Barbe a Papa

My first review stated that this is an awful, chlorine-like scent of middling quality, and I'm coming back to eat my words. Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's macerating. Whatever it was has certainly done me a favor. Have you ever been in a situation where you could use some extra cash, and then - voila - you find an old bag or clothing with a blessing in your pocket? Miraculous, truly. This to me is that kind of situation under the fragrant light. You know how the first stage is denial. I sprayed it in the bathroom a few months ago and instantly felt shocked that it didn't smell revolting the way I remembered, the way that had had me rushing to the bathroom to wash it off. The first attempt to wear it on skin again was surprisingly not as disastrous as I'd expected and I still couldn't believe my, well, nose, clear as I remembered pulling away in disgust upon smelling this before. But it's oh so good now. I get strawberry milk and gingerbread and musk, the better kind. Perfumey but much less than you'd expect for the price. This is everything I love: smooth and creamy, saccarine but gentle, pure crystalline white musk that smells like fairy dust. It's like a baby pink lace veil, the magical allure of innocence. The fragrance also becomes more lasting with time, I could spray it on a couple hours before going to bed, wake up and still smell it for a while, and for a moderately lasting, extra sweet perfume it is never in your face. As for other technical specifications, it is linear, and for something named "Cotton Candy" in French, like some reviews below state, it's not cotton candy-forward at all, although I don't think it would be any better if it was. Nothing can outdo Pink Sugar in terms of cotton candy scents, however this is so good as is that it earned a spot on my favorites folder, and I have over 70 frags to choose from. Some perfumes really deserve a second chance. I'm glad it happened to me because this stuff is probably the best you can have for $20, and it's what sweet dreams are made of. Smells the way Les Sucettes by France Gall sounds in the best way possible.

I really like the fragrances from Tutti Delices, what initially attracted me to this particular brand is the fact that I have a sweet tooth I love sweets and desserts and their perfumes are all inspired by sweets, and the packagings for their perfumes are so creative and cute! Another reason that makes Tutti Delices perfumes appealing is their cheap price, here in Australia they usually cost about AU$20 each, I bought them when they were on sale for $15 each. I bought all 4 of their signature perfumes, this cotton candy one, as well as the vanilla caramel, candy apple and strawberry sweet. I'm not a big fan of sugary sweet perfumes in general, but I mainly bought these because of their insanely adorable packagings! This cotton candy scented fragrance is 1 of my favs from this particular brand, the notes are very accurate and the sugary cotton candy note is very prominent in this. Even though I do love the smell of these Tutti Delices perfumes, I probably would not wear any of them on myself when I go out because they are just too sweet for me to wear on myself, while I do love eating desserts and sweets, I don't particularly want to smell like one! I'll probably just use them as room refresheners, but if you love to wear sweet sugary perfumes then these Tutti Delices perfumes would be perfect for you.

Second bottle purchase, I went thru my original in about 3 months. Literally emptied the bottle and I never do that! I'm telling you straight up as a cotton candy ho this is a 95% dupe of HOS Minnie Mouse, just not as jammy. If you're into sweet sweet gourmands and cotton candy scents this will definitely be your love! Of all the cotton candy scents I own (at least 11, Boardwalk Delight, Unicorn Fruit, Zuccherro Filato, Sucre de coton, Demeter Cotton candy, Sugar Milk Grape cotton candy, bbw cotton candy clouds, Boardwalk taffy, pastel skies, body fantasies cotton candy, vs sugar blur, the land of ahhs cotton candy) and THIS is hands down my favorite and the most realistic, realistic meaning freshly churned fair cotton candy where you can smell sugar crystals in the air, not the cheaper already bagged shit, the real deal, iykyk! Silliage is pretty non existent and longevity isn't good but it's such a nice scent, and at this price just reapply! Just get it, it's a French cheapie that rivals a $250 fragrance to perfection

Totally gorgeous. I bought this and Fraise Bonbon for my daughters 13th birthday. She loves them both. It’s lovely and sweet without that screechy sickly generic stink that most cheap young perfumes smell of. It is not migraine inducing at all. This is so well blended for such an affordable or dare I say “cheap” perfume. Cheap in $$$ not in quality. It has a fizzy fruit tingle edge and a dusting of soft sugar powder. It’s delightful and totally appropriate for young teens. It smells yummy, young and lighthearted which is what we want our young girls to smell like. And look how cute the packaging is! It’s too too cute, the bottle is a cupcake. So sweet looking and the fact that it’s made in France and has lovely French names is even more appealing. Makes the whole experience special.

This is such an awful scent. I'm not sure how to describe it properly, I did smell something like this before but my mind just won't let me recall it, probably for my own good. To give an approximate description, it's like a cheap grocery store cupcake dipped in a particularly unpleasant fabric softener. Chlorine-like smell made artificially sweet. Maybe that's what happens when the musks used are cheap and low quality. This is the first time a fragrance literally makes me sick to my stomach. Fortunately it was easy to wash off and it doesn't cost a mortgage payment so no harm done. As a Pink Sugar enjoyer, previously I'd gladly give cheap frags a shot but not so sure anymore. Maybe I'm turning into a perfume snob.
