The only thing I can think of when I smell this is Undertow, which I do like. That's my review.

I'm very helpful, I know.

I'm not very good at reviews, but I'm going to give this my best shot, so forgive me if it sucks!

Out of the bottle, Sprinklecake is a delicious, frosted cake. Once I put it on and it starts to dry, I start getting more and more butter, kind of how Jack turns into buttery pumpkin instead of just pumpkin. I can't say I'm crazy about that phase. Once the butter leaves, however, it's a nice, sweet scent very reminiscent of childhood birthday parties, yummy cake, and what I imagine a Sprinklecake would smell like!

Warning: It *will* cause sugary cravings. At least in me it did.

I agree on O. I find it to be pretty powdery, too. In a good way though.

My friend's birthday is next month, and I want to get her into the world of BPAL. I don't know much about her likes and dislikes when it comes to scents, but I do know that she adores Clinique Happy. So I was wondering if any of you lovely people knew of any GC oils that were like Clinique Happy. They don't have to be exact or anything- even just recommendations in the same family.

 

Clinique Happy - Notes: Ruby Red Grapefruit, Boysenberry Bush Flower, Hawaiian Wedding Flower

 

A hint of citrus. A wealth of flowers. A mix of emotions. Clinique's best-selling women's fragrance interplays fresh, vibrant notes—ruby red grapefruit, bergamot—with soft, sensual ones—Hawaiian wedding flower, spring mimosa. Wear it and be happy.

 

TIA! You guys are the best!

I haven't tried too many BPAL oils yet and I don't know Happy, but Night-Gaunt and Aizen-Myoo are two I have that she might like, based on the description. They both start out with strong citrus (grapefruit or yuzu) and fade to a floral: more of a pure floral (I smell gardenia) for Night-Gaunt, a mixed fruity one for Aizen-Myoo.

I've always liked Clinique Happy, and I do like Aizen-Myoo. It's really weird while wet - I guess that's the yuzu. But drydown is pretty. I've heard people say Xiuheticutli (or however the heck it's spelled) is similar to Happy, although I haven't smelled X for a really long time, so I couldn't say...

Thanks for the recs! I happen to have an imp of Aizen-Myoo, so I'll have to get that out and see what I think. I haven't smelled Happy in forever since she moved, but maybe I'll make a trip to the mall or something and see if I can smell it. And I'll definitely have to check out X......whatever... It's been on my wishlist anyway, so I wouldn't feel weird tracking down an imp.

Thanks again! You guys rock!
