Oui Plus

Absolutely fantastic! I have had this for about a year and didn't like it at all the first time I wore it. On my first wearing, all I got was quite strong and scratchy green patchouli. Yes, there was sweetness, but it was absolutely overwhelmed by the patchouli, a note I frequently don't at all enjoy. So, I hid this in the back of my perfume stash and left it there. I am only now beginning to understand what a profound impact hormones and timing can have on the way perfumes are experienced and the notes that are emphasized by skin. In contrast to last year's experience, in the past few days, I have fallen fast and hard in love with Oui Plus! Now, this fragrance is a perfect balance of boozy dusty cocoa, fluffy marshmallow, and cookie that simply screams S'MORE! It also slightly reminds me of a funnel cake for some reason...:P The patchouli is just faintly in the background, keeping the overall experience from ever becoming too sweet. It grounds and balances everything and never takes over. I am now 100% on board with all the love for this fragrance. It might even overtake my love for my favorite Kyse perfume - Sucre et Fleurs. It is truly a glorious gourmand for all, as it never becomes overly sugary, a quality that can quickly lead to nausea for me. However, it is strong and lasts a long time, so for me, one spray is just perfect. Great value and great scent!

This summer has been one long heat wave, so now that it's finally over I find myself craving sweet, substantial scents a little earlier in the year than usual. A new batch of Kyse samples was just what the doctor ordered! First up is Oui Plus, and from the bottle it smells fantastic: that same wonderful graham cracker note from my beloved Confit de Rose, but this time served with pure dark chocolate and coffee instead of rose jam, and a mild, dusty patchouli in the base. Warm and sweet and just utterly, irresistibly delicious - not something I'd wear in a context where I want to be taken seriously, and easy to overdose on in general, but extremely satisfying when the time is right. On my skin, the graham cracker note disappears more or less entirely almost immediately on application. Too bad, but instead I get something else that's just as good or even better: finally, a true chocolate scent that really works for me, without either going too smoky or too synthetically sweet! (Don't get me wrong, of course this is VERY sweet, but it's sweet in a balanced way that doesn't make my teeth ache preemtively like many modern women's fragrances do, for instance) So I guess Kyse has done it again, and this one will have to go straight onto my wish list once my generous sample is used up.

First impressions (decant): On paper: I’m a hater of gourmand, and when I smelled this on paper it’s a omg! This is a chocolate smore 😍. This kind of remind me of a whiff of waffle cone by imaginary authors, only less synthetic more loud, and more of a toasted chocolate. Yes! This smelled so good. This smells like a well rounded chocolate. Edit 1: Is anyone on getting choco musk from this only way better? This is giving you’re baking chocolate cookies! Edit 2: After Trying this one for a few days of so, I would have to reward this as the best foody gourmand I've ever tried! I really Really Really like this one. If you are a foody gourmand person you might Love this one ALOT. I'm not a gourmand girl, and I'm really loving this one. Does give me chocolate chip cookies, but with a smoked graham cracker at the end, that I'm really loving. Summary: Smells like: Chocolate Chip cookies, but a little burnt in a good way. Family of: Choco musk (+chocolatey, +more Gourmand) Sillage: medium for me (Although I be it gets richer when is macerates) Verdict: Maybe- It's so good, but I'm not really a foody gourmand girl because it makes me hungry, and want to binge on whatever it smells like. I can definitely see it for someone else though.

