Snow Fairy

i've given this one some time. it's a very bubblegum-adjacent scent--nebulously fruity, but still very cherry forward. i didn't even notice that what i was smelling was the pear note but i can understand why some people describe it as festive/christmassy. it's definitely more refined and easier to take apart than actual bubblegum is, but still pretty artificial and maybe even slightly medicinal. the strong cherry note actually reminds me of those chewable pepto tablets, and wearing it out i had someone comment that i smelled like cherries. honestly, my biggest issue is still its performance. for a body spray, it's great, but its perfume alternative was discontinued a while ago so this is all we really get. it does last throughout most of the day, but the sillage is surprisingly snug for such an overbearing scent profile. halfway through the day, it becomes a vaguely sweet scent that i can only really pick up by pressing my nose into my clothes. right now, i usually just spray it a frankly excessive number of times to maximize its performance. of course, that comes at the cost of being a bubblegum nuke for the first twenty minutes or so. i'll admit that the value is a bit undermined--at least for me--due to how much of it i've had to go through to get proper results. it's honestly my favorite fragrance at the moment. it's a genuine candy gourmand--it has some depth but it isn't doing too much with random floral or musky notes. either way, you're not going to be leaving anyone indifferent.

I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for this scent. In November 2022, I caught covid and lost all sense of smell and taste for three months. I won't bore you, but this battle lasted nearly two years, and the complete anosmia turned into parosmia, where everything stank of skunk, garbage and sick. It was an extremely debilitating time, something I wasn't sure I'd get through as a perfume enthusiast. Around January 2024, my partner and I were shopping and something compelled me to smell this perfume, and oh my god, I could smell it. I remember dancing around the store with tears in my eyes that I could smell something the way it was intended. He was so excited for me, he bought me a bottle on the spot. Yes, it's childish, frivolous and a little ridiculous smelling, I mean, It's called Snow Fairy, but this fragrance is also carefree, delicious and so long lasting. It's artificial cotton candy while you're waiting to ride a roller coaster in a theme park. It's a girl in a barbie pink sun dress with white sneakers in the sunshine while you're chowing down on a sweet candy apple. It's a woman dancing around a shop in pure excitement that her battle with parosmia is finally fading. I can't help but love it and smile whenever I wear this. Is it ground-breaking? Of course not, but it does put me in a good mood and my fiancé lovingly nuzzles me whenever I wear this. I'll probably always have a little bottle of this from now on.

I don’t actually have the body spray, but I have the body wash, lip mask, and lotion. I can’t help but adore snow fairy. It’s something I would’ve never allowed myself to indulge in for years, but now i’m fucking cringe...but I’m free (please read that in a Lana Del Rey Voice) It’s basically just cotton candy, bubble gum tape, those powdery hard banana candies, and a splash of cough-syrupy maraschino cherry. I (probably, maybe) wouldn’t wear it outside my home. Snow fairy reminds me of circa 2013-2015 pink tumblr aesthetic, you may know what I mean if you were also a teen girl in that era. Starbucks, Victoria’s Secret, early Ariana Grande, Soap & Glory and Philosophy bath products...you get the gist. I didn’t know about snow fairy then, but it still makes me feel nostalgia for scrolling through Pinterest during Christmas break with a mini pink Christmas tree in my room. Snow fairy is absolutely everything the negative reviews say it is: juvenile, gauche, puts even the sweetest gourmands to shame with its pure, sickly confectionery-ness, and yes there is indeed a hint of plastic. But what a treat and a joy!

A youthful, happy and fun candy scent, quite lovely in my opinion, even though I’m 38. I’ve had the shower gel and soap bar for over ten years and just recently got the body mist and I was quite surprised by how strong it is and by the insane longevity, one spray is more than enough and I can smell it all day! I only wear it during fall and winter, it’s too much and too sweet for summer, at least to me! It may be too much for some, especially since it’s so strong, I love it but it’s too much for me sometimes. I like to layer it with vanilla scents/fragrances so I sprayed one spray of this in a small (3 ml) decanter bottle/atomiser and then filled up the rest of the bottle with a plain, non-sweet vanilla fragrance and I now find this more “wearable” for everyday use. But even though I only sprayed one spray/pump of this and then filled the rest of the 3 ml (about 30 pumps) of the other (vanilla) fragrance this is still the most noticeable scent/fragrance in the mix/decanter! And one to two sprays of that mix-bottle is still usually enough of the Lush Snow Fairy fragrance!

okay, i was given the snow fairy body wash for christmas. at first i wasn’t too sure on the scent but after a couple days i was completely obsessed. i would literally go into the bathroom, smell the bottle and walk out!! ive had my eyes on this body spray for a couple of years and since i love the body wash so much- i decided to buy it as it was half price. and im so glad i did!! its extremely strong, so you really only need one or two sprays. i like to spray it once in the air and walk through it, then again but flip my hair through it. it’s not too overpowering that way!! for me- it’ll last around 10 hours, maybe longer. as for the actual scent, on skin it settles to a soft bubblegum scent. it’s quite sweet but not too sweet imo. after a while it actually starts to smell quite soapy- it’s like a sweet version of a ‘clean girl’ scent. i might love it so much because i’m on the younger side, older people don’t seem to like it. but i think it’s perfect for a teenager or somebody in their early 20s !
