samanare Report post Posted June 3, 2018 It’s not quite as fun when you lose the key. Pink cotton candy, candied rose, and vanilla sugar. Rose and cotton candy on me. The rose fades faster than the sugar/cotton candy smell, making this, on me, more of a cotton candy smell on the long term. And the cotton candy smell sticks around for a decent amount of time. This reminds me of Un, but where Un is a hard candy, as opposed to Pink Fuzzy Handcuffs cotton candy smell. I also find Un to be a better dupe for Lush's Rose Jam. Overall, I wish the rose stuck around longer, though this is still a nice cotton candy/rose scent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teamama Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Irresistible for me: Beth's vanilla + rose blends make me sit up & beg. This is primarily candied rose with vanilla sugar on me. The cotton candy is suggested, & I do get a "fluffiness." Big fluffy throw at first, but it calms down to a very wearable medium-low throw. A real treat.

tinyvulture Report post Posted June 1, 2019 I love candied/vanilla florals. Candied rose...is this similar to Hope? I can't recall, I haven't sniffed that one in awhile. It's not screaming "cotton candy" in particular but there's definitely a sugary sweetness. This is a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggnerd Report post Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) This is a pink, sugared rose scent. It is cotton candy and sugared rose. My skin tends to amp sweetness so the rose is a background note so this is more candy and less floral. I made a body oil out of this and the scent hangs around for a long time on my skin and clothes.

Threemoons Report post Posted January 21, 2021 I got this one on a whim back when it ran. It's aged very well. On me it is a perfect 3-way of candied roses, cotton candy, and rock sugar. The roses have a lot more staying power now than when I first got this. Loving it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frills Report post Posted March 10 This one does remind me of Hope, but it never goes dusty on me like Hope does. The cotton candy isn't very prominent until it's been dried for a few hours but then I can sniff it up close. I love this one, the Lab does such beautiful sugared flower scents.

Failmingo Report post Posted March 25 Is this the right place to review the 2024 version? I didn't see a separate entry for it. Having enjoyed this one a great deal in its first run, I can say with confidence that the new one is exactly what I was expecting: the fluffy sweetness and warmth reminds me of standing over the cotton candy machine as the heated sugar filaments are wound around the stick, perfumed with just a breath of rosy elegance. It's a real mood-lifter for me! I have no proof of this, but would swear there's an unlisted pale musk element as well -- a nod to the fuzziness of the cuffs, perhaps. I think that's what keeps it airy and light through all the stages of drydown. Overall this seems to land at a very special intersection: playfully feminine without being cutesy, gourmand without going full foodie. So happy to have it back in rotation!

ND¢ Report post Posted April 3 Wow. Sweet, but not too sweet, and a perfectly jammy but very unique rose I really like! I never, EVER go for rose scents. Pretty unprecedented. Fun, cute, and settles down to a nice not-too obtrusive rose skin scent. Absolutely a mood elevator. Impossible not to feel like this is fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountaingrrl00 Report post Posted April 6 This is surprisingly enduring. It starts out a little synthetic-smelling -- I think that's actually how my nose is interpreting the rather green-chilly rose note -- but soon settles down to a soft, sugary vanilla marshmallow-like scent. As it warms on my skin, the rose blends with the vanilla and feels more pink than green. 24 hours later, it's a gorgeous soft sweetness lingering on my wrists.

eleanorsquish Report post Posted April 10 This is a sweet, soft, lovely scent that reminds me of Pink Snowballs. I have a love/hate relationship with rose fragrances, and this one is definitely in the love column. I find it to be very consistent and linear - there is very little change from the scent from the bottle through all stages on my skin. It's a sugary delicate rose with just a hint of fresh floral sharpness to keep it interesting. I don't specifically get cotton candy from this blend unless I think about it, and I don't find it overly sweet or cloying. Wearing it makes me feel feminine, delicate, and cozy and I feel like I'll reach for it often when I want something soft and beautiful that is appropriate for wearing in a crowd.

Cali Report post Posted May 28 Ugh noo this doesn't work on me!! The cotton candy is glorious, but the candied rose and i guess sugar smell like something i would expect to smell in a high-end bakery and are very in the foreground - it doesn't morph on my skin, as i'd hoped the cotton candy would amp and soften those notes a bit, but alas... The candy/sugary aspect just is too rough on me, too harsh. Guess this will have to go to someone that will (absolutely) love this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
