Goddess Burberry 2023 Eau de Parfum

Goddess - a very beautiful everyday fragrance that suits every situation.

Goddess is not a lady in a pompous gown for me - she definitely doesn't overdo it.
She has something very warm and comforting. Her dress of vanilla and cocoa hugs softly. Lavender blossoms are woven into her hair.

You have to like lavender, although I perceive the lavender here as much softer than, for example, in Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum Intense.

The vanilla is very sweet - but for me not edible - and takes away the herbaceousness of the lavender.

Overall, it is a rather soft scent that feels very cuddly and velvety to me. I only perceive the ginger very lightly - had I not seen it in the notes, I probably wouldn't have noticed it.

In the end, the cocoa actually wins for me here; the vanilla becomes a lovely chocolate vanilla. But again, not really edible. I would rather describe the cocoa as cocoa butter - not because it becomes buttery, but because it is more of a less sweet note - unsweetened. However, the vanilla keeps it sweet, but does not overpower. Here, the lavender maintains the balance.

I would describe it as a non-edible gourmand.
For me, a very successful composition of sweet and bitter.
