A clean, sweet scent. I can only echo what others have already said here. Most apparent scents are the melons and sugar. It’s a good feel-clean-in-jeans-and-a-t-shirt scent. It would also be appropriate for younger girls and teens. Doesn’t have much sillage on me, but then again, most perfumes don’t.
Biggey – :
I got the rare 100 ml of the perfume
And i love it so much its so clean and fruit
Realy good summer fragrance
The lasting power is 8 hours
The silage is moderate

Out of all the Mariah Carey ‘butterfly’ bottle designs, the blue and pink blend that ‘Lollipop Bling Ribbon’ has is beautiful. Scent wise – I get a brew of cucumber mixed with melon and that ‘sweetness’ assumingly from the sugar at the base. I read one of the reviews said it smelt like Britney Spears Circus Fantasy which I disagree. Maybe the raspberry and sugar note but they are quite parallel from each other. Otherwise, I love it.

Mariah Carey is one of my favorite people and along with Madonna, Britney and also Celine, has offered so much to the music industry and is such a talent that I adore. Mariah’s favorite time for me music wise was probably mid to late 90’s. And she is the queen of remixes. I guess for me I would have loved if Mariah released a really unique fragrance. I honestly don’t really feel like most of her fragrances smell like what she would wear in real life and most of them are nice but have minimal staying power. I like M a lot, and Ribbon is pretty and the most impressive of the trio I think. The bottles are just beautiful and very Mariah. I think fans will like this aspect. Scent wise this a short lasting but nice fresh creamy berry fragrance.

Bought the full 100ml of this over the weekend and gave it a few wears to gain my full opinion of it. Ribbon is definitely the most “lollipop” or candy inspired perfume compared to the two others. I also have ‘Mine Again’ however I don’t like it as all I got from it was a strong musky mint smell. Ribbon however has a more sweeter smell it it. There’s no musk, no detectable base really. It just straight out smells like a raspberry flavoured lollipop/candy. This fragrance is kind of like chewing gum… it doesn’t smell like chewing gum but when chewing gum loses it’s flavour quickly then you’re just left with a clean taste in your mouth? When you first spray Ribbon the sweetness is intense, but after drying down for a few minutes it loses it’s “flavour” or its scent, and goes from sweet to just fresh and clean. I really wish the sweetness stayed however it doesn’t at all. The scent isn’t long lasting either – after an hour the fragrance vanishes without a trace.
I rate this perfume a 6/10. I’m obsessed with the bottle, in fact all the butterfly bottles Mariah has released i’ve made a collection out of. Ribbon’s packaging in particular is my favourite out of the three lollipop blings and her whole fragrance collection generally. The scent is a great everyday wear, but I wouldn’t wear this if I was looking to dress up or go out on an occasion. I originally had no intention of buying Ribbon, I was looking for Circus Fantasy by Britney Spears however they stopped selling it for whatever reason I don’t know of. I heard this perfume was a lighter dupe of the Circus Fantasy and I couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for a longer lasting, sweeter version get Circus Fantasy, if you though CF was too heavy and sweet, and want a lighter more natural perfume, go after this one. As for repurchasing, I would only feel the need to get this again if it was on sale…wouldn’t pay full price.
addimbkap – :
This is a very beautiful fragrance. I love Hydrangea so I was really impressed with this fragrance. The longevity is tragic tho at only about 2 hours. I cant justify paying for this when its like water. Very sad.
indie – :
So.. before I start my review, I want to note that Mariah Carey’s fragrances are largely responsible for why I’m a perfume collecter. I’m obsessed with her fragrances; the scents, the bottles, the packaging, everything. I. freaking. love. them. That being said, I am going to try and make this review as less biased as possible and take Mariah out of the equation for a second so I can judge the fragrance solely for the fragrance.
I believe that this might be my least favorite Mariah perfume.. either this one or Never Forget You from Lollipop Splash. All of her other fragrances have been love at first sniff except for those two, and I will explain why Ribbon is one of those two.
It’s the least “candy inspired” smelling scent that I’ve possibly ever smelt, I can’t believe that this was marketed as a “lollipop” scent. The main notes are misleading with the sugar, while you might get some sweetness with this scent, it’s definitely not a candy sugar smell, it’s a very fresh, natural sweetness.