Kyse Perfumes Oui Plus seems to be the most-reviewed and highest-regarded fragrances in the whole line, and it's not difficult to see why, given that it's a mellifluous, sweet mix of smores--that is, graham cracker, marshmallow, and cacao--with the more tempered note of coffee and woody, earthy contributions of balsam, patchouli, and styrax. Overall, I get comparatively little of the patchouli and styrax, my experienced instead being ruled by the sweeter elements. In fact, I regard Oui Plus as downright unusually sweet, even for me, a lover of gourmand and vanilla especially, for whom a scent is usually never too sweet. Mainly this is in contrast to the other Kyse Perfumes offering, J, which departs more from the sweet-dominant into a mix of sweet and woody, light and dark, and I enjoy J's duality a bit more than Oui Plus' almost heady, sweet dominance. Still, Oui Plus is quite enjoyable and yet another markedly awesome gourmand from this line. It does not quite project as much as J but is still pretty good, especially for its modest cost of $52 for 60ml, almost hard to believe. I remain eager to try the rest of my lot of samples. 8 out of 10

Official notes are graham cracker, marshmallow, cocoa absolute, Peru balsam, patchouli, styrax and burnt coffee. This is the loveliest chocolate perfume I've ever found! The most prominent notes to my nose are cocoa, graham cracker and coffee. The cocoa is on the lighter end of dark chocolate, the coffee brings warmth to and supports the cocoa, Terri's characteristic graham cracker accord is wheaty, vanillic and crumbly just like in real life. The patchouli is particularly sweet and chocolate like, also it plays a big role in adding that almost gritty starchy texture together with the crackers. This is without doubt my all time favourite chocolate scent. I was not very impressed with other chocolate scents I've tried - they are either too weak, bland, figurative, dark or masculine. This is unique, rich, feminine and true to life. It even beats Guerlain's Gourmand Coquin which I also love dearly. Strongly recommended! UPDATE: I gave a friend a decant of mine, she said everyone in her class commented how she smelled like cookies and chocolate. This is also my most complimented perfume, and the only perfume I've used up and repurchased.

before oui plus leaves me with crumbs in my bra and chocolate in my teeth, it's sweet enough to build me a massive campfire. it's winter now, and i need light from whatever slips it into my pocket. incredibly, this fragrance's fire doesn't smell like carbon or reality -- it's a balsam heart, which, when cracked like a plate, reveals a spilled bag of ghirardelli chocolate chips. my expertise tells me 60% cacao. there's a little bit of continental breakfast coffee too. fresh! but nothing fancy. the senses don't need fancy, they just want creamy, cakey memories stuck to your tablecloth. when i was a kid with boogers all over my cheeks, i'd bite into two kit kats at once. then i'd cry, or my knee would start bleeding. like childhood, oui plus is incredible for approximately two hours, and then it exits the scene. you ate all the cookies. the marshmallows got so big in the microwave, they turned into clouds and floated over the manhattan bridge. i'll dream hard, one day, and i'll catch up to them.

This is the first Kyse I have sampled. I have tried three other chocolate fragrances (Chocolate Ganache by Ganache Parfums, Chocolate Perfume Oil by Dame Perfumery, and Patchouli Cacao Perfume Oil by Alkemia). This is different from those but probably most similar in feel to the Patchouli Cacao, which I also love. I probably would not be able to describe the graham cracker note if I hadn't read it, but, yes! Crunchy, dry, graham cracker, particularly in the opening. How ridiculous of me to call a smell "crunchy", but crunchy it is! I also get the chocolate, to be sure. However, the chocolate is not overt and in-your-face. I bet that this is what is meant by well blended. There is also very definitely a non-food aspect, which I suspect is the patchouli (or maybe the peru balsam or the styrax, neither of which do I know.) Not surprising to me that I like this so much. It is lovely, yummy, and really something special. A gourmand lover's delight. Sexy heaven in a bottle. Well done, Terri Bozzo!

A hyper realistic warm and gooey s'more, but it is still wearable. 10/10. Oui Plus is not a fancy, bitter, artisanal dark chocolate fragrance. This is the milky and sweet Hershey’s bar from my childhood. It is balanced perfectly in thirds, chocolate , marshmallow and the graham cracker. The graham cracker note is so realistic that I can almost feel the texture of the crumbs. Personally I prefer more marshmallow, so I usually pair this with Deliza de Marshmallow to amplify the sweet fluffy nuances of Oui Plus. The performance is excellent. Projection and silage is moderate. Longevity is 8-10 hours. When this was new I did smell woody incense in the base that I think is the Peru Balsam, but after six months I do not pick that up. All I smell now is s'mores. I do not pick up on the patchouli or the coffee either. But when layered with YSL Black Opium, I get the bitter coffee note, and that combo makes Oui Plus sexier and more complex.

