Lil Softie

I’m broke and really shouldn’t have bought this, but after one sniff, I couldn’t stop literally dreaming about it. At first I get a very realistic lucky charms note, but not in a sweet body splashy type of way, it’s more like the smell of a memory, which might sound like a crazy, but if you’re familiar with Lore, you should know that they’re really olfactory storytellers, no wonder they’re called Lore. So after the opening settles, I get the milk note, which is a dream come true, so soft and very fresh. A lot of perfumes that are described as lactonic are simply vanilla perfumes, which is a boring interpretation in my opinion. This one is so different, so exciting through and through. It sits pretty close to the skin after an hour or so, which is not a bad thing, it feels very intentional and aligned with the whole concept, but I’m hopelessly addicted to it so I’ve been spraying myself obsessively all day. This bottle will not last. No regrets!

Ok so I’m seeing SO many mixed opinions and negative reviews on this one, but if you really understand olfactory and the noses behind this fragrance, you’ll appreciate the beauty that is Lil Softie. This is for the Glossier You lovers. The ones you want an effortlessly chic, your skin but better, lean in closer type of fragrance. You definitely get the fruit loops cereal up top which fades after about 30 min, but is always lingers in the background. To me this dries down to a cozier and more mouth-wateringly yummy version of glossier you. The more I wear it, the more I love it. DANGIT

smells like a starchy version of studied by liis. it's sweet and musky with a hint of citrus and starch. i definitely see the comparison to fruit loops, but i don't think it's overwhelming (i'm not someone who personally wants to smell like fruit loops all day long). i think it's just the starchy citrus-y sweetness that gives that vibe. i.e. i don't think a random stranger would think you smell like fruit loops - i think they'd just think you smell good! overall, this perfume is right up my alley as someone who loves skin scents and musks.

Just got this today & quite like it! It doesn't smell like the notes listed to me so much. But it does smell similar to Glossier You & Fleur. I don't get pepper, which is nice. It's like You without the peppery note. It almost has a minty quality in the opening, which I also get in Fleur. It's soft and sweet and sits fairly close to the skin. My daughters all loved it, as well, & they're teenagers who are quite choosy. I wouldn't blind buy, but if you like the You/Fleur profile, I think you'd be safe.

After reading the notes and seeing a few reviews, I decided to blind buy this fragrance. And, oh my gosh, this is absolutely beautiful! I do get a little bit of a Glossier You vibe but this has that yummy, fruity note that amps it up and I love the pink pepper note that adds a bit of spice. It's cozy, a little milky and starchy with a sweet, musky dry down that's intoxicating. I love it! I'll always have this in my collection.🩷
