Mariah Carey is an iconic singer, songwriter and actress who has made a name for herself in the music and entertainment industry. She has also branched out into the world of fragrances, creating a line of signature scents that capture the essence of her unique style. Each of her fragrances has its own unique character and charm; in the article I will explain what each of the 12 Mariah Carey perfume smells like and link to where you can still get them.

The Mariah Carey fragrances are all discontinued, however they can still be found online. I’ve found them on eBay here, on amazon and Walmart.
M by Mariah Carey
M by Mariah Carey is a feminine blend of lush, sweet florals, alongside an undercurrent of warm incense. It was pretty brave to incense in her first perfume; typically celebrity fragrances tend to have quite neutral notes in so that they are universally appealing. As a result however, M by Mariah Carey developed a bit of a cult following and has gone on to be one of the more successful celebrity perfumes.
M Ultra Pink
The second Mariah Carey fragrance, M Ultra Pink is a classic cherry blossom perfume. Because the core cherry blossom note is so delicate, as with other similar perfumes, a fresh peony and some fruity notes have been added to support the core scent. The only thing M Ultra Pink has in common with the original M perfume is a tiare flower note which adds a slightly exotic feel to the floral bouquet.
Mariah Carey Luscious Pink
Luscious Pink is a light and innocent fragrance which uses a fruity bellini fragrance note alongside the signature Mariah Carey tiare flower and peony floral bouquet.
Mariah Carey Luscious Pink is fresh and inoffensive without much lasting power; I recommend it for a summers day.
Mariah Carey Forever
Mariah Carey Forever not only comes in a different perfume bottle to most of the other Mariah Cary fragrances, it was also a different type of fragrance to its predecessors. Forever is a green floral scent characterised by gardenia and tuberose with a green apple top note. It reminds me a bit of some of the lighter Elizabeth Taylor Gardenia fragrances. Mariah Carey Forever is more serious than most of her fragrances and would work well as a scent for the office.
Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Honey
There aren’t many honey fragrances on the market but Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Honey is one of them. A fun pineapple note combines with sweet honey and passionfruit to create a fun and tropical scent which is great fun.
Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Mine Again
Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Mine Again is another edible, gourmand fragrance. This time chocolate and cotton candy create a sweet and light-hearted fragrance. This isn’t a heavy perfume and lasts a couple of hours so it can be worn in any climate.
Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Ribbon
Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Ribbon is a calming fragrance which uses cucumber, lotus and melon alongside a very sweet, sugary undertone to create a classic ‘celebrity’ scent. This is everything I’d expect from Mariah Carey and this pretty blue and pink bottle; innocent, sweet and fun.
Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling That Chick
Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling That Chick is a tropical guava fragrance which reminds me of an orange sherbet sweet. Lollipop Bling That Chick is for fans of very sweet fragrances for sure!
Mariah Carey Lollipop Splash Inseparable
Lollipop Splash Inseparable is another fun fruity fragrance which combines raspberry and mango notes to create a fruit punch style perfume. These fruity top notes also reveal an orange blossom heart and a praline base which creates a classic ‘fruity floral’ perfume. It also reminds me a bit of Escada Miami Blossom.
Mariah Carey Lollipop Splash Never Forget You
The bright orange bottle of Mariah Carey Lollipop Splash Never Forget You represent the orange top note which creates a refreshing opening note for the fragrance. Pineapple and sweet raspberry add to the fruity notes which make up the majority of the fragrance mix. There is also a slightly floral and sweet undertone to Lollipop Splash Never Forget You which adds complexity.
Mariah Carey Lollipop Splash Vision Of Love
Lollipop Splash Vision Of Love is one of the sweetest Mariah Cary fragrances. It uses coconut and vanilla to create its sweetness which combines with a fun fruity notes which we have come to associate with Mariah Carey perfumes.
Mariah Carey Dreams
The most recent release from Mariah Carey, her Dreams perfume is a departure from the sweet and fruity Lollipop perfumes which she had been releasing previously. Mariah Carey Dreams is warm and sexy with wintery notes of star anise, almond and caramel. Warm tonka bean and vanilla create a deep base which feels cosy and sophisticated. I think Dreams is probably the most ‘grown-up’ perfume in the Mariah Carey fragrance range and as a result remains popular.
