The Guerlinade jumps out at me first thing when I spray this on and almost turns me off, because I'm not a huge fan of the heliotrope/vanilla and lavender combo. Almost like having nothing in the house to eat but an almond croissant when what I really crave is a salty jamon and manchego cheese sandwich. However, I'm glad I've given this fragrance a chance. The evolution it goes though as it catalogs its 68 ingredients is like looking through a kaleidoscope. The almond croissant trots up again as the scent comes full circle in its drydown - but by then the patisserie has become a fond acquaintance, if not quite my very best friend.
Curious to know if this note occurs early in the fragrance for others, or is it something you notice later on?
