I Love New York for All

This is a really fun thing to wear out with your signature person ;) Overall there is a playfully sexy undertone to this, but it's very, very FUN! It's so warm and delectable, totally rich, smooth, dark and decadent. And absolute concoction of "adult" gourmands (not in a raunchy way, but in a dark/dry chocolate and coffee way, with real vanilla bean). It smells of artisanal chocolate shoppes and Italian roast beans, and real whipped heavy cream. Chestnuts, on the verge of burning waft in the background. Nutmeg isn't listed, but I get it. It embodies happy, warm environments and havens from the winter weather. It has a distinct peppery opening, so I see how it could be a struggle, it's kind of like actual street hot dogs. I don't particularly mind it, but it is a bit challenging and I'm relieved when it settles down even though part of me enjoys it (I just don't want to smell like meat ROFL). After 20 mins it glides headlong into the heavy gourmand and woodsy tones...the sandalwood is powdery, dry and comforting. I get leather as well, but not enough to turn anything decidedly away from the richness of the foodie notes. This is a good, GOOD patchouli too. I would avoid it unless you're prepared for a slightly dirty (but not dingy) patchouli. I don't know why the patch isn't voted in as being more dominant on the note pyramid. The next day after wearing this I'm left with soft tonka, patchouli and a bit of coffee. It's a good subtle "leftover" skin scent. There is something so DRY about this. Warm, dry, *precisely* what I need. I feel it in Nirvana Black too...which is a welcome essence in the PNW rain. The bottle is black, but it smells like rich, warm brown and cream accents (hope that my synesthesia makes some semblance of sense). It's also truly unisex in my opinion, and it is a rare thing that smells nearly equally masculine and feminine, the notes are somewhat universally pleasing, while managing to remain totally unique. *update I've never smelled anything quite like this, and it's enough to give me crazy notions of hunting down a full size bottle (I have a sleeve of 25 testers, which is enough to last quite some time...but still). I keep returning to it, and it's a brilliant gourmand that stands alone as a unique and highly creative artwork. It's somehow still inoffensive despite all of that, and doesn't tread on many toes (unlike my beloved Angel). I've even learned to embrace the oily/peppery opening and lose myself in the challenges before the drydown. 🤎 I've got it bad for this one.

Love this fragrance. I like smelling different and complex scents then everyone else. At first Bond no 9 never caught my eye cause i find their packaging a bit whimsy and tacky. until i saw so many of them in a luxury store i shop at. So i considered bond to be possibly prestige and or select. So i gave them a shot and smelled them. I liked alot of them, i couldnt choose which one i liked. The other day i went to Nordstrom and saw the 3 I love NY Bond collection. I smelled them all. The blue was nice but too sweet like a V by Valentino or Lacoste white pure. The pink is for woman. But the black was very weird and different and would maybe get a typical gross reaction by the average person at first sniff due to its over bearing unrecalling gourmand scent, but im more open minded then that. So i didnt knock it down yet, it was strangely unique. I kept whiffing and asked for a sample. i wore it out and couldnt stop smelling myself. Its a pleasing soft gourmand but complex. Which is what i like. I dont want to smell like a typical type of dessert or a bakery. I dont go for gourmand but i do enjoy Hermes Elixer, Thiery Mugler a taste of fragrance and now this one. all 3 of those are types of gourmand that are not gross or nauseating but are the kind that are a bit unisex and at first smell like people wouldnt wear it because its too different from what we grow accustomed to but on skin and given a chance, is amazing! Just like how people love Angel from Thierry Mugler so much (I cant stand that fragrance) I love NY for all (Black bottle)is just like that Angel without the notes that make it overwhelming, gross and recognizable. I love NY for all is a sexier and the new gourmand love for...well for all!

