000

this is extremely reminiscent of lake by rosie jane—an airy orange creamsicle. i love that one and have been eyeing grabbing a full size but i’m glad i didn’t, because 000 is a close cousin at a fraction of the price. i understand the comparison to dedcool’s taunt, but that is more heavily vanillic, and lacks the lingering citrus note. this is also nothing like missing person, which is more more powdery and skin-like, and lacks both a vanillic/amber and citrus notes. not like clean skin reserve (more fruity-sweet-musk) or NaP Superdose (much woodier). 000 is like enjoying an orange creamsicle on the boardwalk, with just a hint of warm woods. warm but not sweet or cloying, with enough freshness to balance. sits pretty close to the skin with an intimate bubble. lovely for warm weather but i think can stand it’s own during colder months, especially if you’re not looking for anything overpowering.

I wasn't blown away by this at first. I thought it was nice, but wasn't really reaching for it. now that the weather's getting warmer, I absolutely love it. the sandalwood is the star of the show. it's warm, woody, creamy, and a bit sweet. super addictive. the bergamot is pretty strong too. it brightens up the sandalwood and makes it warm weather appropriate. these 2 notes together make it the perfect balance of cozy skin scent and clean laundry. the floral note is actually lily of the valley. it's there but not super strong, more of a supporting note. if you don't tend to like floral scents, you might still like this. I have the oil and I recommend it over the spray. it lasts forever, which is unusual for le monde gourmand scents. if I put it on before bed, I can usually still smell it in the morning.

I was kinda so-so on this when I first got it, thinking it wasn’t as interesting as some other skin scents I have. But it has quickly become the one I reach for when I don’t know what I want to wear but I just want to smell nice. It’s a soft, clean, faintly orange creamsicle dream. I really love it. It’s not fussy, not loud, it smells nice day or night. OK sillage and not a crazy amount of projection. If you’re looking for something that would be your every day signature fragrance, the kind that leaves a scent memory for your children and family and that you’d waft under your loved ones noses when you’re a ghost and you want to let them know it’s distinctly you haunting them, this is the one.

Gorgeous perfume. It’s very difficult for me to pinpoint exactly what I’m smelling, but it smells very soft, clean, fresh, and peaceful. The lily, citrus, and sandalwood are all very gentle, almost refined, like a spa. I’m a masc gay cis guy, and this perfume sits perfectly in the middle of unisex and gender neutral. I actually got it during their black friday sale because I was looking for their least sweet perfumes, and I’m genuinely impressed. It feels soft, cozy and gentle, but still very refined and sexy.

suchhhh a sweet and creamy (and a bit lactonic?) woody white floral. it's truly a combo of all the things i love- soft sandalwood, dewy (not heady!) white florals, and a bright, zesty bergamot top note that gives it that creamsicle vibe. subtly powdery but not overly so- such an easy day-to-day or office reach. and not to mention the affordability!! i recommend the oil as it has a bit more lasting power. le monde gourmand hit it out of the park with this one:))

This is one of my favorites from Le Monde Gourmand. It's very clean, crisp, but definitely has those subtle sandlewood undertones that, in my opinion, make it suitable for fall as well. Non-polarizing, but like all Le Monde Gourmand fragrances, I find it has poor projection and longevity. I use it occasionally, especially on clothes from the dryer to enhance that clean clothes vibe and also because the fabric tends to hold the scent a little better than skin.

yeah, i'm obsessed. it's so sweet yet not at the same time? clean, powdery, magical in a way? like it smells like what five year old you would think an enchanted forest pond would smell like. with all the fairies on the lily pads and the unicorns drinking from the water. i got this as a blind buy after seeing someone rec it on tiktok and i'm so glad i did. i love it a lot already!

The same sensation as leaning in for a sip of Sprite both in terms of the scent and a sort of effervescence. When it comes to projection it’s also a bit like Sprite - gotta lean in a bit ;) But for what it is it’s a very nice and refreshing clean scent. And for the price super safe to try for just about anyone.

My god i just love this. It smells so clean, soft, and balanced which i find rare in sweet citrus perfumes I just wish it lasted longerrrr!! I need to find a similar perfume with better longevity and sillage. Is lake by rosie jane that similar?

So fresh and so clean. Perfect anytime anywhere scent. Wish it had a bigger bottle since it requires a lot of sprays, doesn't last long. great bedtime scent with great longevity

This is honestly my perfect clean scent. I’m a big gourmand lover and this is super clean and fresh but in a way that is still a little sweet like candy without being cloying.

I find this to be such an easy reach all through summer and love it for the price point! Very cosy your skin but better and sweeter

Very nice. Sweet, clean, cozy, simple. I could see myself layering this with something stronger but it's also very good on its own.

Very zesty, bright citrus. Clean smelling, almost shampooey. My favorite scent for when i don’t really know what go wear.

