Gourmet

Woooow, this was an absolute experience. Soooo strong blast of smoke, tar and liquor when it's still wet. To me it then dries in to a smoky leather with soft, sweet, delicious and almost caramel like vanilla. Amazing, beautiful and delicious!! I'm not at a point where I would spend so much money on something quite challenging like this but wow, I absolutely loved to try this! EDIT: Oh alright, it's way past dry down now and it's aaaa lot more tame. More vanilla less leather and smoke. Like it a lot but wish the leather and smoke would be stronger still. Deliciousness and softness thank goodness not gone anywhere though :) Take this with that infamous grain of salt cause I only have a sample spray, small sprays :)

I am truly captivated by this fragrance! Alluring, smoky and sexy,Gourmet is a love secret for grown-ups ! The bottle is gorgeous! Something about this frag reminds me of Le Feu d'Issey, although it's been more than 12 years since I last had a bottle of this gem. Very good longevity, silage is soft to moderate.

An appetizing, almost buttery vanilla mingling with smoke creates a distinctive combination. Sweet gourmand notes are felt briefly, especially at the opening, then as they dry down, the scent focuses mainly on the smoke, which forms a noticeable base of the sillage.

It’s delicious but something puts me off. It has some note that smells both medicinal, spoiled (spoiled milk) and also somewhat plastic-y (or maybe like a burnt car tire). So think of all this thing mixed with caramel of something sweet. Strange... Follow me on IG: scent.guide

Not a safe blind buy for gourmand lovers. While the bottle is exquisite, the perfume is not as enchanting and definetely not for every nose. Chestnut, leather and insence turned out to be a lethal combination for me. Starts loud, strange, but interesting as an extremely sweet, but not gourmand, insence and harsh leather, - good to get a wiff of, but not for wearing. It persists for at least a couple of hours, gives a headache and then dissipates into a quiet soft vanilla with a light urine smell and a body in need of a bath. Luckily it is almost a skin scent, so no one will probably notice it at that point, unless you are intimate. If you want a gourmand fragrance from this house, try Mon Parfum Cristal, it is simply divine.
