Cookie Crave

This one’s super interesting. Starts off cookies and cream- that flavor of Oreos smashed into ice cream. The chocolate fades a bit as the milk comes up- I get more milk than the cookie in the heart. It kind of goes back and forth between chocolate milk and butter cookie with milk, with the milk being dominant. Around hour 4 the whipped cream is blending with the milk nicely. Surprisingly the whipped cream stays projecting about 8 inches as it fades around the 12 hour mark. I really enjoyed this on her Edit: one month maturation later: the cocoa at the beginning became more realistic and smoothed in, but fades out quicker than before. The butter in the opening is a lot clearer- it’s nice and comforting. So the initial blast is now more cookies and cream than Oreo, but the cocoa does fade into the background faster. With the more buttery presence it makes the overall opening more like preparing the cookie dough, or how a bakery would smell with butter in the air. The cookie note does come in earlier now during the transition to the heart and mixes with the butter nicely to present a nice butter cookie. At this point the cocoa is fully gone- no more chocolate milk like the fresh bottle. By the time the heart is fully in it does become milk dominant- like the butter cookie has been submerged into the milk and is floating at the top. The heart remains milk dominant which is wonderful and leads into the whipped cream ending real nicely. The whipped cream was still going on her 8 hours in- we tried layering a fruity scent Khair Fusion which made an effect like gummy bears and cream. So by the time this settles, or even if you want to layer the milk heart this seems like a great base for layering. Overall I’m happy with how this is maturing and coming more focused as a milk-centric fragrance. No more peaks of chocolate milk right now, but I’ll do one more update at the 2 month point to see where this settles as it stabilizes and completes its maturation.

It's a biscuity version of choco overdose, which is just straight up pure chocolate goodness, but I prefer this out of the two. I get those notes of butter and bread, which then mixes with the cacao. It smells like a bakery! Very photorealistic which may not be some people's cup of tea. Again, this is a true gourmand. The bottles are also very weighty and cute, which I appreciate considering that this is just 75ml, and lattafa usually does 100 ml for the same price point. additional: while very cute and weighted, it is so difficult to grip the bottle while pressing down on the sprayer. It's just a little too wide for my hands. update: after wearing this for a day i can say that longevity on me is lacking. Also later on I asked someone if they could smell it on me and they unfortunately couldn't unless they really lean in and sniff my arm

Not oreos but chocolate milkshake 🍫🥛 Last one I'm buying from this collection because in my opinion none of the lattafa "give me gourmands" really smell like the name.. (Apart from Berry on Top. ) Cookie Crave doesn't smell like oreos at all and certainly not like cookies; it's milky, lightly coconuty and has a hint of cocoa. It's very light, It reminds me so much of a chocolate milkshake or Cocoa puffs cereals (coco pops for my europeans). I think it fits more into a "chocolate milk" category than "cookies" tbh. Don't get me wrong, it's very good, but that's not the scent I was essentially looking for ! It's maybe worth to try but if you're really looking into a super realistic cookie... Cookies & Cream by tubbees is the best one out there. 🍪✨

I don't understand how people claiming to love photorealistic gourmands say they don't like this perfume cause this is a gourmand lover's dream. Opens up as a chocolate cookie-very heavy on the chocolate/cacao side-and evolves into a more milky vanilla chocolate chip cookie as it settles. Great for layering with vanillas or experimenting with different gourmands, I've tried it with a strawberry body mist and it smelled like a chocolate strawberry cake. It's sweet, cozy and comforting, and very photorealistic. I only wish the longevity and projection were better, you really need to overspray to get some performance out of it but it's not a huge problem considering the price point

I’m absolutely in love with Cookie Grave! It smells exactly like dropping an Oreo into a warm cup of coffee. It’s a dense, delicious cocoa scent from start to finish. Out of the Give Me Gourmand series, I think Cookie Grave and Mallow Madness are the strongest in terms of longevity and projection. Interestingly, Choco Overdose and Cookie Grave give off a bit of a masculine vibe, but I’m still obsessed with Cookie Grave! + It’s a bit random, but Cookie Grave reminds me of Pink Sugar at times. While Pink Sugar has a sharper bergamot note, Cookie Grave feels like a creamier, milkier version of it. It’s like the DNA of Pink Sugar but smoother and more gourmand.

