Mirage Gourmand

8.2

Les Nobles Essences · 2024

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

Les Nobles Essences Mirage Gourmand is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent that leans towards autumn and winter days. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and autumn, and it is worn mainly for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Its character reads slightly more feminine, though modern and masculine readings show up too. It opens with sugar powder, almond cake and pistachio, so the sweetness is clear from the start. In the heart, almond, tonka bean and hazelnut carry the gourmand mood on, while white musk, gaiac wood and vanilla soften it and settle it onto a lightly woody base. The powdery and spicy accords add some dryness. Its profile is close to Profumum Roma Dolce Acqua and Giardini di Toscana Bianco Latte.

Mirage Exotique

8.0

Les Nobles Essences · 2025

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Les Nobles Essences Mirage Exotique is a fruity, sweet unisex scent built around passion fruit, rose and vanilla. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, with most voters scoring both high, though the number of votes is small, so read this with caution. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on either a man or a woman. It opens with passion fruit, saffron and mandarin orange, bright and lightly spicy. The heart of rose, coconut and mango keeps the floral and fruity sweetness going. The base of amber, vanilla, cedarwood and sandalwood settles into a warm, woody ground. My Geisha Carnal Rose and Les Folies du Parfum Tigris have a close profile.
