What does Gourmandise smell like?

In the top, coconut and blackberry give a fruity sweetness. Ylang-ylang, hibiscus and orchid add a floral layer in the heart. The base of vanilla, white musk, leather and cinnamon makes it powdery, spicy and warm, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is not a firm verdict. Its sweet, gourmand build sits closer to cooler days, and it can be worn by anyone. Its profile is close to Stéphanie de Bruijn Paris-Istanbul and Profumum Roma Kyoto.
