A bright, shiny, ice-cream soda scent.
"One of my favourite vintage 1950s scents was Coty's Chantilly, named after the French town famous for its whipped cream and intricate lace. It's a soft strawberry and cream perfume, decorated with crystalised rose. For New York 1955, I transported the desert theme over the Atlantic to a New York milk bar, turned up the volume, piled it with vanilla ice cream and raspberries, loaded it with candy floss, crystalised roses and violets, and smoothed it with soft, huggable musks and ambergris." ~ Sarah McCartney
Notes: Candy floss, raspberry, rose, violet, vanilla, musk

It's Friday. You've been working hard all week, but still have one more day to go. Your hands clutch the steering wheel, knuckles white, as you stare at the never-ending sea of traffic on the Belt Parkway, the cacophony of honking horns ringing in your ears. Then, suddenly, as if by magic, Sarah McCartney takes you by the hand and transports you from the madness to Coney Island.
You find yourself strolling the boardwalk. You hear the waves of the Atlantic lapping in the distance. Cotton candy in hand, you stroll to the Parachute Jump; you feel the wind in your hair. Time stands still as you breathe in the sweet raspberry floss, the soft and delicate flowers, and the creaminess of the vanilla and somehow everything seems right with the world.
Top note is cotton candy; middle notes are raspberry, rose and violet; base notes are vanilla and musk.

Powdery violet pastilles candies and delicate, girly, pink roses dipped in powdered sugar. A bit of a clean white musk and only the smallest hint of raspberry. This is more of a sweet, sugared floral than a cotton candy scent on me. After a half hour, it's sweet violet and rose candy with a powdery, vanilla and white musk finish. Turns too baby powdery for me over time, but I do like this. It's sweet, innocent and cheerful.
