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.

I didn't expect to enjoy this even half as much! But this is SO pretty! Truly, such a delightful little perfume. It's uncomplicated, as per the brand's general vibe as far as I can discern. The citrus manages to hold on longer than most as a note. It sits freshly upon the aquatic florals, but this never veers screechy or intensely fresh. It's mellow, but actually fairly noticeable at a distance within the first few hours (my daughter is testing this). As far as "safe/inoffensive" feminine florals go, you could easily do much worse. I think this one is underrated by fragcom. And you truly could wear this anywhere, I bet my life savings that nobody would dislike it on you.

Sweet citrusy clean scent. The dry-down feels like clean warm skin and fresh sun-dried laundry to me. It reminds me of baby cologne but make it posh It’s beautiful, yes, but I’m afraid she’s here for a good time, not a long time. And by that I mean it’s gone way before the 2h mark. I know this is supposed to be close-to-the-skin type of scent, but you really have to get in there to smell anything. It's not super expensive, true, but with that performance I don’t think it’s worth it. Baby cologne performs better for way less. I really really wanted to love this one, but I guess it’s just not for me

a good, light, nonoffensive perfume for daily use. very safe. smells soooooo good - fresh, lemony, clean, light - reminds me of the way laundry smells when you leave it out in the sun to dry.... only issue is longevity. this BARELY lasts an hour, maybe two if you overspray - and although it seems affordable if you do the math it's actually just as expensive as some designer fragrances. just not worth it despite how good it smells. might try the perfume oil to see if it helps longevity bc i do love the smell

this is unlike what i usually use, but it’s really nice. it’s warm and clean at the same time, like lighting a candle and cuddling up w a clean blanket right out of the dryer after deep cleaning your house. very cozy! it’s definitely citrus but not in a sharp way at all, it very rounded out and balanced. it’s definitely not mind blowingly amazing to me, but that could just be bc it’s not my style i usually go for. it’s still super pretty, i’m even wearing it rn for bed. plus it’s a very good price!

Pretty close dupe for Gypsy Water. 000 is sweeter and stronger. Gypsy Water is more earthy, settling into smoother base notes faster, while 000 stays high and sharp through its wear. GW has much more depth. Both are gone after about an hour. Both are great, and inoffensive in any environment, in my opinion. Maybe 000 is great for travel if you don't want to bring your expensive stuff. Bottom line, 000 is one of the best "cheapies" I've smelled in a while.

This is my fav scent from Le Gourmand. I find their other scents way too sweet and non distinct. This clean, fresh, and soft scent is an olfactory departure in their line. It's sweet, but not gourmand. I normally wear it after my shower at night. It smells so beautiful as I lounge on the couch or lay in bed. A perfect scent when you want to smell good, but want to go easy on your senses.

I really like it as an all around fresh pretty scent. Very citrus and dries soft and a little woody. Very light projection and doesn't last long on skin. Price point is great though so you can reapply at your leisure. Less than $30 a bottle. If you like more intimate, safe for work scents or your skin but better vibes this ticks all those boxes.

I don't smell too much of the florals or the bergamot, this to me is a musky skin scent with the slightest underlying warmth. It smells like Amber Vanilla by 7 Virtues, I'm surprised nobody compared it to that. Longevity seems pretty bad to me but I only sprayed one spray on my wrist. I'm considering buying this when I run out of Amber Vanilla.

For a cheapie this can pass off as something more expensive. It's the true definition of fresh clean laundry and doesn't smell floral, but soft. Think clean soft plain white t shirt in the sun. The drydown is a bit powdery for my taste but it doesn't bother me much, it actually reminds me of Byredo Gypsy Water in a way.

This just came in the mail today. Not very much projection but has great staying power. Doesn’t develop much — smelled the same on me 20 minutes in and 6 hours in. Quite a soft, sweet little number. Base note feels too sweet for sandalwood to me but what do I know.

It smells good. Office friendly, citrusy, sweet, and slightly woody, but not the androgynous, aromatic scent I was looking for. If you like that type of fragrance, it's definitely worth it for the price.

Clean girl + a hint of candied lemon or sugared citrus. It feels much more feminine than other unisex scents. The longevity isn't great, so I plan on purchasing the oil.

sweet, dewy, and clean, just like @ascrypt said. Perfect by itself and with layering. Perfect for right out of the shower.

