Smell Sweet and Soft With These 5 Dessert-inspired Beauty Products Smell like vanilla, coconut, and caramel with these beauty products that combine dessert-inspired scents with real skincare and haircare benefits.

There’s something about using a beauty product that smells like dessert that instantly lifts your mood, makes you smell like a snack, and gets you compliments. Like they say, smelling good starts in the shower, and there’s no reason why your products can’t do double duty by making your skin and hair feel amazing, and making you smell like cake, custard, or a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

If you love sweet scents and want products that nourish your skin and hair without smelling cheap or artificial, here are some dessert-scented beauty products that not only smell divine but genuinely work well.

1. Lush Super Milk Conditioning Hair Primer This Lush leave-in hair conditioner smells just like vanilla and coconut, almost like a custard dessert straight out of the oven. It’s dairy-free (yes, your hair is going vegan too), with almond, oat, and coconut milk that help to soften, hydrate, and calm the scalp. It also uses olive oil to seal in moisture.

Even as a hair conditioner, its scent is strong enough to get noticed. You can reach for this especially on days when you’ll be giving people hugs, because all they’ll be smelling as they hug you is Crème brûlée. 

You can use it in multiple ways: after washing to help detangle, before heat-styling as protection, or to refresh curls on a dry day.

It also works as a leave-in conditioner, and if you use the L.O.C method (Liquid, Oil, Cream) for your hair, this spray can be your “L”. It’s light enough not to weigh your hair down, but rich enough to keep your strands soft, defined, and moisturised. Price: $23. Where To Buy: Shop Lush .

Made with real sugar, shea butter, and oils like coconut, pineapple, and sweet almond, this body scrub clears off dead skin cells from your skin and leaves behind a tropical scent. This Coco Colada scrub smells like a piña colada or a coconut and pineapple sorbet.

What makes it even better is the way it quickly absorbs into the skin, which is just what you need if you hate that sticky lotion feel.

5. The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter A classic that’s stood the test of time, this body butter has a soft coconut scent that smells like fresh coconut cream and chocolate .

Its scent is strong, fills the room, and will get you comments like “what smells like chocolate in here?”

It’s made with shea butter, coconut oil , and babassu oil, which are all nourishing ingredients that soften and protect the skin from dryness. Price: ₦14,700 – ₦40,000. Where To Buy: Shop The Body Shop .

When it comes to beauty, there’s no reason to choose between smelling good and getting real results. If you’re the type of person who wants to step out of the shower already smelling like a whole dessert tray, these beauty products are worth the hype.
