Praise The Perfume

This is one of my all time favourite perfumes (havent owned the og crybaby). Although I have two bottles. My new one, smelsl quite bright and citrusy, and light. Smells a lot more like somehwat bitter forest fruit, than strabwerry, which makes me sad because my old bottle (dscription below) is quite different. But this is only for the opening. In the drydown (after ~15 min) they both smell the same. Regarldess I love both and on me they project and last for at least 8-10h The old mells like a fruity pink sugar with some powdered milk, but fruity powdered pink sugar is the best way I can describe it, super sugary and sweet, with a bright strawberry and muted sweet lemon, it's also quite powdery in the same way LDBS is. I wouldn't say it smells like a milkshake of any sort, but it's definitely very edible, like a poundcake. If Lira is a lemon poundcake, this is a more relaxed strabwerry poundcake - It's not as overpoweringly sweet as Italian Cello/Lira so it's much more wearable to me and everytime I put it on I feel so calm and relaxed I love this scent This honestly makes me kind of hungry my stomach growls, Pink Sugar makes me hungry and craving stuff, but this one is a step above and actually triggers a bodily response lol The first perfume bottle of this I ordered came a little messed up, some of the writing on it was rubbed off,the cap looks and feels like it doesn't fit this specific bottle I got, and the sprayer nozzle is broken such that you can't press it fully down and it get's stuck, if you press it enough to bypass the stuckness, perfume leaks out from the nozzle. I don't care because the nozzle is still pressable and dispenses an appropriate amount of juice, but I am assuming I got this bottle because it was a previous return and they didn't bother to check that it's a decent one.

Okay, here is my 'official' review🤓 Now that I have the original Crybaby perfume milk I can compare it to Praise the Perfume! I have one sprayed on each wrist write now as I am writing this. Let me begin this review by letting you know that I have had my bottle of Praise the Perfume for about a year now, and I have worn it many times. It never disappoints, lasts all day long and satisfies my powdery, sweet, milky perfume cravings. That being said, it is quite different than the crybaby perfume milk, which I received in the mail this week. Praise the Perfume has a slight hint of strawberry that is not overkill, which I actually love. The Crybaby perfume milk is HEAVY on the berries, so heavy that I would classify it as a fruity perfume rather than a powdery perfume. It is not a linear fragrance; the opening is straight berries and it dries down to a sweet, powdery, coconutty, milky fruit scent that does not work well with my skin chemistry. It lasts about four hours on my skin and all day on clothes, and I prefer the dry down much more on clothes than on skin. Praise the Perfume is powdery, lactonic and sweet in all of the best ways, and it is amazing on my skin, in my hair and on my clothes. It is more of a linear fragrance than the Crybaby perfume milk, and I enjoy it throughout the entire wear. I did not used to be a lover of powdery perfume, but Praise the Perfume has wiggled its way into my heart. OVERALL, I would say that these perfumes are 55% similar. I definitely prefer Praise the Perfume, but that is my personal preference. Everyone's skin chemistry is different, and mine happens to work better with Praise the Perfume than with the Crybaby perfume milk. If you enjoy a powdery, sweet, lactonic perfume, or that sounds appealing to you, I would definitely try out Praise the Perfume.

let me get a little autistic about this perfume. ive had it for about two years, I've let this marinate in my cabinet all this time and I want to break it down for people buying because of crybaby. my sister LOVES gourmands, I hate them. she hated this, I loved it. this perfume is one of my favorites of ALL time. is it crybaby? no. far from it, and im thankful for that. I remember on my first spray I thought this was too milky. too powdery, definitely soft and feminine. news flash, I am a dude, so I threw it in my cabinet for a year and forgot about it. the thing with oakcha perfumes is they NEVER smell the same after maceration. NEVER. double edged sword, I started liking their JM nectarine blossom & honey dupe LESS because of how crazy it smelled after just a few days. it went from lactonic, sweet, quiet candy scent to WOOD. this is not a sharp, cheap cologne sort of wood, but warm, maybe a little smoky, but not to a crazy extent where youre thinking MMM by the fireplace. beware; the sweetness went from soft milk to fruit loops if you spray it on your clothes. woody fruit loops. but im a child, and I like fruit loops. id say this is beast mode, honestly. my strongest perfume for sure. crazy long lasting, but i find oakcha in general has great longevity. the perfume is THICK and oily. beware. TLDR; unisex, sweet, smoky wood on my skin. this shit hasnt been "soft strawberry goo goo ga ga milk" in years. if youre not afraid to get a hella sexy sweet wood perfume, get this. if you wanna smell like a basic vanilla gourmand girly girl, go for Nebras by Lattafa. Weaker, but it's been sitting in my cabinet for 2 years and still smells like marshmallow milk. Just remember to stick your nose in your wrist if you want to remember it's there.

