Latte e Mandorla

This is on my want list it’s absolutely lovely and very calming. This is gourmand done right . May not work on every skin type as you can see reviewers that hate it. That’s just your skin chem not jiving with this beautiful concoction .Latte in Italian means milk not like a latte from Starbucks 🤣 haha . This is milky lovely goodness . The dirty dishrag comment is just someone trying to be an edge lord believe me try it you won’t be disappointed .

Also that shirin person wrote such a lovely review that captures the essence of this fragrance . Someone get her a fragrance copyright job because I’m sold on that review alone and I’m sure others would agree . Jesus Mary and Joseph that shirin is a proper sort worldy !😉

TF Bitter Peach milkshake, thats exactly what it is, the bitterness of the peach toned down by vanilla and milk. More like White Patchouli and Bitter Peach layered together. Super cozy cant wait to wear this in autumn

Latte e Mandorla has a creamy, milky, and rich scent profile, reminiscent of an expensive skin care product. It is calming and spa-like, with a powdery dry down.

I have a tester of this it’s a beautiful creamy milky gourmand with rose in . I definitely will order a full bottle .

Initially this fragrance is a very unusual gourmand, in that it is completely unsweet. It’s like some type of dough involving crushed almonds, milk and flour that becomes thick and paste like. In order to thin it out, a little unsweetened rose water is added. This all rests in a musky base that seems like it also has some sandalwood, and as I said it’s doughy but not sweet. As it ages on the skin, and the heart notes appear within an hour or two, it starts to become slightly sweet as something purple and floral appears, barely perceptible but definitely there. Maybe heliotrope. And after a few more hours the dry down commences and it’s now mainly a thick white musk devoid of any of the prior gourmand elements, but also I could swear there’s a soapy sandalwood mixed in with that musk. Latte e Mandorla lasts about 7 hours total on skin and is very pleasant and easy to wear. It’s definitely a calming scent, there’s nothing to really catch your attention or intrude but it is different because of that doughy almond element in the beginning. That’s what I enjoy about it.

PDF Latte E Mandorla is a cozy, intimate rose skin scent perfect for everyday wear. It opens with a tender blend of fruity and lactonic (milky) notes, letting a soft pink rose bloom as the primary accord. It doesn't smell like soap, but rather gives your skin a subtly perfumed, fresh-from-the-shower aura. The delicate almond note remains a cozy accent behind the rose, while the musk in the dry down imparts an expensive, powdery finish. This is a must-try for rose lovers seeking a gentle, personal fragrance.

Powdery rose-patchouli scent, a bit spicy and musky but no milk, smells nothing like its name

This opens with a milky almond smell with a hint of rose in the background, its subtle and fresh. Almond milk + subtle rose petals. Anise starts to pick up and smells like a sweet licorice, rose starts to pick up too and it becomes a little sharp. The patchouli is sharp here too, a bit herbal and feels out of place with the other notes. Not my favorite as I feel like the choice of notes together is odd + the whole scent is just sharp all throughout

Unfortunately for me, this smells like chemicals and old baby wipes. Very astringent. I don't get milky, creamy, or even almond from this. There is a hint of something soft and cozy but it's blown out by the other smells. Sad.

This isn’t gourmand at all to me, the patchouli comes off really fresh and strong. I ADORE Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum and was hoping for something similar, but unfortunately this is nothing like that

Heavy, Rosey, Syrupy, I just walked into the room so give me attention perfume. For the spot light seekers and the smell may offend some noses.

Whoa. This smells like dirty dish rags. Patchouli was unnecessary here. Who thought to pair it with milk? Hard pass.

Patchouli and rose, no latte but not beast mode either. More bearable the longer it wore.

Unfortunately this is an absolute no! A scrubber! I was scared to spray it because of the smell but did hoping for more something but Unfortunately this smells soooo vintage so strong so dated!. I get unknown vintage florals vintage rose and Patchouli not the chocolate Patchouli either this is kinda dirty ...I had high hopes for this

This is all patchouli and rose. More of a winter scent. I wouldn't wear this in spring or summer

I was kindly given a carded sample but I do not like it. To me it isn't gourmand at all, far more it is reminiscent of skin cream. Specifically it is soapy/creamy somewhat like that cheap lardy Aqueous Cream of which I am not a fan (and which, FYI if you have eczema, IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USED AS A MOISTURISER, IT'S A SOAP SUBSTITUTE! It is bad to use as a moisturiser, it will worsen the condition, but I digress) This smells like that does when mixed with water in the bath. I do not detect anything much else, neither almond nor anise (which I love) nor rose neither. If you want to smell of generic skin cream, this isnt even that good a version of it, smells cheap, not luxe.

Sorry but this is a disappointment! This is not almond milk but an astringent patchouli which then softens down almost like the notes pyramid is in reverse! In no way is this almond milk. It's a nice enough patchouli but I feel this needs renaming

Preciously angelic fragrance. Gossimer wings floating through rays of sunlight on a warm spring day. The delicate embrace of a mother, Gymnopédie No. 1, pastel organza. Ethereal, otherworldly and exceptional.

At first it smelled like a rose latte, then it morphed into a very powdery rose with minuscule hints of patchouli. Finally a beautiful sweet almond shows up and takes over. Extremely long lasting.

Trying this one today but not a fan. It has a powdery sharpness to it. To my nose there's a lot of white musk which is giving it a laundry detergent/dryer sheet vibe.

How is this almond and milk? I smell a sharp rose, not what I was expecting at all.
