Hey you love, nice that you are here again to read a new Kommi from me :)
Today we are talking about Gourmand Coquin, a fragrance from the Les Élixirs Charnels series by Guerlain. And as the name already suggests, it is a gourmand scent that you sweet toothers might like :)
He's testing gourmand scents this summer, will tell you now and may think I'm insane or even more insane than usual. But first of all it's a bit cooler than the murderous heat wave a few days ago anyway and secondly I know you think I'm crazy anyway, so what have I got to lose?! But it makes me realize what a reputation I seem to have earned here, as I already mentioned in some commi the other day... *sigh*
From now on there is a new commi-style from me. Objective, polite, without complaining and moaning, no insults and... bah.... You don't believe me anyway, do you? :D
Anyway, so I'm still... uh... "crazy strange" and I'm still writing absurd stuff about the most beautiful scents, he he. And Gourmand Coquin is actually one of the most beautiful Guerlain fragrances I've tried lately. It smells really great, but of course it's a ladies scent again... what you ladies can be happy about...!
The fragrance:
Wooow! I smell delicious chocolate and cocoa, combined with a little rum and vanilla (which of course gets stronger and stronger in the next few moments). All this results in a fantastic and deliciously fragrant scent, where you don't even want to remove your arm from your nose. You'd even like to bite into your arm (and now you know what it all comes down to when you ladies use the scent, don't you?) :DD).
But the best thing is that everything doesn't just smell like chocolate and so on, but despite the delicious and great scents everything actually looks like a portable perfume instead of just smelling like the stimulants. I don't really notice pepper, but this could provide the slightly tingly spicy scent.
The rum evaporates quite fast, but now some tea is used. If I had to be honest, I would never have thought of tea if it hadn't been listed here in the fragrance list, but still, sniffed so concentrated, I think it actually smells a little like it, even if it seems more bitter than smoky to me. Something smoky is already present, but in a resinous way, like myrrh or something (but even this is only small). However, the tea also quickly fades away and you smell a rose next to the gourmandig sweet scents, which now also comes across as smoky (probably because of the myrrh mentioned and so on), which is somewhat surprising, but smells quite good. In the background there are still some classic scented bergamot notes, which are only noticed by the way, but they are present and give the fragrance a little more character and provide a more perfumed "look" next to all the chocolate.
In the later base, when most of the fragrances have faded away, one then smells as so often almost only the vanilla, possibly with a residual hint of chocolate. Gourmand Coquin is therefore a gentle, soft, very fragrant and simply a very beautiful fragrance!
Sillage and shelf life:
The Sillage is good, but no firecracker. It seems a lot stronger at first than it actually is. But of course you are wrapped in a nice, bigger scent cloud and should therefore look nice and fragrant for many people. The shelf life is also quite good, because the fragrance lasts quite long, especially because of the gourmand scents like chocolate and vanilla, here are more than 12 hours loosely in it!
The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular, thin, high and clear. It is filled with a beautiful pink scented liquid. On the front side below you can see a metal plaque with the name of the fragrance series. The actual name of the fragrance is on the side of the bottle. The lid is also rectangular, flat and transparent. A very beautiful and also high-quality bottle.
Sooo! Okay, this is once again one of those fragrances I would absolutely recommend, without thinking twice, if you like gourmand fragrances. I think it's great that the fragrance still smells of strong chocolate notes at first, but then becomes more and more perfumed. This means that the chocolate loses a little of its intensity, but can still be smelled, so that everything together produces a sweet, beautiful fragrance that can be worn in autumn and winter.
Fragrances like these are the best way to go out. Yes, whoever wears such a fragrance should actually stand out positively, because a woman simply has to come across great with it. Namely totally delightful and sweet, but also elegant and sexy at the same time. Since you know me well enough, you can now scroll down here for a moment, because now the same phrases are coming forever...
Scroll from here if you don't want to see the phrases :D

.....
...oh, what a scent...
...so the women look even tastier than already...
...aaaaah, this is so delicious...
...no, don't run away...
...sweet, hot, rrrrrrrr...
...perfumes are stupid :D...
...so sexyyyyy...
...my mouth is watering...
...but is it because of the scent or because of the women??...
...did I say that perfumes are stupid?...
D

SO! Here you can read on, if you scrolled! D
So as I said, the fragrance is beautiful, totally great smelling and I can only recommend you to test it. Or to mark it for you at least for the autumn, because it's not soo difficult, as I had assumed, but still seems inappropriate for the midsummer.
And with that I have arrived at the end again and wish you all a great evening, until the next time :)
