Demeter My Melody Cologne Spray Review, Photos

When I was a kid and well into adulthood I love/loved Hello Kitty. Yes, I say it’s ok to admit to loving Hello Kitty even when you’re far from your tween years.

Now…I gotta admit…Isn’t My Melody way cuter though? Must be those ickle wabbit ears that make her so much sweeter looking than Hello Kitty right? Plus she’s like a hybrid isn’t she? Fake ears but a real rabbit tail…so is she a cat or is she a rabbit or is she a hybrid of both!? If we take those ears away what’s hiding underneath!?

These are the questions that keep me up at night….

Speaking of cute I spritzed myself this morning with the Demeter My Melody Cologne Spray.

Jump!

Yum! This is delicious. If you’re a fan of foody fragrances this is for you. I honestly didn’t feel like this “smelled” like My Melody, I assumed she’d smell way sweeter but it’s still quite lovely none the less.

Her fragrance is that of a vanilla pound cake actually it’s the strongest note in the fragrance. It’s smooth, vanilla, slightly buttery, and all cake. Hints of warmer almond are laced in the blend but for the most part it’s a very cake-y scent.

I purchased the 4 oz trio set from Demeter which is $79 for three of the new Sanrio scents. Purchasing this saves you around $40 or so as each 4 oz bottle normally runs $39.50. I’m happy to have the large size as you do really need to spritz on quite a bit to get good linger and throw on these since Demeter scents are definitely weaker when it comes to lasting power.

I liked My Melody alot but she wasn’t exactly what I pictured as her signature scent. I was thinking her fragrance would lean more towards being berry-ish maybe. What do you think?

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Too cute! I love mymelody, but chococat is the best. And I think she’s just wearing a hat =P

    • the Muse

      she’s sweet maddie ;-D chococat is a fav of mine too ;-D Actually it’s a cloak but she’s really a rabbit according to Sanrio ;-D but I always fancied her a hybrid cat slash rabbit haha!

  • Desiree

    I have a friend who is obsessed with Hello Kitty and she would LOVE the perfume! I agree with you, My Melody is cuter. 🙂 I like Keroppi, the little frog.

  • Eve

    Yes I agree 100% that My Melody is cuter! She is my absolute favorite and always seems to be the underdog.
    And I think the hat is just an ear cover hehe. 😉
    Vanilla doesn’t really make me think of My Melody either, but maybe more like lemon? That’s what comes to my mind.

    • the Muse

      absolutely agreed eve ;-D yup! it is, it’s kinda a cloak 🙂 but she always looks like a cat to me like a hybrid bunny ;-D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mmm maybe lemongrass!!!!! ;D mixed with a hint of berry!?

  • Regina

    I must say I am partial to Hello Kitty…she is easily the cutest to me but all the Sanrio characters are pretty freakin cute. : )

  • Lindsay

    OMG I havent seen the little twin stars in forever! They used to be my favorites!

  • tini

    I ran a little late this morning and didn’t spritz anything this morning before work and the HK fragrances are right by my register so I may have possibly freeloaded on My Melody all day. Hey, it’s tasty! My boses know I love beauty stuffs and the kitty, the always make me put the stuff out, they should have put the perfumes RIGHT BY ME!

    i think your description is spot on.

  • Regina

    oh i was such a hello kitty/sanrio fan as a kid i had hello kitty everything, baggie, dress and shoes lol oh and i think melody is wearing a hoodie over her ears so its probably her real ears^^

  • Cristi

    Ooooh~! Could you do a review for the HK and Little Twin Stars too?

    This was a super cute post. I think the reason you imagine her being a cat is because she sports that yellow nose that HK has too. When I was a kid I called it her “little corn nose” (secretly I still do…), but I also thought it looked like a bar of Dial! XD

    I like that they went with the vintage character designs for these. :3

    • the Muse

      yup Cristi def have one planned hun. ha you’re right it does kinda look like dial ;-D

  • Chloe

    I’ve been dying to smell these in person, but I think I may just bite the bullet and order the Sanrio one. The smell of the gum/erasers makes me flip! I’d spray that stuff all over my clothes!

  • Annabella Freeman

    I had puffy stickers of Little Twin Stars and My Melody, makes me wish I was a kid again!