Although the Bond No.9 house produces too many scents, in the same trend as Montale and their catalog, they have something to offer to everyone. I admit, I find most bonds underwhelming, but when I do find one I enjoy, I'm usually floored. This is one that completely blew my mind! For being a gourmand, it's incredibly complex and multifaceted. Generally, gourmands tend to be linear and even though they're usually pleasing, they can get boring with frequent use. Perfectly unisex, I Love NY for All is one that changes the more you wear it. Some days I get sugar cookies; others I get caramel/chocolate covered popcorn. Sometimes I get more coffee than cocoa and vice versa. It remains a chameleon, but always within the context of a gourmand. Whatever the case, each time I wear it, I'm instantly transported to a carnival or boardwalk. Longevity is superb as well and can last well above 24 hours. I try not to apply more than three sprays and even then it can become too cloying. Unfortunately, its success in quality is also its downfall. For one, it's difficult to wear in warmer weather or even as an everyday scent. In addition, it's one that is too heady and can turn someone off if it's not used with caution. Overall, however, it's definitely recommended for those with a sweet tooth.

I wouldn't say that I <3 NY All is terribly holiday-ish, but there is something so wonderfully familiar and comforting about it, that it does call to mind a cozy family gathering. For me, it is perhaps an intimate breakfast, or a fireside tipple while reading the paper or a good book, as others in the room chat quietly while the children play a board game. Or, perhaps a leisurely walk past a sidewalk vendor on an overcast afternoon in the fall, or a warm cinnamon bun served with a hot mocha as one's housemate sits nearby, polishing his or her new leather boots. It wasn't my favorite at first sniff, but I <3 NY All has ascended the ranks to reside among my most loved scents. There are many that I love for their elegance, or their mystery; I <3 NY All is one I love for its unique gourmand comfort. It feels like coming home to a warm blanket and a hot drink, or a hug from an old friend. There are few scents that have such an effect on me, and for that reason I treasure my bottle. Silage is good, a spritz on the back of the neck and perhaps to the inner elbows under long sleeves will do nicely on a temperate day, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for office wear. It is a "Must Try", and for me personally, a "Must Never Run Out".

I love this perfume, it is perfect for those cold snowy or rainy days as it wraps you in the warm comfort of winter sweets. The perfume is fairly unisex but I'd say it leans feminine because the strongest notes are sweet gourmands. However, they're unisex gourmands and not floral so it can still be considered unisex. The opening features a second of bergamot and immediately after that the main note of marron glace dominates. I've never smelled this note before but I can describe it as a waxy nutty warm sweetness like roasted glazed hazelnuts kind of. It is also softly spicy. The black pepper is well blended into the marron glace as if it were one note. Along with the vanilla and cocoa which radiates in the background. A slight bit of patchouli emerges one minute after. It is not too herbaceous or earthy, it just adds a bit of green sweetness to the mix. I'm not sure if I can smell the coffee because the other notes dominate so much more. I like how during the dry down it smells pretty similar to one minute after I've sprayed it. It has the same warm nutty vanilla scent, only softer. This is mostly a sweet nutty and warm scent which is suitable for everyone young and old.

Well this was the bravest full bottle blind buy I've done in a long time. (With zero samples left in the UK, it was a straight up gamble based on notes and reviews). So... thank you very much to @The Wolf, @EmpressVision (who i pretty much trust implicitly on Bond), and everyone else!!! 😊 Your recommendations are rock solid, and had I sampled I would have bought the thing anyway. Lol. Personally, I just think this one is absolutely sensational!! To me, it is something REALLY different! It is not at all the traditional candy chocolate sweetie hug, it is not even particularly sweet, but it is 100% a gourmand!! I get a nutty, coffee, gourmet dark chocolate that just settles back into a pretty woody patchoulli base. Less bitter than New Haarlem (which I do also love), although this is also very much a cold weather scent, I find it is little more daytime wear suitable because of it.. although no doubt it is in the same wheelhouse. If you are a New Haarlem fan there is a good chance this'll work for you, and normally I'd say 'sample first' but in this case it'd make me a hypocrite 🤣 (Still sound advice if you do get the chance though)

