I did not expect to like this perfume first of all because the bottle looks like a toy to me. I do not like the design at all but what can you do? Mariah is known to love butterflies and girly colors so it makes sense for it to look this way. I did not like the scent of the perfume when sprayed. It smelled too sweet and not like something I would wear at all. Once settled and dried it definitely became more complex than just being sweet. It is just one of those perfumes that you have to wear for a while to really get a sense of how it will smell on you specifically. It's cheap and I believe it is worth trying. Just wish I could dump it into a more mature bottle! LOL.

OMG the packaging is to die for! love it! & the scent is gorgeous, not the absolute BEST I've ever smelt, but still pretty lovely. Sweet, sensuous & long lasting. Sophisticated yet not grandma nor tweenish. Really like this one.

This is my all time fav perfume. I swear it's like laying on a Tahiti beach at sunset. It's warm, sexy, glam, and beachy. It's not for everybody, but it's my dream scent for sure! <3

I went to a perfume party recently andall the others girls seemed to love this, and I really couldn't understand why....and then I asked someone who smelled heavenly what they were wearing and it was this! I have tried the tester before and it is just so blah on me. really nothing. but on this person it was just divine! so if you have the right chemistry, this will probably be gorgeous on you, but I will never wear it again, because there are too many nice perfumes out there!

I asked for this last year for my birthday, so I've had it a while, and I have hardly used it. I guess it's just too sweet for me. Something about it almost gives me a headache, but not quite. I feel sort of suffocated when I wear this. It does smell good on other people, so I'm swapping my bottle.

This is a gorgeous scent that I've recieved many compliments on. I'm not into the cutesy candy sort of scents, so I was really happy when a celebrity FINALLY came out with something original and not all sweetness candy and rainbows.


First of all, the bottle is beautiful! The lid can make it a PITA to carry around but in all honesty, the scent is so long-lasting that I never need to respray throughout the day, so there's no need to carry it around anyway. The juice itself has top notes of marshmallow and sea breeze accord, a heart of Living Tahitian Tiare and gardenia and a drydown of sheer amber, patchouli and Moroccan incense. It's such a warm, sensual scent...I love it. Great for the colder months. On me, I mainly get the marshmallow, amber and moroccan incense which makes a mouth-watering mix. I cannot stop smelling myself when I have this on! It's really sexy...I always imagine bare-foot on a beach in the Caribbean when wearing this. 1 spritz is all I need as it's a very strong fragrance. Anymore would be overwhelming.


This is my HG scent for the colder months. It's fine for summer too but I have to be careful as it can be a bit headache-inducing in hot weather.

I really don't care for musks and heavy oriental fragrance kind because I'm more of a floral and clean scents kind of girl. That being said, I really like M. It smells like a warm peppery vanilla that is perfect for the colder months. This being the third Mariah Carey fragrance that I have tried (thank you MUA!), I am shocked to be as deeply impressed by this fragrance as I am.The staying power of this perfume is phenomenal and much better than Mariah's other fragrances.I would probably repurchase again.

HOLY CRAP this is sweet. It makes Pink Sugar seem like Chanel No. 19!

I got this fragrance last year for Christmas, and I really liked it! I'm not into the whole celeb "wanna smell like me I'm so great" thing, but this I liked. I actually used it till it was gone...which I never do with fragrances, and I always got compliments while wearing it.

I like this perfume but I heard that it was supposed to smell like marshmallows? and insense? I didn't get any of that stuff when I smelled this perfume. Well, I got a tiny bit of marshmallow but it wasn't enough to satisfy me. This is a decent perfume to me but I wouldn't recommend it.

Marshmellow and Moroccan incense~this is exactly what it smells like! It's sexy. It's the perfect all year long scent. It smells like a hot toasty summer night and warm marshmellows. My fav perfume ever! xo

I bought this because I've been a Mariah fan since I was a little girl. She hit a homerun with this debut fragrance. It's a unique warm and comforting scent perfect for winter that stays with you. Notes of marshmallow and Moroccan incense. Mariah's best perfume thus far. Save your money on the deluxe version though; this scent doesn't need to be concentrated and I found the deluxe to be overpowering and headache inducing.

I bought this with the matching lotion at TJ Maxx today for only $13. I had never sniffed it before, but read reviews here, & thought "$13 can't hurt too much, even if I end up hating it". With that being said; I do not regret this purchase.

For starters I should point out that I love sweet scents. Pink Sugar is the creme de la creme in my world of fragrance favorites. I even buy custom blends of it. So when I opened M & spritzed it on, I was a initially disappointed that it wasn't a super foody sweet scent. In fact, it reminded me a lot of Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy. Which although is nice, I have a full bottle on my dresser that I rarely reach for.

M is a very clean, powdery, feminine, slightly sweet scent. Within hours, this scent grew on me. Suddenly with a whiff, it reminded me specifically of one of my favorite places in the world. Home. It reminded me of rainy mornings in beautiful Flemington, New Jersey. (Forget what you see on trashy reality television, some parts of New Jersey are the nicest, most prestigious, in the country. Flemington is no exception.) Although P.S always brings me back memories of sippin' white mocha frappuccinos at my favorite vacation spot, nothing compares to the comfort level M brings me. Call me a sentimental nutball, but I will buy this fragrance for the rest of my life if it means no longer being homesick. ;)

Closing comment - the lasting power is magnificent.

This is a VERY strong, overwhelming fragrance. I spritz is all that's needed. Lasts *all* day, seriously. The smell is somewhat powdery and sweet, yet musky at the same time. I get lots of compliments from both men and women when I wear this, however, it's too strong for me.

While I loved the bottle, THE PERFUME INSIDE IT WAS DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smelled WAY too powdery. Ick-I'm getting memories. *shudder* I HATE powdery scents-they're just, blech. And I didn't even detect a single other note that I liked. Just this sickening powder smell. Wanted to puke when I wore it!!!!!!

I thought I liked this enough to buy it. I had a sample and it smelled like Hanae Mori Butterfly to me (which I love). Upon owning a whole bottle though, I quickly realized this was a non-laster and totally depthless. It's quite nice (sweet, marshmellowly, something-else) when you first apply but all that quickly goes away. I also have the body lotion which is hideous, it seems to take all the notes from M I didn't like and and leave out the few that I did. M is boring. You'd be better off with Fantasy or Pink Sugar, if you're looking for "that kinda thing.".

One of my fav perfumes ever! It has a beautiful sexy subtle tropical-ness to it which I love. It's not fruity or too foody scented, it smells like a warm summer night and marshmellows if you can imagine that lol :)

I love Mariah, butterflies, and the color purple too so I love the bottle. I can see how some call it childish though. It's girly and fun!

OMG what a beautiful fragrance!!! Got this today, 50 ml edp spray for $20.00, what a deal!!! Had tested it before but decided to wait until it goes on sale as celebrity fragranceds tend to do! Loving this, I can see myself loving this as much as Fantasy!~!! Maybe even more! Sprayed this on and it softens to a lovely ambery smell with hints of marshmallow but not overly sweet, very well balanced fragrance. I had gotten a compliment on it once when i tested it in the summer from a man.....i can see men going crazy over this one!! Bottle is lovely too, with heavy sort of glass, giving it an expensive feel to it. Well done Mariah!!!
