Sweet Carousel

On my skin Sweet Carousel is a wonderful gourmand: pink cotton candy and vanilla scented powdered sugar, absolutely stunning. The opening is a cloud of berry flavoured cotton candy, then this shy powdered almond comes forward (slightly bitter, delicious). A strong vanilla base stays during the whole journey. Vanillic and almondy powdered sugar is what comes to my mind with this fragrance. Compared to Chia, that's sitting on my other arm, Sweet Carouse is a bit more gourmand and a bit less powdery, but they're basically twins. Chia is slightly more bitter, less edible, more talc and sand. When I'll empty my Chia bottle, I will totally replace it with this one, that I might even like more. A noticeable ecception to the "reformulation scare" trend! Safe blind buy if you like sweet powdery scents (not the violet - iris type, more the baby talc powder type), absolutely perfect for everyday and office friendly.

This is more of a skin scent on me but it’s very nice. It’s not extremely sweet as I assumed it would be, which means it’s probably work safe too. It doesn’t remind me of Pink Sugar. I didn’t like that one. All in all, a pleasant inoffensive scent. Still, I only need one scent that’s like a fun fair and that is Shay and Blue Salt Caramel for me. I love the sweetness with the saltiness in that one.

Sweet Carousel took me back in time to when, during village festivals, the air was filled with delicious aromas: roasted and sugared almonds that I loved so much. It's not a cloying fragrance, I find it very pleasant, it brings a smile, and I don't find it too simple either, but skilfully elaborated. Pretty. Ideal for autumn or winter

I’m so happy to find this! Chia was one of my most beloved perfumes. It is discontinued and is impossible to find, even on EBay and other resale sites. This perfume is so similar that I can happily switch to this. I’m surprised the notes don’t mention powder as this is a powdery scent to me.

The name Sweet Carousel fits perfectly! This is a sweet confectionary fragrance. Notes of cotton candy, candied almonds and powdered vanilla sugar. I tried Chia and didn't like it, but this one I absolutely love! Definitely for gourmand lovers like me. I can't wait to get a full bottle.
