What We Think
It's easy to see why BTSO is marketing this as a layering scent- the powerful (but never cloying) sugar sweetness adds a delightful gourmand element to almost any scent you can imagine. But Sugar Addict also boasts surprisingly subtle touches of spicy, bitter, and boozy/fruity notes that make it more than compelling enough on its own.

REVIEWS

Fragrantica - This truly live up to its name for me as it became quite addicting! The vanilla, rum, coffee and cinnamon is dancing on my skin with this one!

Fragrantica - Wow. I'm loving this....Smells sexy and delicious.

Fragrantica - I bought this while in Rome. As soon as I smelled it I had to have it! It's extremely sweet, thick, rich and yummy! It's nuclear and lasts even overnight.

Fragrantica - this has an addictive quality to it. Creamy almonds, vanilla, caramelized sugar, saffron and a warm, rum-like booziness. Compliment getter!

Fragrantica - I really like it, it's boozy and sweet, a bit heavy but that's a plus for me :)

Fragrantica - Warm and spicy sweet gourmand, with notes of caramel and chocolate. This smells like an elegant night out. It's boozy and luxurious and oh so sweet. You will smell good enough to eat.

Fragrantica - I absolutely love this; I only tried it once before I became addicted to it immediately (which is funny because initial reaction was...meh. But then it grew on me. And grew!)

Fragrantica - This is such a beautiful fragrance. I know everyone's noses interpret fragrances differently but this is one of my top 10 for life perfumes. It also lasts so long.

Fragrantica - this is an ultra sweet sugar dusted vanilla scent elevated by a smooth rum, warm cinnamon and creamy cashmere. The tonka bean adds some creaminess here and the coffee is only slightly noticeable, a background note of roasted coffee beans. I don't really get any labdanum which is a good thing bc I typically don't enjoy it, it's mostly just a spicy and warm vanilla with booziness and creamy accords. I do think the name may be a tad bit misleading bc there's more than just sugar here, it's very warm and spiced and even slightly woody.

Fragrantica - Smells like a sweeter version of Angel's Share. Slightly scorched sugar and caramel, with boozy notes.  Beast mode performance

Fragrantica - Torched sugar + a dusting of cocoa and cinnamon. A really great mixer but just as beautiful on its own.

Fragrantica - I straight up LIVE to smell like a big sugar lump that's been dunked in cinnamon and drizzled with caramel and hit with a torch. This is that. And I am happy.

My absolute favorite gourmand in the world is A Whiff of Waffle Cone (both editions). Sugar Addict is very, very similar to the 2nd edition of Waffle Cone - so much so that you probably don't need both unless you're like me and you have an insatiable sweet tooth. Waffle cone is a little warmer and toastier while Sugar Addict is a tiny bit more cinnamony and sugar dusted. Both give the exact same vibe, though. I love this. A lot.

Fragrantica - Finally got this one in. It is warm. Sweet. Woody. Powdered sugar. Simple yet hard to explain. I love it. Absolutely back up bottle worthy

Fragrantica - I absolutely adore this. I cannot put it down. It is very sugary sweet, but almost in a dry way. There is certainly no creaminess to this fragrance. The cinnamon gives it a wonderful warmth to the sugary sweetness. The rum is there to give it depth, but it's a sugary rum, not boozy to my nose. The labdanum gives it such an interesting depth as well. I personally don't really smell vanilla as a main note/accord. Both myself and my partner get a Xerjoff La Capital vibe from this, minus the fruit and add a ton of sugar. I think it's the labdanum and vanilla that bring the comparison to mind. Anyway, this was a blind buy that is a major love love LOVE for me!

Fragrantica - I am in love with this. I layered it today with Libre Parfum and Kayali Sweet Pepper. It warmed up my combo to make it boozy and sweeter.

Fragrantica - Warm white sugar and soft spice! The best sugary vanilla scent ever hands down!

Fragrantica - A very sweet white sugary confection. Definitely for gourmand lovers. Although, it is marketed as a "fragrance sweetener" to add a boost of sweet notes to other fragrances by layering, it smells great as a standalone. Might be too sweet and one dimensional for some. The spice, rum, cacao notes are really gentle and become more prominent in the drydown. Reminds me of a less dense version of Escapade Gourmand-- less of a burnt sugar crust.
