Boardwalk Delight

Beautiful, Sweet, Beachy, aquatic/marine, fresh, fruity, creamy, warm, powdery, musky, feminine, charming, flirty, playful, uplifting, fun, cheerful, delightful, tempting, inviting, sensual I feel like possibly the best way to describe this is to say that it’s like the classic Pink Sugar, except it’s on a beach vacation. It’s that sugary sweet cotton candy scent with vanilla, but it’s lighter, softer, more fresh, more aquatic, and with a tropical coconut twist. There’s a warm and gentle salty ocean breeze that carries some creamy coconut and fresh and juicy raspberry sorbet on it. The deeper into the dry down it gets the more warm and sensual it becomes. The warm, creamy, and sensual vanilla, the sugary sweet, delightful, delicious, and delicate cotton candy, and the golden warmth of the amber all become more prominent and really start to shine. The soft and powdery musk peeks through too, but it’s very subtle. It’s not very prominent at all, but it’s more to just enhance the other notes, while helping to round out the fragrance nicely. This is very well balanced... it’s fresh yet cozy, cool yet warm, aquatic yet creamy, sugary sweet yet delicate, cheerful yet sensual, and yummy yet sophisticated. I love how it balances out so well so that none of the notes are overpowering. Even though it’s a sugary sweet scent it’s not too sweet as to be cloying even in the heat. It has a delicate feel to it too which makes it a very easy reach. This definitely feels feminine to me, and I think women of any age can wear it. It does have just a slightly youthful feel to it imo, but please don’t let that deter you. Like I previously mentioned it’s also sophisticated, so it’s perfect for those of us who enjoy sweet and gourmand scents at any age. It’s just very beautifully done. I personally prefer this for the spring and summer months because of the beachy feel to it, but it’s not so beachy/coconut prominent that it couldn’t be worn during anytime of the year. I think this is fitting for most occasions other than something fancy. It’s definitely an excellent casual scent, and is fitting for work or school too. It’s very pleasant, on the softer/more intimate side of perfumes, and non-offensive. I do own and enjoy several Skylar fragrances, but Boardwalk Delight is my favorite. I also have Vanilla Sky, Caramel Alps, Fall Cashmere, Sweet Morningside, Nude Skin, and Lime Sands (my least favorite, it was a surprise freebie with an order). I’m a big fan of beachy, sweet, vanilla, and gourmand scents, and Boardwalk Delight just happens to hit all of those categories. For reference, some of my other favorites include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, PDM Oriana, Phlur Heavy Cream, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Burberry Goddess, Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau So Sweet, Pink Sugar, Gold Sugar, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ Coco Cabana 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Coco Paradise, Oahu Coconut Sunset, At The Beach, Beach Nights, and Vanilla Romance. I get good performance with Boardwalk Delight. The longevity is pretty decent, it lasts about 6-7 hours on me before I feel like it needs touched up. The projection is nice, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

Sweet, vanilla, powdery, aquatic, fruity, bright, fresh, creamy, coconut, warm, musky, feminine, flirty, playful, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, uplifting, cheerful, yummy, cozy, comforting, unique On me this opens sweet, fresh, and watery with bright raspberry and slightly tart apple swirled with creamy coconut milk and fresh watery notes. As it dries down it grows more sweet and warm as the delicate and sweet cotton Candy, powdery vanilla, soft musk, and warm amber start to shine through. Such a truly delightful yummy fragrance! This is super pretty and surprisingly a bit unique too. I’m a huge gourmand fan, and particularly enjoy marshmallow and cotton candy scents. I do have a few of the ones in the reminds me section, but I don’t think that this is super similar to them. This feels like floating on a sweet and powdery cloud of cotton Candy over a boardwalk. It’s sweet and yummy, but also a bit fresh and watery with a subtle fruity accord. I do kind of agree with the people saying that this has a waffle cone scent to it, as well as the reviewer below about this being like the older and more sophisticated sister of Pink Sugar (another love of mine). This feels quite feminine, and even though it’s sweet still feels suitable for women of any age. It feels best suited for spring, summer, and fall. This feels best suited for more casual occasions. I get decent performance with this. The longevity is around 6 hours, and the projection is on the moderate side. I do have other Skylar fragrances including Vanilla Sky, Fall Cashmere, Caramel Alps, Nude Skin, and Sweet Morningside. Boardwalk Delight is my favorite of the ones I own. For reference, some of my other favorite gourmands include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Angels Share, GDT Celeste, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, 39, 62, VS Vanilla Lace, BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Cotton Candy Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries, Bonfire Bash

