Im gonna start by saying the formula is amazing, I have a few kikiz glosses and LOVE them. So, recently I've been super obsessed with cotton candy like its literally everything to me right now, which is why I bought this gloss. But as an uncertified cotton candy connoisseur, this is not cotton candy. It could be, like a very obscure cotton candy scent, but its just off. This waa honestly the reason I bought it, so Im pretty disappointed :( Though I have noticed some of the scents that kiki uses for her glosses smell similar or off putting. I wished something changed after my last purchase 3 years ago, it seems not. BUT of course kiki is SOO iconic, the packaging, the gloss container, the colors the formula. Literally everything else is as wonderful as always.
