Marzipan Gourmand

I can’t believe I already have 4 TK perfumes in my collection which is not that big. I constantly order tester sets and skip on super hyped and expensive perfumes too. The only houses I have more perfumes from are Guerlain and Diptyque and I don’t like prominent gourmands. That being said, I first ordered Peach Macaroon & Matcha Ice cream BUT I should have trusted my gut as even though they feel special too, this one is the best from the house imo. This smells like Lost Cherry with a bit more sweetness and more almond. I tested it today again along with two of the Guerlain extraits which I contemplate and this one wins in both projection and overall happy feeling it gives me. It is so comforting, so well blended and so familiar. When I read Marzipan I would imagine dark chocolate, booziness but no, not at all. It is like a sweet hug and I will definitely layer with Tom Ford because this one has a better longevity.

Another first impressions of a Theodoros Kalotinis fragrance, because alas!— Summer pollen has found my nose and I am congested. At first, she doesn't smell of marzipan to me. I definitely smelled almond, sweetness, and, oddly enough, a hint of lemon? Which are all close to marzipan indeed, yet still miss the mark. But I let the sample sit a few minutes, as you do, and eventually there was a beautiful marzipan note. It does remind me a little of other très moderne gourmands such as Mirage Gourmand or such perfume houses as Jousset, Kayali, The Dua Brand, or Odette Parfum Co, but not quite as weak as some can be. Hopefully I'll update this review later.

Initial spray is sweet sugary almond-marzipan goodness. Dry down is straight Lost Cherry with a marshmallow background. I recognize that Lost Cherry DNA anywhere. I love Cherry Almond Blossom soaps/lotions so this is nice, but it is a very cherry leaning almond fragrance so just be aware! Its really good - not marzipan like I was expecting, but Im pleasantly surprised. On the fence if I will make this a full bottle purchase or not. Gotta test it out a few more days.

I ordered a sample of Pear Gelato but received this by mistake and I'm not upset about it because this smells delicious. Very accurate to the name, edible even!

This is beautiful! Just wow my sample is projecting beautifully I need a full bottle of this !
