Sugar Berry

I can't tell you how happy I am with this! I'll explain why, but first, a moderately lengthy background story: I am pregnant and was advised to avoid products with phlalates (present in all synthetic fragrances) as much as possible, as they MAY cause certain disruptions in the baby's development. Being obsessed with perfumes and other fragranced products, this was very disappointing to me, but of course for the health of my baby, I am doing my best to avoid fragrance as much as possible. So, I decided to make it my mission to find natural fragranced products that don't contain phlalates - there are many options online, but I prefer not to blind buy whenever possible, so my options in local brick-and-mortar stores are limited. I am a fan of Waikiki Pikakke from Pacifica (although to me it is a summer smell that I'd rather not wear in winter), so I began with other Pacifica fragrances, which I found at Ulta. Unfortunately, all of the other Pacifica fragrances were either too summery (e.g. Ruby Guava), only so-so and not excellent enough that I'd want to wear them (e.g. Island Vanilla), or downright gross (Himalayan Patchouli Berry, Persian Rose), so that was a bust. I have a couple of Kuumba Made perfume oils (Tunisian Patchouli, Egyptian Musk) and LOVE them, but I no longer have a Whole Foods near me, or any other retailer that sells them locally. So on a trip to Target yesterday to pick up other things, I noticed the Good Chemistry fragrances, which I'd never seen before. While standing in the aisle, I looked them up online and discovered they were phlalate-free (yay!), and checked a few reviews here on Fragrantica. I was encouraged to see that most of the reviews seemed positive. I tried a few of them, and the most delightful surprise of all was that, as many of you have mentioned below, Sugar Berry is DEFINITELY a dupe for Pink Sugar - my all-time favorite winter fragrance! I immediately bought the large bottle (only $25!) and now feel much less deprived of my beloved fragrances (especially my winter fave) during my pregnancy. Also picked up Jasmine Rose, which isn't necessarily wintery and admittedly seems rather generic, but after spritzing it on my wrist and walking around the store for awhile, it just had some quality to it that made me want to keep sniffing it, so I bought that as well. Thank you if you read this far - all this to say, Good Chemistry is a great bargain buy with fragrances that smell lovely, and are free of a bunch of potentially harmful chemicals.

WOW!! 🤩 I’ve bought quite a variety of scents the last two months. One very expensive, some medium and pre loved (all were new to me to sample) And I really LOVE this! This isn’t not related to YBM in my mind it’s NOT as sticky and sweet. It’s a sweetened vanilla with a dash of raspberry, honestly as it dries down? It’s just a slightly sticky cotton candy it’s a very HAPPY fragrance. Nothing gives a headache and nothing it too much! it just smells sweet and slightly an airy quality, but it actually lasts on me a good while! Not a big projector though but they will smell you as you walk by... it’s a very happy sweet clean simple scent! Not many notes and I dig it. Simple. It’s funny lately I can love an Hermes full of darkness and patchouli And this confection! Oh as it dries down? It reminds me of coffee break by replica!! Not that coffee is really in this, but there’s a dash of that sweetness ? It’s so interesting! In Love!! I didn’t get the bottle shown above? I think there all sold in those round bottom bottles? I’m going to be stocking up on this every month I have a feeling!! Pls don’t stop making this my new affordable happy scent ...

my all time favorite sweet, affordable fragrance! my mom had the travel spray/rollerball(can’t remember) and let me use it once before we went out shopping and i could constantly pick up the sweet gourmand vanilla all day!! so I bought myself the body mist at target and despite its weaker projection & longevity, it still got the job done for my days out! such a simple, yet balanced and uplifting fragrance! my forever favorite:)

I smell *sugar*, as well as Fressia, raspberry, and a bit of a powdery white musk.... but no vanilla. Confused as to whether vanilla is even meant to be in this fragrance as Good Chemistry does not include it in the notes listed that I’ve seen. i bought this because it smells like Pink Sugar mixed with Love’s Baby Soft. I adore it. I just don’t think it’a a vanilla scent, it’s more of a caramelized and raw sugar blend

I bought this because it reminded me of the swirl of fragrances from the girls locker room in high school. Its a sweet nostalgic cotton candy-esque scent that is jusssst a little more mature than what we used to wear in our teens. Theres a candle at BBW that smells like this too (pink petal tea cake). This scent is so dang yummy I like to wear it on sunny pool days.

While I'm fully aware that the more sophisticated noses are totally looking down their rarified proboscii at me right now -- I kind of love this. It's just *happy*. Sweet and fairly long lasting, and the rollerball cost me less than a fancy coffee. For the price, I'm impressed, even if that makes me fairly basic. :)

The notes are simple but they make it work so well!! I get some musk with this, even though that note isn't even listed. I feel like this would be so good to wear during fall when you're at an amusement park or a pumpkin patch or something. It's so bright and feminine, I just feel so girly when I wear it!!