It’s a very very powdery fragrance with fresh fruit and some slight natural sweetness from that fruit. I want to clarify that this scent is so much more fresh than it is sweet. There is also something very transparent about the scent, it’s almost as if the notes aren’t mixed properly. Sometimes it will wear as a heavily cucumber influenced scent and other times it will be powdery raspberry.
There is also a heavy “baby lotion” note to this fragrance, it smells exactly like a heavily marketed baby lotion with some powdery fruit in the back ground. Hence why I said that I couldn’t believe that this was marketed as a candy inspired scent.. it’s quite possibly one of the freshest fragrances I’ve ever tried.
The freshness stays throughout the entire fragrance, actually coming out even more in the end. The powder is always there but slowly dissipates through the fragrance, taking a backseat during the dry down. Reason being that although it’s a top note, the cucumber comes out heavily in the end, taking care of some of that powder since cucumber is a very crisp, fresh, watery note.
To recap, it’s a nice fragrance, but not one of my favorites. Doesn’t smell “candy inspired”, very fresh, very powdery, and it has a heavy “baby lotion” smell. I get about 4-5 hours out of this fragrance which isn’t great, but not terrible either. I don’t find myself wearing this very often, it definitely takes a back seat to many of my other wonderful Mariah fragrances.
SkazochnikNew – :
Just got a bottle of this in the mail. My first impression was that this smelled like Paris Hilton, but more sour. Someone said in another review that this smells like Ralph Lauren, and many people say that perfume also smells like Paris Hilton. So maybe I’m not the only one that would notice the similarities between the two? This is a nice, sweet fragrance. It isn’t my favorite. I have too many other perfumes I’d reach for first.
seric245 – :
Excuse Me. I meant the Hortensia note. Very Nice.
yulika – :
This is a nice fragrance. I really like the Hyacinth
note in this one. Very nice on me and lasts all day as well. I pretty much like all of Mariah perfumes.
chirkova82 – :
So I am new to this collection. I thought I would give this a dabble, as I lean towards sweet scents.
So that is the first element I would like to point out – there is no sweetness. None that I could detect.
There are two main properties to this scent
The first is tropical. Each time I spray, its a different smell. Sometimes its cucumber, or melon, or pineapple. But which it is, its tropical. It isnt sweet. But it is delicious.
Then, the scent settles into a woody bottom. It is strong at first, but slowly fades, so that within an hour or so, its gone.
Heat of any sort brings it back.
In summary, its not sweet or long lasting.
It is tropical, woody, and best for day wear.
The bottle is pretty, but I do personally like butterflies.
I like it. But its not a love.
MAXS – :
Bling Ribbon is a great fresh, sweet, candy-like concoction that I love to layer with other fragrances.
It opens up with an effervescent sweet-n-sour accord that is similar to sour gummy candies that are sold with sugar sprinkled on them. The sparkling top notes give way to aquatic and floral nuances yet still remains sugar sweet.
I mainly get aquatic and sugar accords with a wisp of raspberry. I love to mix with with stronger aquatics and citrus fragrances like Acqua Di Gio, Paris Hilton Just Me for Men, and D&G Anthology Empress.
labodik – :
EdP, update:
Smells like candy (raspberry and / or watermelon scented candy) with some freshness to it.
The overall scent is ok, it’s something I’d like to wear or smell like, but it’s not outstanding or too good to repurchase at full price (I’m sure you can find similar scents, this is not a ‘must have’). I think you need to stand very close to someone to actually scent it, if the person has not sprayed it atleast 3 times on 5 body parts… And I guess it’s not as flattering then.
Suitable for any season but maybe almost perfect for spring and summer.
twigreeillise – :
I’ve had this for so long now in my perfume rotation and its one of my favorites for spring and summer.
On me this smells like fizzy raspberries with hints of melon and sugar with a slight aquatic vibe…its a refreshing scent that lasts long and I love it!!!
Augmesimmes33 – :
Strong, pleasantly sweet and sugary, not nauseatingly Ozonic.
My first impression, i thought it had Hyacinth and Lily.
