Gourmand Orange Blossom

I wasn't sure if I would like this one because when I smelled the original a long time ago (La Vie Est Belle) it gave me a headache. I was surprised because I'm a huge gourmand fan. With that being said, it's been a long time since I've actually smelled the original so maybe my nose has changed. I absolutely love this one, and this is my first Dossier buy (blind buy as well). It's very gourmand but not "sickly sweet." I can really smell the hazelnut and praline in the first sprays, and then the orange blossom comes out and just makes it an absolutely beautiful scent. It's a perfect spring/summer scent for sure. I lasts all day on me!

My first floral; saw it on sale for $8.50 and figured why not. I actually really loved this as someone who hates anything but super-sweet gourmands--the citrus and white floral openings are strong but not headache-inducing, and fades into a nice nutty praline that's light enough for the heat while keeping me happy. Pairs extremely well with Bath & Body Works's Touch of Gold.

I liked this more as my bottle aged. While this is definitely similar to LVEB I like that its not as sweet. This starts out orange citrusy and blackcurrant foward. Then the slight spiciness from the patchouli. Then the florals and vanilla comes through. This reminds me slighty of Coco mademoiselle and Viva La Juicy together. At times a very artifical smelling orange comes through but its tolerable. Ultimately this smells high-end and sophisticated while still being bright enough for summer.

Not a floral fan but relatively new to my fragrance journey so I wanted to buy more floral perfumes to see if there's anything I'd like. I ended up liking this perfume! especially the scent left on me after the opening. Happy that I found a delicate spring scent like this :) I have their ambery vanilla which I don't like at all. I also have their floral marshmallow which I slightly prefer more than this.

Just blind bought this. Not sure if I'm 100 percent on it yet. I usually go for sweeter, vanilla based fragrances. I did layer this with Pink Sugar and I think I prefer it that way. I'm very new to fragrances and I can't always pick out the different notes yet, but I definitely get orange blossom, Jasmine, and Patchouli, but not getting any of those base notes I was looking forward to.
