Description
As playful as it is provocative, Annabell’s Birthday Cake juxtaposes latex and sugar in a bold opening before indulging in frosted cupcake accords, rose petals, and creamy tuberose. Anchored by honeycomb, cacao pod, and tonka bean, this scent celebrates identity, nostalgia, and the joy of unapologetic sweetness with a wink of avant-garde irreverence.
