Too bad about the sillage!

A balmy Saturday evening in Corona times: Let's write a review on Parfumo.

Since I've been following YouTuber Demi Rawling for a while and find her content good over long stretches, the fragrance of course didn't pass me by and certainly I would have blindly picked up a bottle if it had been either cheaper or different in note composition, since gourmand scents aren't really my fragrance prey scheme. Also, because before the initial launch, it was "advertised" that it was a one-off release of Demi Rawling and FDB's collaboration with the motto "when gone, gone". That doesn't seem to be the case now, with a relaunch due in early April.... well... I'll just leave it at that...
I have received the fragrance from a sharing. Curious I was then but! In addition, I wanted to test gladly times a FDB or a high-quality Gourmand:

On the whole, I am of the opinion that the fragrance is already approximately as Demi Rawling also describes him. It opens quite interesting and creative and very varied compared to the rest of the fragrance - spicy, fresh, tangy and only very slightly sweet. I really enjoy the opening and it lasts for a good half hour before the scent develops further and the sweet, warm, yummy notes take over. Caramel, in particular, then runs through the entire rest of the scent in my opinion. I search in vain for coffee - at most it's a caramel frappuccino a la Starbucks - but I can't find a proper coffee aroma. Too bad! That would certainly have been an interesting contrast.... In the base, slightly woody and greenish notes then come in, but these are merely in the background, but offer an interesting and fragrant counterpart to the caramel sweetness.

All in all, the fragrance is in my opinion but not too sweet, but just right, as well as really tasty and very pleasant. A slightly alcoholic touch you get in the base with a little imagination possibly also still.... Even if I'm not of the opinion that the fragrance is "perfectly unisex", but tends to the feminine, I really like it and so I can not really understand the rather negative reviews here so far. The sillage, however, as you can already see from the headline, must unfortunately really criticize... completely without projection - apart from the start of the fragrance - is pretty stupid, intimate cuddly fragrance for togetherness or not. :-) The durability on the other hand I would like to praise! The really holds very well, without that I now want to make a time statement, but great deductions I can not make there.

Conclusion: I really like it! I would still not buy a bottle, because Gourmanddüfte just do not fit me and a certain projection is already important to me. But that is of course subjective. All in all, he smells in my opinion but very high quality and balanced.