I Love NY For All is a gourmand's gourmand, dominated by its heart notes of cocoa and coffee, their mixture reminding me mainly of a bakery or donut shop, both with respect to the baked goods themselves as well as the general smell of the shops. The bergamot makes more a more acerbic opening, with the patchouli and leather elements becoming a little more evident in the dry down, though still subservient to the cocoa and coffee, which are the mainstays of the fragrance from start to finish. As EDPs go, projection is average and longevity is above average. FragranceNet renders it very affordable, relative to most Bonds. One potential criticism is that due to the dense sweetness, ILNYFA might be likened to an "old lady perfume" but on my skin, I smell more of the bakery sweetness, so it really demands a try, especially given how polarizing it seems to be within the community. Those keen on sweet gourmands will likely love it, and others will take more convincing, but I'd recommend at least testing it out. It's among my favorites in the Bond No. 9 line. 8 out of 10

I Love New York for All is a beautiful gourmand... This is visiting your favorite coffee house on a chilly Sunday October morning where the coffee, chocolate, and vanilla greet you at the door like an old friend with a calming presence... Performance is first rate, lasting all day on me with modest application and until the next day on clothing and in hair. Projection is beyond arm's length, but in a good way, luring passerbys to ask, "you smell really great, what fragrance are you wearing?" The most bizarre thing about this fragrance is the dry down - the longer you wear it, the better it gets..!! This Bond No. 9 is totally unisex and will most situations in fall and winter wear. I will add though, this may be a little "loud" for office or close quarter wear. I Love New York for All rocks..!! My final tally is 4.5 stars out of 5. It comes with a solid love for the fragrance community and strong recommendation to add to any collection, especially if you like gourmands.. Enjoy your day and happy fragrance hunting..!!!

This scent starts off with a mix of nutty coffee and fairly medicinal, warm patchouli. As it dries down the nutty coffee and spices come in with the vanilla, like some sort of delectable coffee cake. It stays like this a long time, and eventually in the dry down the nutty scent and the patchouli seems to dominant, although by now the patchouli is a warm, woody accord. Has a sweet/bitter mix like strong coffee, but by the middle of the scent the sweet is dominant. But mostly it is a nutty/woody scent, distinctive and unusual in just how long that nut note holds on in the composition. It's there all the way through and dominates the scent. Great if you're looking for a different sort of gourmand scent that doesn't smell like candy but still has a foody quality. Warm, delicious, inviting -- lasts amazingly well too. As sweet scents are very popular right now it's hard to find one that stands apart -- but this one fits the bill, still managing to be unique and stand out.

I find many/majority of gourmands to be pretty unisex, however this one bucks that trend and leans a bit towards the masculine side IMO. Mainly because of a fairly strong "roasted" nutty accord in here that lasts the entire fragrance life span on me. I find it fits well here in the frag and gives a unique and complex twist that many gourmands are lacking. Choco Musk for example.....great smelling and long lasting scent, but very simple composition. Not always a bad thing, but sometimes you want something a little more unique and complex and this delivers on that. I read some people are turned off by a note in this...something that comes across to them as meaty/sausage/fatty smell. Well thankfully, I don't pick that up at all personally!lol And like most Bond's, it's longevity and projection are a force to be reckoned with. So....if your a gourmand lover, I don't see why you wouldn't want to give this a try. Especially for the price it can be found for now.

This is my first Bond No 9 to try, and I'm surprised to find myself loving this perfume because I normally don't care for the gourmand/foodie class of fragrances on myself. Thanks to the generosity of BRIECHEESE1188 for including this sample in her recent giveaway. I Love New York For All features elements which set it a bit apart from the rest of the gourmand pack, in my view, rendering it more complex and interesting. The wood/patchouli/leather accords act as a capable foil for the sweet/chocolate/coffee spike and mellow this from something merely dessert-like/breakfast-pastry to a more balanced array of notes. A brief showing of bergamot in the opening adds yet more layering to the ensemble effect. Sillage seems good, and longevity is impressive. Definite unisex perfume in my opinion. I'd find this equally compelling on a man or a woman, and that to me is the mark of a well-composed fragrance, very often. I'm moving this one to my "want" list.