This is truly such a nice, realistic chocolate fragrance that's just so pleasing to smell. Super rich, deep cocoa smell with the most delectable hint of crumbly cookie. For sure a crowd pleasing, edible scent. So good in the fall and winter. My only "gripe" I guess you could call it is that it's missing the burnt marshmallow aspect you get with a S'More. To me, this fragrance smells literally exactly like a Keebler fudge stripe cookie. Which... I'm not complaining, haha. It also has a tiny bit of a Mocha vibe with the coffee added. Simply delicious. A cheaper and really similar alternative to this is Bath & Body Works Hot Cocoa & Cream. I'll likely end up buying a full bottle. I think it's such a fun fragrance. 8.5/10

Luckscent has slightly different ingredients: Oui Plus! Fragrance Notes Graham cracker, marshmallow, cocoa absolute, Peru balsam, patchouli, styrax and a bit of burnt coffee. ...which I can smell the graham cracker note that Luckyscent mentions. I def like this...I think it would be good for layering in the Fall and Winter. It's def one of my favorite chocolate scents that I've tried. Like other chocolate scents I've smelled it's not a strong projector, but has a cozy/warm quality about it. If you are not into edible gourmands this is probably not a safe blind buy, but if you appreciate foody/gourmand scents then this is def a vibe.

I am absolutely in love with this scent. Upon first spray I was immediately captivated by its rich, realistic essence of graham cracker and chocolate. As it settles, gooey marshmallow comes through. It literally wafts through the air off my skin and I constantly smell myself when I have this on. It’s incredibly comforting and by far the most realistic gourmand I own. I’ve honestly never smelled something like this, of such great quality and it lasts on me through the day, night, and into the next day when I wear it. This is such an underrated fragrance. I could go on but I think you get the idea. It’s truly a LOVE for me.

Wow! Unique, rich, addictive! Just six ingredients yet complex. Whole-grain graham crackers upfront settle into a dark-chocolate-mocha brownie (with a pinch of earthy patchouli) baked crisp-brown around the edges. Or perhaps a French chocolate silk pie in a graham-cracker crust. Kahlúa-colored fluid in a plain bottle. One of the dessert-gourmand eau de parfums for which Kyse Perfumes is renowned. Oui Plus! “Yes, more!"✿ Launched 2015 In my Top 5 Scent family: Amber Vanilla Longevity on me: super long-lasting

A s'more with some complexity! I get a lot of dark chocolate with a bitterness from the coffee that keeps it from being overly sugary. The graham cracker is very detectible and quite realistic. The marshmallow, on the other hand, is present, but much lighter than the other notes. I think that the burnt coffee keeps this scent from being too candy-sweet while also adding that toasty quality that is so vital to a s'more's composition. I reserve Oui Plus for cooler evenings spent at home.

OuiPlus...My favorite chocolate scent. Chocolate-coffee graham cracker goodness. Just pulling off the cap I was greeted by the graham cracker note. Back up bottle worthy. Sensational gourmand. Terri added two samples of her newest perfumes "J" and "L" and wrapped professionally and arrived safely via priority mail. If you like your chocolate dark this is for you. I layer Douceur Brulee with it for the ultimate chocolate/caramel scent. Chocolate tuberose? Layer Oui+ with Madonna TOD

Another 10/10 realistic gourmand from Kyse. I was nervous about the patchouli note, luckily I don’t smell it at all. It might lend to the strength of this perfume cause it is STRONG especially for a gourmand. But not in a “perfumey” way in a you just walked into a confined space where they were making s’mores MINUS the smoke smell (which i don’t like anyway). I can’t speak to the longevity of this because I have not worn it all full day yet. But I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t last.