But i can definitely tell it’s Cucumber Canteloupe, dead on.
Turns into a powdery Raspberry as it dries, resembling a nice skin lotion. very “beachy” and appetizing.
Kibiaquarry – :
Update: I resprayed some at my break and well, I smelled a lot more fruitiness than this morning… Guess it was my “morning nose”. lol I do smell the sour watermelon and a bit of raspberry, the sweetness and reshness of the cucumber and the jasmine. The top notes makes me think of Jolly ranchers!! It is pretty and, as I said previously, innofensive.
uranu – :
This is a very nice, soft, pleasant scent, but it is nothing so original. It reminds me a bit of Love by Sex in the city. It is a good everyday scent, not overwhelming, very classic smelling. It’s been a while I have this perfume and I just read back its description, and I must say I’ve been surprised to find cucumber, melon and raspberry on the top. Honestly I cannot really smell one of them. All the notes are kinda stuck together and the perfume always keep the same scent. In my opinion, it is more floral than fruity, with a hint of sugar… A sugary floral, if such thing is possible. I like the bottle with the butterfly cap, it is very nice on a shelf. I think the bottle is classic, but with a little girly twist with the butterfly. I think Lollipop bling ribbon can make a good first perfume for a teenager, it is very inoffensive and it still smells like perfume, not like a kids fragrance.
cogrerveron – :
Trust me you may not smell these after 30 mins but i get compliments from people who come up close to me say you smell pretty. They blend with your skin without you being aware. Its a shame because i am bummed if i cant smell my perfume so the temptation is to keep overspraying these which could cause a sickening perfume bomb so i resist and only top up at lunchtime i spray a little in my hair too. If you like to be able to smell your perfume these are not the best choice by the way men love these for some reason i think its the fresh aquatic impression with sweetness.
AsydayVal – :
Cucumber melon sugar cubes, pretty much. It’s a little aquatic on me, but it is a spring scent.
max preston – :
Cucumber, lotus (+hortensia?) and sweetness. Not too sweet but sweet… Smells cheap. Slightly powdery but mostly aquatic and ozonic.
I don’t scent any big difference between the top, middle and base notes.
I’m shocked that it’s got so many votes on Love and Like. After trying two of her other fragrances, this is dissapointing. I don’t recommend it.
I’ve got the 15ml bottle and mine is not blue/pink. The butterfly cap is blue and the bottle is light pink.
olga-kitapova – :
Something about the bottle and the scent itself reminds me of my childhood, it smells so clean almost soapy but also sweet….i can wear this anytime but it perfect for summertime
kolobokSV – :
I picked this up in a set (which also included Inseparable and Vision of Love), and I actually like it quite a lot. This is an odd one to me in the sense that, it comes off as a soap-candy-floral-fruit scent. Maybe it’s the aquatic note that I’m confusing with the soapiness, but honestly, that’s how I’m smelling it. Not that this is a bad combo, it works for me. I think it sits close to the skin after the initial 20-30 or so minutes. It doesn’t really radiate that much. The scent that I’m left with is a clean skin, floral-candy sweetness.
This one doesn’t last too long on me unfortunately. I’d say 2 hours, max. But that’s okay. Sometimes I like to spritz something on before bed, and this is perfect for me. Not too soft, yet still giving off a beautiful scent to enjoy. This is a definite repurchase once I run out!
капик – :
This is compared to BBW’s Carried Away on here, and I think it does smell like Carried Away in the top notes. Ribbon is and stays candy-smelling while Carried Away is more floral and clean. I like them both. Ribbon is a fun and quirky-type scent and I’m enjoying it for Spring.
grin70 – :
The bottle is perfect!
So lovely, it looks great on my counter next to my Marc Jacobs honey.
It actually smells like something Mr. Jacobs would have in store.
It also reminds me a bit of Britney Curious and a deodorant put together.
It’s a very fresh scent, the cucumber is out there.
I would wear this on a day out in the sun when I can’t decide what I want to wear!
This is a leave in the car or leave at my finances house kind of scent because it’s not a daily perfume for me.
I agree with my friend below, it does only last about 30mins.
