Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee

** update 12/19/2024** so i've had it for a month now, the coffee has toned down a lot and the buttery toffee and brown sugar have amplified much more. that burnt sugar note is gone, and the smokiness i pick up stays mostly in the air upon spraying or if i smell my skin/clothes directly. this fragrance is now a love for me, a coffee/toffee delight (my favorite ice cream flavor ♥) that's perfect for this time of year. i only wish it projected a bit more, i feel like i have to overspray in order to get a decent scent bubble. if you also get/got burnt sugar and coffee at first, i recommend waiting for a while to see if it gets better. mine went from a scrubber to an absolute love within a month. when i first bought this fragrance, i absolutely hated it. i got none of the sticky dates, buttery toffee, werther's original caramel scent that i'd seen others describe. all i got was dark roast coffee and burnt sugar-- not even burnt sugar as in the torched, caramelized top of a creme brulee, but like you messed up trying to make candy/syrup and burned it. bitter, offensive, and disappointing for hours until a slightly tolerable drydown hours later. between other reviews and sheer refusal to accept that i wasted $70 on a ME fragrance i said i wasn't going to buy right away, i decided to hold out hope. it's been a little over 2 weeks, and the fragrance has already changed for the better. the burnt sugar/bitterness has waned, it has become more buttery and vanillic, and the nutty/spiciness from the walnut and cardamom is coming through as it generally becomes more complex. i'm confident that as time goes on, it will continue to get better-- which i'm fine waiting for, it's just barely starting to consistently get cool here and this is definitely a fragrance that i would want to pull out in colder weather anyway. as of right now, i find it to be feminine-leaning (more so over time) unisex, slightly spicy dark coffee + toffee fragrance with a beautiful warm, woody vanilla drydown. lasts for me ~6 hrs on skin and until the next day on clothes. it's just a like at the moment, hoping it will become a love in the future! i would not say it's a safe blind buy, definitely try a sample if you can because this is definitely not a straightforward vanilla/toffee fragrance for everyone.

Dark Dessert - Affogato Don’t mind the bad reviews for this one. People have been clamoring to be the first to get their hands on this to post content right off of the heels of big releases like Bianco Latte and similar clones. Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee is nothing like that. This is a very dark and intense gourmand that really teeters that line on what people actually call gourmand. Just looking at the note breakdown it makes me think of a chef brainstorming a dessert, combining flavors that can compliment each other to get to a certain flavor, chasing that michelin star. In this case the chef focused on toffee’s dark roasted flavor. That’s what this smells like to me. It opens with strong toffee and supplemented with black coffee notes with some brown sugar binding the two together. The dates and cardamom pop in the accentuate the opening notes creating some smoky feel, on top of a backdrop of vanilla and a hint of walnut. The mix of the last two gives it that very slight milk feel. On the dry down the backdrop of vanilla remains, tonka keeping it soft, and the woods, musk and benzoin come out keeping some level of smokiness that compliments the vanilla very well. Like a a fancy affogato To my nose that darkness of it makes it lean more masculine. The darkness does make it very versatile. Someone could easily dress this up in a suit for a night out like a casino, date, ballroom event. Or dress this down for home to lounge. If your girl wears Bianco Latte you can wear this. Definitely would work better for colder days. Other than that it delivers on the name, lots of vanilla and toffee with complimentary flavors that develop around it. Idk what everyone else expected when they saw the word toffee on the bottle. Toffee is cooked at higher temps than caramel and give a much darker and more roasted flavor. It doesn’t smell burnt or bitter you just don’t like toffee ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄

