Dollar General Gem
I have looked far and wide for this fragrance locally- for months. It eluded me until last week. I was out, going to visit my mother in law. We stopped in the closest Dollar General before we got to her house. We were picking up snacks and a drink. I perused the Easter aisle before making my way towards the checkout. My husband was looking at the impulse buy section, so I turned around and eyed the beauty section for no particular reason. I turned the corner and there it was in all its cupcake, cheap body mist glory. Cupcake Swirl in a mini 3.2 fl oz bottle. It was the only one, displayed between Pink Vanilla Kiss and Cotton Candy. I didn't hesitate. I grabbed it and practically ran to checkout- my carbonated coke be damned. It seemed like hours waiting for everything to be scanned and bagged. The machine spent 3 light-years processing the payment. Finally, the cashier handed over a receipt, and I was out the door before he could say have a great day. Oh, but what a great day it was. In my excitement, I hadn't even bothered to smell or test the spray. A little dumb? Maybe but that's life. As I reached the car and sat in the passenger seat, I searched the bag with one hand while putting on my seatbelt with the other. Once my hand enclosed around the curved, plastic bottle, I dropped the rest of the bag. My husband made it to the car as I pulled the cap off. He was indifferent and started the car as usual. Once that first spray hit my nose, I was hooked. There was no going back. I would need this forever and always. No matter what. $3.75 is a small price to pay for heaven. This is sweet. So wonderfully sweet. It is a cupcake, vanilla and buttery, topped with buttercream so rich and creamy, you almost forget that it's sugar. Of course, it is sugar- LOTS of it. There is a slight spice, but it is not spicy. The spices are purely there to give the cupcake dimension and to justify the $8 for one cupcake price tag. This is heavily sugared and incredibly rich. However, it has a light, airy quality as well. I sprayed my clothes about four times, and I could still smell it hours later. My mother in law asked if I brought a cake with me. Amazing for the price point. I would easily pay the devil if he could find me another bottle. (Or you if you'd like to get rid of one.) I'll be looking for this repeatedly until I die
