To Be Tattooart

Powdery Marshmallows in the base with a tiny amount of Sandalwood with some creamy fruits - it has the Freesia & a little heliotrope of Lacoste Pour Femme & so is like a slightly fruitier little sister to that one - pretty, youthful & kind of playful; I'm kind of impressed with this pink skull perfume. Lasts extremely well - good lasting power on skin with 2 sprays & lasts forever on clothes, I put my silk scarf on my chair in the bedroom yesterday & today I picked it up & I could smell this almost as if I'd just sprayed it, yet the perfume was on me; I didn't actually/ deliberately spray it on my scarf or clothes. I first smelled this on a lady in John Lewis & was intrigued because I hadn't smelled it before - she said her sister had a bottle & she thought it was pretty & cute so she'd bought ber own (125ml) bottle - & though I find it youthful it's nothing that couldn't be worn by any age - it's well blended & the notes go well together & I remember how hugely popular Lacoste Pour Femme was, I think anybody who liked that would like this (& likes anything slightly sweet & a little fruity would like it too) I've never purchased any Police perfumes, but this pretty perfume has made me want to try some others of their range; & I would say anything marshmallow was my sort of thing really but this isn't as Sweet as some, it's cute & not too sweet +if you like the Skulls & Mexican Day of the Dead Artwork, these are very Collectible (I do know somebody who collected them all, in these largest bottles because she loves the Artwork & wears the perfumes - the brand wasn't on my radar but will be now I think - who knew? PS) My bottle smells lovely, I wondered if some ppl on here didn't get Discounters bottles that had gone off a bit bc mind is quite fresh, & fluffy powdery marshmallows + just a little almost like a "suede" note - with the Freesia & tiny amount of heliotrope - making it even more like Lacoste Pour Femme; but it's v pretty - nothing like "burnt plastic" at all!

Why is this not talked about more as a marshmallow fragrance? This is literally an original, sophisticated take on the note. 🎇To Be Tattoo Art seriously surprised me: It's NOT JUVENILE, has great DEPTH, well-blended with classic & unique character to it. The bottle is HIGH quality: yes it's a skull but it doesn't look cheap. Beautiful/tasteful bottle design (and I hate skulls) that has a significant weight to it (ceramic-like). The opening to this fragrance is pleasantly sour from plums (these are not candy plums like in Marc Jacobs Decadence) and apple blossom🍏. Gradually Tattooart develops into a lush, slightly powdery heliotrope, violet, a dash of rose, the creamy marshmallow follows... But this NEVER becomes cloying, unbearably sweet or too powdery like Ariana Grande perfumes or D&G Pour Femme/Pour Femme Intense. It doesn't smell anything like them at all! Honestly first time I'm trying a winter marshmallow fragrance that's not LVEB/FB level sweetness. 💖Lasting power is great: so far it's been 7 hours on my skin and its STILL a strong woody, apple blossom/heliotrope, marshmallow blend. Silage is definitely arms length, at the 3 hour mark it still radiates. The dry down is the true star of this perfume: I wore this before going out and my mother asked me if I was wearing the original Tresor by Lancome! Verdict: It's unique, smells MORE EXPENSIVE than it is, fantastic in winter and fall ESPECIALLY in office environment. Fully recommend as To Be Tattooart is surprisingly elegant.

The 'HUG-ME' ACCORD with Powdery Marshmallow, Maple & Apple-Blossom (Instead of Peach). My first thought when smelling this was the original Trésor Lancôme although this isn't a dupe and it's more of a cross between Trésor Lancôme and Lacoste Pour Femme. However I do get the 'Hug-Me' accord made famous by perfumer Sophia Grojsman, and that features in many of her compositions. Opens with a sweet burst of maple sap rounded out by plum, apple-blossom & freesia. That deepens into the sweet, powdery floral heart featuring heliotrope, and resting on a powdery marshmallow base. Overall it's a powdery, sweet fruity floral updated with maple, instead of the peach that was often used in this type of composition (Trésor, Ex'c!a-ma'tion, Venezia Pastello...). Excellent performance for a year round wearing experience. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 06/03/24: Wearing this one today, and noticing the marshmallow & maple are more forward than I remember - this ages nicely. Sort of a marshmallow Trésor. The notes for My Naked Truth Oriflame look closest to this, although I haven't smelt that one. Still a love.

This perfume smells really cute! The opening is very powdery, almost like the scent of baby powder. However that subsides very soon after spraying and what left is the sweet marshmallow and maple syrup scent with subtle heliotrope in the background. I also detect some mild woodsy notes in the dry down. Beautiful and adorable! To my nose this perfume doesn't smell anything like what I would imagine to be the "synthesis of modern femininity and seductive power" as in the ad campaign above. It's rather sweet and innocent. Nice rather than naughty I'd say. It's inoffensive but also unique. I don't think I've ever smelt this on other people before. For these reasons I can see myself wearing this perfume very often, so this is a "love" for me. Sillage is moderate. For the first 2-3 hours it radiates no more than an arm length, after that it becomes a skin scent that lasts all day (8hrs+)

i wore this on a winter night in February wearing a tomboyish fit even though my makeup and hair looked very girlie. i walked in a café and every single person in that café turned their heads looking mesmerized by my scent. i sprayed it in the car before going in and bam, turned heads. they all looked mesmerized by the scent and so was i tbh even though i wasn’t so sure. to me it smells very powdery with a hint of metallic, floral clean and slightly sweet which i suppose comes from the marshmallow notes! it’s not my favorite scent but i know it did something that night and its sillage is quite good. thought i’d wear it everyday then but i ended up choosing other perfumes from my vanity. i associate it with a funny cool memory though and remember it turning heads that night ;)
