Dazzle of cinnamon

Like most CSP fragrances, this is simple and sweet and doesn't change much from start to finish. It's a grainy, doughy almond scent that reminds me of marzipan or cookie dough. There is a big load of cinnamon in this, too, which gives the scent a hot and spicy character. Tonka binds the almond and cinnamon together, so everything is smoothly blended.

I actually think this should rather be called Éclats de Cannelle. Not only is the cinnamon even stronger than the almond, it's also the more sparkling and lively note here.

This is a very warm, intense fragrance. In my opinion it would work best for autumn and winter, especially Christmas time. Cinnamon, cookies and marzipan just scream Christmas to me.

A nice scent, but I usually prefer my gourmands to be a little more complex, so it doesn't blow me away.

The Shine of Almonds

... so it is probably supposed to be called? The glow of almonds? Or rather almond shards? I am by no means a French expert - after all, Italian is the foundation of my bread and perfume endeavors, and isn't it true that people love either French OR Italian? Well - one thing I am in any case: a great almond lover and a bit of a connoisseur of almond perfumes. Now it is time to evaluate this almond perfume.
Basically, one cannot be angry with CSP: they cannot help it. Have they ever released a scent that has affected the olfactory senses differently than an éclat d'obus, a shrapnel?
I love coconut above all else. But can I really stand Coco Extrême? This bomb of sweetness is not a true coconut perfume. It is the awakening of a coconut association, through the name, the Caribbean-looking bottle, the desire for coconut. Does anyone feel differently about Vanille Abricot? Vanille Pineapple? Vanille Pitahaya? The hated Matin Câlin? The shocking Aloe Tiaré? Everything at CSP is always extreme, not just the Extrêmes. Personally, I honestly like Vanille extrême, but that is the only CSP scent I can tolerate on bitterly cold winter days.
Éclat d'Amandes, significantly more expensive than its extreme relatives, I wanted to get to know. Because almond perfumes are, as I said, a little hobby of mine, and I can inhale an authentic marzipan note for hours, especially when I'm on a diet again.
However, what unfolds when I use the truly high-quality spray head makes me recoil in shock: This is cinnamon. These are almonds. This is tonka bean. And here is even more tonka bean. The whole thing is incredibly, unfathomably sweet, it is bitter-almondy, yet without any depth, it remains on the surface, a brutal sugar brew that cannot be compared to anything in the kitchen, with no baking ingredients and no gourmand enjoyment: It is pure artificiality. Just as the fruit yogurt remains identifiable by the always-tasting artificial strawberry, even though it has nothing to do with strawberries, this sweet, overwhelming scent is marzipan-almondy, without the slightest connection to real marzipan dominated by almond paste, and cinnamon, rather cinnamon-like, as nothing, absolutely nothing, reminds one of the already artificially inflated roasted almonds.
Éclat d'Amandes is thus a strong, unmistakable shine of almond artificiality, a warning, neon blue sign with the signal: "I am invented! I do not exist! If you stuff yourself with a lot of fast food and artificial stuff, I might remind you of something! Just be careful if you still bake yourself or have ever smelled real almonds: Then run as fast as you can! Otherwise, I will overwhelm you with an éclat de bombe d'amandes, a real almond bomb shard! Don't do this to yourself unless you absolutely have to! Because... I last long! And I have a real éclat-de-bombe sillage!"
I fear there is really nothing more to add.

Mr. Cinnamon is confused:
"Who nibbled the chocolate
off my Mozart ball?"
Mrs. Tonka looks innocent:
"What chocolate?"

I have to correct myself: The more I wear the scent, the more beautiful it becomes. The perfect cozy after-work fragrance. So delicious, soft, and sweet.
