   |  I agree with Trebor. This does not strike me as a unisex fragrance. It starts out very sweet gourmand and morphs into a sweet, nutty vanilla tobacco...with the emphasis on sweet and nutty and not on tobacco. This is a pedestrian fragrance especially since it comes from L'Artisan. I usually find that the L'Artisan fragrances (not the Serge Lutens fragrances) are harder to wear, but this one is a cinch! There is no sillage and the longevity is lacking. 25 October 2009 |
   | A pleasant vanilla and almond scent that comes across as more feminine than unisex. Its longevity is also quite poor. [Original submission date: 14 October 2006] 02 July 2009 |
  |  Wonderful. The scent that sucked me into niche. This is the truest almond note I've found in any perfume, and I've tried a few. The almond has a bitter edge, never veering into the candied cherry-Amaretto-marzipan sweetness that many almond scents suffer from. The almond fades quickly, too quickly for me (30 mins max), and is replaced with a fluffy, gourmand vanilla. Longevity on me is remarkably good for a L'Artisan - it lasts 5-7 hours easily. On fabric, it lasts days, and seems to retain more of the initial almond scent. 10 December 2008 |
   |  Well, it has been already said : Awfully weak and distant scent that is extremely linear, slightly sweet, milky and powdery. Could be worn by both sexes. Almond and vanilla. Vanilla and almond. Very shy. And as always with these L`Artisan fragrances, it has absolutely marvelous name to it. It would take huge struggle for me to write a lenghtier review out of this simple scent. 10 November 2008 |
 | I like it but it it's a little too doughy, a little smoke or wood would make it a keeper for me, since the almond & vanilla are real nice in this one. 03 December 2007 |
 | Ooooooo..... angel-food numminess. This is everything I've ever wanted a gourmand to be: light, airy, fluffy, well-whipped, subtle in its sweetness, and overwhelmed by egg whites! If egg whites had a scent... (hmmmm!) I have yet to try any of the Demeter cake scents (other than Vanilla Cake Batter, which is a *wee* bit too buttery, but still a great gourmand); I can only HOPE they smell this lovely. Angel-food cake. I'm smitten. 23 October 2007 |