Ok, I'm going to start off by saying I do l Iike this fragrance - however, the prominent notes are completely different on me. While I do get a little bit of the lactonic notes, I mostly get powdery and woody/resinous notes. I do get the, "forest fruits" that sweeten this up, but I don't get "strawberry milk" vibes at all. As a matter of fact, I sprayed this on, and it instantly reminded me of my childhood church; I would get anointed with an oil that smells very much like this fragrance (literally takes me back 30 years!). It's a soft, pleasant fragrance. I layered this with the Baby Powder Fragrance by Demeter, and the Baby Powder was much sweeter. Now, I might have to let "Praise the Perfume," sit/macerate a little while, to get what everyone else detects? I just got it yesterday, so that's possible. Either way, as of right now, I am currently getting soft, powdery, sweet-woodsy, resinous fragrance. It's very nice, and super layerable. I like it. UPDATE: I've worn this off and on within the past month; it has gotten sweeter, and slightly more lactonic, but it's still a sweet, resinous fragrance for the most part. Reminds me of a lipstick/makeup. Still very pretty.

first off, got 2 say this is the best dupe of crybaby that i have came across considering i owned the original by melanie martinez, the cute baby bottle n' all. i tested between a strip i had of the og (i lost the bottle within a move, RIP) it smells almost the exact same, but i would say PTP is a little bit more powdery & crybaby has a more artificial almost sour strawberry scent... ick, never liked that part. but to those who are not familiar with either: oakcha's praise the perfume is a lovely scent of childlike wonder swirling a giant strawberry milkshake with a paper straw with tinges of baby powder in the air. wearing it it goes on sweet berries but simmers down into caramely woods. it fades away after about ⁓5h so keep it in ur bag 2 refresh up, it comes in a nice pink magnetic box telling u to do so anyways. much luv <3333

I never owned the scent Cry Baby so I can't speak if this is a true dupe or not but I do know the singer Melanie Martinez's work, songs and aesthetics. I would have to base my judgement on Praise the Perfume as if were a stand alone scent and not a dupe. To me, it hits the mark. It aligns to the story that Cry Baby is telling with it's notes. On me, it smells like a gourmand. I get the berry/strawberry scent with a caramelized lactonic scent. It is sweet and powdery and from time to time, the caramel /candy scent comes through. The sillage is potent. I oversprayed and it was overpowering. I get away with sprays on my wrist, neck and hair. A little goes a long way. Love this scent!

I remember smelling the crybaby perfume went I went to the k-12 show years ago and honestly this is so similar, the only difference being it’s just a bit more powdery but not in a gross way, it smells very light and pretty. It has the exact same soft scent trail . It’s really accurate but If it was more milky/lotion and with a little more of a lipstick kind of rubbery note in the background, I think this would be dead on. Although I’m impressed because it’s actually addicting to smell. And it’s stronger. it smells like if you were wearing powdery lotion, drinking milk and berries. And made it into a soft pretty scent 🍼 (I own the perfume now and I still reach for this one too)

Instant love at first sniff✨ It’s what I hoped to be when I got Burberry’s Her Elixir and Lattafa’s Yara (pink) as well as Bath & Body Works’ Strawberry Snowflakes. Got the sweet and creamy right away, no tart or sour effects. The bubble is as wide as 6 feet with 3-4 sprays a coworker did, I could smell it when I walked by where she sat in the room. I wore it a few days later and sprayed 3 — 1 behind each ear and one on the chest. I enjoyed smelling it throughout the day at work and still smelled it radiating as I sat on my porch that evening before my shower. I love it so much!

