Oven slippage
Yes, I like to wear a gourmand once in a while. But then the fragrances should not be too food-safe, otherwise it is simply no perfume for me anymore. Just such a case is Matin Calin from Comptoir Sud Pacifique. More food is almost impossible in one fragrance. The nice thing about it is that during the test it catapulted me straight back to childhood.
Childhood: For almost everyone this is automatically associated with delicious food at grandma's. But not with me. Because with me, it was Grandpa who conjured up a real culinary treat for the whole family every weekend. My grandfather was a trained cook. After the war he was employed in a company canteen in our industrial region. But on the weekends, he put all his heart and soul into feeding the family. That was my grandmother, my parents and me, who lived together under one roof. Besides the hearty classics, such as mixed roast, Swabian Maultaschen or Wurstknöpfle, he was also a professional when it came to Baden-Württemberg desserts, including the Swabian Ofenschlupfer. My grandfather was not even Swabian, but, as we used to say, "tastes good".
When I sprayed Matin Calin for the first time, I was standing in my parents' kitchen and my grandfather was preparing oven slippers. I could not only see the dessert made of bread with apples from our orchard meadows, milk and eggs as well as lots of cinnamon and raisins baking in the oven, I could almost taste it. There are neither apple nor raisin notes, but mainly warm milk, cinnamon and caramelized sugar. The sandalwood is not worth mentioning further, it is not noticeable anyway. I think it's the mixture of fresh milk (at that time of course directly from the farm) and egg that gives me this impression.
Since I naturally do not want to smell like an oven-slipper, the scent was out of question for me. However, this does not make the childhood memories I had when I was sniffing less beautiful. I think in autumn I'll have to find out how to prepare these sweet delicacies. Because of course I'd rather eat something like that than spray myself with it. But the fact that it's possible to be so food-safe in the perfume sector is what surprised me about the French brand Comptoir Sud Pacifique. Whether or not this is acceptable is, of course, a matter for everyone to decide for themselves. For fans of fragrances like Salt Caramel, I recommend a test. The shelf life of this dessert is in the mid-range with around 4-5 hours.