If you are looking for a sweet, adult, feminine perfume, look no further. I want to start off by saying that I prefer sweeter perfumes. I love the smell of spun sugar, vanilla, marshmallow, brown sugar, taffy, caramel, cotton candy, cupcakes, etc. I love the smell of an edible perfume. If it makes me crave something sweet to eat, then I want to wear it. I used to wear Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears, Pink Sugar by Aquolina, and all of the sweet BBW & VS sprays. That was when I was in my teens and 20's. Now that I'm older, I still prefer the sweeter scents, but now I want to smell my age and not like a teenager. Some of my staples are Prada Candy, V&R Bonbon, Kilian LDBS, and Sol De Janeiro Cheirosa 62. I received Boardwalk Delight as a sample, and I immediately fell in love with it. It's sweet without being too sweet. It lasts a long time. It smells just as the name portrays. When I wear it alone, it reminds me of taffy, funnel cakes, cotton candy, and candied apples. It's so mouthwatering and yummy. I purchased the full-size bottle right away. Another wonderful thing about this perfume is that it layers nicely with just about anything else I wear that I want to have a sweeter note. I do not like woody or earthy scents. Having said that, I have a couple of woody scents that are too overpowering alone, so to counter that I layer Boardwalk Delight on top of those earthy scents and then I have a delicious campfire marshmallow perfume. It also layers well with any perfumes that have coffee or chocolate notes. I would recommend this perfume to anyone that enjoys a delicious, sweet scent that doesn't smell cheap, synthetic, or too girly. I've tried Cloud by AG. It smells somewhat similar but certainly doesn't have the longevity that BD does. I think this is an excellent blind buy for those with sweeter tastes like me.

This smells like the end of summer. This is an airy sweet cotton candy scent that is youthful and playful not childish. The watery notes elevate Boardwalk Delight. This does not smell like briny sea water; it just smells aquatic. I pick up something else that is sheer and sweet but I have a hard time determining what it is. Overall, I find the scent to be addicting, refreshing, and fun. Now for the negatives; performance is average at best and inconsistent at its worst. Some days the performance is ok, other days it’s poor. I wore this during my beach vacation and Boardwalk Delight would just evaporate off of my skin in the humidity. This seems to do better indoors in a mild temperature-controlled environment. I wore this to work when I wanted something a little more fun but not loud and this was perfect. I see some of the negative views state that they pick up a soapy smell and I did not get that at all. A complaint I do have is that the cap is very difficult to remove. Which is interesting because I also own Fall Cashmere and that bottle cap cannot stay put. This layers beautifully, some of my suggestions are Ariana Grande Pink Woods and Cloud Pink, Cheirosa 68, BBW Cotton Candy Clouds, and Floral Street Wonderland Peony . But my favorite must try layering combo is Boardwalk Delight and BBW Pistachio Glaze. This smelled like a carnival in the best way possible. The salty, sugar, and nutty notes in Pistachio Glaze were the perfect complement to Boardwalk Delight. I love this scent, this is literally Labor Day and you are waiting on a beach boardwalk at sunset for the end of summer fireworks show to start. But I have to rate it an 8/10 because of the inconsistent performance.

Based on reviews such as "plastic, young, and cheap smelling", I've held off for 2yrs in buying this Boardwalk Delight by Skylar. $75 for something that smells as described? No way! However, ya'll already know Im'ma always on the hunt for a good sale. And yes, honey, I got it at a great price for a blind buy. I had mentally prepared myself for disappointment. I mean, if someone is letting it go for this low a price, I mean... am I right?! Came in, let it sit 24hrs (that's how unexcited I was when it arrived). Well? I friggin LOVE it!!! Its grown airy cotton candy w/JUICY, watery, summer berry medley juice. Yes, yes, yes! I wouldn't say "young" rather, I'd say "Playful". I wouldn't say cheap, I'd say sometimes we want to kick our heels off, and just wear comfy shorts and a cute Tee with our hair up in a pony tail. As for "Plastic", sometimes I am okay with sparkling wine out of a plastic champagne flute, and toss in some jammy berries. SALT is my very favorite from this line. I have a back up bottle of Salt and travel minis for my purse. Why bring Salt up in this review? Because there is defiantly a hint of Salt in Boardwalk Delight. I mean, can't have a Boardwalk without the the beach/ocean. This is Santa Cruz Fun! You have the Boardwalk, the ocean, the rides, the sweet and salty carnival food in the air, and of course the cotton candy!
