Éclair Affair

Update 1 - 14 Aug: It's been a bit around 10 days since I first tried this out of the box. This is weird, it's like it's a different fragrance! Now it is VERY similar to Bianco Latte with the extra coconut note. It blew my mind, it was so different at the first times I tried it, it was a powdery summery coconut heavy fragrance, now it's caramel Bianco Latte with a hint of milky gorgeous coconut. Holy smokes! My first impression was not the best on this, I was even planning on selling it but wow I think I'm falling in love with it now! I hope it won't change much more in the future, it's almost perfect now! Will update further if I notice changes. First impression: 06 Aug: I got this as a Bianco Latte dupe (I have several dupes of it, I like to collect them), but this is NOT like Bianco Latte. This is pure powdery sweet coconut with caramel. It didn't remind me at any point Bianco Latte (as I said I have multiple dupes of it and I also have the original BL). From the first spray it has a very prominent coconut scent that tends to be almost like a deodorant. It's not bad but... I can't explain it. It's too coconut-y if that makes sense, and it's a bit too sweet that it can become sickly sweet. Someone mentioned that this is like Victoria Secret Coconut Passion and while I understand where they are coming from, I also have Coconut Passion and they are not similar. Coconut Passion is tropical (almost sunscreen-y) coconut with Vanilla, Eclair Affair is cloying powdery super sweet coconut with caramel. On a positive note, it is very long lasting and for a freshly opened fragrance it has decent projection which I am guessing in time it will intesify.

Coconut pie—with extra caramel drizzle! That’s exactly what Éclair Affair smells like to my nose. I’m talking about those mini coconut pies made with coconut powder, milk, egg whites, sugar, and flour. The coconut here is fresh and wet, not dusty or dry at all. But thanks to the caramel, it’s definitely turned into a full-blown sugar bomb. I honestly really like this fragrance. It skips that rubbery, sneezy opening I get from the original Éclair. It’s also not as dense or thick, and it doesn’t have that underlying cherry note that Éclair carries. The opening is noticeably different and gives you a fun twist, but the dry down does get closer to Éclair—just sweeter and less powdery. Éclair Affair leans into coconut and caramel, feels lighter and airier, but it seems to either not work with my skin, or be lower performance wise. It feels a little bit flat and weak after an hour on my skin. That said, it’s still too early to compare the performance fully, since my decant is very new. I’ll keep testing and update if anything changes! Update: Yes! It changed and got much stronger performance. It projects 1 meter and last over 7 hours and the best part is that I don't go noseblind to it at all. With Lattafa's Eclair I go noseblind after 1 hour.

honestly I love this. I have many dupes of Bianco latte, because I really enjoy the dna profile. To me this is similar enough that you honestly don't need both, but this is like a softer and less rubbery Bianco latte/eclaire. I feel they have more spice and caramel. This is sweeter to my nose, and I get the reference to Frappuccino, cause the Tonka Bean could be perceived as coffee. But more in the way that it has that syrupy coffee syrup smell( kind of reminds me of the vanilla/spices in the og Ch good girl). this is more versatile, as Bianco latte is a tad much for summer, this is probably the version I would bring with me on vacation. Also this is more feminine to me than Bianco latte is. The added coconut makes this a more tropical version of Bianco latte to my nose. This doesn't project like Bianco latte, as it is sweeter. But Bianco latte is also a beast if you don't go nose blind to it! I also think this would be better for layering, as Lattafa eclair, Bianco latte, Nyla vanielle and caramel cascade seem to overpower the fragrance I layer it with, instead of blending together.

Well... it is dreamily sweet. The coconut is not strong but I can sort of smell it somewhere in hiding. I mostly smell a sweet vanilla that also maintains some freshness on the skin, maybe thanks to the jasmine. I also enjoy how the caramel blends together with the other scents in this fragrance! It’s really not too much although the first spritz would make you think so. It surely calms down and becomes cozy after 15-20 min. I also sense a hint of Berries. Maybe like a Berrie cobbler with coconut shavings on top with some vanilla syrup and caramel toffee on the side, but at the same time you smelll the bouquet of flowers on the table is mixing in with the desserts. But then again it’s really not all that in your face. Yes I want to believe that my skin smells this heavenly. That my clothes always carry this scent. It is so airy and sweet and I would love to be associated to a scent like this one. It’s well done. Everybody needs a couple of these gourmand Dubai perfumes because they are truly so high value for what you get in ML vs price.