This is one of the most gorgeous perfumes I have ever come across. Wow! Perhaps if they had named it coffee toffee it would not have been so misunderstood. Because while this is a gorgeous spicy vanilla fragrance, it is almost equal parts coffee. And I adore it, I think I have found my coffee fragrance for life. UPDATE nope Shahoor Intense has currently toppled it as my favourite coffee fragrance, it's just slightly more coffee to scratch the itch. Further Update Arabiyat Fondue Velvet Dip is currently the queen of the coffees, its Shahoor Intense but actually intense. The coffee is here in the most beautiful way, very Arabic coffee complemented with walnut and dates(heavy on the dates!!) and this background of buttery brown sugar toffee. Like a genius made this. The woodiness and milkiness at the same time is also exquisite. People who were expecting an ice cream caramel vanilla along Eclaire and Bianco Latte have misconstrued the fragrance. In reality Vanilla Toffee is in a completely different league of a more grown up complex coffee dessert pastry fragrance. I no longer think it is super similar to Caffe Latte(Amore Caffe dupe I havent smelt the original) as I did before, they're definitely in the same color of smell basically with the brown sugar coffee, but they approach that destination in completely different ways. I do have a slight drawback with this fragrance, it's the cardamom, it's a bit loud initially in the mixture and can be off putting. It doesn't completely ruin the scent but when it is in the middle of drying down the cardamom makes it smell a little strange. When it fully dries down the cardamom makes better sense in the mix but those moments where it is the leading part of the fragrance are off. It's still an interesting fragrance and I enjoy it a lot, it's nice to have a complex gourmand.

Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee first impressions and comparison with Sticky Dates Decided to blind buy Swiss Arabian’s latest release because I already have a fondness for the og Shaghaf Oud plus, as you all know, I’m a gourmand nut, so I figured, why not? After experiencing the scent however, I can confidently say this is a complete departure from Shaghaf Oud, only sharing in the resin-rich benzoic sweetness they both display. The opening of this scent starts as a true toffee and slowly melts on the skin to mimic a butterscotch-like olfactive consistency. As confections, the two vary in that toffee is caramelized brown sugar cooked with butter to the point of reaching a hard-crack stage while butterscotch is cooked until it becomes a soft-crack textured candy. So, this scent starts with a crackly brittle opening of hardened toffee and as it sits on the skin it begins to melt down in a vat of vanilla, making the heart of the scent smell more like gooey butterscotch being drizzled onto a plate of dates. I appreciate this gourmand for its depth, it’s not just a plate of hardened burnt sugar, and personally I think this can classify as an iteration of the Sticky Dates body mist from Lush, which has a woefully stomach-turning opening (with a far more pleasant dry down). Both have a synthetic backdrop but Sticky Dates leaned in a bit too heavily on the note of butter (unlisted). Additionally, the two fragrances give the vibe that the delicious dates being showcased are plated next to a cup caramel-pumped coffee, as you can smell the roast of the beans. I will also admit that Sticky Dates, although only a body mist, is far more complex than vanilla toffee, and projects with more ferocity as well. ig perfume.realm 💙

What kills me is ...how some ppl buying a fragrance that is noted : in the unisex spicy gourmand category, but they dont like sweet or gourmand scents?? Make it make sense!! If you see the notes, and it is marketed as a unisex fragrance , then why did you expect some youthful candy gourmand or some cupcake toffee expectations when its unisex, has woody facets, and its a SHAGHAF line up and expected something like a bianco latte caramel toffee cupcakes a teenager would wear or a Ari Grande type scent ??? But you dont like gourmand or sweet scents but bought it ? Lol Im confused , its hilarious! This fragrance is not an extremely sweet scent at all or ache sweet but you have to love any gourmand scent or spicy arabic scent to like this one because this is your FOODIE spicy light gourmand that is unisex. @superscent10 I do not get nothing eggs . It could be your body chemistry in your skin. Never try a scent after you have eaten food either, because it can alter your nose chemistry function . Try a scent after you have fully showered is first rule, not when you have other stuff on, just ate food etc. Just like Ahmar doesnt work for me because it turns full musk on me, dirty musk. Maybe your a fruity floral type and not gourmand honey type. I dont love aquatics or white florals. I love the unisex torched smell from this . This is a over 35 age plus spicey torched unisex gourmand not a Fru-la la 20 yr old gourmand and thats the difference. And I hope ppl stop comparing this to Bianco latte because i have it and they are in completely different directions . Bianco latte is for all ages but Vanilla Toffee is not.

