My Melody

Simple and sweet, very gourmand, it smells just like what it says, an almond pound cake. The almond note smells just like the almond flavoring/extract my grandmother uses in her sugar cookies. Sillage and longevity are soft but present, typical of an eau de cologne spray. Looks adorable sitting on my dresser among my fancier perfumes, I think the bottle/label has kind of a 70s little girl vibe (of course My Melody and Hello Kitty came out in the 70s and were popular with girls then too!) This would be a perfect cute, inexpensive gift for a little girl who likes Sanrio or is just getting into perfume. Or a lady who likes Sanrio and perfume!

For me, this scent is relatively pleasant. I don't find this scent sweet at all. But I must agree that the scent is rather sexy! Did not like it at first, but started to like it after a few sprays! Try this if you're sick of sweet fragrances!

mmmmmmm. delicious buttery almond cake. sweet, but the nuttiness mellows it out.

This is a very weird scent for a fragrance. It smells like a spice you'd use to cook with. Might be nice in candle form but not something I'd want on my skin!

A simple little fragrance, very sweet to my nose (but I am not a gourmand fragrance lover). It smelled like melted vanilla ice-cream with a hint of caramel, and a splash of Frangelico. Dessert-like and pleasant, this was neither offensive nor memorable. I imagine for the “fragrance mixologists” who enjoy layering different fragrances to create a unique effect, this simple, sweet fragrance could be a useful ingredient. Sillage was low, longevity about 2-3 hours.

I finally realized what this smells like. It's Amaretto. The opening is super boozy and it mellows to a very buttery almond + vanilla. It's so gourmand I'm not sure I could leave the house wearing it. That's just me though. Most of my sweet fragrances have some dirt in them (patchouli, leather, tobacco). If you dream of smelling like sweet liqueur and butter cookies this is the fragrance for you.
