Sugar Me Crème Brulée

I love the fragrance itself, just like I love the og, Falak and Maitha (my absolute favourite version of this hands down). But compared to the others this has zero projection and I have to place my nose right on top of it to get a tiny bit of the fragrance at all. Even after 8 applications I can't really smell it. None of the others have this bad projection. Maitha is something I can smell for hours and hours. This was such a letdown. I'm OK with skin scents, this is not even that. 😭 Please skip this and go for one, or all of the other 3, instead. This is in no way worth any money.

LOVE It may be summer where I live, but I always want and need this DNA. Out of the box it's good. Intensity I'm not sure yet. I may go a little nose blind to this DNA. I have other Escapade Gourmand inspirations that I adore, and this is right up there. I better pace myself so I don't get sick to this DNA. I just find stuff like this easy, especially since my stomach is sometimes sensitive. Now I'm interested in smelling more in this line up.

Photorealistic is a word too often thrown around the fragrance community, but this is truly it! No peripheral interference, just the crunchy chewy top of a crème brûlée. A rich yet composed fully wearable gourmand. After purchasing all but the ‘Dulce De Leche’ sibling, I would say ‘Crème Brulée’ is the best offering in the collection. 🥰

While I love the way this smells, I wish it lasted more than 2 seconds on my skin. After the initial burst, it fades into a skin scent that smells like vague sweetness. I’m a heavy sprayer, too. Hopefully in time it’ll last longer, but for now, I wish I didn’t blind buy this.

This surprised me in that I was expecting it to be way more artificial. I do enjoy it - it’s a sugary custard dessert type of scent. Not much longevity.