Thick, strong, and unapologetically sweet right from the opening. It hits you with this syrupy, sticky, caramel-soaked blast. Almost immediately I pick up a caramelized raisin facet, and behind it there’s something medicinal, cold, and slightly bitter that keeps the sweetness from going your typical gourmand route. It’s creamy, lactonic, and undeniably vanillic, but there’s a strange edge lurking underneath. As it develops, it becomes chewy, almost rubbery, like warm toffee being pulled apart. There’s a powdery, dusty quality that mixes with a faint nuttiness, giving the fragrance a textured feel and almost makes it feel aged. At times it reminds me of those old-school butterscotch candies, that buttery caramel swirl balanced with an almost burnt sugar undertone. That vibe stays throughout the entire wear. This is absolutely a cold-weather scent. It’s dense, heavy, and has real presence. The strength is there and it settles on the skin like a thick blanket of warm sugar and creamy vanilla. What makes this fragrance so interesting is how addictive yet weird it is. I can’t stop smelling it because it’s delicious, but the more I sniff, the stranger it gets, revealing new nuances every time. Sweet, then rubbery, then dusty, then creamy. It’s a shapeshifter. Definitely one of my most unique and challenging gourmands. Not a safe pick, not for everybody, but if you enjoy gourmands that lean daring, textured, and a little off-center while still being irresistibly sweet, this is a really compelling one. Great price as well.

How can I describe this gorgeous perfume. It’s a full bodied cup of Arabic style coffee with cardamom & cloves, also a rich flavor of toffee and creamy vanilla. Truly done In Middle Eastern style. Also, I think it’s important to take note this is a middle eastern fragrance. It has that smoldering smoky, woody/incense vibe. It’s intense, quite bold, maybe dark even. I don’t find it similar to Mahni Cassonade or Cherosia 71 but I can see why those fragrances come to mind. They all share that sort of burnt sugar smokiness but in different ways here it sort of reminds me of being in a hookah lounge. That is where the comparisons end. 💗Mahni Cassonade is more of a waffle cone/brown sugar syrup/vanilla icecream/amber wood 💗 Cherosia 71 is much more gourmand. It doesn’t have the woodiness the others have and instead focuses on a toasty macadamia nut/White chocolate cream and charred salted caramel. 💗Shagaf Vanilla Toffee is much creamier with bitter coffee candy/rich dark toffee/spices/(not sure if there’s oud here) But def a deeper darker base Sidenote - I know sometimes when we see a fragrance that is very gourmand we expect it to be nothing but overly sweet, but this one does have woody notes listed which provide depth and strength. Also, with it being middle eastern, I sort of expect a smoldering base. I think if you’re looking for something closer to a full on Gourmand Cherosia 71 is the best. Not a dupe but you will get that creamy caramel burnt sugar.

Well , I finally got my bottle of this and its a winner!!! I had heard so many disappointed reviews from this and once I gave it a test , I said : "what are they smelling?? "...Because this is not loud at all , not extremely sweet, not musky , yes spicy but more like a spiced toffee cookie or biscut with some over cooked edges but nothing smokey here. The spice is slightly slightly burn toffee but its not loud at all. This is a soft spiced scent, and very gender neutral. This smells great and I love it. I feel oud tonka is louder. This is really nice and nothing stuffy . It stays close to the skin and whoever said this is loud or horrible or fills a room must be use to only a body mist. This is 9/10 for me. Nothing dirty about this at all, maybe a broken nose lol . If your into fresh aquatic scents, earthy florals , white florals , and hate oud, hate spice , hate sweet scents .. this is not for you!! Give this a chance and let your bottle sit for a bit. The drydown is wonderful. This is a very light sweet spiced aroma of toffee crisp biscuts with over done edges , sitting in a coffee shop, when the over heated coffee bean grinds have waft thru the air from its containers and its a winter early morning and your eating a toffee bread or biscut with over a layer of a soft light sweet spiced baked cookie crumbled on top ...thats Vanilla Toffee sweet level is a 4 , 1- 10..10 being very sweet like Bianco Latte ( sweet level -9) for reference.

