Easy Bake Intense

I really respect this release. Huda was thoughtful and smart. The fragrance works for all ages. The bottle design works for all ages as well. What I get from the scent is the same vibe I might get from Dior’s original Poison, NR Musc Noir Rose, LVEB, and a little of Vanilla Rock Candy - only gentler, airier, and easier to wear than all of those (which I love as well). Perfect moderate sillage and eternal longevity. The frosted bottle does capture the feeling the scent gives of a sweet dark fruit, powdery, ambery, soft vanillic cloud with a touch of cinnamon and maybe pepper. I thought I wasn’t getting the caramel milk until I came in from the heat and a lovely cloud of it was suddenly surrounding me. The final dry down for me is a gentle shampooey musk or maybe sandalwood that keeps a hint of all the notes and was very clean (like all the way to the next day). I’m very impressed with the journey this perfume takes. It feels like a very thoughtful composition and I truly love it. Huda should be proud. Totally charming. People are saying it’s a bit nostalgic and I think it’s because it harkens to the best parts of Poison before it was ruined. But don’t let that scare you, it’s just a similar vibe, and I’m here for it! My back up bottle arrived today.

I was standing in Sephora purchasing a completely different fragrance, and while I was waiting for the beauty advisor to get my fragrances, I decided to spray this fragrance on my arm and, holy cow, was I blown away. I purchased the fragrance I went to Sephora for, but on the car ride home I could not stop smelling Easy Bake Intense on my arm. I loved it so much that I went back the same day and purchased the travel size. Now my description of what this smells like might be a little strange, but hear me out. This smells like I am a child again on Christmas morning. Someone is baking cinnamon rolls in the kitchen, while a cherry candle is burning in the other room. Perhaps the person who is baking the cinnamon rolls is wearing a white floral perfume that is lingering in the air. That's what this fragrance smells like to me. On my skin, the cinnamon, cherry, and caramel milk pull the most. The floral note is noticeable, but it's in the background. 🍒🥛🤎 I have never tried the original Easy Bake fragrance nor the powder, but I am absolutely in love with this fragrance. I do not understand the hate that this gets on social media!

I fell for all the hype too after all the hubbub about it potentially smelling gross or like fish and grabbed a travel size. It is not fishy or unpleasant to my nose at all thankfully. Not having smelled the original Easy Bake I can't speak on if the Intense version is stronger or not, it can gently make it through a full work day for me though. I do get a little hint of something similar to Angel's Share, but it's the boozy cinnamon part that I enjoy in that fragrance and it is not too dominant in EBI. I don't get much cherry but there is this pleasant creamy/powdery floral warmth to it that is very cozy and wearable. I layered it with Cherry Crush from Good Chemistry and that is a lovely combo, especially for work and if you want a little more cherry and spice. It goes really well with Noor by Riiffs too(Bianco Latte dupe) The more I wear it, I like and crave it. I will most likely be going for the full size bottle soon.

Daniel Rene owes Huda Kattan and Hamid Merati-Kashani a giant public apology. Period. The way Rene tried to poison this launch is so childish and mean-spirited, I’m so disappointed. Massive dummy spit because he wasn’t part of Huda’s campaign. Now to the review... This perfume is DELIGHTFUL. My warm-blooded Australian nose detects nothing but cherry-charged fluffy flormand vanilla yumminess. Opening is super juicy with the tart cherry, drydown is super cozy with the bourbon vanilla. The only issue is the need for me to overspray, but i’m happy to bathe in this stuff. Wore it during the day to go shopping (it’s winter here) and was complimented by strangers. I bought the 10ml and will graduate to the full bottle. Congratulations to Huda and Hamid - a beautiful, feminine, flirty/cozy scent!! UPDATE: Have you tried layering it with Vanilla 28??? Because I just did... 😍 HOLY GRAIL layering combo 10/10!!!

This is a very floral forward fragrance in first spray. I don’t get any fish smell at all! I don’t smell cherry or vanilla. I do get a sweet note, which I think is caramel. I like it...but I think it will settle more in a few weeks. I will update in a few weeks. It’s not bad at all on first spray. 3 Days Later... This is settling nicely. The florals on first spray have calmed down tremendously☺️. I smell the cherry now on dry down, and it is really nice. I hope the cherry note becomes stronger. I love cherry notes. I really like it. And I am glad that I smelled it for myself. Again absolutely nothing offensive about it. 6mo Later: I am so glad that I kept this. It has settled into the most elegant cherry floral. It is absolutely beautiful to my nose
