I don’t detect the pineapple, but it smells like a woody piña colada. It starts floral-fruity and then transforms into a delicious, woody piña colada—more formal and perfect for all seasons. I love it!

Undoubtedly sweet, the sugar and starfruit blend works great with an extra fruity touch. I don’t notice much cedar, but I recommend it for winter because 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 because it’s tender and warm.

It’s one of my favorites (I have two or three). I love it and can’t stop smelling it. The downside is it doesn’t last long 😭😭😭, but since it’s affordable, I just apply more and that’s it.

Incredible! It’s addictive, I can’t stop smelling it. It’s sweet but soft, with a subtle woody touch (cedar and musk) and some fruit. It’s like they combined the best: pear, sugar, water lily, and orchid. It smells like pastries, like sweet cream. If you love desserts, this is for you.

I love the sugared vanilla aroma with starfruit; it’s an exotic vanilla that lasts quite a while on the skin. The bottle, with that black mane à la Cleopatra, 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 dealbreaker—just reapply and you’re good. The price is very reasonable and the bottle is gorgeous. Another great ‘Pop Star’.

It reminds me of its sister Pink Friday, but without that pleasant citrus kick; it’s softer and barely woody. On my skin, it doesn’t last as long, but no problem, I just reapply and done. Super affordable price. Another great ‘Pop Star’ and the bottle is a real gem.

When the sales lady handed it to me to smell, I loved it instantly. I didn’t know which one it was, and the surprise was huge. Although the bottle isn’t that pretty, the scent is: floral, sweet, soft, and not cloying at all. Ideal for daytime and for younger people.

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 looks a bit vulgar.

I smelled it today alongside the Justin Bieber (Collector’s Edition) one, and they seemed like twins. In the end, the JB one faded away, but the NM left a really nice scent that I like.
