Annabel's Birthday Cake Eau de Parfum

“Marissa Zappas is a master of scents imo, and Annabel's Birthday Cake is one of the most perfect gourmands I've smelled. There are notes of latex and sugar with frosted cupcake accords, rose petals, and creamy tuberose. As well as honeycomb, cacao pod, and tonka bean. It sounds like it'd be overwhelmingly sweet, but there's a greenness to it that makes it very very wearable. I also received like five compliments within 2 hours the first time I sampled it.”

“I avoided this for so long because of the balloon note. I was afraid it’d be like the vinyl notes that have made me feel ill in Steamed Rainbow or Holy Hell. But it works so well with the screech of tuberose here. I’ve only ever gotten travel sizes of Marissa Zappas work but this one feels worth the upgrade. Seems like I can actually get behind gourmands, I just need flowers on the table.”

“It does smell like birthday cake, but also like lemon and balloons”