Falling somewhere between but not exceeding both Maison Asrar’s Vanilla Voyage and Lattafa’s Eclaire. I personally wanted more of a creamy coconut from this. Something like a budget friendly Sphinx Egyptian Sugar Soirée was what I had in mind. This is more or less just another Bianco Latte dupe unfortunately. Does seem to be impressively longevitous though. Doused myself yesterday after showering at 3pm and this was still alive on my skin before showering again a full 24 hours later. Eclair Affair would have been more impactful for me if there weren't 8 other perfumes that smell like this currently occupying my collection; regardless this seems to be a crowd pleasing high quality offering likely to satisfy most gourmand lovers 😇

Ok this is so far my favourite vanilla coconut perfume! I was looking for a perfume version of native deodorant coconut vanilla scent, and this comes closest to what I had in my mind from that scent profile. Not same. But close. It is in the family of Lattafa éclair, but with added coconut. On first spray the coconut smelled rotten! But then it Maturated after a few days and the scent became smooth vanilla coconut, more so vanilla, sweetened with sugar powder and dipped in butter. No burnt smell, no plastic smell, no musky undertones! Dry down is slightly powdery, like sugar dust. Lasts a long time on clothes but is a light smell. It’s my favourite version of BL dupes so far.

I left a lukewarm review for this months ago...how things change! 😇 ‘Eclair Affair’ was middling at the beginning of summer, feeling like a flat alcoholic ‘Bianco Latte’ impression and coconut forward sister to ‘Eclaire;’ but time and maturation have done this insanely well! Long story short, this sweetened up and smoothed out while the now emboldened coconut has gone from stale, to beautifully toasted. It’s just lovely. ‘Eclair Affair’ and ‘Eclaire’ are my favorite fighters in the ‘Bianco Latte’ wars, this absolutely is the prettier sister though!🥰

I bought a sample and This smells exactly like Eclaire by Lattafa except it's less sickly sweet. I think this one is blended better then the other one. To me it's smells creamy, sweet, caramel-y vanilla. Its nice and simple making it a perfect signature gourmand scent. If you'd want more depth id probably layer it with something fruity. But if you'd like to smell like a sweet creamy dessert, this one is for you :)

To anyone thats wondering if it's the same as Eclair by Lattafa, i would say that this one is for sure softer and less harsh. Although i love Lattafs Eclaire, the opening is a tad bit screechy, which Eclair Affair is not. The drydown is really similar though so you probably dont need both, but i do cus im addicted lol

It does smell like eclaire by Lattafa. Of course there are some tiny differences, but in general you have one maybe you don’t need the other. It’s a great gourmand. Smells exactly like a delicious dessert. Edit: it’s super synthetic and then it dries down to butter.

I’m so surprised this is not talked about more. This is lovely, it has the original eclair DNA but a tiny bit sweeter with a big dose of caramel. This is fall- gourmand goodness. Honestly, 10/10! Inexpensive Burlington find ladies!!

I looove this fragrance, it is very similar to Eclaire from Lattafa but less sharp , smoother ! What I love most about it when I wear it , it puts me in a good mood !! So if u are a gourmand lover I stongly reccomend it !

I'm rarely moved to purchase gourmand fragrances, so Éclair Affaire was an outlier in my collection. I can’t compare it to anything I’ve previously tested or owned, especially since I sidestepped the Bianco Latte dupe craze. That makes this scent a novelty for me: a sweet butterscotch treat wrapped in a creamy coconut milk opening. It’s kittenish, indulgent, and unlike anything I’ve gone out of my way to wear before, I smell like the sweeties I adored as a child; one bite away from being gobbled up by the big bad wolf! Besides, others have dissected its development with great enthusiasm, so I’ll spare the lyrical waxing (I know you'll say—Lotte, you're already guilty of that!). I digress. My interest in this fragrance stemmed from its not so pompous pedigree, being a French Avenue 'creation', and that’s where my review actually begins. Against Miraj Exclusif and Sultana the Joyful, both of which I know intimately, Éclair Affaire feels less refined. The composition feels a tad rough around the edges, even after maturation. Longevity and sillage are thereabouts moderate, sillage being near to underwhelming. I’ve already used up 75% of the bottle, not out of 'obsession', but fragnecessity—frequent resprays being required to make it linger through the evening. On fabric, it fades before midnight; on skin, it steals away before you drift off. I've rambled long enough. What's the verdict, Lotte—you ask? It’s a strong like, not a love. And while I've enjoyed the brief experience of smelling like a candy I used to hide from my greedy siblings, I won’t be repurchasing this fragrance or scent profile.

