oversweetness

Too much saccharinity

Oversweetness is the quality of being excessively sweet.

Food or drink with oversweetness has more sugar than is pleasant: The oversweetness of the frosting made it hard to finish.

The term extends to manner or expression—an oversweetness in someone's tone suggests cloying flattery or forced niceness that feels insincere.
