Okay, But What Does Yum Boujee Marshmallow Actually Smell Like?

Strawberry and marshmallow are the stars here.

The strawberry is sweet and candy-like rather than fresh or tart, while pink marshmallow gives the fragrance its soft, sugary feel. Whipped vanilla and coconut make it creamier, with raspberry sugar adding even more fruity sweetness.

There are florals in the mix too. Freesia, nectarine blossom, and orange blossom, but this doesn't smell like a traditional floral perfume. And while the marshmallow and musk can give it a slight powdery quality, we're still very firmly in strawberry-dessert territory.

Think strawberry marshmallow meets whipped vanilla, not a plain bag of marshmallows.

Is Yum Boujee Marshmallow Very Sweet?

Yes. Yum Boujee Marshmallow is a very sweet perfume.

Marshmallow. Strawberry. Whipped vanilla. Raspberry sugar. Coconut. The note list was not exactly leaving room for ambiguity.

But there's a difference between sweet and heavy. Yum Boujee Marshmallow has an airy quality that can make all that sugar feel lighter and softer than a dense caramel or vanilla gourmand.

So yes, you're getting dessert. Just a fluffier one.

Why Does Yum Boujee Marshmallow Smell So Fluffy?

Yum Boujee Marshmallow can smell "fluffy" because its sweetness feels light, airy, creamy, and soft rather than dense or syrupy.

Obviously, perfume doesn't have an actual texture. But certain combinations of fragrance notes can create the impression of one. Pink marshmallow, whipped vanilla, musk, coconut, and fruit all contribute to that soft, airy effect here.

And, there's actually a lot more happening behind the word fluffy than you might think. We break it down in [What Makes a Perfume Smell "Fluffy"?]
