I sprayed and sniffed this many a times whilst reading through the notes on here and i realised it must be the musk that i couldnt get over. It takes over a dozen sprays before the scent becomes even remotely noticeable on the skin; and once you are able to smell it, it only lasts for less than 30 minutes or so. If you look at the comments of any song that's older than 10 years on Youtube (sometimes older than five years is enough), you will see a heap of people lamenting their existence and wishing to go back to the simpler times the song in question is associated with. I haven’t given this one a go in a loooong time I couldn’t even find my original review if in fact I wrote one.

It's more of a skin scent than VS Vanilla Lace, and Body Fantasies Vanilla, which both have incredible projection and similar vanillin/white musk scent profiles. But in all honestly, the bottle is hideous, and it does not sit with my other perfumes because it's just not a nice look. I spent my early childhood (the last generation of the good times, 89 baby here) smelling the purple lavender gummy dress of my cupcake doll usually during the summer, even biting it, and I always wished I could wear that scent, smell like my doll, (dress like my doll lol). I cannot stand the bottle i undersrand the style it is but that just isnt for me but if you like the style it is quite sturdy and sprays nicely i wish she had stuck to the diamond shaped bottles dont think she is going back to those by the looks of things i think she has moved on from the killer queen theme and the cats.I don’t have much problems with the longevity on my skin, it’s not eternal but it lasts a few hours, at least for me. However, I did feel a bit discouraged after reading some of the negative reviews here, and now that I’ve tested the fragrance for myself, I can certainly see why it has such a bad rep.

I got this on a recommendation by paulreacts on Tiktok, because he said it's a dupe of BBW Vanilla Bean Noel. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. I'm totally in love with the bottle and name too, the concept of it being a potion is so appealing to me because as a little girl I saw perfumes as magic potions, everything about MP is so magical and whimsical.Brought back which greater lasting power and more mature packaging(although I think the current bottle is cute) I believe this could be a big hit. EDIT: lasts for days on clothes, day 3 and the other scents I've sprayed over it are gone, but it still lingers. Personally I like that it isn't a in your face powerfull fragrance - in that case it would be very suffocating because of the heavy vanilla. The projection is low, but what makes MP intimate is that someone must be in very close proximity to get a whiff.

I love the scent of vanilla, but had never been able to find a vanilla-dominant fragrance that I felt worked for me.I was really curious about what the notes are because I didn't have my phone on me when I tested it and I'm surprised this has anything other than floor cleaner in it.

When I got into the car, I really couldn't believe that the most pleasant perfume amongst the ones I tried was pretty much THIS.I agree with other fragheads here that this is quite nostalgic and smells like vanilla or cotton candy and DOLL HEADS. I understand what people are saying that you can't detect a ton of the other notes, but I'm okay with that, because I love vanilla so much and have been looking for a mostly vanilla scent. Candy, vanilla syrup, way over-sugared vanilla to the point of being kind of unpleasant, at least to me. Low sillage and low longevity - but all in all it’s a good, cheap celeb fragrance - just wish it lasted a little longer!
