Sweet Paradise

Wow I love this fragrance I haven't tested it against Scarlet Poppy but this one is amazing in its own right... It's a sweet light modern floral with the barley note which gives it kind of a cereal milk vibe.. it's not gourmand or overly floral but it's just a very feminine beautiful unique fragrance. This could definitely be signature scent worthy for somebody. No it's not in your face like the other gourmands but if you're tired of those kind of over the top vanilla caramel perfumes nowadays and want something a little softer and more elegant give this one a try Edit: ok I have now tested against Scarlet Poppy intense and while they are similar Scarlet poppy has more of a fresh floral opening that balance is the sweetness.. Versus Sweet Paradise which pretty much go straight into the sweetened cereal lactonic. I can see the resemblance to Dove macadamia nut and rice body scrub but with less nuttiness. I can see why some people might find this a little cloying just because there is no freshness in the way that Scarlet poppy has. I do still think it's lovely though and this type of perfume could be layered easily also. This also smells quite a bit like the new Bath and body works milk scent although this one is much smoother. I also think this has good longevity I don't know why people say it disappears after 2 hours I find it last at least four. Maybe some maceration is needed.

As an avid lover of scarlet poppy, I can happily say that this is almosttttt a spot on dupe. The difference is that sweet paradise is much nuttier and soapy in my opinion. It's as though they cranked up the barley note in this perfume. Though, on the dry down it is almost identical. My bottle is new so I can't wait to see how it will transform as it macerates. This perfume is an acquired taste much like scarlet poppy. Super creamy, powdery and floral (the sweet kind of floral). I love it so much and I'm so glad I don't have to spend 200€ on the original. Not many will love her because she's not the typical sickly sweet crowd pleaser gourmand; but those who get it, get it and those who don't dont :) 10/10 edit: compared it to scarlet poppy and i def smell the difference. this is still very yummy but scarlet poppy reigns superior. the original is much more floral and just more nicely blended imo. i would definitely spend the money on the original if i have it rather than this. however, not a bad dupe if you really love SP. sweet paradise smells like someone tried to replicate SP based on their memory. update: i cant stand this anymore lol

You have to like powdery skin scents in order to get along with this perfume. It is quite sweet, feminine, soft and comforting with a bit of vintage nostalgia. This has that powdery makeup scents. I feel this is the type of scent you wear with a fuzzy mohair sweater in the end of winter when you are waiting for springtime. The barley accord is really interesting, but I can smell it in paper, on my skin it just becomes part of the skin scent. If you like Narciso Poudree, you will probably like this one as well.

Fluffy and clean- think freshly washed towels. There’s a notion of “hotel lobby vanilla” (which I am particularly fond of) but this smells like the actual hotel linen/towels of that hotel. This fragrance is creamy, mostly in a floral orris way. Some people mention milk, but if there’s any milk I’d think more an oat milk. A subtle waft of fresh peaches with grounding of hints of tonka. This is a “pilates princess” style fragrance. Non offensive, skin like and ever so creamy/lotion-esk. Addictive. “Wifey”.

This smells like a milky barley - based dessert in Asia. A comforting ambrette and musk and barley are dominant. The dry down is a comforting vanilla and deep earthy orris. This is not a sweet girly vanilla dessert scent - this is an intriguing barley milk that is interesting enough to be a scent for an intellectual lady who travels a lot and has a discerning palette.
