Les Gourmandises de Luna

At first spray I thought Les Gourmandises de Luna would be a fresh, slightly sweet scent with citrus, more similar to Nina than to Luna. But soon it developed a sticky caramel note like its big sister, so the similarity became noticeable. I didn't think much about the scent and thought it was just an okay, but uninteresting light version of Luna. Until after a while a lovely scent wafted to my nose and I found out it was Gourmandises de Luna that I sprayed on my arm. The drydown is really unexpectedly beautiful! Sweet, creamy, with a clean and a slightly spicy facet. I notice caramel, milky coconut, a hint of sandalwood and a freshness that could come from the peony and pear. Very soft in feel, but still long lasting on my skin. The bottle is also very cute with the little candy-like pearls on the apple. I almost bought it a few days later, but then I didn't. I was on holidays in Greece and I just had a feeling that it could be possible that the scent developes better in the warmth there than it would in my rainy hometown in Germany. Could be true, could be false. Unfortunately, I have never seen this in any store at home so I don't think I'll find out. My advice: If you have a chance to try Les Gourmandises de Luna, do so and give it some time to develope. It could be a perfect summer gourmand. Addition from April 2019: I couldn't get this out of my mind and ordered a bottle online. Fortunately it works really well in milder weather, too.

Delicious and so interesting one! Caramel and coconut are quite a intensive and sweet, but I found also nice freshness of grapefruit,which brings good balance.Pear and Peony are there too,but I really couldn't find sandalwood. At first hour this is quite strong for me but when it decrease it becomes really nice and soft.Last on skin about eight hours. Maybe not so summery for my opinion,but really good scent from autumn to spring!

Cute bottle, kinda reminds me of something out of a fairy land with lots of candy all around. This scent is nice, it's a foodier take Nina Ricci Luna, it's Luna as if the apple was dipped in coconut, pear and Caramel flavored candy then topped off with sweet sugary sprinkles. This flanker isn't bad, very nice smell that can work in the spring and winter. Would make a great gift for anyone who likes candy gourmand scents

It must be the contrasting flavours of grapefruit and caramel combined that creates this new intriquing scent that hits the spot for me, Kind of like the contrasting scents of liquirice and salty smell in Lolita De Lempicka. Just a quick impression based on first spray at shop I instantly liked it have to explore this smell yet some more. Appreciating the cute design on the bottle as well <3 with springles on top!

Gourmandise Luna is primarily a fun fragrance, optimistic, youthful, representative of the joie de vivre. We are happy just because, no particular reason. It's the opposite of what perfume addicts call "melancholy" fragrance. We need such types of perfumes too, but it seems that on the edible Luna, not much creativity was put. The usual trusty sweet gourmand base recycled in LVEB, Black Opium, Si, Pink Sugar, Poison Girl, Princess; all these gourmand scents that are showcased altogether in girly girl youtube videos. It's familiar, thus, it has good potential to sell well. Lasted five hours close to skin. After that it started fading quickly. The actual scent now: Sugar, sugar, sugar...and a good dose of lemon to cut through the sugar. But then you'll smell like a lemon-pie. A vague mixture of vanilla-praline-tonka. Heaps of pear. I get a roasted vibe, and when drydown hits I swear I smell tonka and licorice. Deep scent. Not cheap, I have to admit that. Bitter notes are totally absent. And that poor floral was in the background, just made an appearance and it was hard for me to detect it. Tries to achieve the oriental vibe. Smells like a freshly baked cookie. If you want to smell like a freshly baked cookie then Gourmandise Luna is for you. Not a bad scent but nothing amazing either. Definitely better than original Luna and with a different character, you wouldn't know it's a Luna flanker if you weren't told. More intense and deeper than the original. Way too calorific for me

blind bought gonna successful - love this. didn't disappoint at all - u get exactly the notes listed and together they are very yummy and sexy and harmonious. it starts like a most delicious juicy sweet bubblegum with pear and grapefruit, soon the exotic coconut and peony take over and after 1-2 hours the soft dry down of caramel/vanilla with sandal wood. too bad the sillage is non existent from the beginning and the longevity is poor. but u can see it as an intimate scent otherwise it could be too loud and obnoxious. this is like a heady alcoholic exotic summer cocktail - something between pina colada, blue Curacao and Sex on the beach. fruity, flowery, coconutty, super sweet drink. cheers! 🍹🌴💙 ps: the bottle is cute and pretty but looks a bit cheap because the leafs are made of plastic sprayed with gold colour and one of them got broken already when it was new in the box- i had to fix it with a glue 😓 still overall my new favourite among of my 700 perfumes in my current collection 😍🦄💟

I am not normally a fan of gourmand perfumes, so I was quite pleasantly surprised at this one. I tend to find gourmand scents generic and sometimes quite sickly. This is different though, at least to my nose. I don't know what it is, but this has a depth to it. At the start I get a blast of grapefruit and caramel, combined with pear and coconut. It could be the peony or sandalwood that prevents it from getting too sickly. It settles down really well to a powdery, sweet woodsy scent. I would recommend this for Autumn/Winter as it has a comforting note to it, which is perfect for the colder months.

Luna has a fresh citrus scent, then turns sweet, somewhat caramelly floral, and finally in the end are fresh flowers. Quite a pleasant scent, but nothing special.

This smells like a sweetened aldehyde, has an "old perfume" smell, like hairspray. A definite no for me.

I don't get the caramel & coconut. It's mostly sweet, citrus, fruity & fresh on me.

Ugh this was such a disappointment. I blind bought it off of the notes alone, I thought it couldn't disappoint. Boy was I wrong. This is nothing but caramel and coconut but not even in a good way, more like a cloying, choking, heavy, headache inducing way. That's it. There's no depth, nothing. Extremely linear. On the plus side... The bottle is really cute.

The opening is a powdery, synthetic, sweet mess. Later on, the sweetness gets deeper and more natural, but you have to be patient. I liked the original Luna way better, this one is not what i would qualify as "gourmand", it is simply a sweet, not very original fragrance. It did not spoke to me, i will pass.

Caramel + fruit + florals covered in chemicals. Smells like D&G The One without the supposed coffee, which I never got anyway, so yeah they're basically the same scent. Beautiful bottle for such a nonondescript fruity sweet mess that doesn't develop or do anything nice.

So very sweet, caramel and pear are the strongest notes in it. The caramel note is usual and seems even a little boring to me, beacause of how common it is. It smells not bad, but a little cheaper than it is. Simply sweet caramel dessert scent. I wouldn't want it.

Reminds me of Britney Spears Fantasy. It might just be body chemistry but all the Nina apple perfumes smell almost identical on me. I wanted to try this so badly, and sadly it's a disappointing perfume, nothing special. Selling my bottle on Mercari.

Okay so I'm just so sad over this blind buy i wanted coconut caramel lactonic gourmand . Nope just cheap grapefruit , that's it . It just smells like grapefruit and not even a yummy grapefruit

The caramel note is the reason I blind bought this, but I'm gonna return it. Smells too light and floral like a diaper wipe. I don't smell sweetness at all. So bummed, I thought I'd love it.

Starts of a creamy peach, sweet and watery but not sharp. The middle is quite generic. A bit synthetic as well. But te bottle is lovely.

BEWARE! Anyone who reviews this and says it’s just like the notes suggest is a fraud. I cannot find one good attribute in this fragrance. It could not smell further from what’s listed above. And I love Nina Ricci perfumes!!!

Forget about the coconut, forget about caramel, this is just an awful grapefruit to my nose. So disappointed :(
