Le Gourmand

It is one of the most mouth watering fragrances I’ve ever smelled. The composition brings to mind a hot slice of toast with a thick layer of Nutella, like breakfast, only served in an elegant bottle. You can clearly pick up hazelnuts, toasted bread, chocolate, and a creamy, buttery note that wraps around you like a soft blanket on a chilly morning. The opening is absolutely divine, almost sticky with sweetness, like the air in a bakery just after fresh pastries have been taken out of the oven. After a few minutes, a touch of bitter cocoa appears, acting like a pinch of salt in a dessert, it enhances the flavour and balances everything beautifully. The scent is expertly blended, deliciously edible, yet not overwhelming, more like a delicate dessert than a heavy cake. It’s a composition that lovers of gourmand fragrances will adore, it smells a bit like late night snacking by an open window, when the world slows down and everything feels more intense. Longevity is around five hours, with rather moderate projection. It stays close to the skin, like a sweet little secret.
