Marissa Zappas Annabel's Birthday Cake is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2021, created by Marissa Zappas. Annabel's Birthday Cake opens with Sugar Cane, Lemon, and Heliotrope, settles into a heart of Cream, Cupcake, Rose, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Tonka Bean, and Honey. Marissa Zappas's Annabel's Birthday Cake carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as hell. If you're after a photorealistic cake gourmand, jog on. But if you fancy a bit of playful weirdness and a dash of latex with your lashings of sweet, powdery nostalgia, you might just find your new obsession. Definitely not a blind-buy.

Its sweet and powdery character, coupled with decent longevity, makes it less suited for formal or office settings where something lighter and less attention-grabbing is generally preferred. However, its unique and playful blend is perfect for casual outings and dates, evoking a sense of fun and approachability without being overtly juvenile.

About

Annabel's Birthday Cake kicks off with a bright, zesty lemon and that surprising, undeniably synthetic 'latex' note, quickly sweetened by heliotrope and sugar cane. The heart unfolds into a creamy, indulgent cupcake accord, softened by rose and opulent tuberose, preventing it from tipping into saccharine territory. A warm, comforting base of cacao, tonka bean, and honey rounds out the experience, settling into a delightfully complex and nostalgic dry down that clings to the skin.
