Cocoa Pink Blackberry Sugar Review

Brand: Cocoa Pink
Availability: General Catalog
Notes: Blackberry, Sugar Whipped Cotton Candy, and a splash of Candy floss.

First impression out of bottle: Tart blackberries

Freshly applied: Blackberry cotton candy


Drydown: Still blackberry cotton candy. This is fluffy and yummy like Long Winter Farm Unicorn Farts, but the character is distinctly blackberry, not strawberry. 


After several hours: As it wears, it becomes sweeter and less fruity I think. So after a few hours you end up with a very sugary, plush purple cotton candy with only a hint of realistic blackberry twist. There's a bit of sugaryness that could be frosting. Could be good and more complex layered with Cocoa Pink's Midnight Hag!




Longevity: High

Sillage: Medium

Would an [X] lover love this? I think anyone who enjoys cotton candy would like this- it's a little different from the usual strawberry cotton candy and really evokes a purpley berry candy. 


Would an [X] hater love this? Someone who dislikes cotton candy won't find this very nice. If there were earthier or spicier scents mixed in, then it might be a different case, but there's nothing tempering the chirpy sweet fruitiness here.


Where am I? At a berry harvest fair, eating some specialty blackberry cotton candy


Where would I wear this? Probably for daytime, weekend stuff mostly. I think I prefer my cotton candy scents with a little dark twist, whether that's cocoa (Sixteen92 Black Sugar), smoke (Cocoa Pink Pink Bonfire), or more variety in the sweetness (Aquolina Pink Sugar.)