Very sweet and citrusy. Has a slightly clean drydown but it more sweet lemon than anything else.

Smells like a sweet lemon candy to me. Not much projection but its a nice perfume

I've heard 000 described as a white t-shirt scent, but it could easily be a knit sweater, as well. There's a soft, creamy comfort to it. While 000 falls outside the usual scope of scents I enjoy (which tend more herbaceous and woody), I find myself reaching for it all the time. I call it my "good girl" scent. I purchased the oil as well as the spray. I find the oil lasts a little longer on skin, but they both have a moderate wear time. At $25 a bottle, this is a safe blind buy for most so go ahead - live a little.

Smells like a soft citrus with a touch of woody notes adding a bit of spice in the background. Very light and effortless. The scent dissipates rather quickly.

This is very sweet, not the clean girl vibes I was expecting. It is way more sweet than the notes and reviews both here and TikTok led me to believe it would be. Kind of a failed blind buy for me as this is personally too candy sweet for my preferences. Luckily this was a low stakes blind buy. It has the vibe of an affordable fragrance my friends who liked sweet scents wore in high school in the late 90s/early 2000s. My 9yo likes it, so I’ll give it to her.

Yummy citrus and clean scent! However.........literally lasted around 15 minutes on me no exaggeration. They had really had something going with this one but this is sadly glorified water. Please don't waste your time or money on this one. :(

Nice clean scent at first, but the dry down turns into a rather unpleasant dirty musk on my skin, I guess due to the synthetic origins of the note. It could work as a base for layering with other perfumes, but on its own it’s a bit underwhelming for me. The opening is clean and soft, but I don't like the drydown. Edit after 2 months: I sampled this again, and I still think it's more of a base for something else, however this time I'd say this is a "nonscent" scent. I said I don't like the drydown, but this time I do, it's just the type of scent that you can't put a finger on. This reminds me of - and now please bear with me - a smell of a small grocery store, pleasantly lit by warm afternoon sun, where there are ripe fruits on the counter, and the smell of etiquettes on the the fruit + shelf of packaged sweets right next to it. It's a smell of an atmosphere than anything else.

I have this in the fragrance oil. It is not very strong on my skin or I am just nose blind to it. To me it smells like early an 2010’s mall: think Aeropostale/ Abercrombie in its prime. I saw a comment here that says it kind of gives the vibe of Clean Reserve Skin and I agree. It does not smell like it but it is that same your skin but better sweetness. It is not for me, but it is very lovely and sweet. I mostly get a candied bergamot smell from it, dry down it is still very sweet and you get more sandalwood. I would rate it a 5/10, not bad for the price point, but not a scent for me.

I love this perfume so much, I am already on my second bottle. It’s creamy and sweet at the base and watery and juicy on top, like a fairy on a lily pad. It is great for warm weather but it makes for a great all year round safe reach. I love this especially at bedtime and in the morning. It is similar to dedcool taunt in the way that it has bergamot on top of a sweet creamy base but it is by no means a dupe. I think if you like one you will like the other. The longevity isn’t the greatest but I will continue to repurchase unless I find a dupe that last longer.

this is so creamy but bright it pulls off the clean girl vibes i think they were going for here so well and honestly better than a lot of higher end scents. i have a random strong memory attached to this one of when i had to walk my dog in the rain late at night for some reason. but this is gorg and should be talked about more for sure

pretty basic and feminine. the bergamot is a bit much at first, but fades out sweeter. i don't even like bergamot so idk why i keep buying perfumes with it as a note. very designer perfumey smelling (which isn't bad, just not really my style)

As if Jeffrey Dame's New Musk and Serge Lutens Five O'Clock Au Gingembre were blended with a dash of Egoiste. A skin scent, by which I mean low sillage/high longevity, and kinda perfect as a fresh fruity musk. 5/6

On the drydown, on my skin this perfume reminds me of "The Ghost In The Shell" by Etat Libre d'Orange. Kind of synthetic, creamy, orange pith-like soft smell. Sits very close to the skin compared to the former.

It smells exactly like poo-pourri...I smell mainly candied lemon and synthetic vanilla from this, no sandalwood or waterlily. It is incredibly sweet-smelling and definitely not giving clean girl vibes...

One of the best clean and skin-like scents. Ugh I'm mad it lasts shorter than a sneeze. Blink and it's gone.

Ethereal. Unfortunately it lasts about 20 minutes