FilippoviK – :
This is it! My first love! My chemistry takes this fragrance to new heights!! And here I bought this one just to see if I liked other Mariah fragrances better and for the hues of the bottle.
This perfume is most definitely NOT for everyone! Upon first spray, it’s melony sweet and cotton candy (I enjoyed it). For the first few minutes, it’s more reminiscent of watery body sprays than actual perfume.
After the first hour, the scent settles onto your person in either a clash or complement. On my skin, it’s pure heaven.
My chemistry brings out more of the jasmine than the raspberry, and a hint of the cucumber keeps the florals from overpowering. Melons and jasmine love me, who knew?
I’m literally going to sleep on this to vote on the longevity tomorrow during the day. But, as of the last three hours, this baby is my first LOVE!
alexeiard88 – :
Bought it because of the bottle, gorgeous packaging and I love butterflies but I’m not impressed with what’s in the bottle. The notes were appealing so I purchased it without trying. I must say…it’s OK but just OK. Soooo not lasting though. Literally lasts 30 min…not longer than that.
serega245 – :
This scent reminds me of Bieber’s “Someday”. It is pleasant, but not fruity enough for me. I can smell the florals in this a lot, and although the floral notes are soft and not overbearing – it is not what I expected from this perfume. I thought that based on the reviews, that it would be a heavily fruity scent, however, this is not the case. The perfume itself is not offensive though and would be good for springtime with its mild but quite noticeable floral notes.
Denis72 – :
All I can smell is some kind of fruity Jelly Crystals/Jello. Quite nauseating in fact, never been a fan of gelatine.
Love the bottle but I really don’t think much of the juice.
Doesn’t last very long thankfully, going to have to look for something to layer this with to mask that gelatine flavour.
Definitely my least favourite of Mariah’s Bling collection.
Denya – :
Very disappointing.
Its not bad, but i dont love it.
A blind buy as the notes looked appealing to me.
It just smells like a cheap, sweet nothing special perfume.
I have a huge bottle of it so i use it everyday anyways sometimes in combination with other ‘blue’ perfumes. Actually it makes some nice combinations. But alone is kind of sickenly head ache inducing.
screamagony – :
Purchased the 100ml bottle for $20 as a blind buy. The notes sounded right up my alley. Raspberries with sugar? YES PLEASE.
First spray was nauseating. Sugar overload literally, it made me hyper just from the smell. However, the dry down is what makes this perfume so fun and cute. It smells like a blue raspberry lollipop/cocktail. It’s so sugary yet so refreshing and light. Thats the thing I’m starting to love about Mariah’s perfumes. They all sound so unusual or overdone but the notes produce harmoniously to make incredible scents that you can’t find duplicated in any celebrity scent.
Ribbon does not last long in terms of you being able to smell it yourself throughout the day. BUT, as the day goes on the people around you can smell this, trust me. 5 hours into my shift people were still stopping me and saying I smell good, so longevity is tricky with this one likewise with sillage.
Overall, this perfume is so fun and cute and is an easy summertime casual scent. You will be complimented and you will feel like a little kid wearing this.
anatoly.korshev – :
Im not head over heals in love with this scent but i keep going back to it for some reason. It smells like blueberry icecicles….i dont even really like blueberry that much but there is something i like about it….maybe because its aquatic and sweet and i love aquatic sweet scents.
rus22 – :
best way to describe ribbon is “chilled blue raspberry contails after a rainy day”
it’s deeply fruity with aquatic florals (the lotus flower) definitely lovely and sweet
I have the 100ml bottle… which last a long time 6-8 hours long… I do believe the larger bottles have more fragrant oils compared to the 30ml bottles
it’s quite similar to “honey” just a berry version in my opinion and the day time counterpart to “ribbon”
if I could compare it to another fragrance in her collection id probably say luscious pink both are very fresh with a crisp fruity opening… as it dries down it starts to remind me of Pink Friday Special Edition with a blue raspberry twist it…
I also get a light honeysuckle from this others say they get freesia other times I get honeyed fruits, no telling what combinations it took to get that blue raspberry effect but it smells good
serdob – :
I was lucky enough to find a full 3.4 ounce bottle of this brand new at Ross a few days ago for less than twenty bucks after wanting to try it for months and I’m very glad I did. Ribbon is one of the three main fragrances that Mariah released as part of her candy inspired Lollipop Bling collection, and honestly, Ribbon is the only one that ACTUALLY smells like candy to me. I really love it despite a lot of people saying it smells “cheap”… to me it has a really fun sugary raspberry smell that’s perfect for warm weather daytime wear. The lasting power is fairly impressive for an eau de parfum as well… I sprayed one spray on each of my wrists and one on my chest this morning and the smell radiated in the air around me for almost seven hours. I got plenty of compliments and I overall really enjoyed wearing it. Not to mention the bottle is definitely the prettiest of the collection and looks like a gorgeous blue summer sky with a luminescent light pink fading towards the bottom.
