This is NOT a disappointment for me. It is a great
holiday scent. Or anytime scent. Sweet spice and sugar.
Not over done, lasts all day. A grown up gourmand.
I was able to buy this on E-Bay at a large discount new.
I find Jeanne Arthes perfumes are really nice. And usually
can be found discounted.Love the ginger note.

What a disapointment! Blind buy,based on notes and reviews. Initial spray-SugarBomb!Soo strong!After 15 minutes fades to a cotton candy/Tide detergent smell.Nothing else. Ugh!I adore JA CandyLand, hoped this would be as good.Nope!

I am wearing this sweet confection today. Very similar to Pink Sugar but it has a tad more cinnamon in the dry down. It is cool and raining out today and i feel as though I am wrapped in a cozy pink fuzzy blanket. Comfort and sweetness in a bottle. I just LOVE this one.

A blind buy based on the ingredients. It doesn’t really smell like pink sugar or Gale Hayman’s Cotton Candy to me (I own both) as twolatter ones don’t open with the orange and cinnamon-y notes. Lollipop smells like a Christmas market: right away I remembered ginger breads, hot vine and all the winter fest’s vibe altogether. Which is quite fantastic – I don’t see why someone wouldn’t enjoy this nostalgic smell. Perfect for fall and winter, when the anticipation of New Year is in the air. My husband likes it too

to me, this is exactly like pink sugar. Smells pretty good, but I wish it was a little spicier.

I am generally impressed with this house for their well blended perfumes at a bargain price. This fragrances is softer than i usually buy but I spray liberally for a more intense experience. This one dries down to a spicy vanilla. I also detect candy floss, orange, caramel and ginger. Moderate sillage and lasting power.

I am new to this site and came across this brand while searching for gourmand scents! I immediately ordered some BOUM fragrances, since they seem good value, although I ordered them all “blind” based on the great reviews I read here.
I wanted something that was sweet, reminiscent of candy and baking. I bought this blind after reading the (mixed) reviews.
Here is how the Jeanne Arthes site describes this scent:
“Succumb to the irresistible sweetness of Boum Sweet Lollipops, enter a gingerbread house and rediscover the enchanting universe of barley sugars of your early childhood. A fragrance for all girls who love confectionery: impregnated with greed while being fruity and spicy.”
Top note: Orange, Cinnamon
Heart note: Ginger, Nutmeg
Base note: Cotton candy, Vanilla
Looking at the cute purple and pink packaging with lollies and candy cane, the scent is not what would be expected and the reviews and product description are accurate.
It looks like it should be sweet, fun, candy-like and cookie-like…it isn’t, at least not at first. It was incredibly spicy and strong and not candy-like or lollipop-like at all. It smelled exactly like the strong, incense, perfume souks in Abu Dhabi (where I used to live).
After about 2 hours it faded a lot and it finally smelled of vanilla and cotton candy, with sweet and feminine notes, which were very pleasant.
A bit disappointing to be honest as I wanted a full-out sweet lollipop scent. The initial spice notes are very strong.
EDIT — I tried it again this evening when it was cooler in the house and I wasn’t feeling so hot too. Again, it starts off incredibly spicy, but I found it turned sweet MUCH quicker — within minutes. I could smell lots of sweet vanilla, a little cotton candy and a touch of spice. Again, no lollipops but definitely a yummy, gourmand scent. In fact, I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist, so it must be good! An interesting fragrance indeed!

