La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum Lancôme 2012

The mental light flash: Finally, finally, finally I understand what is meant by "Gourmand." Something that is supposed to make you crave sweets, right? As Garnet already noted: pure cotton candy, along with roasted almonds and a few other things that pull the fillings from my teeth. Sticky like caramel, chewy candies, licorice snails. I actually like sweet scents, but somewhere here the limit is reached. Fortunately, the sugar bomb subsides a bit, only to be found deep down again. I recognize absolutely nothing powdery or floral here, unfortunately also nothing of my beloved tonka bean. Too many pralines around. And here the signal lamp lights up: I should urgently schedule an appointment for a routine check at the dentist.
The only glimmer of hope: I don't have a whole bottle, just a small 1.5ml sample that will take up little space in my sparsely furnished quarters, until one day in hopefully the distant future the lights go out for me.
