Gourmand: Glutton or Sweet Tooth
Gourmands have always been those who didn't eat, but stuffed everything into themselves and devoured it. It was only here that I learned that there are gourmand fragrances that smell fruity, caramel-like, vanilla..........so somehow edible and sweet, and are for the sweet-toothed. However, I would have preferred to have the cheese cart here.
In classic kitchens, the pastry section is rather unloved: sticky fingers have always been the knockout argument for my colleagues not to take on this part of the kitchen. By the end of service, my aprons were abstract color paintings that, of course, in my opinion, were worthy of exhibition. I am a friend of gourmands, bring them on - I want to try them all!
Diadema is not the crown of creation, but at least a diadem. It smells orange-cherry, vanilla, caramel, and somehow creamy. Patchouli emphasizes the fruitiness. Jasmine is noticeable, while rose and ylang are rather subdued. And I could really like the scent if the caramel note weren't so overemphasized. It's as if the fragrance wants to say: Hey, I'm a caramel bomb, look at me! While this caramel note in Lira is more understated and smells like luxurious dessert, here it’s more in-your-face and therefore comes across as artificial. Artificial also because the cherry-orange combo feels like a cheap lollipop and not like a dessert. Only after an hour on my skin does the caramel note become pleasant.