@kdsmith, No I never was giving a rude note or even the intentions , I was explaining what could be something your into based off your profile of favorite fragrances to reflect off this fragrance for like vs not like with your chemistry. Not at all was the case. I do not see a large amount of actual gourmands in your profile. You just stated you do like white florals / florals and also earthy scents. A bit contradictory here ? Idk. My point was if you like fresh or a larger display of white florals , Its is a very high chance this would not fit your style of likes...was my point. As example , If you wear Bvlgari or anything in that line up ...this fragrance is a complete opposite out of range to what your chemistry may match to for a like. Just like The Vert Bvlgari : you like but for me , I know it wouldn't work for my chemistry because those scents turn to wet puppies or wet grass on me so I avoid freshy tea /white floral tea bloom citrus scents, all im saying. Vanilla Toffee is a gourmand but not a over sweet one but a spicy unisex one. What you thought it was when you saw 'TOFFEE"???? Toffee is buttery without me smelling it because im over 45 to know that.! I think you possibly cat - fished yourself because you dont seem to know what Toffee or unisex gourmand means for your learned chemistry for yourself !

**update 1/5/26** I reread my initial review and thought....I have to let these macerate. I should know better as I have a lot of Arabian fragrances! Well I tried it again today and it was everything I wanted and more. Totally gourmand with all the notes playing beautifully together. If you like layering, try it with Vanilla Voyage. If you like sweet gourmands, you won't be disappointed😊 I was very excited purchasing this because of the toffee and other delectable delicious notes as advertised. I love the Shaghaf tonka and think they did a great job with it. Well.....I'm going to have to agree with many of the other reviews below. The initial spray is a gourmand lover's (like myself) dream. But the dry-down is not very pleasant on me. It turns into a completely different fragrance that I didn't purchase lol. At first, I thought it was just my body chemistry. I have to be careful with patchouli and cardamom heavy fragrances because those don't smell good on me. They have to be well blended. Anyway I rated it as "ok". I might be able to work with it in layering with something very sweet. I'm not sure yet. However, I have to remind myself no matter what was advertised, this is a Shaghaf, and that line is not for the faint of heart 😉

Simply amazing beautiful delicious mouth watering 😋 😍 🥰🥰😍😍😍😍🤩😘 This is the most delicious gourmand ever ..it's smells like this sweet vanilla buttery toffee with abit of coffee and the walnuts are also present It does have a tiny hint of smoke/burnt sugar smell to it but that's just only for a few minutes when i first bought it the opening was alittle strong and the burnt sugar/smoke smells was strong for a while before setling into this photorealistic sweet vanilla butterytoffee but after a week or so i tried it again and omg that burnt sugar smells has toned down and nothing to worry about because tested it abit on my skin and I quickly turns into this super gourmand toffee goodness ...the drydown omg ..delicious sweet vanilla buttery toffee candy with the walnut also there and the coffee......the walnut is pretty strong tho ......I don't smell any other notes or so This is the best yet I am blow. Away Smell 10/10 Projection 9.5/10 Long lasting 10/10

Opening is tolerable, as time goes on it gets worse and stronger, projects like a rocket and that’s not a good thing, 7 hours in and it’s making me gag, smells like burnt.. just everything burnt and the house is filled with smoke Edit: a few more days of testing, it’s not as polarizing as the first day wear, it just smells like burnt sugar to the point it’s like black caramel.. the coffee is more like coffee’s brewery smoke, if that sounds intriguing to you.. good for you.. not for me 2nd Edit: Yeah nevermind this has grown on me big time.. spoke too soon, didnt let myself fully testing it before making judgement. Final Edit: i love this, literally gourmand dream, also when i first tested this, i had just seizured and passed out from hypothermia few hours prior, my brain was probably effed up💀 everything and nothing made me nauseous for like two days.. felt like lights were on but nobody’s home, so take my first opinion with a grain of salt.

I have a sample of this and it’s amazing. I definitely get a coffee note, to me it’s a toffee latte with pretty weak coffee but it is there. It settles into a vanilla, toffee, milky kind of scent, which is definitely my vibe but it isn’t for everyone. I sprayed it like I usually would, one spray on either side of my chest and one in the middle a bit lower down (all on my clothes) and a spray on either wrist. I have to say, I would not spray near my face the next time, as smelling it with every breath was a bit overwhelming as it was there all day. I still enjoyed it, but wanted a bit of a break from it by the end of the day. I’d say proceed with caution, but it delivers what it promises. Probably best to sample first though. Based on the variety of what reviews say, it might be one where your batch makes a big difference, I got mine as a sample so maceration might effect it as well.

