Sucre d'Ebene

Dark, mysterious, sexy, sophisticated and sweet! Tried this at Bloom Perfumery in Covent Garden and it was love at first sniff! I got a sample to test the lasting power, projection and to see if it morphs into something I don’t like and it passed the test! Quite an interesting perfume that is sultry and sexy in the way that Loubirouge is. The brown sugar is done so well here! Not burnt, not sticky sweet, not syrupy just luxurious and delicious! It’s difficult to get sweet right with sophistication and this is it! Definitely no juvenile sweetness here! It’s balsamic, resinous and the orange blossom add the perfect amount of floral sweetness oh myyy I really love this! I enjoy this as a bed time scent, when I am craving a bit of sweetness or when I feel strong, super sexy and powerful. Perfectly balanced perfume, not a loud sweetness, it’s youthful,leans more feminine but men could wear it and it’s just so put together! Lasted on skin 6 hours and projected nicely as I got a few compliments on the tube so I know people can smell it. Definitely not one that over powers a room but her presence is noticeable and you want to get closer. Full bottle worthy 100%

I like this a lot more than my fiance, who prefers acqua e zucchero and love by kilian, but I really like it. I can see why one wouldn't want to own all three because of the similarities, but they are different to my nose. Acqua e Zucchero is much stronger cotton candy, love is more marshmallow, both with more projection. This fragrance is very much so pure burnt sugar and maybe some berries. I cant say I smell much more, it doesn't last as long as either of the other fragrances I have already, but it is different enough to me to eventually add to my collection.. Not this second, I can milk my sample and live with that for a long time. 8/10 for me because I love the brown sugar note so much, sweet gourmands are my favorite. I finally got a FB and this is much better with a spray, medium projection.

Just discovered that Fragrantica doesn't have Witch Hazel listed amond it's notes. "Musky infusion of brown sugar, witch hazel, orange blossom, vanilla and benzoin" as stated on PG website. Hence the confusion. Witch hazel can turn either woody or herbal. Sucre D'Ebene is sugary but not necessary "edible". It sits close to skin, melts beautifully into own's skin chemistry, sometimes leaning masculine/unisexy. Slowlived, subtle opening and not as linear as it first may seem. On a personal note, deep love for all PG perfumes and the subtle magic they perform on my skin.

I just received a sample. I think I like this one. Wish I had a spray because it gives me a better grasp of the juice. I didn't think beer I thought sour or tart grape. In a good way. If I could be sure that element stayed I'd buy in a heartbeat. We will see. update. bought a fb and am very happy I did. I have never identified myself as a gourmand lover but I started looking at my wardrobe and I think I am. Love the vanilla in this one. I still get a grape/nut thing but not as strong with a spray. almost pure sugar, love it.

For long time I was lover of gourmand fragrances but later on it was enough for me. However still I have kind of sentiment for sugary smell. SE is another story. This is very sweet solution but with prominent note of woods. They are completely covered by burned dark or caramelized sugar – IMHO this is cedre. For sure it can be good choice for both sexes. So this is not only yummy interpretation of common foody scents but this is real niche fragrance. If you are in a bad mood go ahead and enjoy this marvelous smell.