I have tried several Bond No. 9's and I'm usually a little let-down. They never measure up to the hype. But I do have to say, this is delicious. Here's what I smell. Chocolate! Delicious chocolate, not overbearing, cloying, intensely burned vanilla-chocolate. But real sugar and chocolate. It's got a serious 'freshly baked sugar cone w/ ice cream' vibe happening here. It lasts quite a while on my skin. Nice! I would love to see a cheaper alternative on the market that gives the same 'sugar cone w/ chocolate' sensation I get from ILNYFA. Because, let's face it, the price tags are a little ludicrous. But this does smell wonderful. It's a scent that I wouldn't want to wear everyday, as it has a danger of becoming "too much" if you over-wear it. So used on occasion, it's possibly my favorite gourmand on the market currently. Good stuff!

The initial spray of this was so deceptive! It was a very strong, very dirty patchouli, with an overwhelming abundance of pepper straight from my husband's pepper grinder. I instantly thought, Scrubber! and chucked it into the trash can without a second thought. Thankfully, I got sidetracked by my toddler before I was able to go scrub it off. Within 10 minutes it had undergone a complete personality change, transforming into a delectable, warm, rich gourmand. I have never had a marron glace, but one of my favorite teas is a chestnut flavored black tea. I load it up with a spoonful of caramel and lots and lots of cream. Yum! For All smells a lot like that tea tastes (which is by Adagio for any curious tea-lovers who might read this). Definitely on my wishlist now. Oh, and I of course rescued the sample vial from the trash can.

Yum, this is nice. I Love NY for All begins with a cocoa, coffee, and floral feel. It reminds me of a bakery for sweets or stepping into a coffee shop in the early morning. As it wears for a bit longer, it exudes a chocolatey, cocoa cereal vibe that engrosses the gourmand-lover in me. I once caught an unknown girl walking around Barnes & Noble wearing I Love NY for All. She claimed to have been wearing only two sprays, but her soft saccharine cloud had a 4-5 foot radius. I considered following her clandestinely just to sniff until I recognized my creepy foolishness. This perfume is sweet, straightforward, and delicious in the colder months. I find it irresistible when my girlfriend wears it and comforting on me. It's great for dates, good for work, and enjoyable at home. Thanks to Brie for sending the sample!

This one is on my Christmas wish list and I got a sample of it when one of my "prezzies" arrived. My hubby didn't realize that Nordies gives out samples with a purchase, LOL. Anyway, it was going to be blind buy, but now I actually get to try it before he orders it. When I first spritzed it (just once on each wrist), I thought "Whoa, this is seriously strong!" It smelled rather peppery and I was thinking "Ok, maybe I don't want this one after all!" But I wore it and as it settled, it became a lovely, sweet coffee scent with slight nuances of chocolate and my hubby agreed saying "Mmmm...that smells good!" The sillage was amazing and it lasted all day plus though my super sweaty hour-and-a-half long interval session on the bicycle! Yep, if it can last through all that, it's a winner in my book!

This delicious gourmand perfume captured my attention right away! I love it and bought 3 backup bottles! This is my nighttime scent! On my extremely dry skin this perfume lasts almost all night (6-8 hours depending on how hot it is) and leaves a nice scent trail. It lasts for days on my pillow and sheets! I wish the coffee note was stronger but on me this perfume smells like hazelnuts, vanilla, caramel and pancakes with maple syrup. I love it and dread running out of it! FragranceNet.com often sells samples. Normally I would recommend blind buying this perfume but after reading reviews I realize body chemistry matters affecting scents. I still cannot figure how people smell meat in this perfume that never happens on me.

