Sacred Louis Cardin

I have heard a lot about this perfume.
My curiosity was piqued when I heard that it is supposed to smell chocolatey, I love that kind of scent.
I bought it blind and was unfortunately quite disappointed.
I searched in vain for chocolate here.
However, it seemed quite familiar to me.
It reminded me of Pink Sugar Eau de Toilette or also Soft Eau de Parfum.
I just don't smell the licorice, otherwise it is extremely similar to Pink Sugar.
I would say about 85-90%.
After looking at the fragrance notes, everything became clear.
Musk, sandalwood, and vanilla are present in both scents.
With Sacred, not all notes are visible, but I am pretty sure that the rest must also be almost identical, because it smells so much like Pink Sugar.
However, Sacred is a little more masculine, a bit less sweet, not as synthetic, and more mature than Pink Sugar.
A true gourmand with a very sweet note that has something of cotton candy, but definitely not chocolate.
Additionally, there is a very sweet vanilla and probably musk or amber that adds a bit of spice to it.

The performance could be better.
The longevity is okay, but the sillage leaves something to be desired.
This is a scent that you can definitely spray a bit more if you want to stand out.

Both genders can wear it.
However, for my nose, it was a bit too feminine, so I had to let it go, and since it smells similar to Pink Sugar, I am just not a fan of that scent.