People, don’t read these negative reviews and let them scare you. Everyone on these review complains about the burnt plastic, but none of them mention that it lasts for 10 mins or less in the opening. Only thing after that is the slightest tinge of smth chemical. Not to mention this doesn’t need to macerate for a great scent. So yes it does have a bad opening but everything after that is very nice. Rating is unjustified. This fragrance is a pure gourmand that smells like a darker brown sugar caramel latte. It’s is an amazing smell and very sweet. If you enjoy sweet coffee scents or just the taste of coffee this is for you. Unisex maybe a bit feminine but I feel the ladies will like this on a guy. And you could always let her wear it. 8/10 very nice gourmand

@kdsmith I actually get all the notes on my skin. This smells nothing like Guidance, I own it. You definitely could be low in your b-vitamin levels which causes your nose to not function properly to its full potential. This is not suppose to smell milky, its a torched unisex spicy gourmand but not extremely sweet or youthful sweet. Its more of a 40 plus age group sweet. Its unisex is the key here. If you like scents like : L'Interdit Eau de Toilette , your into white florals or powdery florals and that could be your lane chemistry for your skin. For example , I cannot stand L'Interdit Eau de Toilette, or anything white floral like that , it smells cheap on me , Im into sweet, dense , unisex , sandalwood, anything fruity sweet , resins , amber etc scents.

At first, I was horrified. I got dark, burnt coffee with a side of burnt plastic. I think it was just an initial shock to the perfume's strength. I didn't give up on it and let it sit for a week or so. When I tell you, you NEED to let this sit for a while after opening the bottle. I sprayed it every day to see how the scent was changing, and it still is. Now I get creamy thick toffee with dark roasted Middle Eastern coffee, a hint of cardamom, and a gorgeous creamy vanilla dry down. It's so gourmand without being overly sickly sweet like I was afraid it would be. That was the reason I didn't originally opt for Lattafa's eclaire because I wanted something a little masculine leaning without being too manly. Definitely not a safe blind buy for most people.

I was waiting for this fragrance since I've seen the photos and the notes here on Fragrantica. Today I've received my bottle and it's my SOTD. Three sprays are more than enough for me, I've seen people online spraying this fragrance more than 15 times, I would definitely not do that. As a professional chef and pastry lover I can say that Vanilla Toffee is definitely a gourmand fragrance. The caramel note si very intense and is slightly burnt, but I like it this way. It remaining me to Mugler Pure Tonka and Mancera Amore Coffee. Definitely not a clone. I don't get any oud or incense. It's not overly sweet and it's perfectly unisex. For me it's not a game changer but I'm sure it will grow on me the more I will weare it.

Rema voice “ANODA BANGA” Edit- Anyway: thought i could shed some light on this since everyone is kinda baffled about it. IF YOU WANT TO SMELL LIKE TOFFEE/CARAMEL THIS AINT IT, PLEASE PROCEED TO —> ECLAIRE. <—— This is VERY UNIQUE and yes borderline weird, even for people that have smelled a ton of stuff, it is not as gourmand as it may seem. I can see it improving on the toffee-ness over time but let me tell you this is COMPLEX with its groundy coffee and cardamom. I can’t quite compare it to anything to be really honest, but on 3rd wear i can be reminded of the original red Raghba, just a smidge. Again, dont jump into it thinking its gonna be a flanker to Pink Sugar or something like that. It is a SHAGHAF.

Never really thought I'd love a smell like this but hey, here we are :))) This smells like caramel and brown sugar on steroids. Longevity & sillage are huge (10 hrs+). I love it, it reminds me of a very particular barista syrup for coffee, I just can't remember which one. It basically smells just like that syrup used to taste, if that makes any sense :)) I've had it for a month now and I've never worn it by itself, I layered it either with Bianco Latte because it just works so well. I have Shaghaf Oud also, which I very much enjoy, but aside from the bottle, the great performances and the price, the smells have zero in common. Can't wait to try Oud Tonka as well.

