After reading the description, it makes sense that it would smell like what u described (ugh). The description is contradicting....it says...The base of this blend is a buttery cutout cookie, with a sweet frosting...then it says....Even if you do not like "bakery" scents, you just need to smell it... name it something else! I didn't know this was a "cookie" scent until after reading the description. And a "nosegasm" ?? Um, ok. Sweet Tooth Soap-N-Candles formulation Oh we HAD to get this, the second we sampled it! You probably won't be able to get any work done because you have your nose glued to the bottle, it's that good! The base of this blend is a buttery cutout cookie, with a sweet frosting. But there is so much more! Candied cherries and fruits, along with frosting sprinkles and powdered sugar, make for a nosegasm! Even if you do not like "bakery" scents, you just need to smell it... name it something else! I didn't know this was a "cookie" scent until after reading the description, all mom and I knew was that it was so darned good we were going to buy it!