Smells like Pink Sugar but with a strange plastic scent. Was really hoping it would have a different smell. I imagine the opening to be a more juicy, tart opening, the middle to be something fresh and powdery and the base to be with a creamy and sweet. Nope, just like affordable carbon copy of Pink Sugar.

Similar, but not a dupe! The one it supposedly is a dupe for, stinks of cheap burnt sugar. Super nasty. This is sweet almost cotton candy-esque! A much better fragrance that its burnt dupe.

its exactly what it says on the tin. its very sweet and sugary. not a hint of anything fresh or berry imo. heavy dessert smell. a little artificial but i love it a lot

This was my trauma scent during the pandemic lol. Still really good though smells like sugary cotton candy.

Great everyday perfume for fans of fresh gourmand/vanilla/berries.

Sugar Berry is an absolute, side by side dupe of Pink Sugar.

LOVE LOVE LOVE wish it lasted longer tho ;(

My grandma has this and I love it.

my favorite cheapie! I love her 🩷

I blind-bought Good Chemistry's "Sugar Berry" (SB) in December 2018. I initially disliked this fragrance due to one synthetic/chemical note, but after using it for a little over a year, I've grown to love it. Once you get past the initial spray, SB transforms into a truly beautiful skin scent. If you like/love Aquolina's Pink Sugar, Animale Love, Bodycology's Sweet Seduction, or Victoria Secret's Pure Seduction, you'll like/love SB as they seem to have the same thing going on. All of the above are sweet, creamy, warm, seductive, and yummy (for lack of a better word) frags that have consistently received the most compliments out of all the fragrances I own. For reasons I still don't understand, I crave these perfumes particularly from January through April. It might have something to do with wanting something uplifting and sweet during the cold Midwestern winters when I'd rather not use my stronger/more gourmand winter frags. Since these fragrances are similar in several notes, I layer them to extend their longevity and improve on sillage. 1) I spray Animale Love (or Pink Sugar) lightly on my top and SB only on my pulse points. Not sure what ingredients are in Animale Love but it makes me break out, which is why I only use it on my top. 2) On a different day, I spray Bodycology's Sweet Seduction mist on my body and only use two spritzes of SB on my pulse points and lightly on my top. 3) I spray Victoria Secret's Pure Seduction mist on my body and spray two spritzes of SB on my pulse points and very lightly on my top. All these combinations are beautiful. Just like the body mists, SB does not last long, so you need to carry it with you, refill an atomizer, or get the roller ball/mist that can comfortably fit in your purse to top up during the day. *As long as you use a light hand and since it's a sugar bomb*, SB is inoffensive. Particularly if you layer it with one of the other sweeties, allow them to settle before coming around people, especially in an office-- they'll always smell delicious like desserts and won't offend anyone. If you spray too much, they'll definitely set of allergies and migraines. If those who are highly sensitive to fragrances and easily sickened by sweet scents love SB and how I layer it with other sweet scents, then that's a win in my books.

I just literally picked this up from target. I hate the cheap look and bottle (come on guys why can’t they make it look a little more cute like raspberry shaped or something?!) but OH MY LAWD I get this sweet vanilla raspberry. It’s AMAZING. I wear pink sugar a lot and Ari from Ariana Grande and this is heaven. The after effect is gorgeous milky vanilla. I’m so happy I found this!!!! EDIT: so it’s been a few weeks and for some reason it smells a bit like bug spray?? I blind tested it with my bf and we both didn’t like it as much. I’m gonna have to keep giving it a try but it definitelyyyy is very strong if you overspray. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it as much as I originally did. I think Ari by Ariana Grande is way better but less lasting power. It might be my favorite perfume right now.

Sugar Berry by Good Chemistry is an extremely sweet raspberry gourmand. Very reminiscent of cotton candy. I smell something warm and vanillic, but I’m not sure I’d call it vanilla. The freesia is very faint. Overall it’s pure, tooth-rotting, sugary goodness and not much else beyond that. I picture a teenager excitedly browsing the local mall with friends while eating candy until she feels sick. Youthful, girly, cute, and energetic. Some people may find it too sickly or immature. However, I would say it’s meant to be playful and unserious. The extreme sweetness is not headache inducing, but sugar lovers will still rejoice. It’s not quite my style, but I’d definitely recommend it to all the girly girls out there. Sugar Berry would work best for fun-filled summer days

I like it. The vanilla is a bit overpowering at first but then it turns into this warm, burnt sugar smell that’s beautiful. I only pick up teeny, tiny hints of the raspberries and freesia, though. Would be a great scent for Spring and Summer, but I’d honestly see myself wearing it year-round, too. **EDIT** 30 Mar 2018: I wore this for the past two days and now I am picking up more notes of the raspberry mixed into the vanilla. I'm falling IN LOVE with this perfume! I don't love the smell of it in the bottle, but once it's sprayed on and allowed to mellow for a few minutes....WOW!! I wore it all day yesterday and could still smell it when I woke up this morning. Sweet and sugary but definitely not "young." Women of any age could wear this!
