My Experience Decoding Doja Cat’s Perfume Smell
So I’ve had Doja Cat’s perfume bottle sitting on my vanity for weeks. Kept spraying it before going out but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what I was smelling beyond “kinda sweet… but spicy?” Felt like my nose was broken.
Today I decided to finally put on my detective hat and figure this scent out properly. Grabbed three coffee beans first – sniffed them real hard to reset my schnozz like I saw perfumers do. Then sprayed the perfume on three test strips instead of my wrist so I could smell the changes over time without my skin messing with it.
The first sniff slapped me with a fizzy explosion. Like opening a cold Fanta soda? Citrusy but in a weird way – reminded me of crushed pink peppercorns from my spice rack mixed with cranberry juice. Made my tongue tingle like I’d eaten sour candy. Lasted about 10 minutes before fading.
Next phase suddenly got creamy. Stuck my nose back in and went “whoa”. Like someone melted vanilla ice cream over warm sandalwood planks. Also caught whiffs of that coconut sunscreen smell from beach vacations. Lasted longest – maybe 2 hours. Comforting but not boring.
The final dry down went dark and cozy. Heavy amber crawled out like when you light those expensive scented candles. Got sweeter too but more like burnt caramel than sugar. And underneath it all, this musky skin-smell crept in like when you hug someone wearing a leather jacket.
My smell notes breakdown ended up like this:
- Opening: Pink pepper + cranberry soda fizz
- Middle: Melted ice cream + coconut lotion
- Base: Burnt sugar + warm skin + fancy candle
Totally get now why people say it’s sexy and playful. It’s like that friend who shows up looking all cute in pastels then whips out fireball shots. Learned my lesson too – should’ve coffee-beaned my nose sooner!
