What does Gourmandises smell like?

Candied rose and praliné build a sweet, gourmand base, with saffron adding a spicy warmth. Ambrette seed and cashmere wood bring a soft, woody, powdery touch. The floral and fruity sides stay in the background of the sweetness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Just over half of voters find it feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Lolita Lempicka (Eau de Parfum) and La Perla J'Aime la Nuit have a close profile.
