Gâteau à l'Ananas

Gâteau à l'ananas by Tomavicci (created by Masterperfumer Chris Maurice) I bought my bottle during the Tomavicci presale and received it 3 days ago. Gâteau à l'Ananas is like walking into a fancy French bakery and being handed a slice of warm pineapple cake, but with a little extra drama. Right from the first spray, you get this blast of juicy pineapple soaked in sweet rum — it’s bold, boozy, and feels super rich. But give it a minute, and it starts to soften. The cake note comes through, warm and fluffy, and suddenly it’s less about the rum and more about that golden, slightly caramelized pineapple on top of a soft, buttery cake. On my skin, the rum is noticable in the dry down but very soft. If you’ve ever been to France, you’ll get it — this isn’t your typical overly sweet, sticky dessert scent. It’s sweet, yes, but in a French luxury way: elegant, grown-up, and balanced with just enough spice. The cinnamon adds a cozy warmth, the coconut and sugary nuts make it creamy and textured, almost like the real thing but elevated. Its not at all a cold weather fragrance, its perfect for spring/summer. As it dries down, it turns into this smooth, cakey vanilla with soft tonka and a clean musk that keeps it from getting too heavy. It’s comforting but still has that luxurious, dressed-up feel. Just a heads up — this stuff is strong. Two sprays max in the start, or you might go nose blind quickly and forget you’re even wearing it (while everyone else definitely knows you are). But when you get the balance right, it’s like wearing the chicest pineapple cake ever. Sweet, cozy, a little flirty, and totally addictive. Its been with me now since 3 days and i had time to test the longevity, sillage and projection. If you tried Opulentia Oud and thought this is a strong fragrance, Gâteau à l'ananas is much stronger, in a very pleasant way, with a huge projection and sillage. PS: Love the new caps, they are much heavier, luxurious and i assume chrystal? Or chrystal like💛? Defin. a great upgrade. All Tomavicci fragrances are inclusive to all genders and unisex, i would say its more on the sweer side however, the boozy rum note with the nuts must smell wonderful on all genders.

THE CHEF'S KISS! A tropical pineapple dessert that smells as exquisite as it is incredibly realistic. Gâteau à l'Ananasopens with stunning fruity realism, combining exquisite aromatic molecules. The diffusive sweetness and juicy fizz of pineapple intertwines with the delicate and volatile aroma of a spongy sponge cake, slightly liqueur-infused with a hint of rum. These accords, in turn, merge into a dazzling symphony of tropical notes, with warm and spicy nuances of cinnamon and nuts combined with creamy hints of coconut. The mastery with which these aromachemicals were combined definitely evokes culinary reminiscences, like those sublime walnut cakes subtly dusted with refined sugar, ideal for accompanying a delicious cup of tea in one of France's most prestigious pastry shops. Oh yes! My perception of the heart of Gâteau à l'Ananas is absolutely captivating, and it never ceases to amaze me! However, it doesn't end there; the base develops with harmony and balance, revealing oriental accords with ingredients like vanilla, tonka bean, and musk. These notes provide a balsamic, creamy, and vanilla sweetness, with subtle almond nuances and delicate spicy touches. All rounded out with the purity of musk, anchoring the fragrance and imparting depth and richness to the composition. Personally, this perfume has provided me with a very comforting sensorial and olfactory experience! I can only say that Tomavicci has succeeded again. As I mentioned earlier about Xanat, this perfume is perfect for those seeking a masterfully orchestrated and balanced fragrance, capable of combining sophisticated gourmand sweetness with adult elegance. The diffusion is moderate and the substantivity on my skin reaches 8 hours.

I added 2 bottles of Gâteau à l'Ananas to my collection at excellent low prices . The opening is an indulgent burst of pineapple syrup melting into rich cake batter: luscious, slightly nutty and very gourmand. It feels like dessert with a touch of sophistication. Some claimns it's too much, I don't care, I love it. This is what pineapple fragrances should be like, just like the Garnier Fructis Pineapple Hair Drink - love that too! As it develops, smooth rum accord begins to emerge, turning it into something that reminds me of a tropical tiramisu, minus the cocoa and coffee because this pastry has clearly gone on a beach holiday. Despite its richness, the composition remains remarkably well-balanced and never crosses into cloying territory, to my nose. Performance is outstanding. 8 hours after just 2 sprays, the pineapple is still vibrant, prominent and full of life. The drydown also gives me strong echoes of sugared vanilla in Tihota, which is a delightful surprise and an added bonus. A word of caution: less is definitely more. 1-2 sprays are plenty. 15 sprays would likely overwhelm an entire room and transform this beautiful fragrance into an olfactory safety incident. Fragrance should leave an enticing trail, not trigger an emergency response. I'm especially happy that I managed to secure two bottles, which is probably more than enough to last me a lifetime. As for gender? Completely irrelevant here. If the idea of pineapple-soaked pastry and rum-laced dessert appeals to you, wear it with confidence. Great fragrances don't have boundaries, and neither should the people who enjoy them.

What completely ****es me the **** off about Tomavicci is that they use SUPER CHEAP bottles exactly the same as 'Mocha Wood' and 'Green Sapphire' by Fragrance World TO THE METAL PLATE AND STICKER. I used to own / use both..... they cost $10-15 each! Also the cap is PLASTIC and LIGHT, versus FW that uses METAL CAPS. Lo & behold the fragrances are made in UAE, their bottle (and probably juice) supplier is probably same as Fragrance World. Absolutely unacceptable for this price range of 'Niche'. Get custom made bottles or supply ones that aren't recognisable. For the perfume: yes it's delectable asf. Basically a waffle moist cake dipped in hot caramel with melting vanilla ice cream and topped with some baked pineapple. Pretty linear. Smells 90% the same as Gelatino by Gleam, but that fragrance is more dense and rich without any fruity notes, while this has a bit of airiness to it. Absolutely 0 likeness to Nota Sugar. If you hate pineapple but want the same DNA, get Gelatino. Scent vote: 10/10, Bottle vote 0/10. Worth the price: No, just because the bottle and cap is literally a $10 perfume, bruh

SaroKhan described this perfectly. I don't have much more to add other than my cap is obviously plastic, not heavy, and feels cheap. I guess I didn't get the "upgrade." Beautiful ombre bottle though! A lovely sophisticated gourmand. At first I thought it was going to be too much for me, too sweet and heavy but as she said, it quickly mellows making it an easy wear. The rum and pineapple are top notes and act as such. The rest of the notes are what I experience the most for the majority of the time with drying down. I 100% disagree that this smells anything like Angels Share other than they both have boozy notes and gourmand vibes. Angels' share is like spiced apple pie to me with a glass of cognac. This one is rum soaked pineapple sponge cake with coconut and nut shavings. Big difference to me!
