My Admiration
My Admiration is a fruity gourmand built around red berries, raspberry, apple and tart rhubarb, softened by spun sugar and warmed with saffron. It reads sweet, bright and modern, with a green edge that keeps the candy-like side from feeling completely syrupy. The dry-down brings cedar, moss, sandalwood, ambergris and musk, giving the fruit a warmer, woodier base. Sample first if you.

The performance evidence is small, but the available votes point toward long-lasting wear and strong sillage. Because the scent combines sweet fruit, saffron, woods, ambergris and musk, it may feel more noticeable than the note list first suggests. A lighter spray routine is sensible for close indoor settings.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“My Admiration Perfume Cult Review”
My Admiration by Perfume Cult is a 2023 Floral Fruity Gourmand created by Shadi Samra. It is built for someone who likes fruit with sweetness, but also wants a little texture around it. The opening is the clearest part of the fragrance: red fruits, raspberry and red apple come forward quickly, with orange adding brightness and rhubarb giving the sweetness a tart, green snap.
That rhubarb note matters. Without it, My Admiration could easily sit in familiar berry candy territory. Instead, the opening has a sweet-sour feel, juicy but slightly sharp, and that makes the fragrance more lively than a simple cotton candy fruit scent. It still leans sweet, so anyone who dislikes sugary fruity perfumes should be careful, but the green accord gives it some lift.
The heart moves into spun sugar, saffron, mint, jasmine and cedar. The spun sugar brings the gourmand side, while saffron warms the composition and gives it a lightly spicy, golden feel. Mint is listed, but this is not best understood as a minty fresh scent. It is more of a cooling aromatic detail around the sweeter fruit and spice. Jasmine adds a soft floral trace rather than turning the perfume into a white floral bouquet.
As it dries down, cedar appears again beside sandalwood, moss, ambergris and musk. This base keeps My Admiration from disappearing into pure fruit syrup. The woods and moss give it a drier, slightly earthy frame, while musk and ambergris help the scent feel smooth and diffusive. The result is still modern and sweet, but with enough green, woody and warm facets to give it a more dressed-up profile.
Performance feedback is limited, so it should be handled carefully. The available votes point to long-lasting wear and strong sillage, which fits the style of a sweet fruity gourmand with saffron, ambergris and musk. In practical terms, it may be better with controlled spraying, especially indoors or in warm weather.
The strongest fit is a wearer who enjoys noticeable fruity gourmands, especially red fruit, raspberry, rhubarb and cotton candy effects. It can work in cooler months, evenings, dates, social settings and days when you want something sweet but not flat. It is less likely to please someone looking for a dry woody fragrance, a transparent fresh scent, or a quiet office perfume.
The main caution is value and taste. The small price feedback available leans overpriced, and there are no supplied written reviews to explain why. For that reason, My Admiration is better sampled first unless the note list already sounds like your exact style: tart red fruit, spun sugar, saffron, mossy woods and a musky ambergris base.
FAQs
What does My Admiration by Perfume Cult smell like?+
My Admiration smells like sweet red fruits, raspberry and apple with a tart rhubarb lift, followed by spun sugar, saffron and a warmer woody musky base. It is fruity and sweet first, then greener, spicier and woodier as it settles.
Is My Admiration more fruity or gourmand?+
It is both, but the fruity side is the clearest first impression. The gourmand effect comes from spun sugar and the brand's cotton candy style, while rhubarb, mint, moss and woods keep it from being only candy-sweet.
Is My Admiration a women's fragrance?+
The fragrance is presented as a women's Floral Fruity Gourmand, and the available gender feedback leans female. One small set of votes also suggests some wearers may find it wearable beyond a strictly feminine profile.
When was My Admiration launched?+
My Admiration by Perfume Cult was launched in 2023.
Who created My Admiration?+
The perfumer listed for My Admiration is Shadi Samra.
How long does My Admiration last?+
The available performance votes are limited, but they point toward long-lasting wear. Treat that as an early signal rather than a guarantee, since skin chemistry, spray amount and weather can change how long it stays noticeable.
Does My Admiration project strongly?+
The small amount of sillage feedback available marks it as strong. If you prefer quiet skin scents, start with a light application and test it in your own routine before wearing it in close settings.
What seasons suit My Admiration best?+
The available seasonal votes lean toward winter and fall, with some spring interest. That makes sense for a sweet fruity scent with saffron, amber, musk and woods, though the tart fruit and green facets can also help it feel lively in milder weather.
Is My Admiration good for night wear?+
It can suit evening wear if you like sweet, fruity and warm fragrances with noticeable presence. The night votes are limited, so it is better read as a possible fit than a confirmed nightlife fragrance.
Is My Admiration a safe blind buy?+
It is safest for someone who already enjoys sweet red fruit, cotton candy effects, saffron warmth and modern fruity gourmands. If rhubarb tartness, strong sweetness or assertive projection can bother you, sampling first is the better choice.