I really enjoy this. It definitely smells like chocolate chip cookies. I would say it's overpriced for what it is. These are tanking on here and on Tiktok. I think these are like a hundred bucks in stores. TJX had them for $60 plus tax. I paid $28 plus tax and I think that's even too much. It's projection and longevity are equivalent to those cheap Curations by the good scent that they don't lock up or put in boxes. Recommended for the smell but don't think this is going to be noticeable unless you flood yourself in it. Other Lattafas seem to carry, this doesn't. Probably good for the office, just not hot weather or the bees will come for kisses lol.

This broke two expectations for me. Anything that even slightly leans toward weak longevity on Fragrantica will be guaranteed weak on my skin. Not true for this. And butter notes, up to this point, have come across as rancid to my nose. Not true for this! I thought I would like the chocolate one from this line more, but this one surprised me again. It has more body and lasted 2 hours longer. Just a random happy find while browsing the mall. I didn't think I'd be getting my nose on this one where I live. Of course, you'd have to like gourmands to appreciate this. It's not a perfume gourmand. It's a no-foolin' gourmand.

A tray of warm, fresh home-made brownies with a slightly crackly shell pulled out the oven. You slice into it. It’s decadent, rich, chocolatey and gooey. Put it on a plate and grab like... five Oreo’s and crush them in your hand and sprinkle them all over the warm brownie. Grab a can of whipped cream (squirty cream if you’re in the UK) and schhhooooowwwwwffff a huge swirl of it on top of the brownie and dig in. Absolutely f’in DELICIOUS. Some people might not want to smell like a warm Oreo brownie and whipped cream BUT GOOD LORD, I DO! 9.5/10 ~ I would give it a 10 if it lasted longer.

Update on my previous review; I LOVE THIS SCENT. It’s delicious. Comforting, creamy, milk chocolatey. Literally Oreos and whipped cream. Absolutely scrumptious and fluffy. However... because it’s pretty photorealistic, I don’t find it easy to wear on a day to day basis and the worst thing about it is it lasts about 1 hour on me. If that. Because of that, I wear it as a bed-time scent (and I constantly sniff myself.) The scent profile itself - 10/10 But as a perfume - 7.5/10

I absolutely love this fragrance! It's such a yummy warm chocolate chip cookie scent. If you're scared of the butter note like I was, give this a try because I get no butter scent in the fragrance, yay! I mostly get cocoa, cookie, whipped cream (light), and vanilla from this fragrance. For longevity, I find this lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin and a little bit longer on my clothes. The bottle is so cute!! And it definitely feels high quality with how heavy the bottle is.

Smells just like hot chocolate - not the instant stuff you add hot water to; more the old fashioned kind made by heating milk. It is gorgeous. Of Vanilla Freak and Whipped Pleasure (I haven't tried the other three) it's the most delicious and also the longest lasting. If you like to smell like a mug of chocolatey goodness this is for you.

Oh yup, it's a cookie. I feel like on the skin it's a bit more complex than on the strip: I swear I get a little bit of that sandalwood in the beginning of wearing it. But of course, it doesn't get much more gourmand (and photorealistic) than this. Very long lasting. I recommend it to everyone who wants to smell like a literal cookie.

Initial spray smells exactly like the bottle topper. Chocolate ganache over a Oreo dense frosting. Very photo realistic. Buttery crumb of a cookie, with whipped cream that sits so beautifully on the skin. Tubbeess' Cookies and Cream is more almond forward, this is more chocolate. I already want another bottle.

omg this is just the most beautiful smelling fragrance ever!! suitable for all seasons, moderately lasting and a stunning cookie/chocolate scent that doesn’t smell artificial at all! as a vanilla and sugary perfume lover this is definitely one of my favourite scents! i highly recommend💕💕

It doesn't smell like Oreo to me, but more like those breakfast buns with chocolate chips. It's quite linear and simple, but it never fails to put a smile on my face. It's a kind of comfort scent to me. Sillage is intimate and longevity is on the weak side.

It smells like a drowned in milk, butter cookies that you bake for christmas, its the scent i dreamed about i love it. Im curious how long its going to last. For now its 3 hours long. Love!!

On a paper test I get chocolate cookie biscuit. I get buttery sweet. Definitely decadent, definitely a gourmand. There might be a hint of woodiness in the base.

It smells just like milk and cookies. Not something I reach for every day but it’s a vibe when I do. Every time you catch a whif it’s so good.

