Almond Eau de Toilette

I picked this up during the summer July sale. This is very soft (but there) and lovely. It reminds me a lot of Jergen’s cherry orig lotion scent and I mean this as a compliment. It is very comforting. The notes listed are so perfectly blended that nothing screams over top of the other. What a unique and comforting perfume. There is nothing else like it in my collection. LOVE it. I do not get any play dough note at all. Definitely almond with that sweet cherry mixed in. Soft and sweet but not thickly sweet - the kind of sweet you would imagine if powdered sugar was sifted onto a cake versus dumped into a cake? Not “pink sugar” sweet. Not thick. Fluffy sweet. I did not expect to enjoy this, however, I find myself hoping they keep this in their line and never change the formula! (I notice there is another version of this scent that has slightly different notes and a different bottle.) This review is for the 2023 edition pictured above.

This scent is dreamy and lasts a long time on me, I still get whiffs of almond the next day. It’s an EDT so you do have to spray more. It’s straight up marzipan and smells almost exactly like the holiday soap by Lush called “Snowcake”...and I mean that as a compliment. I can’t be the only one who’s been looking for a perfume to replicate that soap...and I can tell you, this is IT. If it didn’t say it had salt I wouldn’t have noticed, but it is there very subtly and adds a slight airy freshness. Maybe this is a close to the skin scent if you only do one spray, but I sprayed 4-5 sprays and would say it’s decadent! It’s weird to me how it’s described as goumand, although I guess it is since it’s sweet, but it’s not SUGARY at all.

such a lovely scent for spring! i was surprised how clean/musky this was- i was expecting something a lot more sweet and gourmand, but it has such an airy and slightly nutty cozy quality. it's like your lover's skin on a bright spring day while you're having a picnic. there is a bit of sweetness from the amaretto-style almond note, and definitely a salinity that contrasts it, making it more unisex and rounded out by the soft tonka and sandalwood in the base. not the best longevity but it's so lovely that it honestly doesn't matter!

yummy yummy yummy. the salt top note tones down the cherry and almond so well. blends nicely with the sandalwood. such a well done simple fragrance, reminiscent of something jo malone should be making if they didn’t miss the mark so much. beautiful unisex perfume that fades too soon

a more gourmand cutesy and comforting scent. this almond scent is sweet but not in a cloying way. to me its smells clean and soapy and becomes creamy as it dries down. absolutely love it.
