What does Gâteau de Carnavale smell like?

Fried dough and brown sugar form the backbone, while vanilla and latte macchiato pull that sweetness in a creamy, soft direction. Apricot adds a fruity brightness, and the synthetic accord gives the scent a slightly candied, artificial edge. The notes read as one whole rather than a sequence of stages.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the small number of ratings means these figures are only a rough guide. It suits men and women alike, and anyone who enjoys sweet perfumes. M. Asam Aprikose Vanille / Apricot Vanilla and Le Monde Gourmand Crème Vanille (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
