Cotton Candy Heymountain Cosmetics Extrait de Parfum

I don't know why I chose this fragrance as my first review here. Maybe because he stood there so lonely without any review?

According to the manufacturer, the (the?) extract contains orange oil and mimosa,tuberose and vanilla absolute. All of which you can sniff out and results in the most beautiful cotton candy scent in the world. Imagine standing at the snack counter at the movies (well, back when you could just go to the movies) and there's a huge amount of very fresh, golden brown, warm, delicious popcorn rotating in the machine right now. Just like that. Sweet and soft and warm and tutu-puffy. A sugar-wadded pink girl's dream, just like it.

The first thing I bought from the brand back in the day was the Cotton Candy hair cream. I love that. Well, the cream and the scent. Especially the scent. When then at some point it was announced that the company is closing, the panic rat awoke abruptly and tempted me, because there was no more cream, to buy the perfume. Without the fragrance my life would be meaningless, I felt.
Thoughts about whether I would actually want to wear this fragrance as a perfume, I didn't think about it. I think most here can easily relate to that - when something beloved is in danger of soon being out of stock, such considerations play a secondary role at best.

The orange is clearly to smell in the opening, but not dominant. No, from the beginning it is in balance and symbiosis with a warm, floral-vanilla note, which moves after twenty, thirty minutes something in the foreground.
Does not change the fragrance otherwise in the course great - towards the end, when it begins to fade, one perceives mainly warm, still sweet vanilla.

The sillage, on a scale of 1-10, is about... uh, 12? So you really have to work with microscopic dosages (half a spray, or touch the bottle briefly is quite enough), if you do not want to risk that half the office falls into a sugar coma or the house cat holds a crucifix towards you if you get too close to him.
The durability effortlessly 12 hours on skin. On clothes you smell the scent even after a week.

So would I use the fragrance as a perfume now? No, rather not. I'm quite (at least when I'm in the mood) on gourmandige, sweet fragrances, but this is but something like an overkill. As a perfume mind you.

Nonetheless, this Cotton Candy scent is much appreciated and loved by me. I'm glad to have it, and I'm not sorry for a second about the money spent either.
I sometimes sniff the bottle, think "oooh, how pretty this is" and lovingly put it back in its place in the display case. Until the next time.
