Dialma

I didn't expect Dialma to smell more spicy and soapy to me. It's prominently spicy, so you can really smell the spice from the cinnamon and cardamom after the initial spray. I have to say this isn't really a gourmand scent, and this is coming from a gourmand lover. I can't imagine myself "eating" the scent. However it does have some gourmand traits to it. It has that embrace of nuttiness around the spice. You can smell the dark sweetness of the plum. It's not linear. When it dries down on the skin, it's a little creamy, but on clothing, it's more spicy. To me, this is a mature, soapy, sweet, spicy, nutty fragrance. At first, I didn't like it because it didn't meet my expectations from the reviews that I've read and watched. Now, I've learned to appreciate it as it is. My favorite note from this fragrance is definitely the plum. It's definitely not a safe blind buy. If you are looking for a straightforward, nutty, gourmand, pistachio dessert-like scent, this isn't for you. This is a sweet, clean, soapy scent. An elegant niche perfume. But I like it; I don't regret buying it at all. I'd wear it when I feel like dressing up for the day.

This is very pretty clean soapy gourmand. The pistachio note here is absolutely everything. Love the slight spice kick from cardamom and cinnamon, it’s very well balanced. Its gives me earthy vibe about it not to go too gourmand and too sweet. This is definitely not liner fragrance, changes through out and all stages are really enjoyable and pretty. I prefer this is so much more than fragrances like Bianco Latte, I find bianco latte way too sweet with too much Tonka which is not my personal favorite note. Here Tonka is toned down and just enough not to be to cloying. Can’t speak for the longevity just yet, but for me personally it’s not the most important thing.

This opens like a biscuity nutty gourmand, the pistachio and hazelnut are immediately quite prominent. As the scent softens into the dry-down creamy lactones come through as well as the fruity nuances. I’m surprised to see no florals listed but I love a plum note and really enjoy the interplay between the milk and the plum. This is my kind of gourmand, one with sweet elements but still perfumey! I find this quite captivating and addicting. Anything nutty always reminds me of tonka sesame by EPC but this is a smoother blend.

DIALMA - opens with a lot of pistachio, it is powdery, almondy, vanilla - the perfect pistachio and I love pistachio and here it is in an absolutely delicious combination with notes of cardamom, cinnamon, hazelnuts, milk, plum and ...macaroons!!! Not to mention the base - a vanilla, creamy base, with tonka beans and musk. It is a scent that I loved from the first sniff and if you want a lactonic, warm-spicy, powdery, gourmand scent with notes of pistachio, plum and macaroons, this is the one!

Pistachio sugar candy...drizzled with cardamom water. Starts of super loud, settles fairly quickly into a nutty thin syrup enriched with full fat milk...as the time passes it becomes a veil of tonka bean and vanilla. Keep seeing a blond haired girl wearing this all dressed in light beige or cream white...lots of gold. Overall this is happiness in your face...indulgence...Turkish candy shop...colorful...bold...vain and carefree... Good projection and excellent longevity.
