    I had a blast with it. It started super citrusy like a lemon sorbet, then the sweet notes came out beautifully balanced—a vanilla coconut that I think was the tiare flower. If you’re obsessed with sweetness, this is your spot. What a shame they discontinued it.

    So Hooked on Carmella is a dense, sweet bombshell, pure gourmand. The tiare flower smells like coconut and the rhubarb adds a fruity touch; in the end, it’s like a piña colada. Use it moderately in summer for the beach and it works well. The base is warm with amber, sandalwood, and I think a bit of caramel. The bottle and box stole my heart; they look like a little house where the perfume lives, what a great idea! But hey, I already want to get it back, the technique worked for me xD
