Lostmarc'h Lann-Ael

Lostmarc'h is a perfume house located in Brittany in France. Lostmarc'h refers to the last beach in continental Europe. Lann-Ael translates to Angel Heath in Breton. This scent has been compared to a bowl of cereal with milk for the skin. With a note list of buckwheat, cereals, milk, apple and vanilla you can see where this comparison comes from. From the top for me I get the milk note but also a lot of vanilla and the apples are there but quite muted. Because I was in a cereal frame of mind when putting this on I found the comparison cereal to be Cap'n Crunch. This smells like I remember my bowl of Cap'n Crunch smelling after I had eaten all the cereal and there was a little milk left in the bottom of the bowl. What you smell at the top pretty much sticks around for quite a few hours as it develops it becomes creamier as the vanilla takes more of a central role. This is a really unique smelling scent that lasts quite a while on me. I can see wearing this to bed and having sweet dreams of my childhood.

There are a lot of milk-vanilla frangrances but that was the only I wanted to buy. I feel very cosy in it. It reminds me about my childhood and bear-cakes that my mother seeped into the milk for my breakfast. It was sweet, very sweet and milky. And that's all. It's not the masterpiece, but a ery good thing.

Thanks to Lizzie_J, I've met this fragrance I'd never have sought for myself, but have encountered on the road to finding a scent for my daughter. Two sniffs and I was instantly transported to the concession stand at a movie theater--various sweets with a hint of buttery popcorn in the background. I'll leave this for the younger generation to judge for themselves. Not for me, but not offensive.

Very, very interesting and different. I get the distinct impression of a very foody sort of fragrance, like cream of wheat with vanilla in it, made with creamy whole milk -- it's nice but too mild for my taste. Worth a sample size try just because it's so unusual.
