Gourmand Power

gourmand power by federico cantelli ♡🥛🍦🍨🍮 to my nose this is a very well blended perfume. all the other notes compliment the caramel so well i almost didn’t detect them. this fragrance reminds me of one of my favorite desserts dulce de leche but it really settles into a dulce de leche icecream the longer is sits on my skin with the vanilla, milk, and honey really poking through. on first spray where the alcohol is very strong like most perfumes this did remind me of kremas a haitian alcoholic drink that is very creamy and sweet. i can see how this can smell just like caramel to other people because it is very caramel heavy but in a very delightful way. i have a perfume to compare to this one that has caramel as the only note and it made me realize i enjoy caramel notes balanced out with other notes for more depth and balanced sweetness and this is what this fragrance delivers to my nose. it also reminds me of flan! the dry down is gorgeous and really makes me crave a sweet treat. i am really glad this was the biggest sample i chose out of all the samples i got. delicious delicious delicious.

Gourmand Power is true to its name; it's a powerful and realistic perfume that strongly reminds me of creme brulée and panna cotta desserts, makes you feel edible! I love the combination of the notes, to me it's more suitable in fall/winter season. Federico Cantelli is a young brand that's going to be successful, the price fo such perfumes is so good for the quality it provides. I can't really say if it's similar to other popular gourmands of these times, but it definitely doesn't feel synthetic; on the contrary, it feels realistic and delicious, it's a must-try if you like gourmands.

Unlike others, I get no maple syrup, and that’s a note I hate so I’m very sensitive to it. I just get an extremely delicious photorealistic mouthwatering blast of caramel and that kind of slightly salty sweet caramelized pudding. It’s so good. I prefer it over sticky dates because even though they’re very similar, this one doesn’t have that dark boozy afford sticky dates does. This has nothing on sticky dates as far as longevity or strength though.

This is absolutely delicious and full bottle worthy! Just got my bottle and oh my gosh, it is amazingly sweet, airy and sooo delightfully yummy!! Caramel, sweetness, cotton candy, milky/creamy custard and a a tiny amount of something like licorice but it’s wayyyyyy in the background. Perfection! ✨✨ Great lasting power and faaaaaaaaar better done that Bianco Latte. If you love gourmand scents, this is a must try!!

Vanilla wafers with some caramel. I like it, very yummy! Nice that it doesn’t cost a zillion dollars too! Be aware that the boxes on these are very generic and look like testers. It may bother someone. Obviously it’s keeping the price down so I personally am fine with it though I do enjoy a nice box.