I Love New York for All by Bond No. 9 Parfum is a scent unlike any other - roasted chestnuts covered in the truest thick cream, sprinkled with vanilla, coconut shavings and white chocolate. The aroma is thick and flavorful. Perfect for warming up in the autumn cold and frosty days. It opens with a blast of black pepper with something creamy and nutty. After a while it transforms into the scent of an over-sweetened, milk and rice dessert. From time to time, the musty, heavily buttery, even oily patchouli note breaks through. Addictive and intoxicatingly delicious, sweet and crisp. Works perfectly with body chemistry and is incredibly long lasting. 🔸🔶🔸🔶🔸🔶🔸🔶🔸🔶🔸🔶🔸🔶🔸🔶🔸 🔹Main note: Marron Glace 🔹Author: IFF 🔹Launched: 2011

I used a tiny amount because I didn't want it to become cloying. With this application, what I got was a very smooth and mellow gourmand that lasted a long time. It was clearly vanillic but the other notes were not easy to detect, other than a clear but mild (and blended) floral element. When I caught a heavy waft I have to admit that it smelled very good, not "synthetic" at all (my great fear with Bond/9 scents). There may indeed be a very mild rum note in there, but with a half spritz to the chest don't expect to experience it with a lot of force. Overall, the only complaint might be the price, considering that I think I'd rather wear Pure Havane if given a choice between the two, and that one is less expensive.

For years I sought a fragrance that accurately captured the signature NY scent of roasted chestnuts, hot from the stand. While I Love NY for All is billed as a coffee fragrance, it is much more on the dessert side. It opens with smooth floral notes, a bit of chocolate, and sugared chestnut, then settles into more of a spicy sandalwood with a whisper of vanilla. Plenty of patchouli comes out to play on the drydown but it never overwhelms the sweet candied notes. I adore this scent in the cold weather as it is extremely cozy. For the price, I've always wanted prettier packaging from Bond No. 9. All in all, this member of the I Love NY fragrance family is a must-try for lovers of gourmand perfumes. Delectable.

Ok after having this for about 6 months I can say I have seen both sides of this fragrance.One side is a stale milk smell or something stale the other is like someone said smelling a bowl of count chocula cereal.... When I do get the count chocula cereal that's where this is a sweet gourmand dream... It bold lasts and is great .... When it's stale it stale... I can't explain why I get these 2 extremes out of this frag but I have seen the kinda of thing happen with dhi sometimes I get an insane chocolate chip cookie dough vibe and others just vanilla/iris ... I never get any coffee but I highly recommend trying this many times ..... Ps today it's is the sweet gourmand lovers dream!

I only have a decant, but the bottle is in wishilist. Totally gourmand since the opening: coffee, chocolate and vanilla, slightly spicy. There's something of almond that I credit the marrons glacés. It's like to be in Starbucks’s line, waiting your first coffee of the day. When I smell directly from the bottle, can get the bergamot. But when applying on skin this note soon dissipates. The drydown is caramel coffee (caramel macchiato), sustained by the patchoulli and leather. Better than I expected; However, it doesn't last long – about 4:00 to 5:00 hours. The opening has a strong projection, but after few minutes it calms down and only will be perceived by whom approaches.

Milky chocolate over yeasty, bread-y cake smells along with barely there, earthy, gritty coffee. Tons of nuttiness in the opening. An awesome gourmand and my favorite chocolate so far. Still present on my hand after 12 hours. Projected slightly outside arms length for 4. Outstanding complexity for a gourmand and amazing performance to boot. Word Picture: Taking a blow torch to a bowl of cocoa puffs, toasting the cereal while slightly scalding the milk, then tossing in gritty coffee grounds. Wow Factor: The opening is jarring, almost a bit scary, then 5 minutes in this scent just envelopes you. Rating from Poor to Outstanding: Outstanding, *****

I absolutely love this. I smelled it once in a Bond store then on a Sephora but never took the plunge. Now I got a new bottle from a friend for a very good price and i must say : why didn’t I buy it when it was on the stores? Perfect for winter and spring: the scent is simply dark chocolate with hints of vanilla and patchouli (the non smokey kind) and it envolverla you in an aura of warmth and just plain deliciousness! It is not that sweet , it is just delicious. Won’t give you a headache and people will tell you: what’s that fragrance you’re wearing? Thumbs up!!! Hopefully New Harleem is back soon as this one I want to use for special nights.