This is the best chocolate fragrance I have ever smelt. Unlike chocolate greedy with its protein shake resemblances. This is pure chocolate brownies with sprinkles of graham crackers on my caramel kissed skin. The longevity is absolutely amazing!!! Sillage is great as well. 10/10 Update- multiple compliments with people saying I smell like some sort of dessert. Like cupcakes, cookies or cake. Also, Terri's hair/skin oil is awesome as well.

I actually find this to be similar to By the Fireplace. It is more gourmand of course (but I get a lot of sweetness from BTF too), but they do share the peru balsam note. Pretty realistic smores over a campfire, there is a bitterness which reminds me of a burnt marshmallow. My husband told me I smelled exactly like a smore which is what I was looking for! It has great projection and longevity too, amazing perfume for the price.

Funny, I’ve tried plenty of expensive niche and designer chocolate-based perfumes and this is probably the best of them all (and certainly the least expensive). Very delicious and comforting to my nose. There are no weird notes or accords to try to lend it some uniqueness or something- just a straight up creamy, rich dark chocolate truffle perfume. Lovely! 2025 edit: still delicious but has that indie perfume plasticky thing

Love this deep chocolate chip cookie!!! I've tried others but nothing...compares...to you..(OUI PLUS)!!! Longevity is awesome 8-10+ hours Sillage is awesome. People can smell you many feets away and they will love What they're smelling. The quality is up there with the very very expensive fragrances, but you pay less. Bottom line is in love this fragrance and will continue to purchase it.

I think UnearthlyApothecary really nailed it with the dusty graham cracker analogy. This is a comforting, warm, gloriously chocolatey, satisfying fragrance that is very reasonably priced. I've enjoyed most of Kyse's offerings; they're excellent!

This is my holy grail chocolate fragrance, it's satisfying in a way the others just aren't. It almost has 'texture' to it if that makes sense in a smell, a bit grainy like a biscuit. If you want rich chocolate, this definitely hits the spot!

It's a photorealistic s'more. The toasted marshmallow, the rich chocolate that is somewhat, but the right kind of not very sweet, it's all there. To me, it brings warmth to cool days, and is great for the season. It's absolutely delicious!

Haven't even opened the bottle and it is photorealistic smores just handling it. And it smells like real chocolate not tootsie rolls or syrup but melted chocolate bar. The graham cracker is so real. Hope it wears like this.

Omg! Chocolate graham crackers! With a syrup under layer! This smells almost like Oreos or some other cookie. So so SO good. Intoxicating in all the right ways. One of the most perfect choclate fragrances.

Obsessed! I am a teacher, and in every single class period yesterday, students said it smelled like cookies! I'm talking about students in the BACK of the class!

Buttery chocolate scent but with a coffee/boozy note to keep it from being too syrupy sweet. It's delightful and I can see myself buying a full size.

Mmmm smores!! I get the graham cracker and dark chocolate in the opening with a hint of burnt coffee.

