A Sweet Affair: Discovering Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees

There are perfumes that smell luxurious, perfumes that smell floral — and then there are gourmand perfumes that aim to capture the very essence of dessert. Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees is one such fragrance: it promises to evoke the creamy, sugary, fruity delight of strawberry cheesecake, bottled. For lovers of sweet, playful scents, it’s an intriguing pick. In this article, I’ll take you through its scent profile, performance, my personal experience, comparisons, tips, and common FAQs.

What Is Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees?

Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees is a fragrance from the Tubbees line by the brand Grandeur (sometimes stylised as Tubbees or Tubbee’s). The perfume is categorized as a floral-fruity-gourmand scent, leaning heavily into dessert notes. It was launched around 2024. 

As with many gourmand perfumes, the appeal is in its playful, sweet nature — it’s not meant for austere minimalism or subtlety, but rather for those who enjoy indulging their senses.

Fragrance Notes & Scent Structure

To understand how Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees smells, let’s unpack its composition — the top, middle (heart), and base notes:

• Top notes: Cheesecake, strawberry, and vanilla.
  
  
• Heart notes: Vanilla repeats, whipped cream, and sandalwood.
  
  
• Base notes: Vanilla again, and styrax (a resinous note).
  
  

From these, you see that the fragrance is built very heavily around vanilla, with strawberry and cheesecake as prominent accents, and a resinous base to ground the sweetness.

In the opening moments, you may detect a richer strawberry and cheesecake aroma — almost like a strawberry-topped cheesecake with a cookie or graham cracker crust underneath. As it settles, many wearers say the scent shifts to more of a cookie-oriented creaminess, vanilla, and a sweet backbone. 

Wearing Experience & Performance

Projection & Sillage

In terms of projection (how far the scent travels) and sillage (trail), Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees tends to be moderate rather than overpowering. Early reviews suggest it doesn’t project “strongly” but is noticeable in close proximity. It’s designed more for personal enjoyment and closer social settings rather than dramatic scent clouds.

Longevity

For longevity (how long it lasts on skin), it tends to fall in the medium range. Users frequently report it lasting a few hours but fading in intensity later on. Some say after the first hour or two, the strawberry note becomes more subdued, making room for the vanilla and creamier aspects. 

One user review on a fragrance forum noted:

“the strawberry smell is present only at the start for one minute, after a couple of minutes it smells like very sweet cookies … it doesn’t last long” 

So, while it’s fun and gourmand, it may not be the most long-lasting scent in your collection.

Character & Mood

This perfume leans very sweet, dessert-like, youthful, and playful. It gives off vibes of indulgence, cuteness, and comfort. It’s not a refined “grown-up” gourmand in the style of haute perfumery — it’s more like wearing a delicious treat. For some, that’s exactly the draw. For others who prefer subtlety or sophistication, it might be too saccharine.

My Personal Impressions

When I first tried Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees, I was intrigued by the name — any perfume that promises “cheesecake” is either going to delight or disappoint. The opening was quite bold: strawberry syrup and a suggestion of creamy dessert. Very gourmand, very sweet. After a few minutes on skin, I felt the fragrance softened, turning into something like a vanilla-cream cookie with a hint of strawberry echo. The cheesecake itself was less distinct than I hoped; instead, the “cake crust / cookie” side became more pronounced.

Over time, it mellowed further. The strawberry receded, vanilla and cream became dominant, and a gentle warmth from the resinous base lingered. I didn’t find the fragrance lasted all day — after 4–5 hours it became faint on my skin, though on clothing or in fabric it lingered a little longer. I also noticed on lighter application that it can vanish too quickly, so I sometimes layered it or sprayed more confidently, depending on occasion.

Overall, it’s fun for casual wear, sweet scent lovers, or dessert fragrance fans. I wouldn’t choose it for formal evenings or hot humid days where it can feel too sugary, but for cozy settings or daytime wear, it shines.

Comparisons & Alternatives

If you enjoy dessert perfumes, Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees can be compared with other gourmand or strawberry-themed fragrances. But it has its own quirks. Because of the heavy vanilla and cookie crust character, some users say it smells somewhat like Tubbees Cookies & Cream (another fragrance from the same brand). Some say that after a while, the strawberry note fades and it resembles that other scent. 

For contrast: if you try more premium gourmand scents, or those that are more balanced (fruit + cream + complexity), you may find Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees is simpler in structure. But its playful, youthful character gives it charm.

Tips for Use & Best Practices

• Because it’s a sweet gourmand, less is more. A couple of sprays at pulse points may be enough unless you really want something bold.
  
  
• Apply to moisturized skin or a lightly fragranced base — hydration helps gourmand scents last longer.
  
  
• Try layering: wear a neutral or lightly scented lotion first, then add Strawberry Cheesecake on top to make it hold.
  
  
• Be mindful of fabrics. As with many perfumes, oils or dyes might stain or alter the smell when applied on clothes. Some users warn that these perfumes can leave pale discoloration on lighter clothes. (Reddit)
  
  
• Because gourmand scents can feel heavy in warmth, test how it behaves in your local climate (heat and humidity). In very hot weather, it may become cloying or shift odor.
  
  

Pros & Cons at a Glance (Narrative Style)

One of the joys of Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees is the sheer playfulness of it: every time you catch a whiff, you feel like you’re sniffing a dessert. It’s cute, sweet, youthful, and not afraid to lean into its gourmand identity. For fans of vanilla, dessert, and sugary scents, it’s a fun addition that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

However, the sweetness can be polarizing. Some might find it too synthetic, too sugary, or lacking in depth. The strawberry note is bold at the start but fades relatively quickly for many wearers. And as mentioned, longevity is average. If you expect a long-wearing, elegant fragrance, this might disappoint.

Still, if your collection needs a cheerful, dessert-inspired scent to brighten your wardrobe, it’s worth a try.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the ideal occasion to wear Strawberry Cheesecake Tubbees?
This fragrance is best suited for casual outings, fun events, dessert-themed or sweet fragrance days, or times when you want something light-hearted. It’s less suited for formal business settings or very hot climates where its sweetness may become overwhelming.

Does it smell like real cheesecake?
While the name promises “cheesecake,” most users say the cheesecake aspect is more suggestive than literal. The scent leans more toward creamy, vanilla, cookie, and strawberry themes, with the cheesecake idea present as a fun concept rather than a direct “cheese” aroma. 

How long does it last on skin?
Typically a few hours — around 3 to 5 hours depending on skin type, application, and climate. After that, it may fade significantly. On fabrics, it might linger a bit longer.

Is this perfume suitable for children?
The product is often marketed as suitable for younger users (girls or kids) and women alike. That said, fragrance is a personal choice and should be used with care (especially with sensitive skin). Some users in perfume communities explicitly mention the “children’s perfume collection” context. 

Where can I buy it, and what is a typical price?
You can find it via online perfume retailers, fragrance boards, or auction sites. For instance, a 50 ml Eau de Parfum listing has appeared on eBay. In various beauty shops, it is sold under the name “Grandeur Tubbees Strawberry Cheesecake.” Prices can vary depending on region, shipping, and authenticity.

Is it strong or overpowering?
No — by most reports, it is moderate in strength rather than overpowering. It’s noticeable in close proximity but doesn’t tend to cast a dramatic aura in a room. 

Does the strawberry smell last?
Only initially. Many users observe that after the opening burst, the strawberry fades and the fragrance centers more on vanilla, cream, or cookie notes.