Reading the reviews I have to say that fragrance is definitely subjective. I don’t get anything burnt, sickly sweet, or cloying. When I initially received the fragrance and sprayed it; I smelled mostly walnuts and brown sugar. I have let fragrance sit for over a month and it has definitely changed. Now I get something akin to Sticky Dates in perfume form. I do not pick up any coffee but given that the fragrance is evolving that may change. I really do like this fragrance but based on the one spray I did I can already tell this will only need two-three sprays maximum for me. I’m looking forward to how this develops and changes over time.

When I first bought this, I had planned to buy Lattafa eclair, but it was sold out, and they let me know they don't have any plans to restock. I was a bit worried cause of the reviews, but this was a happy surprise! A gorg strong and musky vanilla smell which is mixed with toffee and caramel, perfect IMO I love gourmand scents that have base notes of musk. My current combo has been Lush Sticky Date moisturiser layered with Let the Good Times Roll and Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter and the Alrehab Golden Sand roller. All I was looking for was something with more longevity, this couldn't be a more perfect combo. I'm so obsessed!!!

Someone mentioned smoke toffee..smoke toffee....omg that person makes me laugh so much...because I have the perfume I have shagaf vanilla toffee you can even see my profile pics anyway I will describe this once again. This is straight up sweet vanilla buttery toffee with coffee and walnuts ........there is a hint of burnt sugar/smoke in the opening but that's quickly turns into this beautiful photo realistic sweet sugary vanilla buttery toffee period I know what I smell and I know how it is because I have it...there is no smoke or burnt sugar thing going on....only a few minutes there is some hint of burnt sugar in the opening

@youronlyperfumer well, for most arabic scents it helps to let them sit a bit to develop oils better after a few weeks. I do not get paid for anything, I just review for fun. So, not sure what you mean. I recommend spraying this on skin ..not clothes. Testing on skin gives a better test run. So if you have a date or event to attend , spray 40 mins prior on skin. So not sure what your collection of scents consists of as i own over 250 scents. And their is no fish smell ...ppl who test scents after eating food , or if your on medication or low in your B-vitamins causes your olfactory system in your nose to not work properly.

I guess others are upset that this didnt work for them but it works for me and on my skin. No , I don't smell fish. Nor do i get my panties in a bunch because something works for someone else. Its well blended and its for the 35-40 plus age group my opinion. If you dont like it cool, move on... if you do great ..What you mad for ? As example , I dislike khamrah because it works better for a man and I do not like the musk on my skin, so Vanilla Toffee works better for a woman because Chemistry means everything first and foremost ...Lets not get that twisted.

1007 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I'm not big on gourmands, but I have a girlfriend who is and I gave this to her at lunch today. Her immediate reaction was, "OMIGOD! That's amazing! OMIGOD I love it!!! OMIGOD! Smell this!" And really, she did smell good enough to eat. I mean seriously, she smelled like a mix of Heath Bar and coffee, literally two of my favorite things in the world. I don't know about you other guys, but when I give a fragrance to a woman, "OMIGOD I LOVE IT!" is the reaction I'm going for. And I love smelling this on her!

Idk why yall hate so much this baby.Yall literally paying max 35$ for this fragrance, why ur expecting some really high niche quality.For the price, size, longevity , sillage that iam getting it’s perfect fragrance tbh. Personally i smell really sweet cozy warm type of smell. Perfect for cold weather. Its like on toffee they crashed coffee beans then added some vanilla with brown sugar plus on top warm caramel and in the end there is walnut. Mmm its so yummy 🤤

I love this I just got it in the mail today. But why is no one mentioning that it has oud and a smokey woody vibe. Yes, it smells like the most scrumptious caramel toffee, but it also has a strong woody background. I find that it gives it a very sophisticated feel and elevates it. But for those who don’t like woody/smokey/ oud scents then test this one out. It is definitely a full on delicious gourmand, but with a strong woody undertone🤎🍮🍦🪵

This beautiful gourmand edible perfume has matured alot ad change alot tho .....its ultra strong and longlasting and that burnt sugar/smoky feel has toned down alot and it quickly turns into this beautiful sweet photo realistic vanilla buttery toffee scent with the walnut and coffee in the back My fav I also have naughty dates And dates toffee But vanilla toffee is my most fav now Then comes naughty dates and then biscotti date toffee 😘😘😘

Now that I get it why this frag receives such low scores on here. Figured out it is because most of the gourmand lovers expected it to be something creamy and sweet similar to most of gourmand scent profile when talking about this scent style. Turns out, this is a kind of 'dark gourmand' and I absolutely agree with a reviewer who once said, this is a gourmand for bad girls I love it!

