Barbie by Lush

I know what they mean by ‘new doll smell’. This smells like what Barbie would wear if she had perfume: sweet, bordering on cloying, with hints of strawberry bubblegum. Despite that, I find it delicate and elegant. At first, it didn’t grab me (I’m not a fan of the sweet stuff), but I ended up seeking a refill, which says everything about how special I find it. By the way, compared to Snow Fairy, this is less ‘beastly’, more refined, though they share that bubblegum vibe.

It’s as if Snow Fairy and Vanillary had a baby; it’s beautiful. On my skin, tonka bean takes precedence and it makes my mouth water; it’s a rich gourmand that I wish the brand would make permanent. It’s a creamy, buttery delight that will make sweet lovers applaud ^_^.

HI BARBIE 🍓🍓🍓🍓 (again). If you grew up with tubs of playdough and acidic strawberry bubblegum, this Lush scent will take you back to those sweet and synthetic… yet irresistible memories. From the very first moment, a powerful note of strawberry bubblegum explodes over a vanilla base reminiscent of Vanillary, with that dense, almost sticky touch that lasts for hours. As expected, the Lush DNA is present: Snow Fairy for the cloying marshmallow and American Cream for the whipped strawberry and vanilla creaminess. Over time, the composition balances out, losing some of that initial synthetic character and moving closer to the softness of American Cream, but without ceasing to be an openly gourmand perfume. I see it as ideal for special occasions, because its sweetness could cloy me on a daily basis, and even less so in a formal context. But if you are fascinated by sugary, sweet aromas with that playful touch, here you have a candy in perfume format. By the way, there is a body spray version, although it seems it hasn’t reached Spain yet. Both are limited editions, so if it tempts you, better not to wait. 🍓🍓🍓🍓

I really want it, no, I’ll get the next one. It’s a pity you have to access the app first and then go in person; I just hope there is stock.
