Caribbean in a bottle
I’ve just received my sample and instantly fell in love with this fragrance! I’m confused by the poor ratings here. If you check out Fragrantica, this is rated very highly.
Gâteau à l'ananas opens with a boozy rum and pineapple, followed by a nutty coconut cake mix. It absolutely does smell like upside down pineapple cake. I sprayed one spray on my hand and it’s protecting like crazy! The pineapple note still remains the most prominent in the dry down. My sense of smell isn’t even that great and I find this note strong and delicious. The only note I don’t smell is the Cinnamon. For me, this reminds me of holidays in the Caribbean bottled! Happy vibes, white sand, clear blue sea, sun-kissed skin and a creamy pina colada in hand. This was an instant full bottle buy for me and I can’t wait to receive it. It’s fun with the perfect amount of sweetness. This is very much a daytime Summer fragrance, which makes me question how genuine the ratings are here … It’s just stunning! The hype is justified.
I do get why some might compare this to Nota Sugar - L'Addiction, but there’s something about Ulyka fragrances that are so overpoweringly sickening and vile to my nose that I couldn’t scrub those off fast enough! You could say Nota Sugar is Gâteau à l'Ananas ugly sister. They may have slight similarities, but are not anywhere near in the same league!
I have Gelatino and also get the comparison to that one. It does smell similar. This is like Gelatino with added Pineapple and rum. The differences are a bit more obvious in the dry down, where Gelatino smells almost minty next to Gâteau à l'Ananas. I’d say if you’re considering buying Gelatino, test this one first. I much prefer Gâteau à l'Ananas and have decided to sell Gelatino to justify my purchase. Both are great fragrances though!
