SWEET Eau De Parfum Travel Spray

Really did not expect to like this. I'm not a fan of cloying fragrances, and when I saw 'marshmallow' on the note list I was instinctively repelled. But I got a free sample with my last order, and now I'm hooked. It's sweet in a way which is joyous and cuddly and scrumptious, not sticky or saccharine or goopy.

I became acquainted with Ellis Brooklyn in 2016 through a gwp at a clean beauty store (W3LL People). I fell in love with the MYTH sample in my gwp and ordered The Library off of Sephora to experience all of the other scents. My top favorite remains MYTH, and SWEET is currently in second place. Maybe that is because they both contain bergamot which I clearly like with my skin chemistry ( I have a slender, low BMI for my height and a perfumier told me I could wear jasmine scents because I do not sweat easily but instead am cold natured). Upon application of SWEET, I adore that I smell straightaway the just off the tree subtle pear scent and subtle marshmallow undertone and the scent cozily warms into the amber with prolonged wear (on me anyways). I applied at 1130am and could still smell it on my décolleté at 3pm, but I reapplied only to experience the burst of freshness again. I applied under my cashmere hoodie which seemed to help prolong its staying power. Just like a garden smells earthy and a cookie shop smells like vanilla, SWEET makes me think of fresh, cut fruit that one would receive in a fruit bouquet. I wore J’adore by Chanel and a grapefruit citrus scent (Pink fades into blue bottle) by Escada for years and this takes the cake. This isn’t an artificial scent at all, and just like the description says, I think of cut flowers without the synthetic undertone you get from the daffodil scent at bath and body works. SWEET invokes joy and an upbeat vibe and if it had a color, it would be a sunny orange. It’s breathtaking.
