Since when do birds wear make-up?

This is extremely powdery and sweet with a lot of raspberry and vanilla, but with a weirdly bitter, dusty, musty twist. It smells very much like sweetly scented cosmetics, maybe a cream blush, compact foundation or even carnival make-up for kids, that aren't quite fresh and clean anymore.

The opening is especially strong on the bitter note, which I'm not a fan of. The drydown is more palatable, softer and fluffier. At this point I can also sense the rhubarb, even though this scent isn't as juicy and tart as what I'm used to from rhubarb notes, it has more of a dry fruitiness to it. I also don't get any sparkling champagne, and though there are darker notes in this, I wouldn't link them to patchouli or guaiac wood.

This is definitely a hot pink scent to my nose, mainly due to all the raspberry, but not as girly as the usual designer scents.

No idea what this could have to do with a bird. If this is a cockatiel, it's one on a neon-colored poster from the 80s. At least that's the image in my mind when I think of cockatiels while smelling this.
I find this kind of fun and quirky, but I wouldn't want to smell like it. If you're looking for vanilla, powder and red fruits, this is not exactly a safe blind buy. I kind of understand why some might feel queasy from this, even though it doesn't happen to me.

The image on the bottle is the cutest though!
