Size & Base

A dreamy cotton candy perfume inspired by second-chance romances, summer carnivals, and dog-eared paperbacks. Second Chance opens with clouds of pink cotton candy and strawberry sugar before unfolding into delicate peony petals, fluffy vanilla cream, warm tonka bean, and soft cashmere musk. Sweet, feminine, and nostalgic, it's a romantic fragrance for anyone who loves cotton candy perfumes, strawberry perfumes, and stories that deserve another chapter.

There was a time when every summer looked the same.

The carnival would come to town, and they'd spend evenings wandering beneath the lights with pink cotton candy in their hands and paperbacks tucked beneath their arms. They had a tradition of bringing books for each other—stories they'd loved, dog-eared pages marked with favorite lines, favorite passages underlined in pencil, little pieces of themselves exchanged one summer at a time.

Until the year everything changed.

And after that, neither of them ever came back.

Not for one summer.

Not for ten.

Then one July evening, without knowing why, they each decide it's finally time.

The music is still drifting through the warm air. The Ferris wheel still turns against the evening sky. A vase of peonies catches the last golden light of sunset, and beside the cotton candy stand sits a stack of books waiting for someone to take them home.

Neither of them expects the other to be there.

But some stories aren't finished the first time they're written.

Maybe some stories simply wait for the Ferris wheel to come back around.

That’s Second Chance.