It was love at first smell! There have been many perfumes that use vanilla as either a middle or base note, and never getting it quite right. It can be overpowering due to fruity notes mixed with it, or it tries to make vanilla seem like the only extreme note you are smelling. It can be overwhelming. This perfume creates a perfect combination with other woody and oriental notes (along with coffee) that complement each other, vanilla being a base, without giving me a headache or stomachache. It seems to work with my body chemistry very well and I will plan to use this perfume when I want to smell sweet and sexy.

New and contemporary from the house of bond no 9 in NYC... I have just received the sample from Harrods London and have worn it all day long... Gorgeous and unique juice based around strong coffee, cocoa, leather, pepper, patchouli and vanilla notes...I can detect a very sensual gasolin/petrol note which is certainly very much of an 80`s accord...think garage/motorbikes/hot steamy attraction...I truly love this in a modern scent...there is a masculine/androgynous/vampish flair in this Bond...is this why the scent is in a Black bottle?...I wonder... Excellent longevity and sillage... Big thumbs up...!!!

Well, I had to LMAO.....some say it smells like piss, boiling rice or chocolate sausage. Hey, what's wrong with that! Mostly I read cocoa and gourmand with coffee. I think I will have to try this one, search the bay. I like boiling rice and have you ever tried chocolate covered bacon, well I thought gross on that too, until I tried it! I guess it all boils down to chemistry, but boy the reviews here are funny. I was looking through my "want" list to find the dead ringer for the old Tabu, and thought this one might be it. WRONG. But I now have to find me a bottle of this too! Happy sniffing :)

VERY buttery, sweet, smokey, powdery. It's kind of weird, to be honest. But I'm not sure that's a bad thing, as I can't seem to stop sniffing my wrist to see what the scent is doing. The dry-down is phenomenal; however, it takes about 2 hours to get there. Until then, the salt and fat are quite present and make I Love New York For All smell kind of like a savory pie. It's almost meaty, in a way. I'm still exploring the scent, for now, in sample form. Further forays into "New York" are needed before I decide if I'd like to live there, but while I'm not in love, I am very, very intrigued.

I love this fragrance. Perfect for Autumn & Winter. Evening/Night Holiday parties. Cold winter romantic nights in flannel and wool sweaters. Cocoa, vanilla, tonka bean, mocha, praline, coffee, whip cream caramel buttery scent with a hint of medicine & butterscotch scents. Not for everyone but such an unusual scent that these are the ones that get noticed. So many gourmand hints inside that it keeps the smeller guessing which gourmand sweet does this recall all a while enticing to taste of a morning sweet cup of coffee on a winter beautiful day/night by the fire.

This has become one of my signature scents, it's made for New England winters, it's so cozy, and a great perfume for your sweater. One problem - the bottle is VERY black glass, so it's impossible to tell how much is left in the bottle! I've tried holding it up to a light bulb, but still no luck. I think I may have to try the refrigerator trick, but I hesitate because I don't know if it will affect the perfume. So If you hear a scream coming from my house, you'll know that I reached the end of the bottle with no warning.

Excellent perfume! Stays for a long time and gets better and better. Warm and fuzzy. Awesome for colder days but I enjoy this anytime. It's a coffee latte chocolate maroon scent and has a great woody vanilla dry down. Absolute love for me. I am thinking its becoming slowly one of my favourites and may be moving to my top shelf!!! It is indeed a breakfast scent. It smells like breakfast and maroons with coffee . It is equally great on a man. Absolute LOVE!!!! Superb quality!

