almond-minty
I don’t see a girl from nowadays here. It is not like all other perfumes. It has a different approach. It is almond-minty and refreshing.
The opening is fruity and zesty with some traces of pistachios. Then, in a few minutes, the composition becomes refreshing and minty. Maybe the mixture of orange blossom and almond, the notes listed, result in a minty smell. I feel a minty odour with a touch of ginger. Like a cold shower in a hot summer day. The almond is there undoubtedly but it stays somewhere behind and appears from time to time to touch this sparkling composition with a sweet magic wand.it is very interesting how the perfume evolves on the skin.
Then, after a while, the almond takes control of the smell. It comes in front. The smells change between them. Now I feel almond as the main smell while the minty odour goes somewhere backwards. This almond note stays until the end and becomes more and more sweet with a creamy facet.
The base is warm and sensual with tonka-patchouli-almond mixture.
Girl of Now is not a wow composition but it is bold in its own way. It does not respect the market requirements. It goes along with other perfumes but I think it will find the right girls for it.
Anyway, the bottle seems to be made today for today’s girls.
If you are a fan of Elie Saab perfumes and you like almond note in a composition, this is a try for you.

Only for gorgeous
Maybe I'm too old fashioned , maybe i'm too against the mainstream, but it seems to me that certain fragrances of nowadays come out not from a perfume laboratory , but from "The great baker" or "Master chef"!
I tested a few hours ago Girl of now and i must say that the pistachio and Almond notes are too strong.
It must be a fragrance, not a sicilian cassata! The patchouli base is good, warm and pleasant, but all is too, too sweet.
Me too I like many oriental-gourmand fragrances, but only if the ingredients are well combined and the sugary notes aren't too intoxicating.
I'm sorry because i'm a fan of Elie Saab fragrances, but this one isn't my cup of tea!

Okei gourmand lovers, this is something for you
A delicious, beautiful, nutty fragrance with a hint of an almost bitter note in the pistachio for a bit of a kick, this sweet vanilla, tonkabean cashmere sweater of a perfume could be a staple of yours and even a signature scent if you love gourmands.
Dominique Ropion has done it again, one of the worlds best, most celebrated perfumers release yet another vanilla gourmand heaven. The lasting power is impeccable for your buck, so is the silage, you'll have a lot of fun with how strong this fragrance is with just a few sprays and for a middle- of-the road perfume in terms of price point. BUT... you have to love nutty, warm scents and you have to like sweet perfumes. If not, this is not for you.
There is also a beautiful pear and orange blossom accord in the opening, making it likeable, a touch more elegant and fit for office if you're gentle on the sprays. It's really fun, upbeat and uplifting and the drydown is additcive, warm and cozy and vanilla-y, with almond, cashmere and lactonic notes as a base. If you want a strong fragrance that makes a statement, this is for you. Not a summer scent though, as I think the sweetness of it can get too cloying in the heat, but perfect for spring, fall and winter. I think it is fit for a younger leaning woman, anything between 17-37 or maybe even older if you love it and can pull the sweetness of. I love it and can't be without it. It was even once my signature scent. Thank you Dominique, this one is so much gourmandy fun!

synthetic disappointment
I like the notes listed in this one, and the bottle is so cute. And I love marzipan and heliotrope notes. Sadly, when I actually sampled it, it made me think of the worst of industrial bathroom soaps. The only note listed that I'm not fond of is orange blossom, so naturally it's the orange blossom that punches me in the nose here. A sickening experience, and I'm jealous of the nice experiences other reviewers had.

Nutty a bit too sweet
I'm not usually very fond of this house's offers, but this one is very good for those of us who love nutty notes. Good performance, sweet almond easy going perfume. I still love L'erbolario's Mandorla better for its super realistic slightly bitter green almond fruit from the tree beginning

Sweet, fruity, nutty, creamy & floral. Youthful & fun but not immature. Very versatile, comfortable, good for layering. Gourmand-ish.

Love pistachio fragrances but this one is just alright; didn’t wow me. I get something bitter under the creaminess which I don't enjoy.

To me it's cloyingly sweet and artificial. I only like the dry down where it's creamier. Def not a fully body gourmand.

One of the first perfumes I bought myself as an adult - sweet, nutty, brightly floral. A true favorite!

You’d think with almond and pistachios it’s more special than the other gourmand, it’s not, the opening is even pretty bad

Absolutely fabulous! The nutty bitter almond blended with magnolia create such a intriguing accord, sweetened by neroli with dirty patchouli

Nice, marzipan-y initial spray but then turned into generic gourmand sweetness. Not for me!

Not so exceptional performance on some skin types. Not so exceptional scent either. It's one of the many really pleasant similar fragrances.
