Too Faced Better Than Sex Perfume Comes with a Big Lasciate Ogne Speranza, Voi Ch’intrate Moment

Do you see what I mean? Didn’t I tell you Better Than Sex Mascara was being pushed at me a lot lately? And here we are with the launch of Too Faced Better Than Sex Perfume that arrives very soon for the Fall 2021 season.

Guess what? Too Faced Better than Sex Perfume is available now at macys.com!

Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate my friends. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

If you choose to walk down this path all hope is lost.

Or is it?

I don’t care! BURN ME IN HELL (please sprinkle my ashes at Caf� Du Monde! Right on the floor is fine where I can blend in with all the sprinkles of sugar!) because I need some Too Faced Better Than Sex Perfume in my beauty life RIGHT NOW! I wrote a rather long article earlier this week farting in the general direction of a Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara because that sh1t isn’t better than sex and if you think it is well, you’ve been having really bad sex.

I thought it was slightly suspicious that Too Faced was going hard with the Better Than Sex marketing lately across social platforms and now I realize why. I thought maybe they were bracing for Fall sales but nope, they are obviously ready to pimp out the new Better Than Sex Fragrance.

Allure got first dibs on the story and the image of the bottle which I stole from them like a thief in the night. The bottle is stunning to say the least and speaks to my pretty little princess side. It’s also apparently extremely limited with a price tag of $105 bucks for 3.4 oz.

Frank Voelkl is the nose behind the scent whom you may be familiar with as he created Le Labo’s Santal 33 as well as Glossier You. This concerns me every so slightly as both those scents are unisex with a bit of a masculine finish. I’m not expecting sweet and juvenile from the Better Than Sex Fragrance but I was hoping for something that has a skin-like scent (Glossier promises this but personally, I don’t get that from it!).

The notes are pretty much around the world in eight days with fruity layers of passion fruit, lychee, peach, and citrus and floral ones of magnolia, jasmine, orchid, and a finish of earthiness with notes of musk, amber, patchouli, amber, cedarwood, and sandalwood. The goal of the scent is obviously to bring fourth an element of sexiness.

I do feel like Too Faced Better Than Sex Perfume will be an impossible one to get your hands on if it turns out as limited as hinted at but we’ll have to wait and see when it does launch. Expect to see Better than Sex Perfume in September and available at toofaced.com.

Is it something might consider buying?

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.

    I…kind of want it. I hope it comes in a smaller size. 3+ oz is a lot of perfume to get through. I hope it doesn’t smell like a Victoria Secret body spray: fruity amber florals. Hopefully, the patchouli and cedar lend a bit of a bite. It’s very pretty!

    • Isabella Muse

      I def want it for sure Let’s hope they do something smaller! Gosh I hope not!

  • kimkats

    no no and NO.I’ve had enough better than sex stuff!!! It sounds generic as all get out, and a little pricey as well.

    Newp, that’s a hard pass for moi!

      • kimkats

        I gotta admit, that bottle is a thing of beauty – it would looks awesome on a vanity!!! But the juice inside doesn’t sound that thrilling to me….

        I may soften my stance and at least sniff it . I assume I’ll be able to walk away from it after that. I assume….

  • Angela

    Oh my- I would almost buy it for the bottle alone- it�s gorgeous! 105$ is a lot though for perfume, it�d be nice if there was a small size to try it out.

    Also I never understood the hype with the mascara?! I tried it & felt like it was just like any other I�ve used…

    • Isabella Muse

      The mascara never thrilled me either!!!!!!!!!! Maybe they’ll do a 1.7 oz!

  • Ashe

    There’s so much to unpack here, Muse. Was that Italian? Why is Elmo seemingly conjuring something? Why are we sprinkling you in the floor with sugar? Where is Cafe du Monde? Why are we farting in certain directions? Does any of this reference anything?

    Anyway thank you for the review, there’s just a lot unanswered questions here

    • Isabella Muse

      ashe there’s always a lot to unpack when I start bringing in the references! LOL! Elmo is burning in hell just like Better Than Sex Mascara can LOL! Because I hate it so much. It’s a little nod to the irony that I hate Better Than Sex Mascara but I’m willing to try the perfume so, yeah, going against myself here and burning in hell for it. Cafe du Monde is a cafe in New Orleans that serves up yummy Beignets. The floor is always covered in powdered sugar. To me that would be a perfect resting place 🙂 The translation is in my post, Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate=Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. It’s from the Divine Comedy, Dante’s Inferno to be exact when Dante enters the gates of hell. I hope that makes more sense!

