Sweet On The Outside

lovechild of nemat's vanilla musk & viva vanilla by b&bw (if u r a hater of b&bw like me, walk w me 🤝) . to my nose , i get vanilla, marshmallow , smoke , & musk . and a subtle whisper of cacao .. i wish the cacao note was a bit more prominent . i also weirdly get plum from this fragrance bc it heavily reminds me of mod vanilla & viva vanilla .. but its not fruity ... ??? so weird . anyway either way BEST "drugstore" (i got this from target lol) body mist i've ever purchased - however sillage + longevity is absolute CHEEKS 😭😭 the audacity of finery to allow this fragrance to bless my olfactory system then 7 mins later when i go for a second sniff be GONE ???? sickening 😞 literally 7 mins in heaven bc this scent is DELICIOUS .. delicious , edible , n intoxicating without smelling like literal food (i still love foodie gourmands tho .. those r my roots 🌱) i just wish it LASTED 😭😭 i just bought this body mist like 3 days ago and i've prolly sprayed it about 600 times since then and my bottle STILL isnt even halfway used yet . i wish this perfume was alcoholless so i could spray it all over .. or a perfume oil .. omg . all i know is i except to be able to buy this body mist when im 90 years old .. yall bet not discontinue this EVER .. thank ya🤝🤝🙂↕️

I just got this in the mail today and it's lovely. I can't speak on the longevity or anything just yet. I have read reviews that said this is a dupe for TF Tobacco Vanille. It is absolutely NOT a dupe. Not even close to my nose! It IS however, an exact dupe to Eilish IMO. Since this was a blind buy, I can say I am definitely happy to have it in my collection! Edit: Just to add to my brief review above, this has a slightly sourish scent. I don't mean that in a bad way! I smell the same not immediately in Eilish (1) as well. I don't have to most experienced nose in the world so I don't know what note it is. It's exactly why I feel it's a very good dupe. I just compared them side to side with my Eilish itty bitty bottle. I feel like it's in the same "family" as Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth (the orig.). It has that sort of creamy somewhat marshmallow scent. I am waiting for the full drydown see if I get what others seem to get most often with this one. I am impressed with the strength of this fragrance. I def does not have a cheap "feel". It doesn't smell like pure alcohol nor a body spray (I have the perfume version). I think it's quite a little gem!!

Recently obtained the EDP version at a discounted price. As a male, I do have a special place in my heart for the warm, comforting embrace of a well-made vanilla fragrance. Sweet On The Outside is a very well-blended vanilla with a great sweet, yet sultry whisper of smokiness. I would absolutely characterize this as a “unisex” fragrance, but can understand why some (female) reviewers state it leans too far masculine.... because thats one of the factors that drew me to it to begin with. It has good longevity & is very well crafted for the price point. Its pretty linear, and the above listed notes are indeed an accurate representation of the fragrance which remains quite linear throughout its duration. I own several vanilla fragrances, and this one is great on its own or layered. Very pleased with the quality for the price point! The Verdict: EXCELLENCE!!

on my skin its an exact dupe for eilish by billie eilish (the 1st one) and it smells sooo good. the only slight difference is the red berry note but it literally smells the same to me. obviously the projection isn’t too intense which is great. but i can really smell it on myself just walking around and it does definitely have some good projection and silage (around arms length or with closer contact with people) which i think is great for the low price. i got this because i returned eilish because it didn’t have any silage or longevity on me and this one does:) smells super cozy like a warm vanilla blanket, definitely a compliment getter and your s/o will love it on you too. not too sweet or smoky either. just buy it, its so good. if you really wanna make the scent last get the matching body spray with it or layer it with a lotion.

I’m in love with this fragrance. I detect vanilla from beginning to end, and it lasts several hours. I notice notes of tonka, very soft woods (maybe cedar), and sugar. It lands eventually smelling akin to a creamery—waffle cone with rich vanilla ice cream. Thankfully, I don’t ever smell the smoke note, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are tiny amounts of gardenia and cardamom. Although, I like Eilish, I have teen children in my house, and I knew they wouldn’t appreciate me using a bottle with the bare female form (“Ugh, mom, why?! Please don’t use that in front of my friends!” etc. 😆). **Note about Finer’y: the body mists just don’t do the fragrances justice on their own. Fine for layering or refreshing, but the first two scents I purchased, I got the mist first. I immediately returned for the perfume.

I have worn many popular and expensive perfumes and I have received the most compliments on this one by far. Good for a budget and lasts FOREVER. I'll go to do laundry a week after spraying it onto an article of clothing that's been sitting under dirty clothes and I can still smell it. Despite its longevity, I never find it to be too overpowering of a scent no matter how generously I apply it - it just lasts and smells great. I usually do not gravitate towards sweeter scents, but the pairing with woody fragrances (which I do prefer) combined with the compliments I get led me to repurchase this multiple times and use as my everyday scent. Works better in the winter/fall, but I find myself still wearing it in the spring and summer and it doesn't feel out of place.

Similar to Eilish, but with no spice or fruit. It's a really nice and sweet, slightly smoky vanilla. It's simple but IMO a beautiful blend of all the listed notes. This was one of the first things I bought when I was starting to get into fragrances and it has remained one of my favorites ❤️ I feel like it fits my vibe and being so affordable I reach for it very often. Admittedly though, it is a bit lacking in depth, at least in the body mist. There's not much body to it and sometimes it strikes me as a little flat or watered down. It's definitely not a creamy, lactonic vanilla. That being said I still love it. I haven't smelled the perfume in a while because all I had was a tiny sample bottle, but I feel like it had some more depth compared to the mist.

