What wearers say
“To me, this perfume smells like fruity jelly candies with vodka. It's very similar to Yara Candy, so I wouldn't buy it, I don't see the point in having almost identical scents. Otherwise, it's long-lasting and great for summer.”
“Its a youthful and effervescent fragrance that gets the job done by being simple, sweet and a lil tart. The opening smells like dry shampoo (says the bald man*) with a prominent note of alcohol and a backdrop of tart berries and citrusy tang. The opening can also read a bit pink peppery at times. As it dries down it becomes sweeter and the strawberry, musk and amber become heavy players. Its simple but effective. Lasts about 5 hours.”
“To me, this doesn’t capture the original as closely as I’d hoped. Pink Boa leans more like a sharp, fruity, fizzy pink lemonade, while Vulcan Baie comes across more as a strawberry milkshake. It’s still a pleasant fragrance in its own right, but if you’re searching for a true 1:1 clone, this isn’t it. Longevity and projection are both fairly average, quite disappointing but I’ve only had it for 2 days so I’ll let it sit and see if any changes occur.”
