detritius Report post Posted March 1, 2012 Croquembouche with almond silk and a drizzle of caramel. Mmm. Buttery, boozey caramel sauce, the kind you're supposed to drizzle over something, but you really want to scoop up and eat with your fingers. The boozy note fades down as it dries, letting the scents of almond and honey come out under the carmel. This is mouthwatering, and I'll have to remind myself not to wear it on the days when I have to skip lunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Numanoid Report post Posted September 7, 2012 Wow!!! First sniff from the bottle....STRONG caramel BOOZE!! Almost feel woozy just smelling it. The booziness fades only a bit on my skin....I don't get honey or almond from this. Might seem odd, but the closest I can come to describing this on me, is a caramel flower soaked in booze. I know, no floral note listed, but that's what I get!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ObliqueRed Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Wet and in the bottle, this is a massive, boozy blast of ALMOND with a cherry undertone. Once it dries and wears down on my skin, it fades pretty quickly down and becomes kind of vaguely foody/boozy. I don't think my chemistry likes this one.

MiasmaResonance Report post Posted January 8, 2014 Sadly, this is weird berryish floral on me... I wanted almond and caramel so much. It's okay, but not something worth keeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aiobhan Report post Posted August 22, 2014 In bottle: ... Is that cherry cough syrup? Weird. But I do smell something buttery. Wet on skin: Still REALLY strongly kind of almondy/berry and sharp. Not super pleasing. It's starting to mellow a little bit, though. After an hour: Apparently my skin just hates almond accords, because the same thing happened to Louve by Serge Lutens - the almond gets really sharp and berry-like. THAT SAID, it's mellowed out enough that I can smell the caramel and pastry notes behind the almond. Hopefully after a few hours it's balanced out. Worn all day: A wee bit of caramel, some sharp almond, and... not much else, actually. I wish it was more caramel! Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizziesLuck Report post Posted September 5, 2015 This was a lovely frimp. Wet: Very chemically, sort of artificial caramel. Dry: I'm not sure if the almond is the culprit, but this goes pretty wonky on my skin. Very artificial and almost soapy. Too bad, as I love foodie scents.

donkehpoo Report post Posted June 27, 2018 Wet: Lots and lots of almond, with something almost boozy-smelling in the background. Dry: Mostly almond still, with a warm pastry note and a little caramel. Yum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilyWhorror Report post Posted July 22, 2020 This smells like straight up cough syrup & baby powder to me. I get no almond at all, which was disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
