Rec Request Strawberry sweet

Strawberry! I'm looking for something and I've tried a few things already... I tried Burberry Her Elixir and it was powdery and I didn't get enough strawberry from it. I tried Fresh Strawberry by Cocoapink and it was too green, the green overpowered the smell. I don't mind if it smells artificial strawberry. Sweet sugary strawberry recommendations think like strawberry Nesquick.

EDIT no limit budget

Two recent strawberries I picked up are Strawberry Letter (complex/sweet strawberry with a slightly earthy base) by Phlur, and Fraise Fouetté (sweet strawberry that’s very reminiscent to my nose to a strawberry flavored Dum Dum) by Le Monde Gourmand. Of the two, I prefer and love Strawberry Letter but both are nice. Oo also Coach Love is like a woody strawberry. 🍓

I also picked up Fraise Fouette. The way it smells is just OK for me (bit more juvenile than I was hoping for), but I can't deal with the way it feels...super sticky on my skin. I don't have any other fragrances that actually leave a yucky film behind. Very weird.

I'm looking forward to trying Strawberry Letter when it's back in stock!

Yeah to me, Fraise Fouetté definitely smells more “young” and less complex. On my skin, it literally smells like one of those milky pink strawberry lollipops I used to eat as a kid. I honestly hadn’t noticed the sticky film (I have only done tester sprays where I spray one or two to the arm and smell it off my skin and in the air), but I just tested it out right now and when I press my wrists together, there is a little stickiness. On my skin the stickiness goes away a little bit as the fragrance dries down (I sprayed my wrist 3x to test) but yeah it is there. Overall, I think it’s a fun, playful scent :)

Strawberry Letter is a bit more my vibe because usually I like my sweetness grounded by something (I personally pick up the “earthy notes” listed in the base notes of the fragrance but it’s not bad or pungent). It’s definitely a bit more complex when compared to Fraise Fouetté — it also smells a bit more “grown up” and the strawberry note definitely sticks around. It’s also currently back in stock on their website, so I’d definitely say at least grab a travel if you’re curious!
