Powdery, Almond-y, Gourmand-ish Floral

On me, this doesn't really come off as a gourmand. It's more of an amber-floral or "floriental," but I'm not sure that really matters.

The first few moments of the opening are off-putting to me; it's something about the powdery accord, but it, literally, goes away in under a minute. The almond and orange blossom is SO lovely. I love it, even though I am heartily sick of orange-blossom at the moment.

The almond remains during the heart of the fragrance, although it is fainter. Combined with the heliotrope and iris, which maintain a softer, less prominent powdery accord, along with the jasmine, which tames the ylang-ylang, keeping it from being too sweet, I think the almond brings something rich to the florals, an *almost* savory quality underlying the sweetness of the fragrance. IMO, the heart beautifully blended and more complex than one might think from the notes pyramid.

The Burmese oud brings something special to the drydown for me. The oud prevents the drydown from being more "standard." I really enjoy the combination of resinous with the oud.

With one spray on each wrist and each inner arm at the elbow, the longevity is good, 8 hours or so; the projection is close to arm's length for not quite 6 hours, and there is a light but noticeable sillage trail.

My husband likes it on me, though he said it's not a favorite, but he doesn't like it on himself, finding it too sweet. We still agreed that Almond Harmony is definitely unisex and well-made.

It's not the fragrance for which I've been looking, but it is quite good. I'm enjoying my decant and am interested in testing more from

Tingly, spicy almond

A winter warmer that showcases the different facets of almond. At first I get a lot of heliotrope, iris and a general sweet floral vibe that gives the fragrance a cute dollhead note. But there is also a lot of tonka in this, and it's the spicy, cinnamon-like variety. It feels a little hot and tingly when I sniff it right from the skin and my upper lip touches the perfumed part of my arm, so maybe I have a sensitivity here and this isn't even supposed to be spicy... I don't know, I guess I shouldn't wear this, but it wasn't bad enough to stop me from sampling. If it wasn't for the tingly sensation, I would love this combination of sweet doll-like heliotrope and spice.

Underneath these two accords lies a doughy, marzipan-like warm almond base. Later in the drydown it turns very balsamic and becomes a cola-like amber scent, which I didn't expect at all. The peru balsam is quite detectable at this point. It's always such a nice surprise when perfumes uncover another layer after they've been on for hours, and that's what happens here.

Almond Harmony is a lovely scent for gourmand lovers that stands out due to its multilayered character. Just be careful with it if you're prone to allergies/irritations.

Amazing

Accidentaly tried this bcs the beutifull bottle took my eye and i was positivly suprised with the scent.
This at first has a uniqe expensive alchohol smell unlike my other fragrances until a few minutes its becomes what it shoud be, almond with vanilla, it truly is beutfull and its a sweeter scent i have to say , im ussualy not a huge sweet guy when it comes to fragrances but this one is an exeption, also it should be powdery and i hate powderyness but this one is completly fine so good job..
Its mostly almond, vanilla, tonka bean and something else from these 3: Heliotrope, Tolu Balsam, Peru Balsam. these give it a dark edge and depth.. some musk here as well im thinking.
Overall i rly like this and the bottle is also a piece of art.
Performance is a bit above average round 7-8 hours on skin and 1,5 hour of good projection.

Very helpful Review

Marzipan Amaretto

The first thing you can notice is a very nice intense, absorbing, viscous almond that encloses you in an incredibly creamy cloud of powder.

At the same time the almond is accompanied by a delicate sweet orange shade, which doesn't even begin to smell bitter on my skin and I have actually tipped on orange instead of bitter orange and I can imagine very well that the almond cancels the bitter property and I now smell one of my favorite drinks.

Namely Amaretto.

In the same breath it smells for me also after noble - marzipan and I do not like to decide and it simply:

Marzipan Amaretto name :-)

In the very background, a fine, almost fragile citric, very discreet flowery nuance is perceptible, which one really only perceives when smelling very concentrated and which is due to the bergamot in interaction with the orange blossom.

This constellation is noticeable on my skin for 30 minutes before the heart note unfolds.

The Marzipan Amaretto is minimally dimmed in the heart note and thus still very clearly perceptible and is very simple and profane thanks to the iris very lightly powdery and is given by the heliotrope a beautiful fluffy, creamy vanilla flavor, which is accompanied by a very delicate, airy, sweet flowery touch of the rose and the ylang ylang
Oh yes that the smell is a very sweet Gourmand - smell before the gentleman, I believe must not be mentioned at all and my calculations have resulted, by the way, that the smell has 26538 calories - PRO Spray of course :-)

Jasmine, on the other hand, I could unfortunately not perceive at all, but I can very well imagine that jasmine is responsible for the airy aura.

But actually, if you take it exactly, it's still Maripan Amaretto and I think that's just great.

The heart note is perceptible on my skin for 6 hours before the base asserts itself.

In the base nothing else can be perceived, only softer and softer and now from the Maripanischen Amaretto a clear working (musk), balsamic warming (Tolubalsam), sweet creamy (Bourbon - Vanille) coated powdery almond (Tonkabohne) has become
Perubalsam should remind according to Google of vanilla and cinnamon with a smoky Twist, which I could not notice in the base, but also not at all further tragically find, since she is good, as she is.

In total, the fragrance lasts 11 hours on my skin.

The Sillage is designed in the first 2 hours in such a way that one is perceived very clearly to the 2.5 meters and then oscillates 3 hours to a very clearly perceptible whole arm length, before it minimizes itself to the end of the smell in quiet steps
I would like to express my sincere thanks to our perfume "Cocinera" for the sample.

Almond dreams

Through a scent sample that I recently received, I was able to test Almond Harmony. Probably this will be my first House of Oud fragrance. Thick, sweet almond, vanilla and tonka bean - a pre-Christmas fragrance dream. One or two sprayers are quite sufficient and it's raining compliments (had him on it and was addressed 4 times within 2 hours, despite the minimum distance!) - I think it should be used with caution and it can definitely become too much as soon as you spray it over. Also the durability is great, I notice it even after more than 6-7 hrs. on me and that not only very close. sweet, gourmand, just dream a dream - who likes it.
