Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81

This fragrance almost saved my life. Alright, before you roll your eyes, let me explain. My wonderful fiancé gifted me this for Valentines Day this year and I couldn't get enough of this incredibly beautiful scent. I wore it almost every day for a month! It's the sweetest, most delicious and airy fragrance and I became obsessed very quickly. I got compliments every time I wore it and it was a fabulous little confidence booster! The scent is gorgeous. Fluffy strawberry and marshmallow, expensive vanilla, airy apple and nectarine blossom, all coated in the lightest whipped cream. So very feminine, without leaning overly childlike. Also a complete man-magnet, this is my other half's favourite scent on me. Back to my story! I started to notice my wrists turning yellow, which freaked me out. They'd come and and go and get more yellow, so I booked a doctors appointment. I had full blood works done, which showed strange results in regards to my liver, which prompted me to get a liver scan. I was diagnosed with early fatty liver disease, which shocked me, as I'm a very healthy person. The doctors were puzzled about why my wrists were still turning yellow, as it wasn't far enough to cause jaundice. One day, I wore something else, and noticed my skin hadn't turned yellow. I eventually put two and two together and after some research, found that Kayali perfumes can turn the skin yellow due to the Madagascan vanilla extract in it! I stopped wearing this on my wrists, and sure enough, my skin was fine! However, with no other symptoms, my early diagnosis of this liver problem is reversible and I'm making healthier choices and exercising a lot more to combat it. Without the yellow staining, I'd have never booked a doctors appointment. So, cheers to you, Kayali! I'll never not have a bottle of this now.

I've been using the 10 ml version of this perfume for about a month now, so I think I can finally give an honest review. 🍥✨ First of all, when I tried it on my skin for the first time, I honestly couldn't detect much of the marshmallow or strawberry notes. It mostly smelled like a cheap vanilla candle to me, and after about 30 minutes, it seemed to disappear almost completely. I also sprayed it on my clothes before going to bed one night. When I wore them again later, I could still smell it, and this time it smelled like the most delicious vanilla cupcake. It was absolutely amazing! 😭✨ Even though my skin usually works really well with gourmand fragrances, I noticed the same issue that many other people have mentioned with this perfume. After about an hour, it started turning into a slightly smoky scent on my skin, which honestly bothered me. Even so, I still liked it. 🙂↔️ A few months later, I decided to buy the 50 ml bottle, but this time I wanted to let it macerate because I was hoping that strange smoky scent would improve. I left it in its box, in a dark place, for just two weeks, and I immediately noticed that the marshmallow, vanilla, and even a little bit of the strawberry became much more noticeable. (Although I still think the marshmallow and strawberry smell a bit synthetic.) The smoky note had almost completely disappeared, and I also noticed that it lasted a little longer on my skin. Since the results were already better, I let it macerate for another two weeks in a dark place, and I honestly think that made it even better. Overall, if you enjoy sweet, gourmand, feminine fragrances, I think this is a pretty safe blind buy. However, if you're worried about the issues I mentioned, I'd definitely recommend trying it in a store first to avoid any disappointment. 🍦✨

It’s super addictive, and I’m completely obsessed with it! I really love marshmallow fragrances, and this is by far one of the best! I love how it’s sugary sweet, but fluffy and delicate enough so that it’s never cloying, and can be worn year round! I’m a huge fan of Kayali fragrances, but even so YBM is my favorite! I currently own 20 different fragrances of theirs, and my top 5 are YBM, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, The Wedding Silk Santal, Yum Pistachio Gelatin. I’m also a big fan of the Vacay in a Bottle Collection, especially for the spring and summer! I get excellent performance with Yum Boujee Marshmallow. The longevity is great, it lasts 8+ hours on my skin. The projection is moderate to strong as it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me. Because of this and how amazing it smells, I do consider it to be a good value. For reference, some of my other favorite marshmallow scents include Kilian LDBS, Princess, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, JHAG Powder Love, Valentino DBIR Ivory, D&G Pour Femme Intense, Skylar Caramel Alps, Phlur Heavy Cream, BBW Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Fireside Flurries, Whipped Vanilla & Almond

It comes as no surprise that this fragrance is over-the-top sweet, sweet, sweet... but I LOVE it!! It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for all my fellow fruity-gourmand lovers: This one is for us, babe. This fragrance is fun, flirty, and playful, but that doesn't mean it is unsophisticated. The opening is syrupy with just a hint of creaminess; think crystallized cotton candy meets strawberry-flavored cold foam. (Just a note that I've heard others describe this fragrance as a "strawberry milkshake," but I don't quite agree. There IS a lactonic quality, particularly in the drydown, but it is surprisingly subtle; more akin, as mentioned, to a flavored cold foam rather than the richness of ice cream or a milkshake.) The strawberry note is admittedly quite artificial smelling, but not at all in an unpleasant or cheap way; its sharp sweetness softens after a few hours and it becomes more fluffy and almost cottony. On my skin, the vanilla and whipped cream notes definitely dominate by the end of the day, with just a lingering hint of floral fruitiness. Overall, although it may seem a bit basic (albeit SCRUMPTIOUS) upon first spray, this fragrance develops on the skin and over time more complex notes come out to play - even if they are a bit predictable. If you're a fan of smelling sweet AF and the listed notes entice you, this is definitely a safe blind buy, as it smells exactly as you'd expect!

replaced this one (which was my everyday fragrance) and regret it deeply. I loved the initial fruit smell, which transforms to a decadent creamy marshmallow smell that hugs close to your skin, clothes, and got me a decent amount of compliments. But, the most important factor to me about this fragrance is that i absolutely LOVED constantly holding my wrist to my nose and smelling it often. it just SMELLS SO GOOD!!!! however the reasons for the scent exchange; - It had a nice scent bubble for about 4 hours, before it became quite intimate. The smell noticeably lasted 5 hours, and then for the next 4 hours after that I would only smell it to my wrist or taking a close whiff to my clothing, (might be me habituating to it though, be advised) - sometimes when i would get sweaty the smell would make me feel nauseous a bit, (my problem,). I wouldn't recommend this in hot weather where you KNOW you're going to sweat. this will go for my other gourmands; smelling like dessert when im sweaty makes me feel icky or nauseous. I will DEFINITELY be buying this scent again in the near future though; i loved this too much to leave behind. if you are curious; i switched it out for burberry her elixir (which is way less creamy, and more floral strawberry smell --> which i feel sad about.)
