it gets better over time, but it's too sugary for me, i was hoping for it to be heavier on the tropical florals. I´m wearing this perfume now, in much cooler weather, and now I can finally smell the scent of orange and mandarin. I for one can't feel any coconut, gardenia or ylang-ylang, not to mention the sandalwood (where's that ? This is much more nuanced than I expected but sadly the licorice is too prominent for my preference. Creamy Sunshine is like the story of Pinocchio who turns into a real boy, but instead of Pinocchio, it's Malibu Beach Barbie and her curves are all natural.

I got a sample of this and was looking forward to smelling it as I love sweet scents, but I’m extremely disappointed. To me and on me, this smells very vanilla/cake/cookies with raspberry, strawberry, and caramel, at the very base i can smell a little bit of sandalwood, sometimes i smell it sometimes i dont, but when i do smell it its amazing! Quickly figured out it is a legendary, early 2000s scent that a lot of people know- love- and/or find offensive.

I'm kind of tired of it, plus the different renditions have altered the original scent in my own mind.

I'm not a floral gal and the regular PS notes just don't compensate for it enough for me to keep the bottle. In my opinion because of how many gourmand angles this perfume hits, it can be usable any season or time of day. I can honestly see anyone of any age wearing this, but of course it leans very young and I can totally see pre-teens just getting into fragrance being huge fans of this. I *am* interested in finding ways to layer it, because I haven't layered any perfumes yet so that's intriguing to me. I sprayed it on and, not wanting to be rude to the sales person, put on a smile and said "it's okay!So I wore the headband out and I kept smelling the sickening scent of original pink sugar and I was wondering why my gardenia was smelling so awful like pink sugar! With the original I'm a bit saddened when licorice wears off, here I was waiting for mimosa and ylang-ylang to die down, and that barely happens. This is very yellow/white floral dominant with an underlying sugar/sweetness, I personally don't enjoy coconut heavy things so this was a win for me.
