Fragrance notes
Character
Not A Cake is for the person who treats a night out as a chance to be the room’s center of gravity.

There is a specific kind of confidence required to wear a name like Not A Cake while smelling this much like the best part of a celebration, and the perfume rewards that energy with a profile that feels
