I usually go for fresh, clean, out-of-the-shower scents, but I do love a cozy scent like Snowflakes & Cashmere, and there are some sweet scents I enjoy. So when I heard that Strawberry Snowflakes smelled like a creamy milkshake, I thought it might be a soft, comforting winter scent.

But honestly? It’s not what I expected. The first thing it reminded me of was alpenliebe strawberry candy—artificially creamy, but not in a thick, cozy way. The lasting power is awful—it barely lasts 30 minutes on me, even if you drench yourself in it. And weirdly enough, sometimes I get this minty-paan-like note in the background, which I cannot un-smell now. It also starts off very alcoholy, then settles into a plasticky, artificial strawberry scent. If this is a milkshake, it’s the bottled syrup kind, not the fresh, creamy kind.

Again I'm someone who knows nothing about fragrances, so this is just my honest take on what I smell. For me, it’s just a very plain scent—sweet with a hint of that minty-paan note and a slight milkshake vibe, but there’s nothing more to it. I haven’t even used half the bottle because it fades so quickly. If you’re into fruity, sweet scents, you might enjoy it for winter, especially the dry down, which is a bit more like a milkshake. But it won’t last long, so you’ll need to reapply. If you’re someone who enjoys fruity scents, it could work for you, but it’s just not my type.

Overall, it’s not the worst thing ever, but it’s definitely not for me. I’d rate it maybe 3 ya 4/10.
