Crème Sucrée

Gourmet · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Gourmet Crème Sucrée is a creamy, sweet gourmand unisex fragrance, softened by floral and powdery touches. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so that verdict is tentative. It suits anyone who likes a warm, sweet scent and isn't tied to either gender. The top opens with jasmine, milk and crema catalana, pairing a floral lift with creamy sweetness. In the heart, amber, caramel and powdery notes deepen the sugar. The base of tonka bean, white musk and vanilla leaves it soft and powdery.

Vanille Absolue

8.2

Gourmet · 2024

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Gourmet Vanille Absolue is a sweet, creamy unisex scent that rests vanilla and amber on sandalwood and musk. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though with few votes so far that picture is still tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, so it isn't tied to a particular time of year, and it sits comfortably on men and women alike. It opens with lemon, orange and apple, a bright, fruity start that vanilla blossom sweetens almost at once. In the heart, gourmand notes, cashmere and ambrette make it powdery and soft. The base of musk, sandalwood, amber and vanilla leaves it warm and creamy. Citrus and floral accords sit alongside the sweeter ones.
