Today I have a couple of Daiso (Daiso are these stores in Australia where everything is only $2.80 and also they have stores all over the world) solid fragrances to show you all~ First of all, these little pots come in four scents- "Rose", "Strawberry Shotcake", "Muscat Grape" and "Vanilla Icecream" but I only decided to pick up Strawberry Shortcake and Vanilla Icecream.

Ice-cream is one of my favourite foods so just I had to pick this one up and who doesn't want to smell like ice-cream?
In my opinion this fragrance smells nothing like vanilla icecream at all. I was expecting a sweet milky vanilla scent but I didn't really like the scent at all. To me it smelt like one of those Ice-cream Chupa Chups lollypops (correct if I'm wrong, that was not my favourite flavour so I haven't ate/smelt one for years). As I mentioned before, I was (and still am) not a fan of the Ice-cream Chupa Chups so while the scent wasn't unplesant I didn't really like how it smelt.
I would give Daiso's Vanilla Icecream solid fragrance a 5/10 as it was ok but not unplesant.
Strawberry Shortcake
After the Vanilla Icecream fragrance I wasn't expecting much from Strawberry Shortcake and sadly, I was right... While the Vanilla Icecream fragrance smelt ok, I found the scent of Strawberry Shortcake to be terrible. I was expecting it to smell like a vanilla cake with strawberries and cream but it had a very artificial strawberry scent (and not a pleasant one like lip smackers either). The strawberry in this scent smelt kind of sour to me which I found rather odd for something that was Strawberry Shortcake scented. My biggest disappointment would be that the scent had no cake smell whatsoever (smelling like a cake shop would be so lovely don't you agree?) and I think it should have been called a Strawberry fragrance rather than Strawberry Shortcake.
I would give Daiso's Strawberry Shortcake solid fragrance a 0/10 as it smelt horrible to me.
Overall
For $2.80 I was not expecting the solid fragrances to be amazing or anything but at the same time I didn't expect them to be bad. I was simply expecting plesant artificial smelling fragrances but that was not what I got so I won't be buying any more fragrances from this line of Daiso's solid perfumes as I found these two to be unwearable.
Hope to see you again~

UPDATE: I've been using them for a little longer now so I'm going to post an update on it. Firstly, the scent did not last long on my skin but what do you expect? It was only $2.80. Since I've gotten a little used to the scent I don't think it was as unplesant as I first thought but I still don't enjoy the scent. Another thing I did not write in my original review, this fragrance leaves an oily residue on my skin which I am not a fan of since I have oily/combination skin so be wary of that. If you do buy it, I recommend you use it in autumn/winter as it can get quite sticky and unplesant in warmer weather.
