Accroche-Cœur Galimard Eau de Parfum

this is a very lovely perfume.

The openings notes are very sweet with cherrys and black currant, I also can smell a light apple note. The dry down gets warm and comfy I like the sandalwood and patchouli in this. it lingers on skin as a warm cherrie sandalwood with a touch of vanilla. I like it very much. it is not a overly sweet cherry as others can be.

Acchroche - Coeur is like a club that hits you over both ears, leaving several bumps in its wake. The scent is so sweet that it almost blows away my inner cells and nearly clogs my nose.

Applesauce right from the start - grated vanilla pods sprinkled on top - everything feels rather low-quality. Vanilla mixes with the intense apple scent. It gets really sticky at the beginning, but what follows takes the ground from under my feet. A real paste develops, spreading over my body and senses. A dull thud of sweetness surrounds me. Thick, black berries, so overripe that they shake me. This whole mess becomes so intrusive that I have to keep pulling my nose away. The scent feels rich, thick, but excessively overwhelming. If you're not a diabetic, this fragrance will surely make you (mentally) one.

After a while, the paste just gets thicker and constricts me. The berries begin to blend into the whole mush, and a hint of cinnamon appears, which surprises me for the first time, as you are simply overwhelmed by the components here. However, there’s a catch: the cinnamon doesn’t quite fit in and gets lost under the sheer weight of the vanilla. To all this excess, a wave of flowers comes in, settling into the mix like in a pre-made flowerbed - as if they would never leave. Everything is mixed in a suffocating air, in a room where no freshness comes in - then add tonka bean, and the sweet paste is at its peak.

It stays like this for a while. Thick paste that has settled everywhere. In my head, in my cells, in my hair, on my clothes - here and there and everywhere.

After 3-4 hours, the sticky stuff finally crumbles, and it becomes at least a bit lighter, but I can’t relax with this scent. My senses are glued, my head is pounding. I have nothing against sweet clubs, but this scent here nearly brings me to a standstill. In a negative sense.

For the sweetness, the paste that this fragrance carries, it surprises me that after six hours, it’s game over. Because only a hint of apple, vanilla, tonka, and co. remains. Slightly coated, but still not a pleasant smell. Everything feels crossed over each other, not coordinated at all. It’s a devastating verdict on my part, but there are only a few percentages, and only because it’s not extremely miserable and doesn’t fall under the Ed Hardy fragrances.

I don’t know who I got this sample from, but if I ever find out, I will go looking for that person and hit them with a club in the dark ;D

Thank you dear Antoine for the sample.

My dear swan! I smell as if I have swum through the Land of Milk and Honey. There are no roasted pigeons flying around here (which is also not a part of this fragrance), but I was covered in applesauce right from the start. Thick, rich applesauce, mixed with currants and plenty of cinnamon.

This fragrance is a treat for anyone who enjoys fruity, sweet, and creamy scents. At first, I thought uhhhhhhh, because I usually don't like such (lick me, I’m the cinnamon fruit fairy) fragrances at all. The cinnamon and apple are hard to separate. It gets more interesting later, with a hint of grave-like patchouli. I don't smell a rose. The inhabitants of the Land of Milk and Honey are throwing cinnamon bombs around.
And to top it all off, you also have to eat your way through a mountain of vanilla.
Baked apple with all the trimmings, baked by grandma in the oven, having been in there a bit too long. Delicious, delicious for all gourmand lovers, but not for me.
