No, Sabrina Carpenter’s new perfume is not “Espresso” flavored (but fingers crossed that the next one is). However, the singer’s latest beauty venture is inspired by another delicious treat: fresh cherries. Her third perfume launch with Scent Beauty was released this week, and it captures the singer’s fun energy and sultry vibe.
Cherry Baby is the newest addition to Carpenter’s Sweet Tooth collection which features the Sweet Tooth vanilla fragrance and gourmand Caramel Dream perfume. It’s meant to be the older sister of the group, continuing with the candy theme but with a refined, grown-up feel. Cherry Baby is just that: A cherry fragrance with notes of brown sugar, glazed apple, and dark chocolate, putting Carpenter’s twist on the ever-so-trendy cherry perfume.
The Inspiration
“I wanted my new fragrance to be unexpected but something upscale and sophisticated while still feeling playful and provocative,” said Carpenter of the launch. The singer is known for her NSFW outros and playful energy, and the perfume feels like an extension of the 25-year-old’s current era. “Cherry Baby is timeless and flirty which encourages letting the sultry, glamorous side of you show in the best way possible.”
While cherry scents often open with a burst of the bold fruit, they settle into the skin softly and pair well with other sweet notes like vanilla and amber. You could layer Cherry Baby with Carpenter’s other scents if you have them (they lean on the sweeter side), or wear it on its own.
The Fragrance
Cherry Baby opens up with notes of cherry cosmo, glazed apple, and plum nectar for a fruity, bright start. Brown sugar, red poppy, and peony blossom gives the fragrance a bit of a fresh, warm laundry scent that adds depth and complexity. Base notes of sweet dark chocolate, vanilla orchid, and cashmere wood ground the scent with warm, soft vibes. It’s the perfect flirty, night-out fragrance that’s ideal for drinks with friends or on a first date.
