Something about M by Mariah over time becomes such a gem! First impression I was just like you, but over time owning it, sniffing it & wearing it occasionally I find it to be such a fave! Keep it on your shelf and see about it over time.
Patchouli is in a lot of fragrances because it helps a lot with lasting power. Sometimes its mixed in well and other times it's a Patchouli bomb and absolutely disgusting. I also bought M by Mariah Carey recently and wasn't impressed either. I get so frustrated when something is hyped up and turns out to be a dud. I feel ya!!
I also don’t love M - it gives me a headache in the opening, the dry down is better. I also love Creamy Sunshine - it’s lasting power is SO LONG for me - smell it the next day even!
My boyfriend loves M a lot. Aqualina Gold in the gold bottle is the pink sugar version but coconut, sweet and tropical. No white florals in it just pure sweet coconut, way better than creamy sunshine. If you didn't like creamy sunshine because it wasn't sweet enough(it's not super sweet like pink sugar) then go for gold. It's extremely rare. I bought 4 bottles when I found it and am selling 1 on poshmark for $70.
Ahhh I had no idea it was rare or even so beloved. I found my gold rush at Marshall’s years ago for very cheap and kind of hate it. I haven’t worn it in ages.. there’s just something so unsettling about it for me! I have to try it again and see
I’m just waiting till they come up with a technology that allows to transmit smells through the phone, so that I can make decisions of what to purchase based on other people’s blind buys😂 like with Mariah Carey’s M! That one I see and something is preventing me from buying it...
Omg my comments keep getting deleted. So frustrating!! Anyways it's basically said that I enjoy down fragrancenet rabbit holes and that another hidden gem besides Armaf's Club de Nuit Woman is Police Shock in Scent, another dupe for Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier. But I think it's a mix of Scandal and Mon Guerlain.
Oh wow! Thanks for leaving the comment again cause I can see this one ❤️ I’ve got the original Scandal but I feel like I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t like it!
@@MZ4life I think it's a good thing to figure out what we dislike that way we can narrow it down to notes we don't like and whatnot. I'm personally not a huge fan of honey or almond in perfumes, unless it's mixed in well or blends well with other notes. I discovered that I hate nutty notes after trying all of the Girl of Now's by Elie Saab lol.
I’m in Cambridge Ontario Canada and they have both yellow and blue pink sugars at shoppers drug mart right now :) $19.99 yay!! I love love love the creamy sunshine :) it’s so different and lovely and Berry blast is beautiful, but your right! So similar to the Original.
I wish the creamy sunshine pink sugar perfume worked for me. All I got was a heavy dose of gardenia and then regular pink sugar as it dries down. I now want to try the berry one. I love blueberry cotton candy.
@@MZ4life I think it depends on what the patchouli is mixed with… sometimes I like it sometimes I hate it… but I have to admit it helps the longevity of the perfumes a lot! ☺️
I love M by Mariah Carey, but it is a bit tempermental. I like it best once it sits on my skin. I heard about it from Fragrance with Ami and apparently it's the older formulations that are great (thankfully mine is). I did read another review that said it's more aging than formulation. Since you keep your bottles anyway, pull it out next winter to see what you think then. It does have a bit of a vintage/old world vibe to it that some people don't want. The rest of the fragrances in the line are crap, not even worth the $2-3 I paid for them. M tricked me into trying them. I am curious about the Pink Sugar flankers, especially Creamy Sunshine. The original is a total guilty pleasure of mine.
I’ve tried to remember and I can’t! I will say it smells like their very sweet stuff, but I don’t know what. It’s also sweet like rose marshmallow candy by Zara, a tad.
TH-cam made me buy M also and …I feel like it’s not the same formulation as previous years, so it doesn’t perform as well or smell the same as original…I’m letting mine sit and macerate, apparently that helps 😉

Ok I will keep trying!!
Creamy Sunshine reminds me of Clinique My happy Lilly of the Beach
I’ve never tried that one, good to know!
I'm definitely getting creamy sunshine right away!!! Thank you!! ❤️💕
Of course, enjoy girl

Thank you Chandra! Love your comment
Creamy Sunshine sounds amazing 😍 I love coconut fragrances, so I’ll definitely check it out. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts 🌹
Of course, thank you Yulia!
I also don’t love M - it gives me a headache in the opening, the dry down is better. I also love Creamy Sunshine - it’s lasting power is SO LONG for me - smell it the next day even!
Same girl!!! Ugh M was a huge letdown

Honestly it wasn’t worth the hype at all, I don’t get the hype! I wish that technology existed too, would love that for you guys
I'm going for it too Creamy Sunshine
Yay!

@@MZ4life that's ok!! I absolutely hate anything made by Elie Saab and everyone seems to love his perfumes!! I've owned 6 and decluttered them all 😂😂

I’m a guy and I enjoy wearing pink sugar it’s a really cheerful smelling fragrance 😊
Wear what you love 😊
@@MZ4life btw keep up the contents 😊

Yes I’ve seen that it’s appearing!!! Lucky all of you, I’ve seen it too but obviously I bought it for 10 dollars more each haha
Nice. Have you tried pink sugar red velvet? If so what you think 🤔
Yes I have!
I wish the creamy sunshine pink sugar perfume worked for me. All I got was a heavy dose of gardenia and then regular pink sugar as it dries down. I now want to try the berry one. I love blueberry cotton candy.
Really?! I loved it! Honestly Berry Blast is a let down cause it’s SO close to the og
Glad your Pink Sugar Flankers didn't disappoint you! :-D
Haha thanks girl ❤️
What do you layer your pink sugar with?♥️
I could do a video on that! I know I did one already on layering from a while ago
Armad
flame has blackberry, cranberry, violet and peony and of course vanilla.
Thank you!
I'm quite interested in Armaf 🤗 thank you for this review 😊
You’re welcome ☺️
Wat is ur update on armaf? Wat do u think it smells like ? Do u like it ? And have u tried any of their other lipstick shaped fragrances?
I don't get M either. Smells like a basic balsamic to my nose. I tend to go a little nose blind to scents like those. It's very muted.
Ugh thank you!
I prefer berry blast then the original ! I got 2 back ups 👏👏👏
Oh wow good on you!
Patchouli is in most of the fragrances to make it last longer, but if it’s to much it can be a little overwhelming ☺️🥰
Yeah… it gets sweaty on me and I hate that lol

Omg thank you for this, I’ll retry M this fall again and then again next year
Does Canada still have Blue Sugar available? That breaks my heart from over here in the UK 💔
Yes I believe so
What lush product did creamy sunshine remind you of? ❤
I’ve tried to remember and I can’t! I will say it smells like their very sweet stuff, but I don’t know what. It’s also sweet like rose marshmallow candy by Zara, a tad.
@@MZ4life Ahhh, okay! thanks so much for the quick response! I haven't tried it yet cause I'm afraid it might be too floral but I'm thinking about it.
Maybe Let the Good Times Roll face scrub ??
Thanks for sharing your video take care
❤️
Interesting perfums
❤️
M is not a great fragrance. Don't know y youtubers hyped it up
Dunno it's almost like they get paid to do so.....😂😂
RIGHT?!? I swear, I have no problem saying whether or not I love / hate something