They could never make me hate you. 💜 ‘Praise the Perfume’ has been a mainstay in my collection since release. ‘Marshmallow Mist’ is absolutely the cute little sister to this. I see the resemblance to ‘Pink Sugar’ but this is miles ahead in composition and refinement. I get powdery spun sugar and light airy woods here; it comes off very cotton candy to my nose. 😇

I never smelt the original, so I can't say how similar it is. I do however really enjoy this on its own. Leans more tart and sweet. Smells like a tart strawberry and caramel milky candy to me. A little juvenile but I still love it. One of my personal favorites. Lasts long on my skin with the right prep and the projection is pretty good too.

Very cute smell that I can’t describe. I do not have the Melanie Marrinez Crybaby perfume so I cannot compare but in itself, it’s a really nice cute smell. I have a lot of other sweet perfumes but I find it smells kinda like Milkis with strawberries. It’s a cute smell. Also lasts long.

I love this perfume so much. Candy like sweetness but at the same time smells kind of like a very good shampoo lol I wouldn't say it's a "clean girl" scent though despite me just describing it as a shampoo!

I never smelled Crybaby but I love this for what it is regardless. It’s powdery, lactonic & sweet - but not cloying in the way Burberry Her is or juvenile in the way Pink Sugar is. I really adore it.

In love! I know nothing of the original's scent and idrc anymore. I also have All Cried Out, but I prefer this way more. I can handle the "overhwelming" sweetness in this. Praise the perfume indeed!

after having it macerate for quite some time i can say this is a lot nicer than when i first bought it!!! it’s a lot creamier and milkier now, and the dry down is really nice.

It smells like strawberry lemonade on me for some reason lol and then lemon-y pez candy haha

I also never tried the original cry baby perfume, but the packaging and innocent description really drew me in. I am obsessed with that soda pop type lime scent that so few perfumes tend to utilize... I didn't know what to expect with this perfume. And I need to say, fresh Out of the box I was extremely disappointed. I don't understand why but I couldn't smell it at all. It had zero sent. I sprayed 9 to 10 pumps all over me and the room and I couldn't smell anything. A faint Pink sugar scent if anything. So I set the bottle down and a couple days later I went to give it another spritz. The lime hit me first, and brought a huge smile to my face. That's when I started to smell the lactonic, milky sugary vibes with a hint of berries. Still, it was very weak. I ended up finishing the entire bottle in a couple weeks because I would spray triple the amount of sprays I would usually use on a perfume. I don't know if it was just me, or the particular batch I bought but it was like pulling teeth to get any lasting fragrance out of this. I loved the scent it was aiming to be but dear God, make it more concentrated or stronger! I'm gonna try another brands dupe next.

from what i remember of the original crybaby perfume bottle i lost (one of my biggest regrets in life, lol), oakcha's praise the perfume version smells close to it. however, it has this heaviness that i feel defines it apart from the crybaby perfume. i get hints of lipstick and an abundance of woodiness compared to the original. it smells like you're in a cabin in the woods while strawberry custard tarts are baking. it's a pretty heavy scent in that a little goes a long way, and i used it quite often in the fall and winter and went through almost 2 bottles and i'm still on the 2nd. it's great for when you're going on a sweet date and definitely want to noticed! my favorite perfume dupe for the original crybaby is montagne parfums' strawberry milk <33

Worn several times and I love it. I never smelled the OG, so I can't compare it. But it's wonderful. For some reason it smells like Burberry Her Elixir to me. To the point I'd argue it could be a dupe for it. Very fruity, comfortably lactonic, very wearable powder and woody notes. Super feminine and perfect for spring. The only odd thing I would note is that it kinda reminds me of scented dolls that I had as a kid in the late 90's-early 2000's. Something about it brings up nostalgia there. Lasts super long on me also. A good 9+ hour wear time on my skin. But overall, it's basically a Burberry Her Elixir dupe.

Like many buyers before me, I have not smelled the original, but I was very intrigued by the demand and the notes, so I went for it. I disliked it on day one because I found it more powdery than anything, also I used too much. But after a few months I grew to love it after it had settled, and didn't apply it directly to the skin (I walk into the spritz). While I still wish it was more "strawberry milk" I do kinda dig the fact it makes me smell like a doll.
