7 Perfumes that Smell Like Dessert

For some folks, dessert is their favorite part of any meal. Not only the tasty and sugary flavors, but also the aroma of cakes, ice creams, chocolates, and other baked goods. There’s plenty of women who not only love the taste of dessert, but want to smell like it with their perfume selections. There are obviously a lot of choices out there, but let’s see if we can locate some of the best dessert smelling fragrances. 

 

What are some fragrances that smell like dessert?

Britney Spears Women’s Fantasy Eau de Parfum, 100 ml/3.3 oz.– Warm, flirty, and sweet. Fantasy is always a popular ladies’ fragrance and for good reason, it smells fantastic.  Fantasy is truly a sensual perfume that is quite memorable. Notes include: kiwi, white chocolate, musk, lychee, jasmine, orchid, and quince.

This one skews towards the younger crowd, with its fruity and confectionary elements. However, at it’s price point, it is a delicious example of a gourmand that has good performance and delivers on the aromatic aspect. Sweet, upbeat, and a bargain.

Prada Candy Night- Sure, the original Prada Candy did smell like Candy, but this one is much better overall and closer to what we’re looking for. A true, win/win.

Candy Night is a warm and delicious blend of caramel, vanilla, and of course a proper chocolaty note. It’s got enough sweetness to be attractive, but it doesn’t venture into being something for the younger set. Candy Night is well put together, flirty, and has a great gourmand/dessert aroma.

Armani Code Satin– Armani Code Satin can definitely satisfy a sweet tooth, not that it’s insanely sugary, but it provides a fantastic blend of scents to mimic different dessert types.

First, you get a light and creamy sorbet note, which pairs with vanilla, and fresh ginger. Some pear kicks things off, with its short role at the top of the mix, before this transitions into its floral middle act (neroli, mostly). What you end up with is a chocolate/vanilla floral with orange floral notes and ginger coming through. Strong sillage, great performance.

Live Irresistible Delicieuse– Delicieuse opens up smelling like a cherry pastry, to my nose. It’s going away from the chocolate sort of dessert to a baked goods kind of scent. Following that, you also have notes of vanilla, almond, and caramel. The caramel is short lived, but the other two hang around with the cherry and with the floral addition of rose.

Delicieuse is warm, sweet, and fairly edible. The scent is pretty moderate with its projection, and I managed to get, a full 7 hours out of it in testing. This is a delightful release from Givenchy. Full Review.

Good Girl Velvet Fatale– The flanker to the original Good Girl, this stiletto bottle comes wrapped in velvet, and gives you some really sweet notes to boot. The base is a mix of woody and floral notes, but this is dominated by ingredients like praline, coffee, vanilla, and almond.

Very light fruit and spices from cinnamon and patchouli, dot the perimeter of this fragrance. Good Girl Velvet Fatale might still be a bit difficult to find, but it is a really pleasant example of a warm and gourmand blend of notes, done right.

La Petite Robe Noire Intense– La Petite Robe Noire has been the title of many flankers in this line. Two that I tested out were much more situated around a cherry note. This one, Intense, goes for a berry and cotton candy infused aroma, with patchouli playing a larger role in the dry down.

Robe Noire Intense has that sugary cotton candy aroma down pat, with a juicy mix of berries, and a dash of citrus. Later on, there is some woodsy type of notes, rose, but mostly staying on the really sweet side of things.

Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy Eau de Parfum, 3.4 Ounce– This is a lighter and more subtle sort of perfume, but I think that Sweet Like Candy, is the best release from the pop star. 

Vanilla, blackberry, whipped cream, and of course, marshmallow pull together to form a warm and youthful candy-like aroma. Sweet Like Candy comes in fun looking bottle,  the scent starts off with its berry and pear blend, much like some other entries.

However, this one begins to shift more to a creamy, sweet, and familiar aroma. Lots of whipped cream with a vanilla touch and a great marshmallow addition. Very soft, girly, and sits beautifully in the colder weather.
