A dupe of Crybaby perfume!
I’ve always wanted Melanie Martinez’s perfume crybaby but it goes for around $2,000! 😳 But this brand made a dupe and I’m beyond excited to have it! It smells SO good! Has notes of berries, cream, milk, powder, lotion, caramel, and woodsy. LIKE WHAAAAT. It smells so dreamy. 😍
Like many of you, I've been utterly obsessed with Melanie Martinez's iconic Cry Baby perfume for ages. The whimsical, nostalgic scent profile sounded absolutely divine – a unique blend that promised to transport me straight into a fantastical world. However, my dreams were quickly shattered once I saw the resale price. We're talking thousands of dollars for a bottle, which, let's be real, is just not feasible for most of us perfume lovers! My quest for an affordable alternative, a true dupe that wouldn't break the bank, led me down countless rabbit holes. I tried many fragrances claiming to be similar, but none ever truly hit that sweet, creamy, slightly melancholic spot that Cry Baby is famous for. That is, until I stumbled upon Oakcha's 'Praise The Perfume'. From the moment I saw the lovely pink rectangular perfume bottle, looking quite elegant, I had a good feeling. This isn't just another dupe; this is the dupe. Oakcha's 'Praise The Perfume' is an Extrait de Parfum, meaning it’s highly concentrated, and comes in a generous 50 ML e | 1.7 FL OZ size. And let me tell you, it truly lives up to its name. The scent is an intoxicating symphony of notes that instantly brought Cry Baby to mind. It opens with a burst of sweet, juicy berries, perfectly balanced by a rich, comforting creaminess. What truly stands out, and what I believe makes it such an exceptional dupe, is the prominent milk note. It’s not a sour or harsh milk, but rather a soft, warm, and slightly powdery accord that perfectly mimics the original's signature accord, making you feel wrapped in a cozy, nostalgic embrace. As the fragrance settles, those delicious caramel notes emerge, adding a gourmand sweetness without being cloying. There's also a delicate hint of lotion and a beautiful foundation of woody undertones that give it depth and sophistication. It’s dreamy, sweet, comforting, and just a little bit mysterious – everything I adored about the original Cry Baby. The performance is also fantastic; as an Extrait de Parfum, it lasts incredibly well on my skin, projecting beautifully for hours without being overwhelming. You'll catch delightful wafts of it throughout the day, which is always a sign of a high-quality fragrance. Considering the original's exorbitant price, Oakcha's 'Praise The Perfume' offers an unparalleled value. It allows you to experience that coveted Melanie Martinez scent profile without having to shell out thousands. If you've been yearning for Cry Baby but couldn't justify the cost, or if you simply love unique, creamy, sweet, and slightly woody scents, you absolutely need to get your hands on this. It’s truly a praise-worthy addition to any perfume collection!
