The Quick Spritz

• Sweet Tooth Lemon Pie launched January 2026 as the fifth scent in Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth line, retailing at $55.
• The scent smells like an actual lemon meringue pie: candied lemon, meringue, condensed milk, graham cracker, vanilla.
• Reviews are polarized; the gourmand profile is widely loved, but longevity is the consistent complaint.
• It is the strongest Sweet Tooth flanker on longevity so far, but still skews toward eau de toilette performance.
• For a similar sweet-citrus profile with proven staying power, Ariana Grande's Sweet Like Candy is a worth-sampling alternative.

Sabrina Carpenter's perfume empire crossed $100 million in sales in 2025, and Lemon Pie is the launch that pushed it over the edge. It's the fifth scent in her Sweet Tooth line, it dropped in January 2026, and TikTok promptly went feral for it.

Then the reviews started rolling in.

The gourmand profile is exactly what you would hope for: a candied-lemon meringue dessert in a bottle, sweet without being sickly, lemony without going Pledge-floor-cleaner. The longevity, on the other hand, is where opinions split hard. Some people get six hours. Others get twenty minutes. We dig into why below.

What's In It

Top notes: candied lemon, sugar, bergamot

Heart notes: meringue, limoncello, condensed milk

Base notes: graham crackers, vanilla, Chantilly cream, tonka bean

The opening is the loudest part of the experience. Candied lemon hits first, with sugar and bergamot rounding it out so the citrus reads as dessert rather than fresh laundry. About thirty minutes in, the limoncello and condensed milk pull through and soften everything into a creamy lemon-curd register.

The drydown is where Lemon Pie earns its name. Graham crackers and tonka bean give you the buttery, slightly toasted crust note. Vanilla and Chantilly cream sit underneath and keep the whole thing from turning sour. If you've ever wanted a fragrance that smelled like the moment a slice of pie hits the table, this is the closest a perfume has come.

How It Stacks Up Against the Sweet Tooth Lineup

The Sweet Tooth line now includes the original Sweet Tooth (2022), Caramel Dream (2023), Cherry Baby, Me Espresso (2024), and now Lemon Pie.

Each scent skews dessert-shop, each is sub-$60, and each performs roughly like a body spray.

Lemon Pie is the brightest of the bunch. Where Caramel Dream and Me Espresso lean into cozy, dim-room vibes, Lemon Pie is a bit more fun. The candied lemon gives it daytime energy that the other Sweet Tooth scents do not have. So toss on the sundresses.

The Honest Take

Let's talk pricing (UGH...): at $55, Lemon Pie is priced like a designer eau de parfum and performs closer to a prestige body mist. That isn't a deal-breaker for everyone, but you should know what you are paying for.

Longevity reports vary widely. And we mean, WIDELY.

On dry skin you may get two to four hours before it disappears. On sprayed clothing or hair, you can stretch it to six. Projection is soft, even in the opening. This is firmly a "smells expensive up close, invisible from across the room" scent.

If close-wear gourmand is what you wanted in the first place, this is a feature, not a bug. If you wanted something to fill a room with warm dessert, Lemon Pie will disappoint you.

The good news: this is the strongest performer in the Sweet Tooth line so far. Each flanker has improved on the last, and Lemon Pie is the first one that comfortably clears the body-mist threshold for most wearers.

Where to Try a Similar Scent

Sweet Tooth Lemon Pie is sold direct through Fragrance by Sabrina and at major US retailers, but it isn't currently carried on MicroPerfumes. If you want to test the sweet-citrus gourmand category before committing to a full bottle of anything, Ariana Grande's Sweet Like Candy sample vial is a budget-friendly starting point in the same lane (sweet, fruity, easy-wearing). For the pure sugar-bomb cousin, Pink Sugar by Aquolina gives you cotton candy and caramel for under three dollars per sample.

FAQ

What does Sweet Tooth Lemon Pie smell like?

It smells like a slice of lemon meringue pie. The opening is candied lemon and sugar, the heart is meringue, limoncello, and condensed milk, and the base is graham cracker, vanilla, Chantilly cream, and tonka bean.

How long does Sweet Tooth Lemon Pie last?

Longevity is polarized. Most wearers report two to four hours on skin, with longer wear when sprayed on clothing or hair. It is the longest-lasting Sweet Tooth scent to date but still performs closer to an eau de toilette than a long-wear eau de parfum.

Is Sweet Tooth Lemon Pie worth $55?

For fans of the candied-citrus gourmand profile, the scent itself delivers. The value question depends on your tolerance for soft longevity at a designer-tier price. If you wear close-skin scents often, yes. If you want sillage, look elsewhere.

Where can I buy Sweet Tooth Lemon Pie?

Lemon Pie is available direct through Fragrance by Sabrina (fragrancebysabrina.com) and at major US retailers including Walmart, Ulta, and Amazon. It is not currently sold on MicroPerfumes.

Final Notes

Sweet Tooth Lemon Pie is exactly what it claims to be: a dessert-store gourmand done well, with a real meringue-pie accord and the brightest profile in Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth lineup. The longevity issue is real, the price is steep for the performance, and yet the scent is genuinely lovely.

If you love close-wear gourmands and you have a soft spot for citrus dessert notes, sample first and decide whether you can live with two to four hours of wear. If sillage is your love language, this one will not be your favorite Sabrina.