I picked this up at TJM while visiting family in Iowa. If it had been any cheaper, they’d have paid me! Seriously, it was just a couple of bucks!
The box is super cutesy- looks like a toy should come inside. Although I almost always keep my fragrances in their boxes, I have NO choice with this one… the atomizer cap thingy (the part you push down to spray) won’t go on the tube! I have to hold it in place to spray it! And I bought the box sealed so maybe that’s why it was so super incredibly cheap.
Anyway… I know I’ve smelled Pink Sugar before but it didn’t make much of an impression on me, so I can’t remember if they smell alike or not, but it DEFINITELY smells like cotton candy. I do get a little tiny bit of orange and unlike most others, I do get a bit of a bakery scent (cookie-ish) which is noticeable but not strong.
It gets a little powdery – but not baby powder – more like powdered drink mix. It’s like if a couple of Bayer orange baby aspirins and a cookie got mixed in with the cotton candy as it was being made. The vanilla isn’t “stand-alone” to me; it’s part of the cookie recipe.
If I had blind bought this based on the notes, I’d have expected something a bit more like Lolita Lempicka L + cotton candy. And I’d have been disappointed.
This is a super-sweet, fun, *wear-it-for-yourself* scent. It lasts for a couple of hours – longer if you spray your clothes. I haven’t worn it enough to know what the projection is like, but I seriously doubt it enters a room before you do and sticks around after you leave. To be honest, I will probably end up giving it to my elementary school aged niece. It’s a nice scent – but I usually reach for CK One Shock or Dame’s Chocolate Man instead of this when I want my candy-scent fix.

I did a blind buy on this based on the notes listed I’ve been looking for a perfume with nutmeg or ginger and this has both the price was low so I said why not. On first smelling it Was dissapointed because it’s so similar to Delicious Cotton Candy, which I already own. So I sprayed so I sprayed BSL on one wrist and DCC on the other and there is some difference. Sweet Lollipop is spicierand I do get the ginger, not so much the nutmeg,
They smell different enough to justify owning both. On a side note I’m so glad I found fragantica it’s exposed me to so many perfumes I never even knew existed.
Update: I gave this to my niece, ginger doesn’t’t work well on me it seems.

This was a Marshalls blind buy, at $8.99. It is, as people have stated, a sister to Pink Sugar, but it’s even closer to Al Rehab Soft. I mixed Soft with Sweet Lollipop, and it’s delightful. My skin pulls a good bit of sandalwood from the mix, and it’s quite comforting and lovely on this cold winter’s day.

This is a TRUE gourmond!
I was out shopping with some friends and found a few bottles of these for fairly cheap. I almost blind bought it but I was afraid of not liking it and being stuck with it since the only available size wasn’t 3.4 oz. luckily, one of my friends bought it so I was able to try it!
I’ve never tried pink sugar before, so I have no opinion on it it’s a dupe or not, although but my friend once had a bottle and said they were similar.
It’s a very interesting fragrance to say the least. It starts out super vanilla caramel-y and then begins to dry with a powder and soft cotton candy, and drys down with a nutty and spicy cotton candy.
On me, there was absolutely no gingerbread or orange to be found at all. It didn’t stay too great, but I sprayed it on the back of my hand. I have no idea where the powder came from, but it was okay.
It’s a very affordable true gourmond and has a super cute bottle.

It smells like ginger bread cookies. It’s just not my cup of tea.
LexacamsBex – :
No gingerbread. Not terrible, just too much like Delicious Cotton Candy and Pink Sugar. Really bummed because gingerbread is what I was led to expect based on:
The box
The description
Some reviews
My delusions.
So I will combine this with spicy scents I already have to find a remix that smells like gingerbread.
Meanwhile, I am going to make some actual gingerbread because I found this incredible recipe requiring two kinds of sugar, ground ginger, fresh ginger, black pepper, and cayenne. At least my kitchen will smell incredible! Wish I knew a child I could pass this one along to.

