Accident À La Vanille - Madeleine de Proust

My wardrobe is freely accessible to my adult daughters, but this I had to hide from them! Madeleine de Proust really is everything that has been written, and yes, that smell like "popcorn" what actually coming from such so heavy butter, that even resembles me delicious pipe tobacco too, and just makes my brain's neutrons gallop like crazy... the smell couldn't be any richer without getting clogged. The experience is equivalent to eating some fine art pretzel. Sooo satisfying. Although that buttery biscuit shows in the background through the fragrance's life, the drydown raise up whit delicious Vanilla...and rich apricot. That apricot gives the scent a mature, even vintage-style expensive feel, and that's why this scent is, to me, so easy to wear. This vanilla is deep, but not sharp, not brutal, not nauseously childish either. I think this is perfect vanilla for adult taste too. I just admire this creation.

This perfume is SO UNDERATED!! It is a 10/10 for me. Perfect Vanilla Cookie scent with some Juicy Peaches+Coconut. The combo of peaches and coconut together makes a new fruit note - it doesn't really smell like PEACHES. Or like COCONUT. (And definitely not a sunscreen coconut - this is a straight Gourmand fragrance!). The projection is really good - a good 6.5/10, so above average. Lasts long enough for me to enjoy the scent bubble. I haven't noticed it fading too quickly but I don't know if it will last 8 hours plus. This is the Peachy+Vanilla fragrance I've been looking for!! I don't think enough people have gotten their noses on this one. Get yourself a decant or a bottle if you are a gourmand lover and have been looking for good peach perfumes... another good Peach is Vanille 12:00 (not full-on gourmand but gorgeous).

I love this gourmand line from Jousset. When I saw Luckscent had it again I had to add it to my collection. Normally I would not find butter smelling fragrances good for perfume, but this is a well balanced fragrance. The fruit comes forward on my skin, and it gives a cozy, creamy vibe. I would say this is more of a Fall/Winter scent. People compared this to Bianco Latte...which I can see the similarity as far as the cozy, creamy vibe...but this is different. I would say if you own one and not the other that it would be safe to have both in your collection. If you are not a gourmand lover, this line is absolutely not for you, because each scent smells like a sweet dessert. If you do love gourmand then I would def check this out.

Wow, this is stunning. A warm, peach tart. This has turned into my signature scent. I absolutely adore the opening. Syrupy, sweet peach with buttery cookies. The coconut is there, but just adds warmth and gives it a more “baked goods” feel. The heart of coconut worried me at first upon looking at the notes, but it works really well with the Accident A La Vanille base. The DNA from the original remains, but the butter makes it much richer. I never get popcorn from this. I bake a lot, and it really does remind me of a peach cobbler or tart. A creamy, decadent treat throughout.

EDIT: Coming back to write a revised review . I tested it a few more times and the magic is in the dry down. IT'S A GOURMAND GODDESS!!! I just purchased a full bottle. It opens with a burst of apricot and coconut. I know, right..but WAIT!!!! In the next few minutes, it begins to dry down and you feel as if you're in the middle of a French patisserie in Paris. The biscuit/shortbread note is so buttery and creamy. It's just so hard for me to describe. This perfume is probably the oddest, yet beautifully scented fragrance that I've come across in a very long time. Truly unique.
