Bubblegum scent

post #1 of 20

Thread Starter 
I'm currently looking for a fragrance that smells like bubblegums. To make it clear, I want a really sweet, fruity and semi warm fragrance. One Million in the opening and Diesel OTB Tattoo in the opening is just what I'm looking for, unfortunately the leather note which you can find in One Million and the tobacco note that you can find in Tattoo is nasty, awful, just not my cup of tea. Another thing I cant stand is scents with a prominent Musk note. I hate musk, leather, tobacco, pepper, patch and things like that. I don't hate woody notes, but I prefer fragrances without them.

So, I'm looking for a sugary sweet and fruity scent that smells like the opening of One Million and Diesel Only The Brave Tattoo. Apple, Pineapple, Pear, oooh yeeeah. That's what I'm craving.

Do you got what I'm looking for? Comment!

Encens and bubblegum does indeed smell as the name suggests, and it's excellent. However, I was under the impression that Mike was thinking about a truly cloying thing. For which, one only has to move to the female counter to find countless examples (starting from the latest gaga thing, and further downhill).

Caron Anarchiste has a prominent apple note, but i don't remember how it evolves in the drydown.

I thought I would enjoy it but I did not. Recently sold my bottle. It was a fruity incense, that somewhat resembled pink bubblegum.

Everyone says that 1 Million smells gummy.

there are 2 scents for you:

1. 100% feminine scent to me, and many say it reminds them of bubblegum, personaly bubblegum smell is cheap to me so its not like that to me but is very very nice and unique scent SACREBLEU


2. scent of ripe exotic fruits!! flesh of the ripe juicy fruit and another 200% feminine scent...Byredo PULP

hehe they dont smell either of apples so its not what you look for but it goes well with the name of the topic

PR One Million and V&R Spicebomb come to mind. I get a bubblegum vibe from both although it is strong in One Million.

Seconding Ck One Shock and One Million among others.

Also, further scents I associate with a bubblegum note, in a positive and pleasant way, are (to my nose): Sculpture by Nikos, Boss Bottled, L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme (the regular version, unsure whether the Extreme version is even more candy-like, dessert-style gourmand and sugary), Joop! Homme, A*Men Pure Shot, vintage Gucci Envy for Men (heavier on the mint-like notes,9 lighter on the ginger ones), Paco Energy, Cerutti 1881 Black, Versace Blue Jeans.
