What does Sugar Addict smell like?

Sugar, vanilla absolute and cocoa absolute lead the scent, while coffee and rum deepen the sweetness and cinnamon adds a spicy warmth. Tonka bean and labdanum absolute build a creamy, faintly smoky base, and cashmere wood gives it a woody frame.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards night-out and evening wear. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably between the two. The Dua Brand Blissful Sugar and Initio Side Effect have a close profile.
