I’ve Always Wanted to Smell Like…

perfume

A Sanrio store! Those Hello Kitty erasers as a child and that grape gum that lost its taste within moments of the first chew just smelled so damn amazing. Lucky enough Demeter makes sure I can smell like Sanrio with their perfume which celebrates all things good about Hello Kitty, stickers, erasers, and awesome pencil cases.

Ah to be young again!

About the Muse

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. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

      I have Solstice Scents “Owl Creek Aleworks” and it smells exactly like cinnamon buns on me.

  • Nat

    my sister when she wears Obsession. It’s like that perfume was formulated to work with her DNA; smells sooooooo good on her!

  • Ashley

    The beach in Mexico! Ocean waves, the air, salt, sun, and sand. Balenciaga L’edition Mer is awesome, acqua di gioia, calvin klein aqua, and Elie Saab the resort collection are a few of my favs that got it right. And Issey Miyake L’eau de Issey.

  • Caroline

    …like teen spirit!

    No, seriously, I just want to smell clean. Especially after the gym or on hot days.

    I’ve always wished someone would bottle the scent of a perfume shop; somehow the mix off all the fragrances that are in the air when you walk into a beauty store Is always delightful rather than putrid, which it could just as easily be with so many scents mixed together. That smell, is my ideal fragrance.

  • Alexa

    My dream is to smell like a very sexy cake. So far the closest I’ve come is Prada’s Candy.

  • Carly

    The leaves of a tomato plant! There’s a Demeter version of this scent, and I looooove it.

  • Ryou

    I’ve always wanted to smell like Ispahan! It’s my favorite dessert, comprised of rosewater-almond macarons sandwiching rosewater-vanilla scented italian meringue buttercream, raspberries, and lychee. It’s to die for!

    Alternatively, I really want to smell like a Guerlain powder/lipstick. I believe they used to have a perfume with the same fragrance (Meteorites) but it’s long discontinued.

    • Isabella Muse

      you might wanna try French Kiss, it smells like the lipsticks 😉 And yeah Meteorites is long gone 🙁 I wish they’d re-do that fragrance! So sad! I hear Chanel misia is a great cosmetic powder smell! I haven’t smelled it yet but that’s on my list of wants 😀 I’m thinking I need to just go in blindfolded as I haven’t seen it at any counter yet!

    Honeysuckle! To me, blooming honeysuckle is the most magical, beautiful scent in the world. Perfumes, even single-note honeysuckle like Demeter, just don’t capture it; they always smell like gardenia or tuberose with extra artificial sweetness. If there were a perfume that smelled like true honeysuckle I would buy it no matter the cost or difficulty.

    • Leslie

      Rebecca, have you tried the new spring scents at Bath & Body Works? I smelled a honeysuckle candle there the other day…can’t remember if they had the body lotions or sprays that had the same scent…but the candle did smell like honeysuckle…it was perfect.

  • Danadoo

    Incense, and not that crappy nag champa oil that smells awful! I want to smell like straight up catholic church incense, its my favorite smell in the world!

    • Autumn

      Passage D’Enfer by L’Artisan Parfumeur smells like catholic church incense (strange for a scent called the gates of hell, but true). It will set you back $145, though.

  • devon

    honey!!! ooooh i looooove honey! the body shop honey fragrance is my #1. wish it were more honey-y, but honeyhoneyhoneyhoneyhoney!

  • Leslie

    I love the smell of roses. I use Roses De Chloe perfume. Can’t get enough of it! It doesn’t smell totally like roses but it has that component. I also have candles from Yankee Candle…Fresh Cut Roses…and it smells exactly like a fresh rose lol. LOVE!!

  • AmyBS

    Retro on Etsy makes a Zucchini bread lotion that smells absolutely, insanely delicous. I love to smell liked baked goods but this one is amazing.

  • Molly

    My husband, who is obsessed with Disney World, spent years trying on colognes so that he could smell like the end of the Norway ride (which they are replacing with a Frozen-themed ride, boo).

    I, on the other hand, want to smell like the morning dew on the grass on a cold summer morning. (I just realized how pretentious that sounds, but it’s true!)

  • Sienna

    Stargazer lilies! I’ve smelled some decent lily scents, but nothing has captured the way the flowers actually smell.

  • Brian

    I have always wanted to smell like MAC’s signature vanilla scent in their lip products. If they sold a perfume of it, I would probably hoard bottles and bottles!

    I am still in love with Hello Kitty and all things Sanrio. I feel like their products are becoming so difficult to find in stores though. I also heard that the Times Square location closed :'(

  • Amber

    Some of the commenters above have great taste! Fellow foodie scent lovers unite! Cocoa Pink has some really great cake scents, like Cake On Mondays. I want to smell soft and sweet, like cotton candy and marshmallow. But I like to try pretty much any perfume!

  • Pamela

    The ocean, or lemons, or oranges. I buy fragrances that say they do, but it never really happens!

  • Holly

    The Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas. Their rooms have a warm tropical smell–not to bright and shiny if you know what I mean but rich and luxurious.

  • janechemi

    I’ve always wanted to smell like a MAC lipstick. I’ve accumulated tons of vanilla based perfumes trying to find it but no luck.
