Miami Shake

“A little plasticky and medicinal (literally like Calpol!) but still fun. The opening is very synthetic but it dries down to a playful berry anchored by a little vanilla. The scent really doesn’t feel any more complex than this though, which makes it hard to justify the price! But overall, this scent really evokes a Y2K-early 2010s girly vibe. Lasts reasonably well but ironically, I think it would be too cloying for Miami summer heat.”

“Smells exactly like YSL lip gloss used to (I'm not sure which one), which was unexpected, but I adored the smell of the lip gloss so it was a pleasant surprise. It only started to smell like that once settled into my skin - in the opening, it smelled very much like a super-sweet strawberry ice cream. Though the opening was nice, I much prefer the sweet and powdery berries and makeup smell. Longevity is meh --> 2-3 hours. Silage is intimate once settled into the skin.”

“Miami Shake has a plasticky opening but I kinda love it? Maybe it's because of the nostalgia it brings as it reminds me of when I would play with Barbie and Bratz dolls in my pink room growing up. It also smells like those strawberry scented lipglosses you would get for like $1 as a kid. You definitely have to have some kind of emotional attachment to enjoy this fragrance or else it will just fall flat. I will say though: it is quite long lasting on the skin if you're looking for a sweet fragrance that lasts.”