I absolutely agree with the others who compare this to Pink Sugar. It is nearly identical minus the odd burnt sugar/licorice note. Sadly I was hoping this would be a zesty gingerbread fragrance, but alas it is not. What it is, is a full throttle, no apologies, straight concentrate of cotton candy and subtle hints of sweetened vanilla and maybe- barely, a hint of candied orange zest. Once it has dried down and lingered for a few hours, there’s a slight marshmallow and nutmeg aroma. I was really hoping this was a true-to-form gingerbread fragrance, as I like to layer different body lotions with different fragrances and I have last Xmas Gingerbread Latte body cream from Bath and Body Works which is incredible. But this is Pink Sugar’s twin, so I’ll keep it but it’s rather linear for what I was anticipating.
rere – :
WOW!!! love, love, love!!!!! I also ordered this along with everyone below for the gingerbread note and thoughts of cinnamon, sweet vanilla and everything Holiday but after hearing everyone comparing this to Pink Sugar I cringed and worried I had thrown yet another 10 dollar bill out the window. Not to worry!! its exactly what i was hoping for!!! i smell the cinnamon, some nutmeg, very very little orange, the gingerbread yummy vanilla and thankfully not much candy floss!! Just love and will go very nicely all winter long!!!
Sanya9935 – :
Boy oh boy do I love this, it definitely evokes the memories of childhood and this is a great gourmand scent! And it only cost me $13.00 USD!
Sweet lollipop does smell very much like pink sugar but with a orange gingery hint. It’s like going to a fair during the winter or a Christmas market. Surrounded by all the candy floss,candy orange slices,gingerbread and cinnamon cookies you can imagine! If you’re into sweets give this a try! Excuse me while I try and find something sweet to snack on..
Pyncaspignisp – :
While my first tissue test immediately radiated (sillage) Pink Sugar, upon deeper inspection/huffing/inhaling… I do get ORANGE and maybe some ginger. I normally hate ginger, but this seems very very slight. No cinnamon/nutmeg.
(Orange, to me, really sticks out in the beginning of Pink Sugar Sensual- there’s that similarity)
Huge sillage in the first 10 minutes. My desk area at work smells like a 10 year old’s bday party. 😉
I will try property with my pjs later!
I adore JA, and while this may be just another Pink Sugar, I’m glad to have it. I love playful fun sweeties! I opted for the less than $10 tester bottle from ebay.
Actually, looking at the comparisons above, this is more like SOFT By Al Rehab, for sure.
(Although my tastes have gone WAY up price-wise… haha… when it comes to my Top 6)
Maysis – :
I own a few of her fragrances..and I’m just not understanding why they are soo weak??!!
I have 3 of the boums they are weak..
and I also own the the generations rock.
I just wish they would last longer. I literally spray they last 30minutes to 1 hour..on clothes and skin.
vladlenvvk – :
(And I love her boxes and bottles too. Good marketing).
Atroschenko – :
I hope Jeanne made a lot of money this week. So many of us blind ordered this.
I like it, pure cotton candy but that;’s what I expected. I can not figure out Jeanne Arthes perfumes. They are so inexpensive but there’s something not really cheap; about them. They deliver but you know going in they won’t be complicated like some high end Hermes. And maybe that is a good thing. Seems to be in this case.
vlq751Diobtetty – :
Pink sugar minus the burt licorice note and a little spicier dry down! Jeanne Arthes makes good perfumes!
Ahhh..gingerbread note in the drydown!
excboy – :
Yep! Aquolina Pink Sugar with an added touch of orange, though not similar to Pink Sugar Sensual. So bummed about this, only because I’m not a Pink Sugar fan as it’s too sweet for me. Lollipop is cute and very cotton candy. I don’t get any cinnamon or gingerbread, which is what I was hoping for.
tedodehp – :
Couldn’t resist the price, I too just blind bought! Can’t wait to get it
NothenWolf – :
Just blind ordered mine!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
bregocice x – :
Thanks plumblossom! Im hoping I can smell the gingerbread!
D_S_A – :
This fragrance is a very good dupe of Pink Sugar, with the same sweetness.The cotton candy note is the most intensive, but the spicy, and gingerbread notes are also noticeable. Longevity and sillage are quite strong.
Aaaas11 – :
Sure hope this is sickly sweet! I blind ordered! Hehehe!
