Cheap, but still Yum
Out of the endless YBM dupes that have exploded into the perfume world in the past year, this is surprisingly the first one I've tried. Note, I have not tried YBM, but based on the notes, this is obviously another that has hopped onto the strawberry-marshmallow train (especially along with the fact that Choco Musk Pistachio Concentrated Perfume came out with it.. cough cough YPG), but with the Choco Musk spin. Just a thought, I don't really care about everyone doing this DNA, nor about finding the "perfect" YBM dupe, I just enjoy these notes and could afford to grab this.
Second note, I have not tried the original Choco Musk. I always hear about it being pretty good, but I don't particularly want to smell like chocolate, and this sounded way more up my alley. Again, not here to compare since I haven't tried it. Just giving context here.
Anyways.. This is pretty good. Nice strawberry marshmallow scent, very sweet, honestly not too synthetic to me. It smells very familiar and I can't put my finger on it (ETA- I figured it out- the marshmallow note is reminiscent of Lucky Charms marshmallow pieces). Strawberry is stronger right out the gate and it's settling down to be more vanilla-marshmallow forward with the hint of strawberry, and the coco and amber are chilling in the background. I get nothing overly "synthetic" "cheap" or "screechy" out of it. Also, smelling the applicator itself, I get a very very slight citrus note, but that is gone on the skin- I believe this settling on to skin is what makes the strawberry note come forward. But, I'd definitely recommend it for being 5 dollars. Will update about longevity and drydown after it's been a few hours, as I literally just put it on.
Update: Marshmallow coco scent stays reaching my nose from this being on my inner arms. Stays quite sweet, losing the fresh fruityness and becoming very fluffy and creamy. This is when I realized the similarity with Lucky Charms.
Final update: I believe it has reached its furthest drydown, only after about 3 hours, but I applied it very lightly. The final state of this is a very clean, sweet skin scent. A weird thought I keep having- I keep thinking of carpets when I smell it in this state. Like a very clean, fresh, warm, fuzzy carpet. That is sweet for some reason. I can't really explain why, but it just makes me think of laying on the floor at a friend's house when I was a kid.. odd scent memory moment there, and I can't imagine how someone's carpet would smell like this, but that's what it's doing to my brain. But my final opinion is that I do love this scent.
