So very gourmand and super yummy, but also savory! On me this is a very sweet, creamy, buttery, and decadent caramel, swirled with powdery vanilla, nutty macadamia, and rich white chocolate sprinkled with sea salt and coconut flakes. The caramel reads as both decadent and savory because it’s a thick, rich, gooey, and buttery salted caramel in the best possible way! I even get a bit of that yummy buttered popcorn scent, but it’s blended well so as not to be too prominent, or overwhelming. It definitely leaves my skin smelling incredibly delicious and absolutely edible! I really love this one! This is one that’s definitely for the hardcore gourmand lovers (like myself!)! It’s super sweet and a true straight up gourmand! It’s like the more decadent version of 62. It makes me think of a more decadent, rich, and nutty combination of 62 and 39. I’m a huge fan of SDJ, and own almost all of their fragrances! My favorites are Summer é Amor, 62, 39, 71, 91, 40, Limonada Gelada, Sundays in Rio, 59, and Beijos de Sol. My least favorites are Dança Mística, Aqua Mística, and 68. I’m planning on getting the 2 newest ones by August, and I just cannot wait! To me, 71 feels feminine, and even though it has a slightly youthful vibe, I think it’s suitable for women of any age. I think this works best during fall and winter because of its sweet decadence with a savory touch, it could maybe become cloying in the heat. However, does kind of have a summer-y feel to it, probably from the coconut blossom. It makes sense considering that their brand is “summer in a bottle” along with smelling absolutely delicious. So, I do think that it could work during summer nights too. This feels most fitting for casual occasions, date nights, and work/school. For reference, some of my other favorite fragrances include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Candy, Yum Pistachio Gelato, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Sunkissed Goddess, GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, PdM Oriana, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, JHAG Powder Love, Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla, LoveShackFancy Secret Crush, Vanilla Twirl, Coach Dreams Starlight, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Queen’s Caramel, Vanilla Salt, Forever Pistachio, Phlur Honey Moon, Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, Beach Skin, SDJ Summer é Amor, 62, 39, Limonada Gelada, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Cotton Candy Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries, Love Unleashed

Sweet, caramel, vanilla, nutty, salty, chocolate, powdery, decadent, rich, feminine, sensual, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delicious, delightful, luscious, alluring, tempting, yummy, delectable, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting Definitely very decadent with savory nuances. This is like a less beachy, and amped up version of 39/Coco Cabana and 62. You get more of that buttered popcorn vibe topped with salty and buttery caramel, rich and nutty macadamia, sensual and powdery vanilla, decadent white chocolate, savory sea salt, and tropical coconut blossom. I personally do prefer 39 as I enjoy the beachy aspect, but I also really do enjoy 71! I’m a huge fan of SDJ fragrances, and own most of them! My top 5 are Summer è Amor, 62, 39, 40, and a tie between 59 and 71. This is extremely sweet, rich, and decadent, while also being somewhat savory, so I’d recommend it for the hardcore gourmand girlies like myself. Definitely not for those that don’t enjoy straight up edible scents. This feels feminine to me, and even though it has a somewhat youthful vibe (like a lot of SDJ scents), I still think it’s suitable for women of any age (I’m 38 and still enjoy wearing it!). This feels like it works best during the fall and winter because of its sweet decadence and cozy vibe. I could see this possibly becoming cloying in the heat as it’s so sweet and rich. I think this works best for casual occasions, date nights, and possibly work/school. I get good performance with 71, especially considering it’s a mist. The longevity is between moderate and strong as it lasts 6-8 hours on my skin. The projection is at least moderate, as it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me. For reference, some of my other favorite fragrances (besides what I’ve already mentioned here) include Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, The Wedding Silk Santal, Yum Pistachio Gelato, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Sunkissed Goddess, GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, PdM Oriana, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSl Black Opium Le Parfum, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, Rosie Jane Dulce, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Queen’s Caramel, Vanilla Salt, Sand, Phlur Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, Beach Skin, VS Vanilla Lace, BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries

