Grown up gourmand
How is this isn't on every cheapie gourmand lover's shelves, I'll never understand. If you've smelled Commodity Milk, you already have a good idea of how this smells. IS adds a sesame note that gives a dry, nutty note in the base. It lasts 6+ hours on skin which is stellar for me. I usually wear the body lotion, topped with the EDP, and then spritz some Milk on my wrists and nape of neck. This is the only fragrance I've ever considered getting a backup bottle for - the quality for the price is simply unmatched.

Sweet and Nutty
At first spray this fragrance is almost off putting. It opens with an almost warm burning smell. But, once it sits for a second, it transforms into a warm, comforting, fresh nut kind of smell. Not like peanut butter or anything, but just as if there was a bowl of nuts sitting on top of a fireplace. The vanilla comes through more and more on the dry down. It is an inoffensive but durable fragrance that always gets complements.

Nuts or what?
I ordered this perfume blind after reading Profuma's delicious comment about it, and I have now worn it several times. To be honest, at first, I was almost startled by the presence and power of this scent. What intrigued me in the description (nuts in chocolate) I could sense, but there was so much more...
Despite initial difficulties, I decided to get to know it better. It is an intense, dark, captivating fragrance.
Nuts? I am now of the opinion that I smell sesame here. I know the scent from the kitchen when I toast sesame seeds in a hot pan without oil to sprinkle them over a salad after they cool down. This is actually the main scent for me in Intimate Silhouette. All the other ingredients form a unit that envelops this fragrance, showcases it, and ensures that it doesn’t come across as bitter. In fact, benzoin and vanilla create a moderately sweet counterpoint. The way they interact is fascinating to me, and I constantly find myself sniffing my wrist to explore it further. And yes... it smells enticingly of chocolate, even though none is actually listed. Woods and musk additionally provide warmth and depth.
You can tell, I now really like this perfume - very much, in fact. It's funny that this isn't the first little fragrance that I've learned to appreciate only after several uses. My nose is still in the learning process :-)

Sillage: finally something that can be detected a meter or more away from me.
Longevity: many hours and still noticeable on the sleeve after 2-3 days.

So, I have summarized my impressions as best as I can. I know that my nose is not as trained when it comes to perfumes, and many of you have more expertise in this area.

In short...chocolate and hazelnuts ???
Chocolate and hazelnuts...?
Hmmm,,,chocolate and roasted hazelnuts...?
Better yet...warm, thick chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, and a little spoonful of vanilla...!
All of this is served in a warmed bowl on a similarly warm wooden board, whose steam subtly mingles with the fragrance cloud. If you like, you can sprinkle a bit of sesame over the already deliciously melting gourmand nose treat.
But why is the jasmine bouquet standing at the door??? Come on in...!
And the musk is just lingering in the doorway. It has its eye on the tonka bean, but it also doesn't dare to address any of the attendees. The three of them are living a life of extras in this olfactory experience, at least from my perception. The fragrance pyramid, elsewhere, suggests floral notes that are either absent or too few. They are swallowed up by the other notes.
Now the bottle shape; it leads in the wrong direction. Anyone who catches a whiff of this scent will hardly envision an elegant dress with pleats in purple. The name is also confusing. Intimate is not a word that applies here at all. The scent has considerable power and clings to the nose, the skin, and the fabric. This fragrance feels like it lasts forever, the sillage knocks out anyone who indulges too much in the dessert, taking everyone else in the vicinity along with it, and it prefers to feel at home in the cool autumn and winter. Especially during the festive season in December, I can wonderfully imagine this scent among all the other delicious clouds in the house and in the city, as it reflects the festive mood with all its culinary delights.
If Mugler's Angel Muse EdP already tastes like a winter dessert, this one from Siriano might also appeal to you. The angelic aspect is completely absent in it; instead, the nuttiness takes the lead.
Here, less is definitely more. Even in writing.
In short...there are hazelnuts bathing in chocolate...

for sensual hours


Magda enjoyed the gentle strong hands gliding over her body. She really needed that.
Work was stressing her out tremendously, every muscle was tense and she had lost all sense of her body. In the background, Reiki music played softly, the sounds gently drumming on her senses.
Relaxing was still difficult for her.
However, Petro, this handsome, athletic new masseur, noticeably lifted her spirits.
Petro let warm, pleasantly scented oil drip onto her body. The Tonka oil infused with jasmine essence sparkled on her skin. The intoxicating scent of dark woods and roasted sesame penetrated deep into her senses. This oil smelled so seductive and promising.
Entranced by the fragrance, the firm yet sensual movements of Petro's hands on her body, and the gentle rhythmic sounds of the music, she had to almost breathe away the rising desire that pulsed within her.

Damn, she hadn't expected that at all today. What was in this oil? An aphrodisiac? Just moments ago, she had been so "not in the mood" that she resembled an ice block, and now she was practically melting under Petro's hands?!

A pleasurable moan slipped from her lips, which Petro received with a grin.
"What kind of magic potion are you spreading on my body?" she whispered through her pressed lips to keep him from noticing even more that she was almost overwhelmed with desire.
"I knew right away that this oil would appeal to you, the scent suits you! Sensual, soft, warm, sexy, rich, deep." He emphasized each keyword with a firmer kneading motion on her thighs and buttocks. "Sensual jasmine, roasted sesame, warm wood, finest vanilla, a few drops of tonka syrup, and cuddly soft cashmere musk make this body oil the perfect companion for exactly these moments. It stimulates the senses to the highest..." he purred, continuing to lovingly glide his warm hands over Magda's body.
Magda felt transported to the seventh heaven, and the stress was blown away like dust.
...
30 minutes later, she left the massage studio heated and full of desire with her very own bottle of oil.

______________________________________

Intimate Silhouette is a super sensual jasmine scent akin to "Portraits - The Bewitching Yasmine | Penhaligon's".
A contour-rich jasmine fragrance that imprints itself on all senses.
For me, this is not a gourmand, sure, you can smell roasted sesame, tonka, and vanilla, but the sensual dark jasmine makes this scent enchantingly beautiful. Similarly attractive to Bewitching Yasmine or Alien (if you like it), just not quite as enveloping or overpowering... BUT jasmine in this form is definitely something you have to like. The sweet smoky undertones of tonka-vanilla must also be appreciated, as well as the velvety soft cashmere musk.
This scent strikes me as very sexy, slightly wicked, stimulating, and sensual.
Since I enjoy such fragrances, I had to have this one as well.
There aren't too many occasions when Intimate Silhouette (hypothetically speaking) would be appropriate, but you know me, I wear it to the office too. Even though I've heard a few times that I smell delicious enough to eat today. Whether that was due to the gourmand note, which I can't smell, or because the scent seemed sexy or attractive to others, I can't say. But I don't care.
THIS scent puts me in a stimulating constant state... and I love it!

Sillage and longevity: the scent lasts great, radiates nicely, and is a super affordable alternative to The Bewitching Yasmine.

The bottle: well, I don't think I need to say anything more about that :-)

One of my top five. Sesame love. Not as feminine as the marketing suggests. Reminds me of Sissa.

Chopped hazelnuts fall from the sky,
creamy river of sesame,
vanilla snuggles up to the sandalwood tree
dreaming of days gone by.

Noble, mature, affordable despite smelling like a € 300,- bottle that makes me melt and resembles a diva's gown. TOP

A fleeting gourmand, like everyone knows: vanilla/caramel/tonka. The silly name paired with the phallic bottle design speaks

Liquid chocolate drips onto the unvarnished wooden table! Next to it stands a cup with vanilla sugar! Great development, super long-lasting UNISEX!
