Nice scent but very low throw
This scent is sweet, dirty, and smoky. The dirt note is actually pleasant and wearable. It has a chillier, more autumnal vibe to it, like a fall carnival after dark or something of the like. I don’t much of the berries, if at all, it’s really just sugary, smoky dirt that’s somehow delightful.
The berries and sugar gave more of a cotton candy vibe to me. Mixed with the smokiness and dirty smell that I reminded me of incense, it was like a sweet and dirty mix. Personally, I didn’t like it at all.
Not so sweet berries and a little smoke and dirt that’s not overpowering at all
Definitely true to the name! Smells fantastic right out of the bottle, truly blackened sugar. Definitely more smoky and not caramelized sweetness, which I appreciate. It’s a non-sugary sugar. I personally find the longevity and throw quite strong on this, despite my skin devouring most scents. The only downside is this transforms to something that I can only describe as ‘mainstream’ a few hours in – it almost smells like an alcohol based perfume to me.
This is a pleasant, sweet scent – but there are many perfumes that do this better, such as Black Vanilla from CocoaPink, The brown sugar and vanilla are the most prominent scents for me. Longevity is a little on the short side (4-5 hours).
