Speedy Review: Easy Bake Intense edp, by Huda Beauty.

 This floral gourmand fragrance rich, s#xy, and unapologetically intense. It wears all day with an addictive trail.

Juicy wild cherry opens the scent, deepening into s#xy white florals layered with warm, spiced cinnamon bark and creamy caramel milk, before melting into a rich, addictive vanilla bourbon base.

Inspired by the signature Easy Bake Loose Powder scent, now intensified. This fragrance transforms icon into a rich scent experience… the final step of glam, bottled.

I love the le Easy Bake perfume that Huda Beauty released in 2024, so I couldn't wait for this to launch

 so I could test it to find out if it is even half as good - just  reaching the halfway mark will be good enough for a place on my wishlist...

The cherry note is on the sharper side and it lasts for the whole wear of the fragrance. I think that there are berries underneath the cherry and orange blossom, but they are too subtle for me to separate. 

The white floral blend is quiet and adds to the creamy & sweet undertone to the fragrance on me. I can clearly tuberose & jasmine, like is in the original Easy Bake, so I'm going to guess that the less easy to identify florals are also ones that are in the original - I'm leaning towards gardenia & heliotrope. As the fruit & florals become quieter, the cinnamon and the vanilla bourbon get more room to develop and the combination toughens up the fragrance, adding warmth, depth and strength to the creamy sandalwood, caramel and milky accord.

The longevity and projection are both as good as the original Easy Bake perfume; get around the eight hour mark for average weartime, and a moderate projection. 

Officially listed scent notes: Wild Cherry, White Flower, Cinnamon Bark, Caramel Milk and Vanilla Bourbon. 

Easy Bake Intense has been added to my wishlist for sure - the fragrance has a great mix of familiarity, and newness & is just 'happy'. Once I've used up a couple of almost empty fragrances, I can consider picking up this.

The base gives the fragrance a cozy, baked yumminess feel, so this definitely suits the name - I'm a fan of the Easy Bake powder, but I struggle to detect the fragrance on it, so I can't comment  on how similar it is. 

Easy Bake Intense is sold in Sephora, Selfridges, Boots and Lookfantastic; a 50ml bottle is £70, and a 10ml perfume pen is available for £26.
