Aziza Strawbelle

This is one of the strongest, true to strawberry-scents that I have ever tried. It’s beautiful. My wife says like a European strawberry cough syrup... In Malta they have to hide it from the kids because it smells and taste so delicious that they want to drink it lol ...to me it smells like 1980s strawberry shortcake dolls, the way this skin/plastic would smell. It’s beautiful and nostalgic.

I love a photo realistic strawberry and actually this is a hard-to-find quality in fragrance. This one is bright and tart, I think that cranberry really does come through. I was hoping for a creamier dry down and for this reason, Strawbelle will be a layer rather than a stand alone perfume for me. I will keep it and I will spray her all summer. Very tropical, not as lactonic or vanillic as I would like. Still think it’s a fun and fruity spray, I don’t find it offensive in any way.

Update 5/28/26 This one is getting better and smelling way less synthetic after sitting for a month. The strawberry notes are hanging on a little longer and the musky static is calming down. I am now noticing the cranberry as well. I think another month and this will be even more fruity and cozy. It's not quite where I'd like it to be just yet but it seems to steadily be on the way and worth waiting for. I don't know if I would say it's blind buy safe though ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was very excited for Strawbelle and had high hopes for it being a staple summer scent, it's just a lot more synthetic and musky smelling than I had been expecting. I know strawberry and pretty much all fruit notes are "fantasy notes" and are in fact synthetic, but it was just a lot. I had seen it described as smelling like those strawberry hard candies in the foil strawberry wrapper, which it does for a few moments. Then an almost hairspray and dryer sheet wrestling in the afternoon sun vibe comes on. I will tuck this one away in a closet until further into summer and hope aging it a bit will work some magic. As it is right now, very moderate in projection and lasts about 4-5 hours on my skin.
