Poire & Cacao

I have the body lotion and bath gels, sadly, the EDT never made it to the U.S. Please grant us access this Christmas, Yves Rocher! XO My review is limited to lotion and bath gel. It is very gourmand, like a white chocolate and pear pie.

I have the bodylotion and as simple as it is... pear and cocoa.. I just love it, and often use it for layering with perfumes such as Alien, Voile d'Ambre and Dune.

This scent is simply delicious to all pear and cocoa lovers, like me. This is a scent that I wish was edible. This is also a great variation for us gourmand lovers from the vanilla and coconut based scents, which so many gourmand scents are all about. And while this is sweet, the cocoa balances out the sweet notes in just the perfet manner. Sweet but not overly sweet at all. This one is pure cocoa and pear heaven. Very simple and very cozy - nothing more is expected or needed here.

This is what it's supposed to be and it smells like (dark) chocolate with pear bits or flavour. The opening remind me of liqueur with cacao and pear scent/flavlour and that's probably because of the alcohol in it. It's definately a sweet, candy-like scent and I do enjoy it but I'm not too happy with the quality - it's a bit diluted and has too much alcohol. I recommend it to someone who loves pear and chocolate/cacao together and aren't too fussy about a mediocre quality.

It's mostly cacao, I don't hate it because it is not too sickening like other food-inspired fragrances. The only gourmand perfume I have, because it is gifted to me (by a not-so-close friend who probably doesn't know I hate gourmand) for Christmas. The bottle is quite big, I don't know when I can use it up.
