Melodie Du Cygne De La Main

I love this, it's very sweet but I don't find it cloying. This fragrance is languid and enveloping, powdery rose followed by irresistible praline and lush vanilla. Quite pricey but somehow worth it :)

A slick foray into the fruity gourmand genre. The fruity notes that blend with the praline has been done before but the difference is the super balance. I've seen praline note overdosed to too much..Armani satin..I'm looking at you.. and the fruits too syrupy..la nuit tresor for example..but here they mix together in a streamlined way that in my wearing.. didn't cloy like it could have. I think that's it's strength. It's an upscale take on the fruity gourmand. It's not one of my preferred genres but even I could appreciate it and be comfortable wearing it.

This is gourmand perfume. Pretty generic sweet vanilla + "whattheycallchocolate" + flowers. It sounds like a combination of all modern gourmand perfumes from La Vie E Belle, Britney Spears etc. Bottle is fantastic.

This is almost a gourmand fragrance, this is almost a piece of haute jewellery. Melodie du Cygne de La Main is a creamy concoction of fruits, violets, iononas, sandalwood and a special vanilla touch. The sandalwood is the main player in here and there's a huge dose of it. I find it similar to Carolina Herrera's Sandal Ruby, but that's another story.

Fruity gourmand. This is very very sweet and rich in the top with the fruits forward. There are some light florals underlying that mainly consist of orange blossom and violet. In the base the praline takes over. It smells like every other fruity dessert frag out there though it is very very strong.