Eclair affair smells like caramel. It smells like the candy malaco cola strings. Its very sweet, soft. But I like it. After 1-2 hours its more soft and more deep. But it stills smells like caramel. The coconut has a good balance in the perfume but its not dominant, its just makes the smell creamy. Lattafa Eclair smells more vanilla and white flowers and not as sweet as eclair affair. I not a big fan of lattafa eclair to be honest. It smells funky on clothes. I think it might be the musk that is too much. Essnce carashmellow smells more like vanilla, honey, marshmellow. Its a great perfume and long lasting and you smell like vanilla rolls all day. Its has white musk and I think that is what makes the difference. Its a great dupe for Bianco latte. I would say for sweet lovers and young people go for eclair affair. For women that like unisex sweet scent with musk go for lattafa eclair. And if you like sweet vanilla scents that are more feminine and fluffy go for essnce carashmellow.

Is it just me or does this smell way more sweet than Bianco Latte & Lattafa Eclaire? Like say BL is a coffee cup w/ 3 sugars, Eclair Affair would be 6 sugars. This is a VERY good dupe of BL, it's neck and neck between this and Lattafa Eclaire, but I find it a touch too sweet for me to wear, like diabetes sweet, almost headache toothache inducing, which makes Lattafa Eclaire more worth keeping for me over this I think. Luckily I didn't have to wait weeks to know what it actually smells like, it straight up smells like BL out of the box which was great. That was the case for me with Liquid Brun. It does smell like Werthers candy! So if you want to smell like so or for nostalgic reasons, it's worth a try! I do get coconut milk on the opening which was nice, but it sorta disappears on the dry down on my skin, but could be that the caramel is so strong that it just overpowers everything else. I also like the bottle, it's very pretty! Also keep in mind that I'm a guy

Although it carries a hint of coconut in the background, that note never takes center stage. I wouldn’t call it a dupe of Bianco Latte or Eclaire by Lattafa, because French Avenue has a much softer, calmer, and more approachable personality. On fabric, it lasts around 9 to 10 hours, with a projection that shifts from moderate to intimate as time goes by. If Bianco Latte or Eclaire feel too strong for you, chances are you’ll fall in love with this one. It’s like their gentler, more balanced sibling,where caramel and vanilla lead the composition, wrapping you in a creamy, comforting sweetness. The coconut lingers quietly in the background, adding warmth without demanding attention. Overall, it smells like dessert, a caramel flan lightly dusted with delicate flakes of coconut. A gourmand fragrance, yes, but with the tenderness of a soft embrace.

Fruity caramel candy. Eclair Affair smells like “kolasnören” here in Sweden. Very sweet and toffee-like. I get some fruitiness from this as well. The notes that stand out to me are caramel, coconut and tonka. It’s very smooth, but still strong to my nose. Creamier, lighter and more pleasant than Lattafa’s Eclaire. Eclaire has a weird rubbery note and smells horrible on clothes. This is the better option between the two. And this one is far better than Creme of Clouds. I just wish it was even creamier or fluffier. A bit more complex. I fear I’ll get bored of this easily. 7/10 from me and 10/10 from a random guy who said I smelled like a dream.

Didn’t like it much at first, I would find it too cloying. But, after a few months I’ve been wearing it and I do like it! It’s a thick caramel with hints of coconut. I personally get a smoky undertone when wearing it on my skin. It smells quite similar to Bianco Latte, however I much prefer the OG as I find it to be smoother. I have worn it to uni and as soon as I entered the room my lecturer complimented the sweet scent. It lasts a decent amount of time. I would mostly wear it during colder months rather than summer.

This is a beautiful gourmand scent. While it’s in the same family as bianco latte, Eclaire and the rest, it’s not exactly the same. I find that it’s missing the milk and honey accords in those scents. It reminds me strongly of a toffee eclair candy. Very sweet and creamy. Only for gourmand or very sweet fragrance lovers.

I love it! Very smoothening and comforting absolutely addictive.. not a projecting kind of scent but I enjoy it too much, also not a bianco latte dupe it's a coconut covered vanilla milk cake without being heavy on any accord at all