I blind bought 6/9 of the collection based on notes that I generally like and I thinnnk this is my favorite of the bunch. I don’t have Eilish, but for me this is a perfect vanilla! I’ve been looking for a standard vanilla like this for a while. The tonka and vetiver add a bit of complexity that keeps it from leaning too sweet or gourmand. I don’t really smell any smoke, BUT there is a slightly toasty element to it. I bought the EDP and longevity has been surprisingly well, two sprays and I can still smell it ~6 hours later on my sweater. This also has decent sillage, you won’t be smelled before entering a room, but you might leave a nice little trail as you leave. Highly recommend checking this out if you like vanilla!

Discovered this scent as being a dupe for Eillish No. 1, but personally I have to disagree; while the scents are similar, I feel that Sweet on the Outside has a much more unique, gourmand composition as opposed to Eillish No. 1's floral vanilla scent, in my opinion. I really love Sweet on the Outside. It is a very warm, sweet vanilla scent that reminds me of hot cocoa; but it is not chocolatey at all. It's a lovely, long lasting, almost edible smelling fragrance that I recieve compliments on every time I wear it. The simple, yet pleasantly comforting composition of vanilla, tonka bean, vetvier, and some smoky undertones really comes together to make a cozy casual fragrance. Worth a try without breaking the bank!

So generic, there are about a million perfumes that smell like this but it smells GOOD. It’s an objectively fantastic perfume for its price point. Great for layering under almost anything else since it’s so inoffensive and cozy. I doubt there’s a person alive who would dislike this fragrance, so it’s an incredibly safe choice for a first date or job interview or even somewhere like work or church/temple, etc., just don’t expect to stand out. Don’t worry dear, they’ll remember you, just not for how you smell(other than it being pretty dang nice and normal). I love it, feels like a great daily wear.

ive bought this body mist twice now and ive lost it BOTH times .. atp i think its a sign i jus shouldnt have it so i give tf up 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 (im gonna buy it again anyway💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔) it really does smell 1:1 like viva vanilla , mod vanilla , bare vanilla , etc. w a slight smokeiness tho 10/10 would & will buy again but imma need it to stop hiding from me update: i found it & it smells just as good after sitting for a couple months 🫠🫠 dried down this is the softest creamiest vanilla ever but when u spray it its this slightly woody slightly smokey slightly musky vanilla its so weird

I have the body mist of this fragrance, and oddly enough, I experience no smokiness whatsoever when I spray it on my skin or clothing. It simply smells like sweet and nondescript candy immediately, then dries down into a very fluffy, light and pleasant vanilla. I have to admit I like it far more than Eilish though, as Eilish turns metallic on me. I also like it more than Maison Asrar's Soiree which I find to be sickeningly synthetically sweet and floral. The latter is a great option though if you love this scent profile and want something way stronger. :)

This is a beautiful soft almost smokey vanilla. You will literally smell so sweet without also smelling like a middle school locker room. (I'll be smelling like cotton candy even when I'm 60 though) It's kind of hard to find sweet perfumes that don't immediately register as "young". This literally smells edible, like marshmellows in a bonfire. Ughh I'm in love. As for the Eilish comparisons... I hated Eilish and I loved this so.. Idk, Eilish smelled like a really weird metallic vanilla to me. This is way better.

I’m not sure how people say this doesn’t last—on me, it lasts a long time, and I get so many compliments! I wouldn’t call this a perfect dupe for Eilish, but it’s about 80% similar. Eilish has a richer, deeper scent, while this one lacks some of that depth. However, I wouldn’t choose one over the other—they’re both great in their own way. If you love sweet scents, I’d definitely recommend this. As for the smokiness, I barely notice it—maybe just a hint, but it stays in the background.

Absolutely love this one. It's like Eilish no.1 but less powdery and seems more like vanilla extract rather than sugary confections. It seems deeper and more mature. My friend bought this right after I did since she loved it so much. Also you can't beat the price. One of the few perfumes I never once regretted buying, and I regret every life choice I ever make. Even if it's a 75¢ cotton candy lollipop.

vv OKAY so im not crazy 😭😭😭 i get fruitiness from it as well !!! the same kind of fruitiness thats in viva vanilla & mod vanilla - which both have plum !!!! glad 2 know its not js me lmao . it smells like smokey vanilla extract 2 me i love it but i lost my bottle 💔💔💔 + smell the candle it smells exactly like candy lol

I was pleasantly surprised by this perfume. I was debating between this and pistachio please. This won me over. I love Gourmand scents. And this is perfect. It's warm and cozy and sweet. But the sweet isn't too heavy. It very very similar to Eilish but I think it's better. It's sweeter. Eilish is more amber maybe?

Love this brand(but specific scents), great price for the scent. I love this so much, when they came out with candles recently, I got this as a candle. It is sweet, slight vanilla, but very clean like soap to me. I love wearing it with the finer'y pistachio please.

I own Billie Eilish Eilish and Lattafa Nebras. The Fine’ry Sweet On The Outside has a VERY similar DNA but I honestly love it on me much more than the other two. It may be the least appealing bottle but the scent is superior, especially for the price.

I absolutely LOVE this. This is comfort in liquid form for me. It's so sweet but not cloying at all. It's cozy and delicious and def a dupe of Eilish (1). This is also quite strong and does last a long while. It's in my top 3 affordable fragrances!
