Beautiful Mess

when i first bought this last year i must say i was so put off by it at first lol... i was expecting something ‘basic’ floral and vanilla (but still good) but it was absolutely not that. it’s the way the jasmine meets with the other notes and turns it so sweet & candylike. this fragrance is one of the most unique i have ever smelt. if you know Gabi... this is SO on brand for her. it is very holiday oriented.. i think really you could wear this at any season but there’s just something so special about wearing it during Christmas time.. i imagine shopping in a vintage upscale small town shopping center on a snowy evening in a fur coat and heels.. carrying a designer bag ~ it just brings me right to that moment. the land of sweets is just so right on point. something about it is also so girly nostalgic and i love that aspect of it. well done Gabi ♡

whenever i first received this perfume as a gift i was a bit thrown off because it wasn’t what i was expecting. i was expecting a very sweet, pistachio, cake smell. i definitely smell pistachio, but it’s not as sweet as i thought it would be. it’s almost spicy, at least on my skin. once it dries down, it sweetens up, but the first initial smell after spraying is a light spice and pistachio. this is definitely a winter scent, it smells “cold” if that makes sense. i love it, its a very unique fragrance and i get compliments every time i wear it.

So as some may know this fragrance is most likely discontinued, and I never got to try it until i bought one on mercari. This is a spot on dupe of love spell body mist from VS. It’s a bit nuttier/gourmand but still has that juicy peach/plum vibe going on. All this to say, if you never got to try but are curious, don’t be like me and buy one overpriced on a resell website, it’s literally love spell with pistachio. I love it tho!!

This smells like eating a pistachio milk cookies and macaroons during Christmas season!!! Other times it smells like Christmas gummy candies. This perfume is perfect for being jolly at the holidays.

I just recieved this in the mail today and let me tell you a story about it. I was suggested Gabi's channel on YouTube and clicked it because of the Ariana similarities. I ended up really liking her! She's sweet and entertaining and being a fragrance fanatic I really wanted to know what this smelt like and since it's not sold anywhere but her site you have to take a gamble and spend the $54.90 (with the shipping.) I decided to and at first I got an error that it didn't go through and then I tried again and it processed. The next morning on my statement I see two charges for the fragrance for $54.90 and thought ok it's probably not processed yet I can just cancel it before it's shipped. Let me tell you I was unable to get in touch with anyone through the vendor Shop or Gabi's website. I even messaged her on Instagram with the order number and what happened. I see on her website too that "all purchases are final" so yeah essentially I am now with two fragrances and a little annoyed. As to the scent. I was expecting something along the lines of Pink Sugar/Viva La Juicy but my best way to sum up my initial thought of what it smells like is a craft store. LIke Michaels or Joanns you know those dried flowers sections and wreaths? It's definitely a holiday fragrance. It's festive. I don't initially love it but that may change. I usually stick with what I know and rotate between Pink Sugar, Viva La Juicy, Armani Code, Halle by Halle Berry, Midnight Fantasy, Amor Amor, and Miami Glow by JLo. Now that I have two I'll use the one I opened and gift the other for Christmas.

I bought this perfume couple months ago and i can say im dissapointed. I live in indonesia and here we have this traditional very affordable/cheap cookies in tin can called Khong Guan and this smells 100% exactly like it, very artificial not the best smelling cookie in the world lol, quite fruity has little bit of fake banana smell. Honestly i cant put this on around without somebody asking i just had that cookie, without the yummy ness that people get when i use my other gourmand smelling perfumes (ex: margiela by the fireplace, montale chocolate greedy, bbw vanilla bean noel). I wish this has more expensive decadent desserts smell because Gabi herself has compared this perfume to laduree macarons which arent cheap and definitely dont smell like this. This smells quite synthetic and not expensive. And the sillage also not great, all i can say if youre expecting something that would smell gourmand but still classy opt for different scent

It is okay. Kinda reminds me of bubblegum mixed with the inside of a fancy hotel bathroom when I spray it on my skin. Doesn't smell bad but smells like a bunch of rich person room spray and cleaning product. It smells a lot different when I spray it on my clothing however; I feel like I'm eating pistachio macarons during cherry blossom season. It is sweet but I don't think it is for me as pistachio and cherry blossoms aren't scents I gravitate towards. I'm selling/trading my mostly full bottle so if anyone is interested pm me. I'll update if I end up selling it.

I am a Gabi fan, so I was very excited when she announced she was releasing a fragrance. When it arrived my first impression was mixed because the fragrance to me just doesn’t smell like anything I’ve ever smelled, I expected it to smell like a nice sweet vanilla fragrance. It smells like froot loops and a banana macaroon, the scent itself smells almost like a home fragrance instead of a perfume. Overall I think it’s unique and actually do wear it and enjoy it during Christmas season.

I'm an international fancy baby and a huge perfume lover just like gabi but the shipping cost+taxes of this fragrance makes it impossible for me to buy :( can someone recommend me a very similar dupe?? someone told me it smells exactly like "whipped dream" by VS but reading the notes I just can imagine BM smelling like that

finally added! looking forward to seeing what everybody thinks
