Cake Smash sounds amazing, and if I can't find anything impable that tickles my fancy that sounds like the route to go. Picks from all of these will probably take up at least six imps, heh. Thank you all for your (very quick, I was surprised!) suggestions!

Some years back, a friend of mine was wearing a buttercream scent — some body spray or lotion — that was absolutely delicious, and since then I've had this vague sense of wanting something I can wear that's sugary. Fast forward to now, and I have eight BPAL imps that have already made me love this brand. My problem? I've tried two sugary scents now, and they were terribly, awfully wrong. (I've tried sugar scents from a few other brands, too, which I was also very disappointed in.) So before I try anything else in my search for a deliciously sweet smell, I thought I'd ask some experts, or at least folks with more experience in perfumes than myself. A bit of information: the scents I've tried are Satyr, Harlot, Aizen-Myoo, Loup Garou, Gluttony, Queen, Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo, and Mata Hari. Satyr, Harlot, and Aizen-Myoo are my loves, and I'll likely be buying full-size bottles of them when I can (after trying some more samples). Loup Garou and Queen are nice and quite likable, but not really what I want to wear. Mata Hari was all right, but the smell of coffee in it put me off it. I didn't like Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo, and in spite of my high hopes, I hated Gluttony so much I ran to the sink to wash it off. The Joy Mojo and Gluttony both smelled bitter to me, and I think the caramel/toffee bits of them hit me unpleasantly too (since I don't like eating either). I'm a big chocolate fan, especially dark chocolate, thought that's not exactly what I'm looking for — but I wouldn't be opposed to something sugary with a chocolate tone to it. I'm eying Bliss a little but I'm not sure about it now that I've tried Gluttony. I also don't like coffee, and Mata Hari suggests that even a little scent of it might be bad for me. So I don't necessarily need buttercream, but I know I want something that smells — well, maybe the best way to put it is cake-like. That kind of sugary goodness. Spicy scents or even a slight powdery or floral scent might not be a bad thing, and I suppose that even though I just said cake-like I don't really want to smell like I've been rolled in frosting. So, I know that's a lot of info and a lot of "not this, not this, maybe that" but I'm really hoping someone might have an idea for me! (I'm also hoping it's not just the way anything sugary turns out on me in particular. That would be crushing!) Thanks for reading, and for any help you might provide in advance!