I have avoided this scent because of the licorice note mentioned by some reviewers, but with a few new releases my opinion is changing. Licorice can also be done in a rich and delicious way.But this; This is not just licorice, this is straight up salmiakki! We sell salmiakki ice cream here in Finland. This smells exactly like that. Delicious.

This one is a beast mode!! Eternal lasting yummy and addictive It’s a sweet comforting toffee gourmand with a fancy delicious yet very woody base If you’re a gourmand lover, this is a must have Be careful don’t over spray (might get nauseous from the intensity) Personally on my skin, it lasted eternally One of my longest lasting perfumes

This is a rich spicy gourmand🥮 that evokes the essence of a dark Italian affogato🍰 with a Caribbean twist.... It opens with the deep aroma of dark chocolate toffee🍫🧇 blended with smoked coffee☕️, walnuts🥜, dates🫘, caramelized brunt sugar🧈, vanilla🍦& milk🥛. An olfactory journey🪢in itself, i am truly captivated & mesmerized by it...

I just picked up a bottle of this today. The scent is beautiful! With my skin chemistry I get heavy brown sugar and toffee. I sprayed this once on my wrist, and my husband who is on the other side of our house could smell it. So be forewarned, this scent has nuclear sillage. You do not want to over spray this one.

I still generally like this perfume, there are days I love it, but the cardamom smell has gotten stronger and bitter. It made me realize I hate cardamom. Would have been heavenly without it. Update: Okay suddenly the cardamom has settled down a whole lot and it is wonderful again!

Ive only had this fragrance for all of 1 day so I'll update my thoughts later but this is very transformative! I'm getting spun sugar, toffee and a leather/ oud so far 10/10 photorealistic gourmand so far. Very high quality fragrance up to par with theodoris kalotnis

I wasn’t too hyped about this fragrance after purchasing it. I liked it more than Oud Tonka and enough to buy it but after a while with the fragrance it’s the dry down that shines. The brown sugar, and the vanillas blends so well together it’s soo good

i wore this yesterday and I got 2 compliments in a row, people were asking me what i am wearing and where i got it from. Interestingly it was 3pm and i had sprayed myself at 7am. I am liking this more and more, its perfect for the colder months

It’s a woodsy, vanilla-toffee-coffee gourmand. I personally love it, and I know it gets creamier with time based on people from Dubai that have had it a while. Also, it pairs beautifully with Bianco Latte and Amore Caffe.

It's quite good actually, smells the exact same as Dior Vanilla Diorama but without the Rum note. If you find it at discount it's good to grab, no need to mention the performance is beast mode!

This is my first gourmand, a blind buy and I adore it. Perfectly balanced and definitely not your average gourmand cloying perfume. It has a dark, mysterious side, smooth incense.

super realistic toffee scent, ultra long lasting and projects ridiculously far. dont be scared, if you like toffee, and gourmand scents, its highly likely you'll enjoy this.

this might be my all time favourite shaghaf flanker. it's actually vanilla toffee deliciousness. i am not the biggest gourmand girlie but this may convert me.

Yes its vanilla 40%,50%dates and 10% burnt brown sugar BUT GIIRL THIS ,THIS IS JEAM DATES AND VANILLA CREAM cookies with1ì brown sugar topping DELICE

I love it for the colder months. Very strong, sweet and syrupy. I find a resemblance with sticky dates by lush but i definitely prefer this

I instantly get a smell of rhubarb and custard sweets! I then get the smell of cardamom, it does settle nicely. I like it!

One of the best fragrances that presented the coffee note in a balanced, sweet, and less spicy way.

Guys, I just bought it; this is 97% Lush’s Sticky Dates body spray. Strong and long-lasting.

Just coming back to say that this perfume is 10/10 gorgeous and insanely amazing.

@mllpgria45 No if ur a fan of gourmand get it ur not then its not for you

I really like it but my sister asked me to to wear it around her.
