Strange thing (or not) is I get no marzipan in/from this. Not the sweet, between the sheets of icing, almond-y paste. I get bitter, crushed almonds and a peppery initial blast. It reminds me a lot of Furze and that is because there is no cassis or cassia in this. It is acacia farnesiana (mimosa or cassie) absolute. So from a distance this lovely yellow, furry floral does smell sweet, coconutty and heady…I suppose it might pass for marzipan to some noses. Does that mean I am disappointed. Well, yes, a little. I have smelled soaps that smell just like marzipan (not smelled the Lush one yet) so maybe this works better as a soap, not a perfume? It is a groovy smell though, will have to test side by side with Furze to get the differences.

An interesting scent. A bit gourmand, a bit floral, and alot resin-y (guess that’s the benzoin?). I like this sweet scent, even though it gives me a bit of a headache. The soap is very nice, too. It lasts and is pretty strong on my dry skin.
Edit: Ooooh my, is this strong and long-lasting! Gives me a bit of a headache if I over-apply or get too close to my face with it. Very powdery gourmand!

I’m a fan of the snow cake soap and was excited to get this perfume.it smell exactly like the soap but has a more Resiness smell to it and is by far the weakest fragrance in my collection.it doest last for more than 30 mins and it disappears completely even on clothes.its a shame as its really nice but doesn’t last at all.

With a name like snowcake I was guessing something gourmandy, maybe chocolate, coconut, , izing/frosting. Well you won’t find that here. They held back the gourmand and took it in a cleaner direction. It’s almond soap with a ‘chewy’ quality, Probably the marzipan.
It’s a bit oily on skin, so I don’t recommend spraying on clothes

Well…. it smells very simply like an almond bar soap. Just like the almond fragrance used in so many almond scented hand soaps and bath and body products. It does not smell foodie – which is what I actually expected. It is creamy and soft, and just a teensy bit floral. Very very mildly sweet. If you’re interested in smelling like those pretty homemade almond soaps commonly found at your local farmer’s market – then by all means give this one a try. I’m pretty sad they didn’t offer it in a sample like most of the other fragrances on the website. I probably won’t use this very often – but I will use it when I want to smell softly almondy clean. Or perhaps I’ll use it to scent some drawer sachets. It’s that kind of scent. It is pretty, but very one dimensional. But again, if you love an almond bar soap you’ll probably like it. — I’ve tried layering it with Molinard Vanille to amp up the sweetness, and that makes it more of what I expected it to be in the first place. I just thought it would be a richer gourmand smell. It’s pretty shy and a little thin, but it does last.

I recieved this for Christmas.
An instant favourite for me…
Quite soft sillage but long lasting on me at least. Can still smell it after 7 hours or so 🙂
I personally just get marzipan and almond, I don’t notice the floral notes but suits me as it’s such a delicious scent.
I only wish it wasn’t limited edition.

Loveley perfume, stays close to the skin, what is kind of weird for something from Lush. The scent is not exactly sweet, it’s a more dry almond, even a little soapy probably because of the rose combo. Like it a lot, this is a keeper.

I went to a LUSH store in NYC today to inquire about the new limited edition scents for the holidays, including this one. I was first told that there were no limited edition holiday fragrances,, so I threw out a few names: Snowcake, Snowfairy, whatever, to see if they rang any bells. I was then told by three separate employees that Snowcake is “not available as a fragrance” and that it only comes in the form of a lotion, shower gel, etc. I told them they had it wrong, and that if anything it was an online exclusive, which after much exasperated deliberation, they confirmed, but then qualified by saying that it might be sold out.
Get it together Lush. Your products aren’t good enough to endure such wishy-washy customer service. In fact, no one’s are.