Like most the perfumes from Terri ive smelled(who is a really nice person that ive talked to by the way), this is also a very foody and gourmand fragrance to the point boarding on novelty. Not that it doesnt smell good, because it does, but they are quite foody so be warned in that aspect. Although to say performance wise they are quite good for what you are paying, and they are all priced well so the "novelty" factor shouldnt be to much of a factor I think. Anyway what I get out of this is a S'mmore of course more or less. However instead of a real life S'more that you make. This is more of S'more topping that you that find at the store, or a pre made S'more snack mix if anyone has ever eaten those before. The graham cracker at the beginning is very strong, but as this dies down you get more of that marshmallow and chocolate mix coming into play. After that the marshamallow is the next of the 3 to die down, and the cool tinge from the marshamallow(again I say cool tinge because this is a snack mix sorta marshmallow imo)you get more nice chocolate syrup smell. And finally at the end of the fragrance your left with a sorta smokey/incense chocolate. I guess you could say thinking of smokey chocolate does this smell like slumber houses ore dry down? Maybe its the same vibe, but instead of being straight up smokey that styrax sorta smoke/incense I think tingles your nose more so than it is a "rougher" smoke. If that makes sense? Anyway a lot of styrax and chocolate basically. Anyway so in short, beginning S'more mix, that becomes a sorta delicous chocolate syrupy sorta smell, that dies down to a sorta nose tingling chocolate incense. Although it is pretty novelty smelling, its a good smelling, and I have gotten compliments on it while trying it out. Not the most manly smelling thing obviously but you get the idea. Also rather than a S'more scent it self though, while wearing this I think you can actually look at this fragrance as just a chocolate scent period. Because besides when the graham cracker is very strong at the beginning thats basically what I took this as.

Not a exact review on this as ive done one before. Which a TLDR would be, although I don't think it smells like a smore per se, it more so smells like a "fake" smore topping you put on something. A premade smore mix candy kinda thing. Which don't get me wrong I do think smells good, and ive gotten compliments on it. And I also would say is a fragrance if you like chocolate fragrances you should check this out. So why am I writing a review here again though? OK so it's not on fragrance or whatever but on the topic of s'more fragrances. I recently got DUAs Camp du Félicité which is not listed on fragrantica so ill just write it here for the time being and why its relevant here. So the original dua fragrance was actually very unique smelling. And although I don't think it necessarily smelled like a smore. It was for a brand that is generally considered a clone brand a very unique smelling fragrance to me. Smelled like pouring some festive alcoholic drink over a camp fire of crisp almost citrusy graham crackers, that then once lit on fire, the golden sparkles of the embers then attached to the marshamllow forming a crisp golden gooey marshmallow. Which again although not a smore smell, was very unique in its own way... However now there is a 2023 version of this fragrance and I got it just on a whim since I had a coupon.. Welp... Apparently its just a clone now of this.. oui plus. Which blows my mind since its still being listed as a "original" fragrance. Main differences I guess between this and Oui plus is oui plus has stronger chocolate smell, and the dua graham cracker is much stronger. Anyway blows my mind why a company that is generally considered a clone brand would change one of their few original fragranes and then make it a clone of another while still listing it as a original. Really really stupid.. But hey just in case you were wondering.

My favourite scent by Terri is finally in the database. I'm so glad I ordered a small bottle of this when she first released it. On me, it smells like chocolate and patchouli with a dark element to it; that being the burnt coffee note. I do get a bit of the graham cracker, and marshmallows (s'mores), but it's not overwhelming. A little bit of chocolate heaven gone dark; I simply love it! This one is less sweet; more unisex, and great for layering. The longevity with this one is impressive. Dark chocolate and sweet patchouli make Oui Plus a must try for chocoholics and gourmand lovers! FYI Terri fans: I just read in the news section of her website; she'll be releasing a new hair/skin oil soon. It will be 100% argan oil lightly scented with some of the Perfumes by Terri scents! She's also working on a new tobacco/oud scent with a gourmand leaning. Just thought I'd share the exciting news! xx

This is one of the strongest performing gourmands in my collection. And while it does smell like crackers /biscuits plus sweet cocoa with a touch of hazelnut and perhaps some marshmallow, it also gives a bit of parfumey vibe (almost leaning to old lady perfume, but really not as bad as it sounds). The perfumey side must be the styrax and it is especially prominent up close, but not in the sillage, also more prominent at the beginning of the wear. But this is what makes this perfume last crazy well and it also projects /creates scent bubble likes there is no tomorrow. I would recommend it to anyone who finds any other gourmands too weak or not lasting enough. I know this sounds like a mixed review, but overall I really like Oui Plus

This one has a similar vibe in the first stages to Chocolate Greedy by Montale, but with a good dose of green patchouli (indeed like marijuana) and crunchy, salty(!)-sweet graham crackers. Although the drydown gets more patchouli centered and less gourmand, overall it's still been a while that I smelled something so outstanding and unique. Oui Plus! reminds me in the very last stage of the drydown a liiitle bit on Chanel Coromandel.. Probably because it get's drier and lighter, turning from dark/milk chocolate into a white chocolate smelling scent with patchouli.. Overall Oui Plus! is more gourmand centered, plus sweeter and Coromandel is more patchouli centered, more perfumey like.

