Macarons

I do absolutely love it! It is my favourite Kyse scent and overall, one of my favourites from solid collection of gourmand scents. This is funny thing to say since don't even like eating marzipan nor I'm a sworn cherry perfume fan. Thus I would probably not have gotten myself, but luckily I got a sample of Macarons with my order. This is my lesson to be more open minded. This is just a delicious, magical fruity custard goodness. This scent is like music, like the most pretty pastel macarons! One could compare them to Buontalenti by Profumo di Firenze or Glaze Exstazy by Simone Andreoli (or even Leisure In Paradise?), but Macarons is just way better than those two scents, a perfect pretty concoction. It is like a dream come true! Yes, there is a slight trace of strange side note, but barely noticeable, especially if you allow the scent to macerate a little. It does not bother me at all, there are other indie brands which are super popular and have way more prominent side notes. Macarons is also comparable to Yum Boujee Marshallow in a sense, only more gourmand and much stronger performance. Indeed, performance is exceptional and the deliciousnesy does not fade/settle down to some boring base notes, it's very consistent. A must have for sure at least for me, and for you - must try, event if you like me aren't crazy for marzipan or cherry. An incredible gourmand creation, cannot hype it enough ❤️❤️🤤

I ordered Kyse Frangipane al pistacchio and a small bottle of macaron and some others just to test. I sprayed on Macarons for the first time this morning and thought it was ok but nothing special, mostly just a blast of cotton candy-esque sweetness. But the more I've worn this all day I've been shocked to recognize this as pretty much a dupe to BR540 to my nose! Simply amazing because I hadn't heard of it touted as such. The only difference to my nose is occasional whiffs of a cherry medicinal quality which I adore. Better than BR540 because of this cherry edge. Very long lasting like BR540 as well. I'm in bed now and still smell the sweet wafts strongly after 12+ hours. I wasn't expecting this, I don't smell macarons per se but I am loving this. In.fact just as I typed that I smelled yet a new layer of whipped cream that I hadn't yet smelled. Yum!!! 6/21/25. Came back to edit this 2 years later as I had a hankering for my Kyse samples. Wow it's so much better now. The BR540 note I described below is completely gone and in its place is stronger cherry almond. Lasts so long too, I get wants all day and the next morning I still smelled it strong on my robe from the previous day.

My sample has been sitting for a few years now. I remember the original drydown when I first got it being funky and disappointing. Now that it's had time to macerate I decided to revisit it. What a difference! Similar opening both times, I get cherry upfront for the first couple minutes, which turns into an herbal medicinal cherry scent for a little bit. Think cough syrup or lozenges 🤢 Once the medicinal note passes it's a fluffy chiffon cake with a single drop of cherry flavor added to the batter. It's sweet, but not cloyingly so. 12 hours later I'm still getting wafts of freshly baked sugar cookies. I'm usually into more heady vintage incense/animalic perfumes but sometimes I want to smell edible and this scratches that itch. Similar to Jasmin Et Macarons (my previous Kyse favorite, now dethroned by this) but without the weird banana note if you sniff it up close. A crowd pleaser for sure.

First of all, whoa — this is so much prettier and wearable than I imagined it would be. This was included with my most recent order and I’m now placing an order for a full bottle, I’m that enamored with it. Fragrance is so personal and subjective, so I can’t fault people for not having as positive of an experience. I can’t say they’re wrong but I can say my experience with this scent is quite the opposite of what others are relaying below. Anyway, I’m not getting medicinal cherry at all and am getting a slightly smoky vibe thanks to the myrrh. It’s a true marzipan-cherry with a touch of heliotrope and overall quite balanced. I don’t get any heavy handed custard or spun sugar. I swear this could be a designer or niche release, very very well done! Feel like I’ve finally found MY cherry scent 🍒😍

Macarons is a new favorite of mine! It smells like sweet, nutty, sugar-coated, almond cookies! I purchased a 6 ml sample and after testing it once, I immediately ordered a full size 100 ml bottle— it’s that good! This projects well and lasts for hours on my skin. I’m so drawn to this scent because on one of my annual family vacations to the Blue Ridge Mountains many years ago I purchased an almond scented shea body butter and this smells extremely similar! I love how the scent transports me back in time. Plus, it smells heavenly! Overall, I’m elated to have added Macarons to my collection. It will be great for layering and is definitely one to try if you enjoy sweet, cherry, almond-like fragrances!
