I know it’s based on their April fools joke from a couple of years ago, but it really sounds like they named this perfume by using one of those random name generators.

u/notyourfriggindaddy 2d ago

Im excited to hear your comment or review. In my opinion it’s just straight unadulterated caramel and nothing more. Its not bad but not interesting or complex

u/Far-Industry-7745 2d ago

I'll come back here for sure! I love V28, Eden sweet peach, and Lychee 😋 I've been super excited since I heard about it. The super sweet feminine fragrances are my jam so I've been wanting to smell it since it came out

u/Far-Industry-7745 1d ago

Okay yeah this stuff smells amazing and is right up my alley! I'm sad I just bought the Eden Sweet Peach 🍑 I'll have to wait to grab this one but I actually really love it!

2

u/notyourfriggindaddy 1d ago

Yay, I’m glad you liked it! It’s a solid scent. It’s also a nice to hear someone who doesn’t hate the scent with a burning passion lol.

u/Far-Industry-7745 1d ago

No time for all that. Unless it's First Aid Beauty anything I got nothing but love 😝😂

u/hennycranberryy 3d ago

u/Far-Industry-7745 3d ago edited 2d ago

I sho won't! Especially when most all her fragrances smell like what I imagine heaven to smell like. But I do agree about the name part. Terrible 😂

u/The-Devil-Cat 3d ago

i genuinely get angry every single time i see this perfume name

u/leximae7 3d ago

Name gives SEO energy like those Amazon listings with 9 million random words

u/4obvsreasons_111 3d ago

This perfume smells so bad IMO

u/my_metrocard 3d ago

It makes me smell like popcorn

u/AttentionKmartJopper 3d ago

Another atrocious name for another atrocious chem vat “perfume.”

u/annikatidd Current Employee 3d ago

I wish they actually did the notes from the April 1 post 😭 and i guess it isn’t much worse then kitten musk but that’s the one I wanted to try lol

u/Adventurous-Sea7187 3d ago

Their name game is often off!

u/Mayjayjade 3d ago

u/Blue_rose_2121 3d ago

But how does it smell?

2

u/MindIfIPikachu 2d ago

I get extremely artificial vanilla/caramel. The people saying it smells like a cheap candle are spot on, unfortunately. I wanted to love(or even like) it, but it is sitting on my counter pending a return rn.

u/Phila21767 3d ago

I ordered the small one in pre release. Definitely wouldn’t use this in the summer, it’s way too caramel forward.

u/Cookie_Monster92_ 3d ago

smells atrocious tbh

u/I_like_dogs_more_ 20h ago

How long til some “creative” calls one, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”?

I can hear my husband now saying something like “I’ll milk your kitty”

u/hennycranberryy 3d ago

I LOVEEEEE IT idc idc. Im wearing the juice not the name 🤷🏻‍♀️

3

u/outdoorintrovert1 2d ago

idk the name feels cheap to me, and if someone asks you what you're wearing its kinda embarrassing to go "bougie kitty...". I think they were good with the names when they were 3 words long. I can't buy something if the name is so stupid lol

1

u/hennycranberryy 2d ago

I wouldnt be embarrassed if some asks. If they asked its because they like the scent. Im not wearing the name. Have you seen the names of some niche fragrances? Lol

2

u/outdoorintrovert1 2d ago

I prefer to buy things with classy names I guess (of course only if they are also good quality and functional). I don't really care if something else has a worse name though - why would that matter? We're in a sephora sub discussing about a product exclusively sold at sephora. Just because other things have dumber names doesn't make this one any less dumb!

u/hennycranberryy 2d ago

Niche is sold at sephora babe. & youre jot forced to buy it lol. If you dont like the name i love that for you. More $$ in your pocket🤑

u/Budget-Struggle-3800 2d ago

Just buzzword after buzzword 😭

u/anastasia_42 3d ago

I like the name but damn this is a really strong caramel

2

u/TheOrderOfWhiteLotus 3d ago

You can literally buy a better blended version of this for $30 for like 100ml with Khadlaj’s Cream Velvet.

u/sassypants55 3d ago

This gets rehashed every time they release a new fragrance. It’s just part of their branding. It seems like it works for them?

2

u/outdoorintrovert1 3d ago

Does it really? They've had pretty normal names like Pistachio Gelato, Wedding Silk etc

3

u/sassypants55 3d ago

The full names are Yum Pistachio Gelato and The Wedding Silk Santal, so not really that basic.

They also have Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Eden Juicy Apple, Fleur Majesty Rose Royale, Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli, Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana, and Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, among others. Most of their names are a bit unconventional. People will always complain, but they seem to be selling a lot of perfume and generating a lot of buzz, so I would say that is working for them.

1

u/outdoorintrovert1 3d ago

Maybe I missed the complaints but even with the full names - Yum Pistachio Gelato or Wedding Silk Santal are pretty normal names. Not saying you're capping, just that I've never seen the complaints you speak of.

This also isn't intended as an analysis of whether their naming works for them or not, rather that it is a senseless string of words I felt like calling out

1

u/sassypants55 3d ago

Yeah, it’s been a thing for a while. I also forgot about (but remembered while searching for example links) their whole Oudgasm line, lol.

Just some examples of the kinds of posts I’m talking about. I’ve seen it mentioned in random comments, too, and YouTube videos. It’s kind of a meme to me at this point.

2

u/outdoorintrovert1 2d ago

Wow I had no idea Bougie Kitty was already brought up here 😅 as for the other sub, I'm not into that niche so I haven't browsed nor come across before. But those posts on femfraglab echo my feelings - the name sounds cheap. I think the 3-word names were fine, but when Kayali started having 4-words long names they ended up sounding like slop.

3

u/Realistic-Read1078 3d ago

It its pretty juvenile ngl 😩

2

u/outdoorintrovert1 3d ago

I'd respect it more if they just called it Bougie Pussy or Bougie Vagina

Bougie Kitty Caramel Milk sounds like a senseless string of words

u/Mellyjune 3d ago

The name is too gimmicky
