Sabrina Carpenter Perfume Scents: The Sweet Tooth Line Explained
Sabrina Carpenter’s fragrances all sit under one banner, Sweet Tooth, and all lean unapologetically sweet. The line began in 2022 with a partnership with Scent Beauty and has grown one dessert-themed scent at a time. Here is what each bottle actually contains, according to the brand’s own note lists, and how to choose between them.
How the Sweet Tooth line started
The first fragrance, Sweet Tooth, arrived in June 2022 as a discovery size sold through Scent Beauty, with full-size bottles reaching wider US retail that September. It was developed with the fragrance house Firmenich, and perfumer Gil Clavien, who has continued to work on later scents in the collection.
Carpenter explained the concept plainly at launch: “Creating my own fragrance has always been a dream. Everyone knows that I have a serious sweet tooth, which was the inspiration for the scent.” The bottle follows the theme too: a small faceted-glass shape modelled on a chocolate bar, finished in pink and rose gold.
The scents, one by one
Sweet Tooth (2022)
The original is a gourmand with a lighter opening than you might expect. The listed top notes are sparkling bergamot, candied ginger and chocolate marshmallow; the heart is jasmine petals, coconut milk and Madagascar vanilla; the base is cashmere wood, Chantilly cream and sugared musks. The ginger and bergamot keep the first few minutes from tipping straight into dessert.
Caramel Dream (2023)
Released in August 2023, Caramel Dream is the darker sibling. Its notes include caramelized amber, patchouli, dark chocolate bean, sugared lemon, orange zest, freesia, vanilla and a “fluffy” musk. The patchouli and amber give it more weight, which makes it the more natural choice for colder months or evenings. At its launch Carpenter described perfume as “an emotional extension of my music and personal world.”
Cherry Baby (2024)
The third scent, launched in July 2024, takes cherry as its hook. The note list is long: cherry cosmo, glazed apple, plum nectar, brown sugar, red poppy, peony blossom, dark chocolate, vanilla orchid, cashmere wood, musk, patchouli and amber resin. Carpenter said she wanted it to be “unexpected but something upscale and sophisticated while still feeling playful.” Fruit and florals sit on top, with chocolate and amber underneath.
Me Espresso (2024)
A limited-edition scent released in December 2024, its name a nod to her hit single “Espresso.” Coffee leads: espresso bean, cappuccino and cocoa powder, softened by night-blooming jasmine and vanilla orchid, then biscotti, caramel drizzle, sugared amber and whipped cream. Carpenter called it her “new staple and obsession.” Anyone who finds the other scents too sugary may get on best with this one, since the roasted coffee note cuts through the sweetness.
Lemon Pie (2026)
The newest addition, released in January 2026, swaps chocolate for citrus. Candied lemon, Italian bergamot and neroli open it; jasmine, orange blossom, violet and limoncello form the heart; digestive biscuit, vanilla whipped cream and tonka bean make up the base. Carpenter described it as “fun, happy, and a little nostalgic.”
In March 2026 the first four scents were also released as “bite size” minis in chocolate-bar-shaped bottles, using the same formulas as the full sizes. These are the easiest way to try the line before committing to a larger bottle.
Choosing between them
- For a lighter, daytime sweet scent: Sweet Tooth, thanks to its bergamot and ginger opening, or Lemon Pie if you prefer citrus to chocolate.
- For something warmer and heavier: Caramel Dream, with its amber and patchouli base.
- For fruit with some depth: Cherry Baby.
- If you usually find gourmands cloying: Me Espresso, where coffee and cocoa balance the sugar.
All of these are gourmands, so they share a vanilla-and-musk backbone. If you already own another vanilla-heavy perfume, compare them side by side on skin rather than on paper strips; the differences show most in the drydown after an hour or so.
Wearing a gourmand well
Sweet scents project more than people expect, particularly in warm weather or small rooms. One or two sprays on pulse points is usually plenty. Fragrance tends to hold better on moisturized skin, so applying after an unscented lotion helps. Avoid rubbing your wrists together, which mainly warms and smears the top notes. Store bottles away from heat and direct sunlight, which degrade perfume over time; a drawer is better than a sunny bathroom shelf.
