Computer says: “Süüüss”

I bravely take the bottle in my hand.
Sprüüühhhhhh...
Citrusy sweet opening.
Cotton candy and popcorn cuddle up to the lemon.
It's actually a nice idea.
However, it unfortunately becomes synthetic here.
Basically, this is what you would expect if you tasked a soulless perfumer computer with artificial intelligence (let's assume such a thing has already been developed) to create a sweet gourmand fragrance.
Then, this is exactly the kind of carnival gourmand that would come out:

Top note: Lemon
Heart note: Laboratory caramel, diabetes
Base note: Play-Doh vanilla, cotton candy

A fun scent that would definitely make a lot of sense at a Christmas market or carnival. But how often do you hang out there?
It's crazy that Acqua e zucchero by Profumum Roma is supposed to be a scent twin.
The thought of having spent 2 euros/ml and then smelling like THIS is somehow bizarre…
Anyway, for the nice 13-year-old next door, Soft by Al Rehab is certainly not the worst fragrance.
She will have fun with it for a long time (6 hours +) and really EVERYONE in her girl clique will be able to smell her, even the one with acute sinusitis.

Ladies' stuff... scream and giggle...
And no, I was the "And-the-next-ride-goes-backwards-Queen" on the roller coaster, which by the way was called "Himalaya" here. I'm not hanging out with the scooter proletariat... tss... outrageous...

I have that one in my ladies' collection too :-) Because I read on Fragrantica that it’s supposed to be similar to Unknown Pleasures by Kerosene. Well, sort of, but no...

And when I first read it, I saw: 'Computer says goodbye'

I would have totally typed "Computer says no." The 7.5 is confusing me now. Quite a mess here. ;-)
