What does Explosion Gourmande smell like?

The notes are rose, caramel and lychee. Floral and fruity accords sit on a sweet, gourmand base, with a powdery softness and a synthetic gloss. The floral side of the rose and the juicy sweetness of the lychee meet the warm stickiness of the caramel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by winter and fall, and leisure and evening wear are the favoured settings. Zara Rose Gourmand Nectar and Mavemade Wunder have a close profile.