Smells exactly like Calpico tastes. Poor sillage and longevity but its affordable and I love it.

Love this! Easy blind buy. Simple, fresh, clean with a slightly sweet note. Great summer scent

Combined with Snif’s Suganami - soooooo heavenly!

I was expecting a typical floral ozonic skin scent, but this is more than a floral skin-scent. Its opening is unexpectedly pretty gourmand on my skin, it really smells like lemon/lime custard on me, quite reminiscent of Tattoo Michel Germain, minus the caramel. It's also similar to VS Eau So Party, citrusy and sugary, but less sweet and much smoother (Eau So Party can trigger my nausea). It's not cloying of course, and no baked-goods smell here. Its opening and from the sprayer is a citrusy, but smooth and sweet aroma, not obnoxiously sharp or astringent/ sour. It is addicting since I'm attracted to lime/bergamot/lemon fragrances. Masculine scents end up smelling like cigarettes or sweat on me, and this is far from that. The pyramids of these two perfumes (Tattoo and 000) follow a similar pattern: two flowers, mainly a white floral middle note (water lily here, honeysuckle there), a citrusy or green fruit and a woody musky base. Obviously this could be unisex as there are no heavy gourmand syrupy sweet notes, and I love natural scents more than anything. The bergamot here is not masculine on my skin, but rather a sweeter blend with the freesia, but retaining its aquatic, spicy, refreshing character. The freesia tries to act like the salty pear (like that of Burberry Brit) and it doesn't eventually which I am glad about, it just renders the bergamot sweeter and smoother adding a happy spring-time freshness to it. I don't detect any amber here and it's not listed of course, and so this is much lighter than Tattoo, thank God (I sold Tattoo because it was too lemon-pie sweet for me). The floral element of 000 quickly takes over and introduces a contrasting soapy scent minimizing the initial sweetness and which I normally wouldn't expect in a sweet bergamot/lemon-pie concoction which now stays in the background as the foundation of the fragrance, but allows these florals to take center stage. I wore it on a rainy day and I could smell more of its fresh element, rather than the sweet lemon-pie scent I normally perceive from this. In hot weather it's very reminiscent of VS Eau So Party and Burberry Brit EDT. I perceive this as a new member in the Burberry Brit sweet lime/lemony scents, but 000 is more unique as it is much lighter without the obnoxious to me stale, salty pear of Brit EDP, less sweet than that and very smooth without any sharp astringent or bitter notes and far less citrusy. Some intense yet beautiful tartness in 000 is in the initial blast. This is the ideal balanced version of all the above imo, with a refreshing and modern character. No heavy notes here, and like I said I am impressed with how well they created a calming skin-scent with a sweet side, not linear and far from boring. It is also not nauseating unlike Tattoo, even though it combines the fresh with the sweet citrusy vibe which normally makes me nauseous. Eau so Party or Burberry Brit (even though I always liked it) are also nauseating to me just as Britney's Fantasy Intimate which also combines a lemony citrusy sweet gourmand scent with a fresher lactonic ozonic flair and I always found the combination odd and nauseating, even though it was charming and enticing. No bitter notes here and the projection is quite good on me. It lasts about 4-6 hours on me and it fades into the same aquatic, green, lemony custard-sweet yet spicy bergamot scent with an ethereal white floral veil. I wanted to take a break from my beloved Tres Pine and Pistachio Brulee and I reach for this often (I took a very long break of 2-3 years from perfumes wearing mists mainly). In the breeze it smells so comforting yet refreshing that it makes me nostalgic and happy.

As a skin-scent/you-skin-but-better fragrance lover I had to get my hands on this. 000 is definitely sweeter than I expected, but it is a lovely, soft, fresh second-skin kind of fragrance. The bright and citrus-y openig mellows into something fresh, clean, a little sweet, and lightly woody. Wish it lasted a little longer, but I'm not mad at it for the price! This leans much more towards the Clean Reserve Skin family of skin-scents – they don't really smell similar, but if you're familiar with the sweetness of it, you'll know what 000 is like. If you're looking for a true, fresh almost floral scent like Phlur Missing Person, Margiela Lazy Sunday Morning, or Lake and Sky 11 11, this is probably not the pick for you. Still worth the blind buy for $25! I can see this becoming a favorite as we get into later spring and early summer.

I bought the perfume oil after months of deliberating. It arrived today and wow—it was exactly what I expected, in a good way. Smells like fresh linen, almost, and freshly washed hair. Only wish it had stronger sillage. It’s the kind of thing I feel like I need to reapply semi-often to really smell it on myself, but to be fair, I tend to go very nose-blind to most perfumes on myself after a few hours. This perfume confirmed that I really like bergamot. It’s one of those notes that just feels fresh and clean with just a hint of citrus. If you like the type of scents that stay close to your skin and feel like stepping out of the shower post 30 minute everything-shower, you’ll like 000.
