Boum Sweet Lollipop

If Al-Rehab's Soft had a sister that iced gingerbread houses at the north pole. After requesting a very sweet perfume from a sales associate and bearing through a dozen designer white florals with a shy downtrodden vanilla or some inedible fruit thrown into the generic mix, she pulled this one out warning me of how sickly sweet it was. As a gourmand lover I wasn't fazed by this description and wow I was surprised! Firstly the name of this perfume is wildly misleading! It is a spiced creamy gourmand, not straight sugar and maybe fruit like the name suggests. The opening is bright citrus and vanilla, youthful and sweet. The citrus of choice in here being an orange means it is ripe and juicy not zesty and sharp like the strong dose of lemon you get in Al-Rehab's Soft. Quickly after the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger all come screeching one after fighting for dominance. It's here where I almost lost hope in that counter having anything for me. But then at the dry down real magic happens. The spices quite down and marry with the vanilla and sugar so beautifully, with the orange dancing coyly at the beginning of every waft. The creaminess of the vanilla in the base really seal the deal for this fragrance as a gourmand. Truly edible like a gingerbread cookie with all it's iced glory. My favourite thing about this fragrance is the combination of the ginger and orange, lending an almost floral sparkle to an otherwise dense scent profile. This lasts long on my skin but is very intimate, which I don't mind for this scent as it's the kind of cozy warm and nostalgic scent you would war for your own enjoyment. Shame about the bottle not having a lid tho... Over all unique scent, very cheap, longevity is moderate at best, and is very sweet and it delivers on all the promised notes which seems to be a rarity for perfumes these days so an overall win for me. 7/10

Boy oh boy do I love this, it definitely evokes the memories of childhood and this is a great gourmand scent! And it only cost me $13.00 USD! Sweet lollipop does smell very much like pink sugar but with a orange gingery hint. It's like going to a fair during the winter or a Christmas market. Surrounded by all the candy floss,candy orange slices,gingerbread and cinnamon cookies you can imagine! If you're into sweets give this a try! Excuse me while I try and find something sweet to snack on..

I am generally impressed with this house for their well blended perfumes at a bargain price. This fragrances is softer than i usually buy but I spray liberally for a more intense experience. This one dries down to a spicy vanilla. I also detect candy floss, orange, caramel and ginger. Moderate sillage and lasting power.

I have 5 Boum fragrances and this is my favortie yet with Vanille a close second. Upon the first spray, it‘s not very impactful, but in a moment it soaks in and a deep, comforting caramelly smell lingers and is really lovely. Where I am, it’s a hard perfume to find, but I hope to always be lucky enough to have a bottle.

I am wearing this sweet confection today. Very similar to Pink Sugar but it has a tad more cinnamon in the dry down. It is cool and raining out today and i feel as though I am wrapped in a cozy pink fuzzy blanket. Comfort and sweetness in a bottle. I just LOVE this one.
