I don't like this one. There is a bottle of this stuff in my cologne cabinet for something, like, 12 or 14 years. It comes on too strong. It's supposed to be leathery but it's spicy blast of...
Chocolate Greedy takes you inside a bakeshop - a chocolate-mocha cake in your one hand, and a sponge cake in the other, then you sit by the trays of chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting. The...
This begins as a strong "dirty" blast of sweaty musk (giving Muscs de Koublai Khan a run for its money). It calms down to a powdery musk after 15 minutes. Slowly a delicate rose note...
Onto the fragrance. I was fortunate enough to be able to obtain a sample of this through a generous BN'er. In my quest to find a cheap alternative to Philosykos, This one was not what I was...
Pink sugar on the left, Fantasy on the right for Gourmand SnS Got a bit excited and changed into Lolita Lempicka and Ralph Rocks... yay for smelling edible!
Have a great day everyone!
Good morning everyone - no sun up yet, walking around with a flashlight - since workman snipped an electrical cord yesterday - thankfully not to the power for my puter or phone.
I have a singularly un-gourmand wardrobe - but found a sample here that I think qualifies - MPG Bahiana
Will wear it and think of Jorge Amado who captured Bahia Brazil with his pen - hopefully this will do it with scent.
I still have a horrible cold but I've just roused myself to go shopping - chocolate shopping.
So I'm wearing Angel in the extrait, which is far superior to the EDP. It's softer and more honeyed. I really love it.
For the s'n's saturday I'm wearing Angel edp.So almost scent twin with Indiscreet then I get notes like mint,grapefruit,honey and patchouli so far.Hope you all have a wonderful day.

.......I may go for this later in the day if and when my current combo of Vanille Abricot (Coco!!!) and Sex on the Beach (Melon! Pineapple!! Raspberries!!) wears off, which they tell me Demeters do. (I just HAD to get this 'cause of the name and besides Strawberry Net was practically giving it away.)
I luvluvluv this category. Just couldn't wait to see what all y'all were gonna do. Am scampering off to check out WordBird's Tesco's Finest Fig because the day is young and I may have to go figgy later on.
I'm testing Prada today. I don't think it's a gourmand but it definitely smells yummy! I think a purchase will follow (or a subtle hint for a Christmas gift :-)
My husband gave me an early Hanukkah/congrats on finishing Nanowrimo gift of a decant of Dyptique Do Son. So I am wearing it.
Thank you to sofresh, who recommended it as a nice tuberose! It's LOVELY, I love love love the second stage where it smells like warmth. Sadly, my skin eats it up in under two hours. Not even the listed note of musk shows up after that.
So I will switch to a gourmand after it fades. I am hoping for some samples from LuckyScent, so if they come I will try Untitled #5, otherwise it will be MaryKay Tribute - a perfume with a Cherry Vanilla Souffle accord.
Since I own very few gourmand scents as most don't agree with me, I'll choose one of the few that I do love and can wear well... HYPNOTIC PIOSON.Warm and delicious!
Today I am wearing Immortelle l'Amour, by Ayala Moriel , now my favorite gourmand scent, right up there with Aimez Moi by Caron. see review in Sniff and Speak thread
.... I got tired of sugary things and went right for my figs after the late morning shower and qui jong. Anthousa Fig and Vetiver and LAP Premier Figuiere. ("Gourmand" is anything I wanna put in my mouth - right??!!) ... yumsters!! Am thinking I'd like something berry-ish but tart to go with this.....any ideas??
I am wearing Ava Luxe Love's True Bluish Light (it's a light musk, but has lots of vanilla, so it counts as a gourmand, right?).
It was a gift from the very nice man who is helping me untangle and hang my Christmas lights around the outside of my house. He's doing chores for me and brought me a gift! I am spoiled.
I totally forgot about SnS today or I would have worn my beloved Alien. Anyhoo, I decided to try out my sample of Ange ou Demon. I got the smell of Brut meets Omnia on my skin. It's funny cause I wore Omnia yesterday and I thought that it must be in my room from yesterday. I went to read the review and someone else got the Omnia presence as well. So, I'm finally getting to the point were I may be able to figure out these different notes soon.....WoooPeeeee!!!
