With enough sugar to seize power to get many women!
Yes, my title might sound a bit strange again, but I had to think of the Simpsons by the name, or better said by the term "sugar". Why, I'll tell you only after the description of the fragrance, so you don't have to bored yourself to get away :D
So, today I'm describing a fragrance by Pierre Guillaume, the Sucre d'Ébène from the Huitième Art Collection, which is mainly about brown sugar. The peculiarity of the Huitième Art fragrances is, by the way, that here vegetable "ingredients" (like sugar here) in organic, i.e. as real ingredients are supposed to combine with synthetic fragrances. This is supposed to create a synergy of biological essences and synthetic scent chords. Well, as fragrance descriptions are, all this sounds interesting as always. Stupidly only that some smell descriptions also with less succeeded smells always seemingly a totally inspiringly described and marketed are always :D
But we'll see how this smell smells!
A little later, vanilla notes are added, which are initially like sugar in intensity, but then become somewhat stronger towards the base. Especially with its almondy-like scent, vanilla later looks a bit like cinnamon biscuits or hot, milky drinks such as coffee and the like. Finally, one smells the vanilla and the brown sugar most, which becomes a little stronger again in the base after it came over a little weaker in the middle part. The third, but weakest main fragrance is the almond (which, by the way, says goodbye first). The very late base also smells a little milky, even like crème brûlée, as Mantus already wrote here. All in all a beautiful, warm scent. However, it is neither particularly outstanding, nor all too boring.
The shelf life is long, the fragrance remains on the skin for at least eight to ten hours.
Okay, the scent basically smells like its name suggests: sweet sugar. And of course other sweet notes like vanilla, combined with a nice almond note. I like him, even if he's not a high flyer. If you like sugary notes, you should try this scent here, because sugar is one of the main scents here, which still radiates in the base of the scent for a long time. In any case, it is a fragrance for autumn and winter, although it should be used in small doses perhaps also on not too warm spring days. I think it's nice, but as I said, you have to like sugar as a fragrance, because you can smell it intensively here. I like to use it especially for going out or in my spare time. So, just test it out :)
So... what's the deal with my title now?
Well... it's possible I've been watching a little more "The Simpsons" lately. And because of the term "Sucre" I just had to think about a certain episode of this series. As a result, Homer Simpson finds sugar on the street, drags everything into his garden and tries to sell it in bags. When he nods off exhausted as he guards his sugar mountain, you finally hear him babble in a strange accent: "In America you have to have enough sugar before you can seize power. Then you can get all the women you want!"
I always found this sentence so great and funny, it belongs for me to the great sayings at the Simpsons, e.g. just like the saying of Tingeltangel Bob, who says on his chest in English "Die Bart, die! (so "Die Bart, die!") and was able to convince the court jury that the saying was German and that it was simply "Die Bart, die" (now pronounced in German) :D
Well, that's it from me again. See you next time! :D

But we'll see how this smell smells!
The fragrance:
I smell sugar right from the start. And in fact the brown sugar, which seems to have a slightly stronger scent than "normal" white sugar. But of course you can also say that you can just smell sugar, that's easy to notice here, especially if it sometimes reminds you of cotton candy from the fair. In addition I smell the benzoin, the fragrance is therefore slightly resinous, but above all velvety and soft. The background of the fragrance is somehow slightly woody and nutty. This woody-nutty scent becomes a little bit more almondy-like later. A little later, vanilla notes are added, which are initially like sugar in intensity, but then become somewhat stronger towards the base. Especially with its almondy-like scent, vanilla later looks a bit like cinnamon biscuits or hot, milky drinks such as coffee and the like. Finally, one smells the vanilla and the brown sugar most, which becomes a little stronger again in the base after it came over a little weaker in the middle part.

All in all a beautiful, warm scent. However, it is neither particularly outstanding, nor all too boring.
The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage is good because you can easily smell the scent on one. Over time, the Sillage naturally weakens, but which fragrance doesn't? The shelf life is long, the fragrance remains on the skin for at least eight to ten hours.
The bottle:
Hm, apparently the bottles here have been changed into rectangular bottles in the meantime, which I think is a pity. The earlier bottles still had slightly bloated and rounded ceramic-look bottles, but now, as I said, they come in a rectangular bottle covered in a shiny black colour, with a round brownish-black label on the front showing the name of the fragrance. These are the same flacons used for the Générale perfume range. Too bad, because a little individuality of the individual fragrance series of the brand is lost. Okay, the scent basically smells like its name suggests: sweet sugar. And of course other sweet notes like vanilla, combined with a nice almond note. I like him, even if he's not a high flyer. If you like sugary notes, you should try this scent here, because sugar is one of the main scents here, which still radiates in the base of the scent for a long time.
