Caramel Cashmere
In short, Sweet Tooth smells as if Britney Spear's Private Show and Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere had a baby.
Actually, I'd say this is a *fantastic* dupe for the latter, especially because the first half of Sweet Tooth's fragrance journey is absolutely straight Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere.
Private Show is a little bit fruitier than both, but they do all share similar notes.
I personally detect little to no chocolate notes, which is fine with me, as I'm not the biggest fan of chocolate as a scent. If you feel similarly, don't let the bottle sway you!
Be warned that the plastic cap and the metal bottle are different shades of pink, probably due to being different materials. Noticeable, but probably wouldn't be an issue unless that sort of discrepancy bothers you.
I can't wait to wear this during our fall and winter months this year!

One of the More Unique Fantasies
With Fantasy Intimate, definitely more citrus at face value than the original. It's much softer, too.
The og says ITS BRITNEY, B*TCH!
This one says, hey. I'm Britney :)
Intimate is more powdery, and quieter. I detected a tiny bit of baby wipes at first, but that's just how I receive violet (leaf) as a scent in general. It fades and isn't too strong for long. Quickly, it turns into a light, sweet and sour baby powder.
I can't speak on the longevity, as I typically wear this as a bedtime scent. It's vanished by morning, but is beautiful while it lasts.

My Ultimate Bubblegum!
I have three fragrances in my collection that I consider to be bubblegum-inspired, and this is my favorite one!
It's such a celebration of the overt and artificial sweetness that is bubblegum. Extremely fruity underneath, wet and juicy, like you've been chewing a piece under your nose. A light balance of sour and sweet on top, like the anti-sticking agent that coats a roll of Hubba Bubba.
And best of all, as an oil, it lasts!
Princess Bubblegum is unabashedly cheerful and sugary sweet. A little bit goes a long way, and I've appreciated how much it's helped enhance my other bubblegum scents that aren't as potent. I definitely plan on keeping this in my collection!

Pops Too Soon
This is the fragrance that enticed me into the Le Monde Gourmand line! I've started Le Bubble Pop with a travel size pen, and as much as I enjoy the scent, I don't plan on purchasing a full size bottle once I finish it.
It's an excellent, authentic interpretation on bubblegum. Very sweet, a little bit sour. Cute! Not the best bubblegum scent I've ever had on this nose, that honor goes to Sugar Milk Co's "Princess Bubblegum", but it gets the job done. It's extremely wearable and inoffensive.
My only gripe is that Le Bubble Pop lasts literal minutes. It's just too light to have any staying power, and there's no notes to pull it through long enough to truly enjoy it. On its own, Le Bubble Pop is a quick pick-me-up scent and nothing more.
Until I empty my travel size spray, I've been layering it with the aforementioned Princess Bubblegum in roll-on oil form, and finishing it off with a couple of spritzes of BBW's Strawberry Snowflakes.

More Floral Than Fruity
I'd consider this 75% gardenia, 25% coconut.
The gardenia is pretty creamy and the coconut, or as much of it as I can detect, is smooth. Similarly to Lait de Coco, it isn't beachy or sunscreen-esque. And, especially paired with gardenia here, it's more reminiscent of a hair/bath product.
The florals are prominent throughout the entire scent journey. Very bright, green, and zesty. Almost like citrus? There's nothing musky or powdery about it, and it's very one note (literally haha).
I have the most neutral of neutral feelings about Fleur Monoï. It's a nice scent, albeit very simple. I don't think I'd wear it alone; it could be improved by layering. Over Lait de Coco if you'd like to emphasize the diminished coconut note, or over Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, if you'd like to assist in that beautiful scent's very, very sad longevity.
