhood to me, that soft creamy cocoa like swiss miss powdered hot chocolate, pink frosted cupcakes, and rainbow sugar sprinkles. and it has just enough complexity to be interesting.

I LOVE this scent. It really does smell like the name, and is fun for daytime. However, I will not buy it for myself until they improve both the longevity and the sillage.

REALLY want this one!! I wont be buying this for over $15 though unless they improve longevity. After about 15 sprays of Demeter fragrances I can only smell them for about 20 minutes and then I have to spray more on. Its not that I am use to it by then nobody else smells it either. Even when you put your nose to my skin! crappy longevity, crappy sillage, and crappy bottle design. EDIT: Bought this for $4 and really dont like it. it smells like chocolate spit at first, then its kinda nice, but I may be swapping this or something.

I want to love gourmands, but many of them are too strong and headache-inducing for me. Birthday Cake was a nice surprise, though, as I can actually tolerate it. I was also surprised that chocolate is such a prominent note - I guess this is because I prefer vanilla cake and always asked for vanilla as opposed to chocolate for my own birthdays growing up. The chocolate cake of this fragrance is pleasant, though, and it gives me a warm feeling. I’d probably prefer this scent as a candle, but I can totally see why some would wear this as a perfume.

This wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. Opens as a super sweet smell, but there's also a synthetic note that reminds me of scented markers. During the dry down I got something that reminds me of powdered hot cocoa. It's definitely very sweet, but I wanted the smell of a warm cake fresh from the oven. Instead, it feels a bit more like cake flavored candy or frosting with an artificial note
