What does Escapade Gourmande Grand Cru smell like?

It opens with vanilla absolute and Peru balsam, and in the heart black sugar and tonka bean absolute deepen the sweetness. Musk and Bourbon vanilla absolute sit in the base. The feel is powdery and resinous, with earthy and smoky shades staying in the background.

Voters find both its longevity and sillage very strong, so it makes its presence known. The vote count is small, so this impression is not definitive. It suits those who like gourmand scents and doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Gucci Vanilla Firenze and Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande have a close profile.