I recommend Ribbon for anyone who’s wanting a simple yet memorably sweet and sugary fragrance… to me it smells very flirty, so it might be perfect for a date. 🙂
ivanwerty – :
The bottle is pretty but the smells cheap and watered down. Disappointed in that.
Shourosog – :
I am ever so thankful that TJ Maxx let me return this.. and it had already been returned once before I bought it. This is nothing but linear fake raspberry SOUR gummi worms, all the way through. Not even sweet, and never calmed down a bit.
FACK_THE_POLICE – :
Honestly Im a sucker for a sweet, sugary, candy-esque scent, and this delivers. On me, personally, I get a very strong hit of raspberry (almost bubblegum).
I find it lasts quite a while on my skin, but I find it can give me a headache if I use too much or reapply too many times.
Im also a sucker for the adorable bottle.
ircha84 – :
This smells like a better version of the Paris Hilton perfume. I dislike the Paris Hilton one though; but it’s like ribbon took that fragrance and fixed whatever was wrong with it and made it into something more bearable to me. Once Ribbon settles down, I just smell honeydew melon, cucumber and a bit of sugar.
genijesk – :
I smell the sweetness, the aquatic quality, and the freshness in the perfume. When I smell this, I immediately think of a yummy cocktail during summer days! While it is sweet, I don’t think it’s overloaded with sugar. It isn’t syrupy at all. It’s very fresh and yummy and light 🙂
ViktorAntonov24 – :
Don’t care for it. Smells very cheap and watered down. Doesn’t last long.
Meklm217Diobtetty – :
This is my first mini Mariah scent that I bought and I love the bottle. Unfortunately I don’t like the juice it smells like shampoo with a little musk. The berry notes are generic like the ones used in hair products. It reminds me of Sex in the city. Even though I get compliments whenever I use it, I don’t like it. It’s a fragrance for young girls in their teens and it can be used in spring and summer.
Ordik – :
Having smelling all her fragrances, owning a few I can honestly say they do NOT all smell the same.. A lot of people missed the concept of the lollipop range.
They are a celebration of nicks proposal to mariah when he hid the ring inside a custom ring pop…
When you think of hard candy, they are synthetic, fruity, sweet, addictive lay juicy. These weren’t made to me high designer or niche quality but rather playful , they come in a gum ball machine / juke box and the rollerballs are lollipops.. They are meant for all ages and are throwbacks of childhood memories if you listen to “Candy Bling” the theme song for the both collections you will get a BETTER understanding of these fragrances…
*Candy Bling*is about teenagers in love, he would give her candy & sweet things
“Way back when it was about the simple things… Anklets, nameplates that you have to me.. Sweet Tarts, Ring Pops, and that candy bling.. And you were my world” ~ candy Bling
The song is about Mariah’s first love who died in high school he would give her these candies and other things teenagers give each other… It’s sweet Nick proposed to her by giving her a ring pop…he basically left off where that chapter had ended and it’s so endearing…
These fragrances are a special part of her if you actually look at the story behind them
The lollipop range is about childhood memories… We all can relate to them
парфёнов пн – :
Amazing perfume. I Love the scent.
ijjo – :
Shampoo in the bottle, childish, ordinary scent. Fruity, light, nothing special to me.
