Annabel's Birthday Cake

Annabel's Birthday Cake is a gourmand fragrance that captures the essence of a nostalgic, idealized childhood party, blending sweet floral and creamy notes with a distinctive synthetic undertone. It opens with a fresh, slightly citrusy lemon and heliotrope, followed by a soft, powdery swirl of vanilla, honey, and whipped cream, accented with delicate cupcake and rose petals. The heart features a subtly overdosed tuberose and floral candy, creating a light, airy, and slightly unworldly sweetness that avoids cloying or cheapness. The dry down is a complex, creamy blend of tonka bean, cacao pod, and a faint yet persistent latex-like balloon note—reminiscent of inflated party decorations, scented dolls, or pastel plastic. The scent is intimate and wearable, projecting moderately, and performs best in cooler weather. It’s not a literal cake fragrance; rather, it’s a refined, evocative impression of a sweet, feminine moment—an artistic rendering of cake, not the thing itself.
