Bonbon caught me by surprise. I love gourmands, so I tried a sample, then a full bottle. I have to say, it's really, really good. A simple fragrance, but it hits all the desired notes in just the right way. Sweet, caramelly goodness with a faint hint of fresh orange blossom. You wouldn't think it would be so addicting, but it is. Yummy and fun, Bonbon makes me happy and my husband says, "you smell good."

Why did I buy this? I got caught up in the hype, sadly. I did get a sample first, and enjoyed it. My full bottle, even thought I've let it sit for a few months, is nothing special. It's pleasant and inoffensive, but I can't detect the much-hyped marshmallow scent. It just smells lightly sweet, with a faint whisper of green tea. It's pricey, and I should have spent my money on something more unique and exciting. Princess isn't bad, but it's nothing special either. Maybe I'll use it as a bedtime scent.

La Belle Le Parfum by JPG is a delicious, warm, sweet fragrance that reminds me of an delectable pear tart with a caramelized crust, served with a scoop of melting homemade vanilla ice cream. Yum, yum, yum. I love gourmands and I love this scent. It's a sexy, grown-up fragrance, perfect for a winter date night. Marry me.

I wanted to love this, and thought I would, based on the notes. I blind bought Delicious Cotton Candy (my mistake). However, instead of sweet cotton-candy goodness, I got synthetic, screechy, gross chemical smell. Yuk! The cap (even though it was a cute cat) stunk like marijuana. I don't even know how to address that. Even after ditching the cap and spraying 20-30 times, this perfume still stunk like the fakest "cotton candy " smell ever. I'll try to give it to my young nieces, but I doubt they will want it. Seriously, save your money, there are way better scents out there.

If the movie “Lost Boys” was a fragrance, it would be Skylar's Boardwalk Delight! It’s a summery perfume that captures the fun of California beach days. The mix of creamy coconut milk and sweet cotton candy instantly reminds one of being young and having a blast at the beach with friends, while smelling delicious at the same time. While I know some people say the scent is only for the young, I say have fun and wear what you like, no matter what your age! Is it appropriate for the office? No, but you weren’t going to wear it to the office anyway. It’s a sweet, fun fragrance that smells amazing and puts me in a fantastic mood. If only it lasted longer, I would wear this all summer!