PriereeGekdus – :
very cute bottle, looks good anywhere. got it as a blind buy at kohls $12 for 1oz. the reviews are pretty spot on, the smell is like a blue raspberry lollipop without the tartness of the raspberry. the drydown is melons and florals. im not sure that is the best combination but i do like it. i like it enought to use it up but not to repurchase, def a summer scent. does not last though.
csepa.sever – :
Reminds me a lot of another fragrance – DKNY Red Delicious?!
PAUN – :
This is just one of those intoxicatingly delicious fragrances. Not for the shy or the faint-of-heart. ♡ It has an amazing sillage and lasting power. I have owned it twice over the years, and my current one smells just as delicious as the one I had years ago. A+ It smells similar to Ralph by Ralph Lauren, but I like this one better. It is more feminine.
crotenend – :
Bought this just a few days ago,on clearance,at Wally World,for all of $7! It’s a 15 ml,so it’s small enough that if I hate it,I won’t feel bad giving it away.And if I like it,I’ll use it up fairly quickly,and I’ll feel like it was a good deal!
Anyway,on to the scent itself:very sweet,but in a fresh,fruity way,not sugary at all.Just a lot of fresh,almost overripe honeydew,with a bit of cucumber.Honestly,this smells exactly like Carried Away from B&BW. I mean EXACTLY! It’s dead on ,so depending on where and when you pick this one up,it could be a good dupe for carried Away,or vice versa.
Considering the price I paid,I won’t mind using this and saving my Carried Away.
Longevity and sillage were weak,a skin scent that barely lasts two hours.carried away projects better and lasts longer,and that’s the fine fragrance mist,not even the EDT!
Final verdict,nice,fruity floral,not too sweet,great for the younger set,tweens to mid twenties,though I’m 37 and I felt perfectly comfortable wearing it.For the price,regular price that is,I’d go with the Carried Away.
The bottle is adorable,with the butterfly top,and pretty pink and blue color scheme,but to be honest,just nice,nothing spectacular,or original here.
I’ll finish the .5 oz ,but won’t buy it again.I have two bottles of Carried Away to enjoy instead!
Funkycrash – :
This is a fresh, lightly sweet, floral/ melon scent with a very subtle musky drydown. The longevity is on the low end of moderate, and the sillage is soft, a “skin scent” for sure!
I tried a sample of Ribbon, and liked it enough to buy a bottle that was half-price on sale, but I don’t think I will buy another bottle unless the sillage and longevity are improved. I really had to overspray this one!
Of course, her bottles are lovely, which is another reason I bought the perfume when it went on sale!
alex 666 – :
Beautiful, fresh, crisp, sweet smell! BUT the lasting power is pretty terrible. Barely even a skin scent after an hour and a half.
EDIT: It is also alcoholic as per a typical non-high end little girly perfume. But somehow with the cucumber melon sugar smell it doesn’t bug me on my skin (as a lot of VS frangrance mists do)
dart vader_____ – :
This is the perfume you wear if you want to be noticed, and if you love fruity, in-your-face, yummy fragrances. The sillage is enormous, and the lasting power is excellent. I can imagine this would not be everyone’s taste however as it is strong, but it is very pleasant, and in one word (or two) I would say this is yummy, and delicious. It’s the type of fragrance for a confident, flirty girl or woman. A perfume I always get compliments on when I wear it, but it is probably not for the faint of heart or shy woman. No spice, all fruit and floral. It’s a classic in my collection. It is reminiscent of Ralph by Ralph Lauren (the blue one) and Sunset Heat by Escada. It is delicious.
AronVN – :
VERY generic fruity floral, there must be hundreds out there which smell like this, the most similar of which I would say is Paris Hilton (the first one, in the pink and black striped bottle). It’s quite fresh while being sweet at the same time, but not overly sticky candy sweet thankfully. Unfortunately the staying power is very poor and re-application is necessary within a few short hours. However, I suspect this line is being phased out, as they are all now very cheap and easy to get hold of for next to nothing online, so grab yourself a bargain for general casual wear when the weather’s warm. Unlikely to offend anyone due to being so generic and weak.
Mixoist – :
I’m kinda confused, it smells excatly the same like Honey (the yeallow one).
