Nota Sugar

I have over 200 + FB and yet nothing like this. I love fruity floral in the warmer months and this is the first scent I adore the pineapple note. It doesn't overtake the scent as is the case so often with pineapple. The coconut lends a lactonic feel and paired with the musk, helitrope and tonka it's quite pleasant but doesn't get too loud of cloying. I love this but then again I look for fragrances that don't shout. This one will draw attention if you're in it's trail or within arms length of your bubble. It does smell like a fluffy Pina Colada but better. I wish I had sniffed the HOS scent most are comparing it too but sadly I have not. If you like tropical scents this is a good one, if you adore lactonic scents, you'll want to sample this. Not necessarily a true groumand but IMO the perfect balance between groumand notes and fruity/floral. I think this will be perfect for summer and the longevity is very good. At least 8-10 hrs and on textiles, days. Don't let the naysayers sway you, sample this. It's beautiful!

Yummy delicious Caramel covered sweet juicy pineapple , it's warm and sweet but not cloying at all . Sooo juicy . Like perfect summer gourmand. Like a Pina Colada but with caramel , perfect balance of juicy fruitiness and sticky sweet gourmand looove

I don’t understand how folks are saying this doesn’t last?... I’ve literally had to wash this out of my hair the next day from only spraying around my neck. Nota is sweet and potent. Over-spraying extraits will make you go nose blind quick.

It’s 2004 and you just purchased one of Jessica Simpson’s whipped body creams from her edible dessert line. Anyone wondering why Nota Sugar is nostalgic that’s probably why- it’s an early 2000s “it girl” in a bottle.

This does smell like a caramelized minnie from HOS with this light juicy sweet pineapple note added 😋 it this is good!!!!

Starts off as strong pineapple - syrupy, loud, sticky. Then, it becomes a younger sister to Vacation by Arquiste - tropical, beachy, sunscreeny. However the drydown does verge on nail polish remover, in that it's alcohol heavy and a bit screechy. This is a summer scent through and through. It projects like mad and it lasts absolutely forever. It will enter the room before you do. The price point is wild.

This is good, but I’m not sure if it’s full bottle worthy or not. It smells very nostalgic to me. I’ve definitely smelled this before and the only thing that comes to mind is a sun tan lotion(not sunscreen) that I used to wear in the early 2000’s.

It's a sweet perfume with a tropical twist but dies down within 4 hours on skin. Dry down is a melted caramel hug. If you like sweet perfumes that aren't over the top then this one is worth a try.

at first the smell reminded me of some types of gummy candy (the smell of haribos) and then it settles down and gets a more subtle fruity musk smell

I really like the drydown on this—it’s like a clean, berry pineapple lotion lol. But that first spray? Wild Berry GoGurt.😭

I agree with the previous few reviews. Soapy and sweet at the same time, from the incredibly screechy pineapple. Initial blast is a typical buttercream like Madera Omnia or Bianco Latte, but seconds later it becomes a very synthetic pineapple candy. If you'd compare a banana to a Banana Skid candy or a Jaffy Taffy you would be on point. Smells cheap and childish and as other reviewers said, a bit shampoo-ish. Mind you I usually very much enjoy vulgar gourmands. This one is simply not well done. I do not recommend it, I will wear it though because I'm trash like that. By the way, Ulyka is suspiciously close to our Scandinavian word "olycka"/"ulykke" which literally means an accident. As in a traffic collision. Quite fitting.

Strong blast of pineapple right off the bat, it made me cough when I put it up to my nose but it soon mellowed and other notes came forward. I can smell coconut too especially if I think of it but despite the pineapple and coconut this doesn’t come across as a “piña colada” fragrance like I’ve heard online. The caramel in this or at least the way it interacts with the pineapple has a very synthetic butter note to it. So it’s almost like a pineapple flavored buttered popcorn. It’s not repulsive but is not worth the price point. It’s definitely wearable in spring but the entire fragrance screams summer by the pool.

It’s not terrible, but it definitely took me back to my late teen/early 20s years of tanning beds. I swear it smells so much like it could be a Designer Skin tanning lotion. That tropical, pineapple type base with a thick lotion-like smell. That being said, I just cannot enjoy this scent as a perfume. Do I find it offensive? On first spray, yes actually - it really comes at you hard and loudly, but dry down, no, it mellows out quite a bit. Would I seek this out or recommend it? No.

This is a very shy, quiet tropical fragrance. The coconut and pineapple aren’t necessarily evident on my skin but there’s a fruitiness there. Mostly, especially in the dry down, it has a powdery aspect with fruit in the very background. It’s fluffy and musky. This fragrance is very gentle and somewhat sweet. I bet it blossoms a lot sweeter in the summer months. Right now, it’s winter so I’ll have to revisit this later this year. All in all, a very pleasant fragrance 🍍🥥☁️☁️

It smells a lot like HOS Minnie Mouse, with a ton more caramel. Very thick fragrance, I could see this being headache-inducing for some. It certainly doesn't smell bad, but at the same time I am not understanding the hype. I get no pineapple, no coconut. Just a thick caramel and artificial raspberry. I prefer the raspberry in PDM Oriana with a little bit of tartness, and I think that would have been helpful to counter the heavy caramel in this one.

The first spray for me was like a cheese danish... which, I like cheese danishes, but I'd rather eat one than slather it on my arms. I'm not getting pineapple yogurt like a lot of reviewers, though I can see where they're coming from. The tropical notes are very present, and I think the combination of coconut and base notes are what give it a lactonic presence. I don't hate it, but I also don't love it.

This smells like caramel candies dipped in pineapple syrup and sugar. It’s very interesting scent and I like it. I just feel it’s little too simple and basic for the price it is. It could make someone sick wearing this perfume on a hot day. I think this perfume would be great for younger age girls. I also don’t find it unisex.

Opening: It starts off nice — almost fooled me with the first sniff. Dry Down: Turns into a flat, syrupy mess. Completely loses its charm and feels like a bait-and-switch. Verdict: Not worth the money. Disappointing overall

The initial spray and first thirty seconds do somewhat remind me of Roja Lost in Paris (it is the butter accord), but don’t let it fool you, this is where similarities end. What you get afterwards is a synthetic smelling aroma that smells nothing even remotely close to Lost in Paris. Luckily, this has no sillage and I can only smell the chemical mess when I put my nose directly on the spot where I have tried this. Very synthetic and very poor performance.

This is the most sour fragrance I have ever smelled! I thought I was going to be sick when I first sprayed it. It took a good hour and a half for it to calm down, but even after that, and for the length of the fragrance's life I would still get wafts of sourness. It smelled very artificial until the drydown, at which point it was a skinscent and nice, but I would have to put my nose to my arm to smell anything. A definite pass for me.
