In The Bottle: Very, very light strawberry cream -more reminiscent of a strawberry confection than of fresh fruit- plus hints of lotus and vanilla sugar.

Wet On Skin: As the scent warms the duo of lotus and strawberry deepens, with the fruit losing a bit of its sugary aspect and the gentle waft of pink sandalwood making its first appearance. 

Dry Down: The sheer vanilla and mallow are reminding me of OLLA: Ava, so if that's a favorite scent for you, check this out for sure. The strawberry has faded into the lotus, so that they create a compelling unit but are not distinguishable as their former individual selves. Lychee finally shows up, lending a nice tang and keeping the scent from being too much of a single range. The sandalwood is there, but incredibly faint, almost an afterthought.

In All: A lovely, very delicate scent that I anticipate getting alot of wear out of as we head toward a long warm summer. Throw is medium-low. I'm somewhat disappointed the sandalwood didn't come out more on me, but I plan to layer this scent with a little of my supply of sandalwood essential oil, as I have a feeling that will work as a fine alternative, at least until this perfume ages, and then the sandalwood might come back all on its own for me! ❤️❤️❤️

This is FRESH out if the mailbox, but on dry-down, it smells a LOT like RQ Bedroom to me. Very pink and glittery and creamy with the very slightest hint of “wetness”. In the same vein as Tomi and Ava. I’m thankfully not really detecting much at all of strawberry. When I focus really hard on picking it out, the closest comparison I have is Deconstructing Eden- the Sweetest Thing. It’s very feminine and light and pretty. Strange, but as a goth chick, some of my very very favorite scents are super “pink” smelling. Might buy a backup of this one.

Cosigning VioletChaos above. For me if the Pink Moon that smells like strawberry nesquick milk had a love child with Skull Masquerade Angora with just a touch more subtle pinky_white florals this is what you get.  

 

The sweet burns off on me  in the drydown and the finishing hours are amber sandalwood dominant 

 

I like this one quite a bit for spring/summer

I get powdery pink marshmallow with sandalwood (and a hint of strawberry). More sophisticated than rope pulley and less candy. Marshmallow fans should try this one.

Starts out with super sweet strawberry dominating until maybe 40-60 minutes in. Then the strawberry takes a step back, and I'm getting a sweet vanilla with subtle fruit which might be the mixture of lychee and strawberry. There are alot of different notes in here that my nose is not sophisticated enough to identify, but it's well-blended and definitely smells like a pink veil as the name suggests. Some hours later, I'm noticing the marshmallow and the whole effect is very similar to Pink Fuzzy Handcuffs (which I love). Joyfully girly!  Note that this testing was one week after the bottle arrived, so it's had some time to settle.

This one is a fruity floral scent on me that morphs into a mostly floral scent touched by strawberry at the end of the day. I believe the strawberry (not really getting the cream on my skin, which I don't mind) and star jasmine are the dominant notes on me throughout wear, although the star jasmine wins out by the end of the day and is somewhat high-pitched, but it isn't heady or indolic like actual jasmine. I sadly don't get any of the mallow blossom or vanilla sugar on my skin, although perhaps those would be more prominent with rest/age. The pink sandalwood might also be contributing to the high-pitched quality this has on my skin (as I think it's the same one from Easter Egging, but there's no white chocolate in this one to smooth it over). I didn't deathmatch the two, but I believe Vasilissa, which also contains star jasmine and sandalwood notes (albeit a different sandalwood), is smoother. I'd also say this could be a cousin to some of the Pink Moon scents... not the strawberry milk one, but the ones that are full of floral notes with a smattering of strawberry. Only, this one starts off stronger on the strawberry than most of those, and the floral notes in Pink Moon 2019 seem to jive better with my skin chemistry.

 

This is definitely a very pink that goes perfectly with the art, but I think I'll stick with Pink Moon 2019 and 2023.

I've tried a lot of strawberry scents, but this is one of my favorites so far. It starts out heavy on the strawberry cream and vanilla, similar to the strawberry milk Pink Moon, but as it dries I get interesting depth from the florals, amber, and sandalwood. Vasilissa is one of my favorite GC's and this is kind of a dolled up, sweeter version of it, to my nose. Cheerful and pretty.