San4ik0 – :
Sugared berries at first, then the cucumber comes in and it is refreshing but still quite sweet. Has the same sort of feel to it that Be Delicious does only with berries instead of apples. Light and sweet, spring and summer scent.
berbusari83 – :
I do like the smell of this perfume. Leaves a soft, very light, dreamy berry scent on my skin. Reminds me of sitting down with a bowl of raspberries and crème with a bit of sugar. Not what I would call a “sticky” sweet smell. The only problem I have with Ribbon is the longevity. Needs a heavy spray first thing in the morning, and a few sprays throughout the day to keep the scent. Overall, just a nice summer berry scent with a bit of a musk upon drying down.
Lopixan – :
update-I forgot to mention you can get the 3.4 ounce bottles of this and her other lollipop fragrances at fragrancex.com and fragrancnet.com for super cheap.Fragrancenet is slightly cheaper.I didn’t know these came in larger sizes but its a much better deal.fragrancex offers free returns.Just a heads up!
viktkorn – :
I am not really a fan of celebrity scents and the positive reviews that I have done on some of them I still don’t own any of them except this fragrance.First off I loooove butterflies!and second I am a sucker for perfume in blue bottles(angel,light blue)This is pure nostalgia in fragrance form.When I was a young girl I loved blue raspberry ring pops and the smell of blue slushies and shaved ices.This fragrance captures those things perfectly while still being wearable.It is summer fun in a butterfly bottle.I usually prefer more sophisticated scents but this is really beautiful and fun to wear.It starts off with a tart blue raspberry note with some honeydew melon which gives it an aquatic airiness.A touch of cucumber keeps it very fresh.The florals are very sheer but they are fresh and clean and go with the popsicle ringpop vibe.The drydown is soft and woodsy and you can really smell sugar crystals on your skin and the musk is very subtle.I am not going to lie this perfume is very sweet but not in a pink sugar vanilla way more of a sweet refreshing way.It is very much like a blue raspberry slushie on a hot humid day.Sweet but thirst quenching at the same time.I would describe this as a flirty and romantic summer fragrance.It really is fun and unique and smells like its named.This is a girly and whimsical fragrance and can be worn by young and old alike.This brings back memories of hot days walking to the candy shop and not being able to wait until I got home to open my sweet tart raspberry ring pop! or drinking a cool tart blue raspberry slushie on vacation with my family.Is this sophisticated? NO!But its so much fun and flirty.I feel like a butterfly on a beautiful summer evening!

After researching Mariah’s fragrances,found this gem at Ross for $9.99/50ml.Fell completely in love with the cutesy girly ombre bottle and the fresh fruity scent.
Originally my mom (in her late 50s) stole this from me,which was a first as she normally doesn’t like sweet fruity fragrances.I’ve since sneaked it back into my collection and think that this is a fragrance that can be worn by a woman of any age (I’m in my early 30s).
I get raspberries and sugar,with a fresh water-like note that must be coming from the melon/cucumber.It does remind me of blue slurpees and popsicles,cool and juicy and great for summer!
Lasting power is amazing on me, sprays in each of the inner elbow and on chest, neck and back projects a nice cloud for about an hour or two, then fades to a nice skin scent and stays on clothes overnight.
Well done Mariah!
agent99 – :
I found this on a whim this weekend at our TJ Maxx store…albeit a tiny half ounce one because admittedly, I loved the little bottle and assumed it smelled like something fruity. I haven’t bought any of M’s other fragrances since I’m usually weary of buying a celeb fragrance before smelling them…but I was pleasantly surprised with this. It’s not sickly sweet smelling, but refreshingly sweet.
It’s a very nice summer scent. Perfect for pool days or hot summer nights out. Initially I get something of a sunkissed raspberry (blue raspberry ring pop), which quickly dries down to a pleasant cucumber melon/dewy white flower with some aquatic notes. I’m sure it’s the aquatic notes that keep this from becoming a frag that’s just one big fruit bowl. It’s an oddly interesting mix when I think about it though…I didn’t think I’d like a cross of sunkissed raspberry and cucumber melon as much as this.
I really, really like this, I just wish it had more lasting power. I only get a few hours from this one and then its gone unless I spray a few sprays of it, including my clothes.