I was eating a nice, warm brownie with vanilla ice cream on it the other night and for a second it tasted exactly like how this smells

This is so good, it's not that chocolaty, however it's sweet lactonic with a kick of freshness like ice cream or cold whipped cream.

I do love this chocolate cookie fragrance. It’s creamy and delicious. Sadly doesn’t last long, but it’s worth the reapplying.

I will let this sit for a while. It’s simply delicious 🤤 it’s literally a chocolate oreo cookie but it projects very poorly.

I love it! It smells just like fresh-baked chocolate cookies. The scent is photo-realistic

I WANT TO EAT THIS SCENT!!! like seriously omg its the perfect gourmand

this smells EXACTLY like oreos dipped in milk! it's crazy honestly.

‘Cookie Crave’ is one of the better ultra chocolate fragrances, im confused why the ratings aren't very favorable? How can you be upset with a chocolate cupcake that smells like the real deal? Also whoever is saying this is similar to ‘Bianco Latte’ and its adjacent dupes NEED to put the pipe down...immediately. 😅 I cant speak for the other release ‘Choco Overdose’ but this does Chocolate almost perfect without going too far and cake/candle-like. I agree wearing opportunities are kind of limited, but the fragrance is spot on what I want from this type of DNA. 🥰 This is exactly what I anticipated when I excitedly tried Montale’s ‘Chocolate Greedy’ and was instead greeted with a stale orange cracker dipped in dark chocolate concoction. Since this was so successful, I will absolutely be trying ‘Choco Overdose’ when the hype/prices drop a bit! 🤭 Update: Received ‘Choco Overdose’ and its no where as good as ‘Cookie Crave.’ Absolutely no question buy this over that. 🤠

I am questioning who in their right mind compared this to Vanilla Voyage and Bianco Latte. 1st off, VV smells like a pungent musk, obnoxious, and unbalanced epic fail of a fragrance. Bianco Latte, though I love, is in a completely different direction than this scent. This is a chocolate through and through scent. The other Lataffa scent "Choco Overdose" is a strong fudgy/dark chocolate, and this is the milky chocolate side. They are similar, but slightly different in their scent profile. Choco Overdose has a slight masculine note to it, and it's slightly heavier...richer in scent. While this one has that cookie and cream note to it, which makes it a more sweeter, lighter gourmand. It's good...If you love chocolate and gourmand scents then this is probably a safe blind buy. I think both chocolate scents will be great for the upcoming cooler weather.

I am normally not very fond of chocolate or cookie scents. I often find chocolate scents too synthetic or too stale smelling, and cookie scents just have an off texture to me, and smell like fake pie crust in a candle. But I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I do get the chocolate but there is plenty of sweetness, preventing it from smelling stale or bitter. And the cookie is not that dry grainy texture that I hate. Overall this is very pleasant, I see people comparing it to oreo cookies, I don't get that. To me this is more like a brownie. It's very fun and playful and a nice little mood booster. But unfortunately the scent does not last very long. I hope it's just because it's no new, and that will improve over time, but so far I don't get more than 30 minutes wear time.

This scent does exactly what it says on the tin. You want cookies? You'll get cookies. And yet somehow the scent isn't....as edible as I'd imagined it would be? Of course, perfume isn't food, so I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but the thought just sat with me, squirming away. It doesn't project as much as I would've liked and as others have said, it's pretty short lasting. Gone within a couple of hours on my skin. I think, if I was back in my gourmand phase a couple of months ago I would've liked this a smidge more, as it is, it's good! But nothing great.

CHOCOLATE. COOKIES. COCOA. it smells SO good. the bottle looks SO yummy it makes me want to take a bite out of it and so does the smell. it smells like grandma cooking biscuits, i can smell the butter, cookie batter and chocolate chip cookies in this and its genuinely so yummy. the only thing taking off a point is the fact the projectivity and longevity isnt great and isnt as groundbreaking as i thought it was :( but nonetheless its one of my favorite perfumes, but since the seasons for this are ending im probably gonna let this macerate until it hits again

This is a very beautiful scent. It's not quite what I was expecting for a cookie scent but it's still very good! When I smell this, it reminds me of warm soft cookies being dipped in a glass of milk. I smell the milkiness the most. As you finish up your milk and cookies snack, your left drinking and smelling the milky-cookie aroma that remains in the cup - with some cookie crumbs left behind as well.