Deep, chocolatey, and a bit earthy. I can see lots of people enjoying this fragrance, but the peru balsam is a tiny bit too strong, the coffee a bit too bitter, and the marshmallow too faint (near nonexistent) for my liking. That being said, the chocolate that I get in the sillage is quite delicious. I don’t get patchouli in the dry down, but it comes through just a tad about an hour in. Has moderate sillage and lasts about 7 hours on me. I saw that this was compared to Maison Mataha Brownie Pop but I find Brownie Pop very nutty and nowhere near as chocolate heavy.

I was pleased to try a sample of this a few months ago. Simply put, it smells like a delicious pot brownie. The patchouli is a bit marijuana-like to my nose -- in a good way! -- and the chocolate is sweet and decadent. I don't detect the graham cracker much; it's not nearly as prominent as it is in Confit de Rose, another one from her line. It's more sophisticated and complex than a basic s'more, and it's well worth a try.

Oh my goodness this is everything I’ve been looking for in a s’mores scent! It’s perfectly balanced all though on my skin the coffee note takes the forefront, that’s ok. I get the essence of when you get a craving a s’more but you make it at home on your kitchen stove. Absolutely delectable! I can’t say enough positive things about this scent. I am completely enamored!!!

This is a very delicious, realistic smores scent. On me the graham cracker comes to the forefront in a very strong way, with the marshmallow and chocolate hiding in the background. It is summer here, so I'm wondering if the cold weather of autumn and winter will make the other notes shine more. This is very natural smelling and not fake/chemical in any way.

This is mostly a graham cracker scent on me, with some marshmallow powdered sugar and a little cocoa powder. The graham cracker scent is a novel note, but I really wish that this smelled like the decadent melted chocolate and toasted marshmallow goo of a real s'more. It's nice, but I don't wear it often. It's not the chocolate scent I was hoping for.

This is seriously a gourmand masterpiece. I wouldn't eat anything that smelled like Mugler's Angel. The closest thing to this is Guerlain's Elixir Charnel Gourmand Coquin, and even that has a sour note floating over it that makes it totally unwearable for me. If a s'more could be sexy -- this is it.

I'm on my third fragrance from Kyse, and I can say if you like gourmands, this is the house for you. I get a buttery graham cracker. Nothing more, nothing less. I just ordered Douceur Brulee. Lovely scent. I also have Fumee Vanille. My goodness. Smokey Vanilla Extract.

I do love my gourmands, but this one might be TOO realistic for me. it’s almost like... too heavy? it’s hard to describe. you will definitely smell like a s’more but i just think it’s too much. I wanted a light, fluffy s’more but this is a dense, decadent s’more.

It smells like a caramel/very sweet candle. It lasts a long time too & is powerful.

I had high hopes for this one but its not my cup of tea. it smells like cracker/biscuits - chocolate biscuits. very buttery, nutty.. I prefer more lactonic, caramel scents. this is not sweet scents, i would say that chocolate is more dark chocolate than milk chocolate. for me this is average scent and I love Kyse, i have some great jams from Kyse like coco vaniglia

I have mixed feelings because sometimes it smelled like smores and other times it smelled like smores popcorn. Skin/clothes chemistry kinda dictate your result here, I feel.

I get chocolate, coffee and a boozy note. It’s not very feminine / delicate. Not a safe blind buy. Projection is insane. Longevity fine.

