Double Dates

One of my favourites, if not my favourite perfume I’ve ever owned. I’m on my third bottle. I’m obsessed. I will never understand any negative reviews about this perfume. I just think though that in order to love this scent, you must be a true gourmand lover, like you have to enjoy deep rich ALMOST sickeningly sweet scents. Because “Double Dates” is very sweet. It’s incredible honestly. To me it’s very much like caramel cupcakes with decadent vanilla frosting. The brown sugar and toffee notes really transform this into the gorgeous baked-good scent it is, in my opinion of course. This perfume is also honestly the one I get most complimented on, the most in my entire life actually. My coworker always tells me I smell like freshly baked muffins. On several different occasions when I’m at the store I’ve walked by/around strangers and instantly heard them say how good it smells, like cake. My cousin always asks to spray this on her when she sees me because she says it smells so good and she knows it’s ALWAYS in my bag. I will never leave my house without having this bottle on me. I love it so much. I think I want this one forever.

This scent profile reawakened my enthusiasm for perfumes. I absolutely loved it. I do not find it to be the same as sticky dates. I actually hated sticky dates and found it just very loud and abrasive. This is so much more buttery smooth soft and sweet. The dates almost come off as cold in the opening like an ice cream and then the syrup-y buttery caramel like it’s been dripping on a vanilla sundae it comes in with this enveloping warmth. In the dry down I get a smokey marshmallow and cocoa butter. Almost leaning chocolate-y... My only qualm is with skylar I do not get good projection and it doesn’t last very long. So I am reapplying it often.

As a sticky dates owner, you know how lush just has that organic hippy earthy tones to their scents? Well with double dates, you just don’t get that at all so you can pick what you like. With double dates it smelled yummy with the first spray and then once it sit on my skin, it just blended so well with my chemistry that it smelled like straight up vanilla brown sugar ice cream. Very true and realistic. Doesn’t smell like plastic, play dough or fake and it does not smell strongly of alcohol ugh YES! Finally! I’m tired of all these perfumes and sprays smelling very strongly of alcohol. It was a win for me🩵

Smells really good. On me, it’s a deep brown sugar almost coffee smell and reminds me a bit of Amore Caffe so I really like it. I’ve never smelled Sticky Dates so I couldn’t compare the two. I bought the roller ball and I like that I can keep it in my purse. I’m not sure if I would buy a full bottle because it does remind me of something I already have but it’s nice. Doesn’t last very long - maybe 3-4 hours but I’m not always into “beast mode” long lasting fragrances cause I can find that to be annoying. For those that like to layer, I think this is a great option.

This is good~ It smells extremely similar to Lush Sticky Dates. Sweet dates. However this one is softer/fluffier not as harsh as Lush. This is not a powerhouse but holds it own at arms length and it dwindles down to nothing over 4-5 hours. I think this is the perfect price for a tried and true fabulous scent - one that you may or may not have to reapply to get you through your event. This screams holiday season!