Oh. My. God!!!! This is absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS. So, I got my package this morning and I paid around £15 for a 90ml spray, and I was so nervous to try it as it has literally all my favorite notes in it. Salted caramel? Coconut? White chocolate? Vanilla? Hell yeah! I am an absolute whore for delicious foodie perfumes. Dammit, I want to smell like a bakery, okay? I was apprehensive because I knew how bitterly disappointed I'd be if I didn't like it, but holy cow, is this stuff DELICIOUS. If you want to smell like the most yummy coconut cake sprinkled with nuts and oozing with warm salted caramel, then this is the body spray for you. Warning! This will make you super hungry! This is everything I wanted Let The Good Times Roll from Lush to be. Strong and delicious caramel notes (without the overwhelming clove) that I can actually distinguish, decadent coconut, smooth and creamy vanilla with a hint of nuts. Ugh. So good. I want to keep spraying over and over. I absolutely love Sol de Janeiro perfumes, and I own Coco Cabana and Brazilian Crush and I get compliments on both of them, especially the latter. I think this one might just be my new favorite. I feel sinful, naughty, playful and down right sexy when I wear this, because I know I smell damn good. I will say, this might not be everyone's cup of tea. It is super sweet and strong, maybe even a little overwhelming to some, so if you get headaches easily, I'd avoid this one. As for me? I love it. I absolutely love it. I literally said "holy cow" when I sprayed it, as it is my gourmand lovers self total wet dream. 10/10 from me.

Definitely better than the 62, both in terms of scent and performance. It lasts quite well for a body mist and has a very decent sillage. It's very gourmand, but I don't consider it a winter fragrance at all. To me, it's easy to wear year-round. I'm not sure whether it's the coconut blossom or the sea salt (the notes listed on the bottle are vanilla, caramel, sea salt, roasted macadamia, white chocolate, tonka bean, and coconut blossom), or perhaps the coumarin from the tonka bean. I don't think it's the macadamia, but I could be wrong. Either way, it almost has a cooling smell on my skin. I probably wouldn't wear it on a scorching summer morning, but for summer evenings or just a normally warm day, around 30°C (86°F), absolutely. It’s a very beautiful buttery, caramel-like, cooling vanilla. It reminds me a bit of Chocolate Greedy by Montale in the dry down, once the orangey opening fades and that buttery chocolatey note takes over, which in turn somewhat reminds me of Petit Beurre biscuits. So I completely understand the comments comparing it to cookies or biscuit yogurt. That said, the cooling, slightly salty touch it leaves behind makes it feel more like a body care product than something I actually want to eat, even though it's 100% gourmand. I haven't tried layering it with other fragrances yet, but it strikes me as a very versatile scent that would pair easily with many different stuff.

this is THE most edible gourmand i've ever smelled. sticky, sugary, syrupy...nutty, warm, toasty...DESSERT. you might get diabetes from smelling it too much. it almost reminds me of that waffle crisp cereal with less maple. this is what i was expecting PHLUR caramel skin to smell like (so when i did finally smell it i was a little disappointed lol). it is VERY STRONG immediately after spraying, and even if it's only one spritz i can't help but cough, but for how yummy it is i consider it a small price to pay. it's fun for layering as well; grounding for a lighter/brighter floral scent or feminizing a muskier/masculine one. i think it lasts longer sprayed on my clothes than on my skin, even so the longevity is impressive for a body spray. my fiance LOVES this on me, and it gets plenty of compliments from others as well. this is a bold, heavy-duty sweet, though; if you're unsure, SDJ cheirosa 62 is similar and much more approachable. i do think it's quite amazing they were able to bottle such a decadent dessert scent so accurately, so i would definitely recommend giving it a smell test next time you're at a sephora just for the novelty. she is truly one of a kind and i love her.
