I recently stumbled upon their perfume aisle, and of course, the 'Sweet Treat Sundae' Eau de Parfum immediately caught my eye. As someone who loves gourmand scents, I had to pick up this 100 ML bottle to see if it lived up to its name. And let me tell you, I have thoughts!
First impressions: The packaging is surprisingly cute for the price point. The box for 'Sweet Treat Sundae' perfectly hints at what's inside. When I first sprayed it, I was hit with an immediate burst of sugary sweetness, almost like a mix of vanilla ice cream and warm caramel sauce. It's definitely a playful, youthful scent, and I can see why it's getting so much buzz. It's not overly complex, but sometimes, you just want something fun and straightforward, right?
As it dries down, the initial intense sweetness mellows a bit, and I started to pick up on some slightly fruity undertones, maybe a hint of berry or cherry, which reminds me of the toppings on a real sundae. It's not cloying, which was a pleasant surprise for such a sweet perfume. For an Eau de Parfum at this price, the longevity is pretty decent. I got about 3-4 hours of noticeable wear before it became a skin scent, which is perfectly acceptable for an everyday spritz or when you just want a little pick-me-up throughout the day. I keep it in my bag for a quick re-application!
Compared to some other Five Below finds, like the 'SO VERY sexy' or 'Dahlia LE FLEUR' scents I've seen, 'Sweet Treat Sundae' definitely stands out as the most overtly gourmand. If you're into those deep, musky florals or sophisticated fruity notes, this might not be your top pick. But if you adore fragrances that smell like desserts, candy, or anything edible, you'll likely enjoy this. I even tried layering it with a plain vanilla body lotion, and it amplified the dessert vibe wonderfully! It's a fantastic option for teens, anyone new to perfumes, or just if you want a fun, inexpensive scent to add to your collection without breaking the bank. For 100 ML, it's an absolute steal!
