Inside Out

smells like very delicious vanilla ice cream, but not too sweet, i realy love it, just wish this brand can make a bottle more beautiful. I got this discovery set at Esxence, unfortunately, in the box 6 bottles, 4 of them got revealed when I came back home. 2 bottles were totally empty, 2 bottles only a little left, and onlly 2 bottles were fine. So I really doubt the quality of this brand cuz I dont see good details of the discovery box. But I really like the whole collection of this brand.

I get a mix of Passionfruit, rosemary, vanilla and a intriguing touch of herbal scent I guess is the Absinthe. I enjoy this one better on my husband!. This fragrances definely worth every penny!

Received a decant of this at FragranceXPlore and tried it blind. In full disclosure, I am not much of a gourmand guy. It's not that I don't like them, but they all seem to smell like BR540 or Angel's Share, and I will probably reach for a gourmand once or twice a month in the cooler months only. This one was a nice surprise, though. While it is quite sweet, it is not fully linear. It opens to my nose with a sweet fruit accord, a touch of mint that cools the skin and sinuses, a nice dose of photorealistic artemesia (from which absinthe is derived) and musk. Over the next hour, the french vanilla accord steps forward, along with a candy apple that I associate with neroli/orange blossom. You wouldn't notice it on casual observation, but there are subtle hints below the surface of herbals - very hard to pinpoint due to the sweetness. At about 3 hours, I checked the listed notes to help identify the herbals. Thai basil (which is more aromatic and minty/licoricy than regular basil) makes sense in combination with the artemesia, less so the supposed rosemary. I would bet a dollar that this contains many elements that are not listed, especially mint, neroli and musk. This is truly unisex while not being feminine thanks to a lack of any florals. Performance is quite good, with projection for the first 90 minutes and wafts off of my chest and undershirt for 8 hours. By the 4 - 5 hour mark, this is predominantly a rounded vanilla scent supported by a pleasant but vague fruit/neroli accord, with the artemesia, thai basil and musk keeping it more interesting that your run-of-the-mill vanillas like Mercedes Club Black or Lolita Lempicka Green Lover. A very solid gourmand that smells different from most of its kind. This all begs a few questions, though. First, while this isn't like BR540 or Angel's Share, it would be worn in the same circumstances, and those around you probably wouldn't notice anything other than it smells sweet and nice. Second, given the primary and quite inexpensive elements of vanilla and neroli, can someone really justify paying over $200 for a bottle of this. If you are a lover of gourmands, and are okay with these two points, you should definitely get a decant of this and try it for yourself. For me, my bottle of Khamrah and a few niche gourmand decants should last me a lifetime.

It’s a pleasant sweet scent. It really does resemble an ice cream, but not overly sweet one. It’s close to skin and I almost can’t smell it after 3 hours. I’d say it doesn’t worth the price unfortunately.

I do like this. I wish it had more ice cream in it. It is sweet, yes but the other notes are more prominent. Very nice. Went through a decant from MaxAroma but I’m not sure I’ll get a full bottle.