It's the dead of Winter where I live now, and I thought I would leave a few thoughts on this scent. First of all, I do get the "Smore's" reference and sensation this scent sought to conjure. It's very successful. Most prominently is the graham cracker note. Then the melted chocolate, with a fluffy marshmallow peeking underneath. But It's mostly about the honeyed graham cracker exterior. It smells like a toasted smore, there is a bit of smokiness underneath. This fragrance is very strong and long lasting. A half a spray on one of my wrists filled the entire room like an intense candle. Speaking of candles, this is a fragrance that has that "quality" of ingredients. Smells like it should be a candle burning in the home, and not be worn on skin. Quite a few (Though not all) of Kyse/By Terri's perfumes give this impression. It may be the type of fragrance oils, or it may be the concentration that is used. I find the EDP sprays are very thick and smell like very little alchohol has been mixed in. Another thing for me is that this scent is so gourmand, that the emotion it brings to mind when I smell it is not that I am wearing a beautiful fragrance, but that I am smelling a delicious dessert and it makes me hungry. That isn't really the sensation that I'm trying to cause for myself. Maybe others, but I'd think that after a few hours, especially if wearing this scent at work, it'd get a bit tiresome craving dessert the entire day. It's just a bit too gourmand and realistic for my tastes. Which may not be a fault for others, maybe that's exactly what you're looking for. I'd highly recommend this brand then. However, I like my fragrances to be more on the line between smelling entirely edible, and smelling like a nice perfume. So this one, while enjoyable for a little while (it got old very quickly for reasons that I mentioned, and the fact that it is 100% linear and never changes), will not be a future purchase for me.

Just got my first round of 12 Kyse samples so I am wearing them all this week, one in morning and one at night. They last only a few hours it seems so it's working out. Upon first spray, Oui Plus was a headache-inducing, saccharine, chemical hairspray type of scent, but luckily it mellowed out after about 30 minutes into a decent chocolate scent with a hint of marshmallow. It's pretty simple and smells like chocolate. There isn't much more to say. I'm on Kyse sample number 3 and I'm starting to see a pattern. The scents are nice, simple, gourmand scents but I am really getting a headache with each one and finding them horribly synthetic, I am sorry to say. I feel bad even saying anything negative because I hear great things about Kyse and the nose/owner but I'm not sure these are for me. I will definitely get through all 12 before I judge the house fully but I own many chocolate scents that I find are just sooooo far superior. One example in the same price range is Lush I'm Home, which is just a triumph of a chocolate scent and smells incredibly complex, rich, and natural. Oui Plus also reminds me a bit of Gourmand Coquin, and I know G.C. is way more expensive, but I think it's just far superior of a scent and so I don't feel the need to try Oui Plus again. Needless to say, I will be "spraying forward" my sample :/ Edit: It FINALLY mellowed out after an hour and smells softer and less synthetic, but I'm not sure I can manage the headache phase every time I wear it, so therefore my initial review still stands. But I will say it does get better over time.

This could be a nearly perfect chocolate fragrance, but something feels off here. As with almost all the Kyse offerings I've tested, there seems to be an inexplicable note or two thrown in that undermines an otherwise gorgeous scent. Perhaps the nose behind this brand feels they won't be taken seriously unless a classic base note, other than vanilla, is part of the mix, yet their choices seem random and out of place. It may just be a personal thing as it doesn't seem to bother others.

It’s giving perfumey graham crackers. My skin brings out a soapiness that you would not want in your gourmand, like I’m serving you graham crackers in a bowl that was washed with powdery scented bar soap and not rinsed off properly. I believe the issue is the peru balsam, which is often used alongside cacao. I’m learning that this is not a winning combo for my skin and nose.

This smells like buttered bread to me. But having now read the notes and seen what it's supposed to smell like I guess I get the idea. It does smell smore like. But very candle-esque, you know when it's really thick and overwhelmingly projecting. The dry down is just all butter for me though. 4/10
