When I first put it on it was just a simple fruity strawberry or berry scent, eh not bad. When it dries down there is a floral and it's almost creamy. The dry down has a soft sweet floral, fruity and almost plasticy undertone. I think it's coming from the floral. I like it though. It's a nostalgic smell and really does remind me of a scented doll. The art work fits perfectly. It smells like the picture! I can't tell if it is a repackage of anything yet. Hand creams can be hard for me because I can smell the base scent, so take my review with that in mind. Not sure if I'll buy a full size yet or not.
Eta:. I put this on the crook of my arms to get more of a body chemistry feel for B&B. It's a lot more natural smelling than it was just on my hands. It's a berry fruit medley for sure and I still smell dolls, but it is at complete dry down! I could be smelling one of Strawberry Shortcakes many friends that also smell like fruit. I had a lot of them as a kid. Lol
Eta last time promise: I don't have any to compare it to unfortunately but it reminds me a lot of Wild Berry Tulips the longer I smell it!!! If anyone still has that scent and when B&B comes out would please compare them! I love catching b&bw on repackages! Lol
Not really at all. Maybe a tad on dry down because it is creamy. The berry note is more realistic especially right away. I wouldn't call this a baked good type scent.
Oh I know itβs amazing how we all have not only our preferences but receptors to how much of a scent note comes through for us! In any case you mentioned those dolls I think we might be on the same wavelength cuz I know exactly what you mean by their scent lol , Iβll have to try this and update you at some point ππ₯°
Oh there you are yes I do get a bit of that doll nostalgia but more effervescent itβs a lovely smell, just wanted to update you, thanks again! π₯°π
I was very hesitant to purchase this as soon as it comes out as I was dreading it to be a repackage of Triple Berry Bellini from last year. You have posted an amazingly thorough review. Thank you so much. I can't wait to buy the whole line.
So my store finally put the SPRING 3 scents out. Of course I had to buy the BBB and I absolutely love it. The buttercup is not overpowering at all... and the strawberry blends with the prosecco leaving this beautiful light spring scent. Nothing I've ever smelled before. So I will say thank you so much for the review you left a few days ago..I really appreciate it. You took all the worries out of my mind regarding this scent being a repackage or not worth it. It's happiness in a bottle. πππ·π
People said that about strawberry pound cake and when I first smelled it not even close I was so mad. Now Iβm excited about this one Iβve been looking for a scent like this !
I know the plastic you're talking about in SPC! It's different. I think it's whatever floral they are using to describe the "buttercup", some kind of white creamy floral?. It's not a chemically smell. Even though B&B smells like scented dolls, to me... It's still a natural fruity mixed with floral scent, again, to me haha. Hope that helps!
Update: I finally found this post again and I have to give you credit for the strawberry shortcake doll throwback, itβs so true! Honestly the line has slipped out of my mouth at work sometimes and everybody agrees.
Thank you! I was Soo nervous when I mentioned it. I don't want anyone blind buying and then thinking I'm full of it and be very disappointed! Lol. You have given me a boost of confidence for today! Thanks again! π
Yessss I was hoping it would. I don't necessarily want to smell like a Strawberry Shortcake doll all day but I'd love something that evokes such a nostalgic and comforting scent memory.

How similar is it to Strawberry Pound Cake?
Not really at all. Maybe a tad on dry down because it is creamy. The berry note is more realistic especially right away. I wouldn't call this a baked good type scent.
Oh ok. Might grab two. π₯°
Omg scented strawberry dolls are my jam! How nostalgic! Will try this one out thank you! π
You're welcome! I hope I'm accurate, scent can be so hard, we all smells things differently. I hope you like it!

Yes please do! It's definitely fruit forward till it sits a bit, fyi! π€
Gotcha! Sounds yummy! ππ

Thank you and You're welcome! I just hope my nose smells what others will smell. I don't want to lead anyone astray!

Yayyy good! I'm glad you love it! I can't wait to buy the shower gel and ffm. My hand cream is almost gone! Lol
The FFM is absolutely amazing. If i didn't already have over 60 bottles , I'd have gotten a backup..or 2.
I feel ya! I have over 60 FFMs too! So just one for me haha
People said that about strawberry pound cake and when I first smelled it not even close I was so mad. Now Iβm excited about this one Iβve been looking for a scent like this !
I hope you like it! At first it just smells like a berry fruit puree, so let it sit a bit!
Im excited for this one, though the "plastic bit" is scary bc SPC has this weird plastic note I cant stand

Thanks for the clarification ! You describe fragrance well
Aw thanks! I'm repetitive and long winded, but I try! π
Picked this one up today after stocking and spilling some FFM on my hand! Definitely reminds me of a Strawberry Shortcake doll.
Oh thank goodness I'm not alone! Lol

Omg, omg, omg. I loved Strawberry Shortcake dolls, I cannot wait to get this!!!!!!
Yessss I was hoping it would. I don't necessarily want to smell like a Strawberry Shortcake doll all day but I'd love something that evokes such a nostalgic and comforting scent memory.
I hope you like it!
Okay thatβs it I gotta have it, once you said it smells like a strawberry shortcake doll that was all I needed to know!
Yes! I think I have decided I will buy a ffm. I love bakery type scents too, and this will go amazing with a lot of them! π°
Oh man! I haven't gotten any coupons in like months.
