Strawberry Pound Cake

I've been on the hunt for the perfect strawberry fragrance. I've bought dozens so when I saw Paris Corner had released Strawberry Pound Cake, it was an easy blind buy. This isn't exactly what I was looking for, but I'm so glad I bought it. I was looking for a marshmallowy fresh strawberry, something sweet and nostalgic and fluffy. This is definitely fluffy and its definitely marshmallow, but in a much more grown-up way. The strawberry is a syrupy jammy yumminess and it's got a nuanced musk note that elevates the experience. I don't typically love musk, but in this it works really well. I love that this doesn't smell like anything else I own. The projection is arms length and the staying power is 4-5 hours.

very much photorealistic pound cake with creamy strawberry icing. does not smell like bbw at all, and in comparison, that one is a lot more synthetic smelling than this one. i was a little nervous seeing the coffee note tbqh, but you don't get any of it at all. mature and elegant, but still with that playful strawberry sweetness.

I am smelling all the notes above in the same order. This is fabulous.Creation. No dupe. Just open it, but pretty sure she is going to bloom and to be stronger especially on the milky drydown. Just wait if the longevity is missing 🩷

Loveeeeee this scent HOWEVER for some reason I have the fight for my life trying to open the bottle

Probably the worst longevity I have ever had in a fragrance. The opening is wonderful but it literally disappears so fast and dries down into nothing. Update: I've had it for 2 months now and it is far better in longevity and projection, though not a beast, I can significantly smell it much more for much longer. Also the smell has blended much better and I really love it. It has this light biscuity smell to it with strawberry jam layered between. It is cakey but more like an angel food cake, very soft and airy. Its not buttery or yeasty. I do get the milk as well though its not very standout but blended in. Its also not extremely sweet but it is sweet. Perhaps it would have helped to be a little sweeter, to give off the icing vibes the bottle conjures. I really like it anyway and Im glad I waited on it. I got the BBW strawberry poundcake in the meantime to scratch the itch and that one is definitely more synthetic and overwhelming. I also get way more strawberry here than there, the BBW emphasis is on the creaminess and sweetness but here I think they wanted to more accurately capture strawberry and cake, though I think they could have made it slightly more ultra dessert like the name implies, but its still cute and definitely a nice smelling perfume. Probably wont repurchase though as I like to be blown away. Further update: Wait a minute this has come together! It actually is far more full bodied, sweeter and ultra gourmand yummy strawberry jammy icing lickable now. I wish I hadn't sprayed about half of the bottle before it got to this stage! Now it is fully poundcake not angel cake. Wow guys keep it macerating for at least 3 months it will completely transform into deliciousness. Unfortunately these middle eastern brands are shooting themselves in the foot by releasing them when they dont smell nearly close to what they are actually designed to smell, cos a lot of people may write it off when it smells so piss poor in the beginning months. Anyway now I really love it, I can definitely see myself repurchasing this now.
