I don’t really detect the pineapple, but it smells like a woody piña colada. It starts floral and fruity before transforming into a delicious, woody piña colada – more formal and suitable for all seasons. I love it!
Undoubtedly sweet, the mix of sugar and carambola works brilliantly with an extra fruity touch. I don’t notice much cedar, but I recommend it for winter as it’s very tender and warm.
Definitely sweet; the sugar and starfruit combine beautifully with a fruity touch. The cedar is barely noticeable. I highly recommend it for winter as it’s tender and warm.
It’s one of my favourites (I have two or three). I adore it and can’t stop sniffing it. The downside is it doesn’t last long 😭😭😭, but since it’s affordable, I just apply more and that’s all there is to it.
Incredible! It’s addictive; I can’t stop smelling it. It’s sweet yet soft, with a subtle woody touch (cedar and musk) and a hint of fruit. It’s as if they’ve combined the best: pear, sugar, water lily and orchid. It smells like a patisserie, like sweet cream. If you love desserts, this is for you.
I love the scent of sugared vanilla with starfruit – an exotic vanilla that lasts quite a while on the skin. The bottle, with that Cleopatra-style black mane, I think is the sexiest one.
It smells very similar to its sister, Pink Friday, but without that citrus note I loved so much; it’s softer and barely has any wood. It doesn’t last as long on my skin as the other one, but it’s not a problem, I just reapply and that’s it. The price is very reasonable and the bottle is gorgeous. Another great ‘Pop Star’.
It reminds me of her sister Pink Friday, but without that agreeable citrus note; it’s softer and barely woody. On my skin it lasts less, but that’s no problem, I just reapply and that’s it. Super affordable price. Another good ‘Pop Star’ and the bottle is a real gem.
When the shop assistant let me smell it, I loved it instantly. I didn’t know what it was and the surprise was huge. Although the bottle isn’t particularly pretty, the scent is: floral, sweet, soft and not cloying at all. Ideal for daytime and for younger people.
I smelled it today alongside the Justin Bieber (Collector’s Edition) and they seemed like twins. In the end, the JB one faded away while the NM left a lovely scent on me that I enjoy.
It’s a good perfume, different from celebrity scents. I get a vanilla scent and sometimes wet earth. It’s very good, although I feel the bottle is a bit vulgar.