sooo yummy it smells exactly like an oreo biscuit but i def wouldn't wear it by itself (chocolate isn't my thing LOL i was interested in the cookie note). it's really nice to layer with though! i usually pair it with heavy cream from phlur and it smells just like coco pops that's been left to soak in milk for a bit. the longevity isn't the best :,( it only lasts for a few hours on my skin ❤️🩹

If Lattafa told me they used crushed up Oreos, dark chocolate syrup, and a dash of vanilla extract I would 100% believe them lol. It’s more of a deep chocolate than vanilla, and it’s the most photo-realistic Oreo scent you can probably find. However I wish the projection and longevity was better - it’s best to layer with other scents if you want the longevity. Or you could wear it to bed lol

This perfume makes me so hungry. I feel like a walking Oreo cookie wearing this. Super sweet and pleasant to smell. For Oreo cookie lovers, this perfume is for you. I find the perfume bottle utterly charming. The only negative thing I can say about the perfume is that it doesn't last as long as I thought it would. On me, it lasts for 3-4 hours.

Ok hear me out. As a gourmand lover that loves edible scent, this was phenomenal realistic cookie smell which instantly summons cozy vibe...at first spray. But I was disappointed with the longetivity, I feel like i dont smell anything after an hour...but that may be only for me. I feel like I reaaallly need to overspray it for performance.

smells like actual cookies (like the maryland cookies) and makes me hungry, would not want to smell like straight up food tho not very wearable but could potentially be layered i don't rly get how people make this wearable but works well as a kitchen spray

This is good! I’m very picky about gourmands. This doesn’t have that synthetic smell that a lot do. Unfortunately, though, it lasts about an hour on me so that’s very disappointing. To me it’s chocolate chip cookie with a glass of chocolate milk.

I loveee the smell of this, sweet, buttery, fresh out of the oven cookies. I just wish it projected more. I would say it lasts like 5 hours or so and I feel like you would reaaaally have to overspray to get anybody to smell this on you

This one smells like chocolate nesquik cacao. Kinda not smelling like a fresh baked cookies. The perfume itself is not that wearable. You will probably need to pair it with something. It lasts about 4-6hours. Otherwise smells nice.

Absolutely smells like an Oreo cookie and just the cookie. However, it also has almost a toasty chocolate croissant feel to it. This turns slightly bready to slightly buttery. WISH the cacao lasted longer.

This smells like Oreo! Nice surprise and the bottle is so cute. The fragrance could be a bit stronger though. Anyway, it’s a great gourmand. Thumbs up 👍🏼

really creamy warm cookies and milk scent, unfortunately doesnt last at all and needs constant reapplication :(

Beautiful bottle with mediocre performance. Not bad if you do not mind reapplying to smell like Oreo cookies.

Too chocolatey at first, after few minutes delicious buttery cookies with a hint of cocoa.

It's literally just cookies, very silly perfume but I love it

the notes make this sound so much more interesting and made me have such high expectations for the payoff but sadly it’s just not there. i’m sorry but all of give me gourmand was such a disappointing flop and i feel like anybody who truly likes these are easily influenced. it’s not a terrible fragrance, but it’s also definitely not a staple fragrance let alone one to be repurchased or even purchased to begin with... it’s cute and def delicious at first but i feel like for the price point there are more interesting fragrances out there including body mists. this one doesn’t last and it’s super faint by the end of the first hour. give me gourmand? more like go girl give us nothing

It's a sweet whipped cream scent. I personally don't get the cookie note on skin but it was there in the initial spray. Also very buttery but I kinda expected more from what people claimed on here. This definitely isn't photorealistic. A very sweet warm scent that I can see myself wearing during cold days but it's not groundbreaking.

Just got a decant and I am not sure I like it very much, it feels just too sweet. To be honest, even cloying. Wouldn't wear it on it's own, it is way too gourmand, but i guess it may be good for layering. The lactonic and butter notes are very strong. Definately wouldn't buy the whole bottle.

This smells like a very cheap chocolate chip cookie scented doll that was made in china. Smells off, plasticky smell on top of a very synthetic failed attempt of chocolate. Wore it once and it gave me nausea (i like gourmand, vanillaey perfumes)

Its alright! I love how it smells its so scrumptious, but it doesnt last very long and at around 6th period the sweetness is less visible and i just smell a spicyness that I dont like
