Gourmand White Flowers

I just ordered this one and I cant wait to try it! I am currently on the hunt for a signature scent and have been trying different perfumes for over a year with no luck. I need something long lasting & versatile because my weather goes from extreme hot to extreme cold. My husband loves sweet caramel on me(Gold Couture) but it gets cloying in hot weather. I really hope Gourmand White Flowers hits the spot. Update 2/13/2025- this is a wierd one for me! I really had my hopes up, then after the first sprays I had to scrub it off. To me, it smelled like a musty, moldy, patchouli-like moldy BO. Not good. I kept coming back to it every few weeks and still had the same reaction. Fast forward to yesterday 2/12 and tried a full douse again just for the heck of it. Let me tell you, either my nose or the perfume evolved because it smelled waaayyyyy better. Good longevity on this one it lasted 8 hours at work. Update 2/27/2025 I have completely fallen in love with this scent! Excellent longevity with a beautiful composition. Intial spray is fresh and powdery, then becomes sweet florals for quite a while. 4-5hrs is where i gets magical, and I am left with musky, sweet, vanilla-ey goodness. This is now my signature scent❤️❤️ I'm buying my next bottle now so it can sit and macerate for a while before I need it.

my mother ADORES flowerbomb but never bought it bc she hates buying anything not on sale, so i went and bought it for her over the holidays. when i was trying out dossier, i decided to grab multiple scents we had the originals for at home to double check how close the dupes are, and to my mom's surprise, this is SPOT on. we sprayed both of them on paper and skin, and we genuinely couldn't tell a difference at all. i think the dry down may be sweeter than the original, but otherwise it still lasted over 5 hours on us and smelled lovely. since there's a $100 difference between them, my mom ended up asking me to return flowerbomb and kept this instead. they've started selling this in walmart too, so i highly recommend for affordability/accessibility!

It has a soft, sugary sweetness (I'm guessing this is the caramel, which surprised me that this was a note as affordable fragrances w/ caramel notes usually have a chemical, almost sour scent, but this doesn't do that at all), a powdery note, and for the first ~30 minutes I get a good amount of the white flower, which I love, although some people can be sensitive towards this so I think it is worth noting. It dries down and keeps the sugar, powder and musk, I don't get too much patchouli or vanilla though. I think this one is lovely, very fluffy and girly, with a bit of sensuality, I think it's wonderful, especially for the price too.

This is my favorite Dossier scent. It's the only one that isn't weak enough that I use it as a layering piece. Initial spray is a complex blast of florals, then dies down to a patchouli gourmand musk. Like other Dossier perfumes, the top and middle notes die off pretty fast so you're left with the base notes and that's the main reason you should use any dossier fragrance. Good cheap options for layering. This has inspired me to buy a decant of Flowerbomb, potentially even a full bottle. I'd like to experience the genuine complexity potential that I smell in this.

I actually think this is better than Flowerbomb. Flowerbomb is a bit sickly sweet and juvenile, while Dossier’s Gourmande White Flowers is on the fresher, more grown up side. The addition of the tea makes it fresher and the caramel gives it a buttery sweet undertone. I read someone else saying that this is a more grown up Flowerbomb and I totally agree. It has insane longevity, projects but not too much and smells expensive. Everywhere I go people make comments that it smells like Flowebomb but better! Best $29 I’ve ever spent.
