The unassuming green-eyed ghost gently gazing gourmand
I am an enjoyer of perfumes and like to test all different types to see what's special about them in their own different categories. Gourmand has been challenging for me since I am sensitive to cloying, sugary syrupy scents. Marshmallow in itself is lightly sweet and I am happy that the perfumer did not overdo it in its complexity as well as not keeping it overly simplistic as well.
The green notes are really what makes this perfume special as it starts to come out after drying down. It is further enhanced by any other perfumes that complement those notes. In this case, I had sampled Finist the Falcon next to it which had green notes and was bright, citrusy and airy. Since I am on a budget and have a bit too much of rose scents, rather than make another full bottle purchase, my best alternative to achieve the same effect is Nectarine Blossom & Honey by Jo Malone.
