Dulce Fundamentum

It’s sad that some people associate this masterpiece with Bianco Latte. I don’t think they are the same. Similar or common accords yes, they do share but milk chocolate is not white chocolate. Honey is not screechy sugary musk. Bianco Latte to me is an overrated childish perfume that had the chance to become viral on TikTok, and had a good marketing campaign after that. Pure luck. Meanwhile, I appreciate artisanal products like this one right here. It’s velvety sweet and powdery in the opening and then later on in the process it turns into a creamy caramel chocolate. I also detect a tiramisu kind of boozy coffee in the opening. Aromatic, edible, a bit earthy 😋 It is an adult complex gourmand. Not a fragrance for those who dislike sweet scents nor meant for warm days wear. DF screams autumn and winter coziness. Love it and it performs beautifully on skin.

I got this when it first came out, and this has consistently been in rotation and one of my faves! It's literally a chocolate version of Bianco Latte, but without the plasticky note and more well blended. I also love Bianco Latte, but sometimes, it can be a little too much. Dulce Fundamentum is the one I reach for when I can't take the full sweetness of BL, but I still want that DNA. The dark chocolate really tempers the sweetness of BL, and I think the honey, hazelnut, and tonka give it a woody crispness that makes it more balanced. Also, as someone who is very sensitive & picky with musks, I don't smell the white musk in this at all. Such a simple concept, but so well done. I'll keep this in my collection forever.

This is Bianco Latte with chocolate 🍫😋 more delicious version! Soooo delicious. I have both and enjoy them equally. Lumi is perfect for cosy time at home and is easy to wear. BL projects a lot more and is good for wear outside of home. (I first got a sample and doubted if I need both but I managed to get Lumi on sale and I couldn’t be happier to have it)

ooooh this smells like cookies! love it. though not overpowering, overly childlike or too playful as you might expect. definitely a more subtly sweet, mature, unisex gourmand that’s wonderful alone and also practical for layering. yum!

Hyper realistic Gourmand. But dry. Smells pretty much exactly like a bar of chocolate, but not overly sweet or synthetic, definitely worth a try. Also great packaging and the people behind the fragrances are very nice.