      • Ashe

        Ah, I DO know Dante’s Inferno! I just thought it was weird that, yanno, Elmo was the one welcoming me to hell xD Cafe du Monde sound absolutely delicious!

        • Isabella Muse

          dude didn’t you know? Elmo is the cruise director down in Hell! LOL! Cafe du Monde is paradise 🙂 Best Beignets in all of New Orleans!

    • Isabella Muse

      yeah when Dante passes through the gates of hell the inscription had read Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Look back a few years ago, I mentioned it before and you asked the same question LOL! I think it was on a fragrance post as well! History repeating itself!

      • kjh

        Ombfg! Scent and quote dementia! I love to try to translate languages with which I have no familiarity. It started with my HS motto in Latin, which to me read �food culture culture food.� I used the Dante quote in English on many a job, as well as �Throw your (professional) license in the shredder.�

        • Isabella Muse

          I took Latin in Jr High. A dear old nun taught it to us lol! It was the weirdest experience of my life and left me wondering, “How will Latin help me in the regular world?” Needless to say it never did. Ahh Catholic School education taking me no where fast hahaha!

          • Christina

            Not true, Muse! If you play video games, you’ll go far with Latin. LOL!

          • Isabella Muse

            LMAO! As a gamer some Latin has worked itself in there.

          • Kristin

            You summed up my thoughts exactly about Latin! I went to a snooty private school and Latin was taught in 7th & 8th grades. *Unfortunately* aforementioned private school was too cheap to hire an actual Latin teacher so the principal, whose only Latin experience was taking it in high school, appointed himself the “teacher.” He would literally teach himself the day’s lesson in the morning and then try to teach it to us. It got to the point where the class brain would be constantly correcting him. So no, I don’t know any Latin. (Plus they started us on French in kindergarten so I was constantly getting the two languages mixed up.)
            And then came parochial high school, which was…lets just say ‘inadequate.’ Having an octogenarian who exhibited signs of senile dementia teaching freshman math was not a great move….

          • Isabella Muse

            Same here same here! I went to a private Catholic school and Latin was part of the lesson course. Completely useless in my opinion but yeah, totally had to learn it lol! Oh my god that sounds horrible! What a waste of time for you! That sounds awful! You could have some other lesson versus latin which you aren’t even using it. What a shame 🙁

  • Kimmwc03

    I might try it if they bring out a rollerball. The patchouli note scares me off a little. Although, I do like Glossier’s You.

    • Isabella Muse

      I know that tends to score me too but when done right it can be good! Glossier’s You is nice but not what I expected!

  • Stephanie

    Hi Muse! The bottle is beautiful, but I don�t like the name. I would be kind of embarrassed having that on my vanity lol.

    I�m with you on the mascara. I�ve tried it multiple times because Too Faced usually offers it as a gift with purchase, but I�ve always disliked it every time. My lashes get so clumpy. There are far better mascaras out there.

    • Isabella Muse

      Awwww!!!!! Not me! I’d flaunt it on my vanity because the bottle is so pretty hehe ;-D There are indeed!

  • Sakura

    Everything that I love from Too Faced I’d discontinued… Peach Perfect, Born this way Concealer…but BTS is holding strong. I really don’t get it! The mascara isn’t great but better than the Damn Girl Mascara…. Total garbage. Soooo I’m a bit bitter.
    But, If I’m near a store and can sniff it I will, but I have low expectations. But that being said I want to like Jerrod. He is positive and gives nice pep talks if you are a person like myself who wants to start their own business. He is very nice on Instagram and gives nice responses too. I’m not saying that he or the brand is perfect though. The Rich Lives Matter debacle sucks! Anyway that’s my 2 cents.

    BTW Love the Elmo conjuring image!

    • Isabella Muse

      I don’t get why Too Faced just diced so many good items especially born this way concealer which was a good pick (a bit sheer for me but still a great formula). I’m not a huge Jerrod fan tbh but I try to give him the benefit of the doubt. haha glad you liked it!