I've been looking for a sweet cocoa scent for about a year now. I have a decant of LIDGE but the citrus+Cocoa wasn't doing it for me. Next, I fell in love with Nasomatto Pardon which is drier and not as sweet but is a good formal scent. ILNYFA is the cocoa scent I've been looking for.Nice Sweet Milk chocolate and chestnut(smells like hazelnut)and has good longevity. This is my first FB from Bond as I like it better than New Haarlem as my go to gourmand.

Absolutely love this fragrance. I feel like I am sipping on an expresso and eating a creme brulee. Yes the opening has a bite to it and to me the pepper smells more like cinnamon here, but I literally want to dive into this desert. I don't find it too sweet or overpowering. Sandalwood keeps it deliciously creamy and tamed if you will. Can not believe it took me so long to find this beauty. Will be trying more of Bonds in the near future ;)

I understand now what's the problem to many people wearing this scent.. it's something that many describe as a chocolate sausage combo. To me it smells somehow apothecary.. like a herb - chamomille and tarragon?, mixed with a coffe chocolate base. It's also quite peppery (like most meaty products..) Someting in that way.. Because of the herbs and pepper people get confused and then NYfA gives them the impression to smell meaty..

If you're a gourmand lover you'll love this one. It's very vanillic, heavy, and sweet. The smell is reminiscent of a chocolate cereal. I absolutely love the scent, but is simply not masculine enough for me to feel comfortable wearing in public. However, I must admit that I would sniff myself constantly upon spraying. I eventually sold it because it just wasn't practical for me.

STRAIGHT FIRE!!! One of the best gourmands I have. This cacao ain't sweet because its tempered by the coffee. The marron glace is dead on as a chestnut note. This is GROWN FOLKS business. The spicy drydown is divine. It gives nothing but warm and cozy fee-fees. Comfort in a bottle. Perfect for fall and winter nights whether you stay in or go out.

This scent is intriguing ... is super super sweet and snack at the same time ....... I felt as if they were salted almonds / toast .... with lots of vanilla, caramel. Patchouli is muitooooo strong, it's like if u smell right on the bottle of Vick's Vaporub. not bad but not found! Quite the contrary, I was wanting one with all the forces

Warm skin - sweet happy uplifting. Very impressed by the performance. This opens as a sweet, dry and dense fragrance. It is very well blended to my nose (Which is, in my opinion, the sign of a great perfumier). Long lasting, warm and sweet. Almost a "dull" sweet smell. Great purchase!

This is a beautiful gourmand fragrance. On me I get cacao throughout, but not an overly sweet cacao. I kept smelling it and thinking of cacao powder used in baking. I don't smell any coffee notes. My SO said it smells yummy and delicious on me. She was a big fan of it as well.

Smells like warm milk and honey, sooooo delicious!!! I have to have it. This will be so comforting to have around, especially in a colder climate. This is a classic, round, wonderful gourmand scent, a total winner imo.

I really liked the unique juice that reminds me of a sweet milk chocolate liqueur... More suitable for cold weather... Like a comforting candy that brings back childhood memories...

sprayed on.wrist...wow...yumm..well...mmmkay...muffins maybe...PLASTIK hit the nail on the head. It semlls just like the non sugary thing-ees in the lucky chams cereal.I love it!!!

Smells exactly like chocolate Rice Krispies! AMAZING! Creamy chocolate gourmand.....and when Bond No. 9 does gourmand they always get it right. Sexy, sexy, sexy and sexy scent.

This scent really grew on me. I initially thought it was too "patchouli-y" or maybe it was just that I got a hippy vibe from it. But I ended up adoring it an wear it often.

Milky chocolaty and creamy, to me it smells like the drink Alpino Fast, with a leather note in the background! Wonderful.

I like this one a lot! Definitely on my want list! I think I like the for her a bit more. : )

I'm not gonna try to dissect this, I cant anyway....its flat out deep rich n sexy

Intense "Cocoa-Butter" This lasts a looooong time. Quality right there.

scent 9/10 (i like coffee) sillage 8/10 longevity 8/10

NEED it, NEED it, NEED it, NEED it, NEED it!!! : )

Nice smoothly blended chocolatey creamy fragrance
