Icy Hard Candy

This is absolutely my favorite cupcake! I was very surprised by it b/c I was expecting a fruity, fresh scent, with the blue bottle and all. This scent is much more mature & a little deeper than I was expecting, but I'm pleasantly surprised. 1st I Want to say this parfum is VERY well blended b/c personally I feel like I smelt EVERY note in this fragrance throughout its life but it all blended so perfectly, and transitioned so gracefully between each note. Sweet b/c of the berries and ylang-ylang, yet mature and dark b/c of the sandlewood,clove and patchouli. Its a sweet, semi chilling, calming scent. You still need to enjoy soft sweet scents to enjoy this frag. Rating is Scent: 8/10. Longevity: 6/10. Sillage: 4/10. Bottle: 10/10. Uniqueness 5/10. rated: 6/10

I am just here to say - this smells so damn good. EVEN better in cooler weather. It's just - IDK how to describe it. FIRST it's UNIQUE, I have about 550+ fragrances & this really stands out and reminds me really of nothing I HAVE or have TRIED. I smell the vanilla, the berries, clove and patchouli on me - this makes for a really sexy mixture on my skin and VERY fragrant. The bottles are so over the top, and the TOP the LID is sooo heavy - but very unique. I am a fan!

Fragrantica has this scent profile spot on. This is the most adult candy perfume I've ever smelled. I like sweet scents but not too sweet, and this fits the bill. It has three heavy hitters for the base notes, and they really ground this perfume and make it modern while the berries and ylang ylang give it that sweetness that I love. The clove and vanilla comes off very caramel to me, but like a rich caramel that you'd get in a fancy restaurant. Love this stuff.

The comparison to Black Orchid is interesting. The note undercurrent of both scents is similar, but there is no comparison in how they wear on the skin. Black Orchid is light-years more punchy and spicy than Icy. The spice in Icy remains more in the background. It feels cooler, icier, if you will, than Black Orchid, which is just a riot of strong notes all playing together with wild abandon. One is reserved and proper while the other is reckless and passionate. The notes may have similarities, but the expression of one is the polar opposite of the other.

my first cupcake from hos, only cuz it was gifted to me by a friend that purchased for herself, and found it too masculine. it's a good smelling man in Spring/Summer vibes for sure imo. super long lasting. fresh with just a sprinkle of sweetness and a hint of warmness. not something i would purchase due to its price tag, but i will definitely use up the juice.
