(M)a little green gourmand

Of the three Les Notes Gourmandes fragrances, this is the only one that does not have a "real" gourmand name, but rather the name of a plant. Heliotrope is also called "vanilla flower" or "cherry pie flower", because its smell is reminiscent of vanilla and marzipan. Heliotropin has already sweetened many a noble perfume and also found its use here.

The older sister in the Les Notes Gourmands trio was the most unwieldy for me - as its sweetness is mixed with a portion of balsamic spice and the fragrance comes along overall in a certain way green. The first half hour was particularly difficult for me - I got a full load of benzoin balsamic, so I certainly understand the medicinal associations of some perfumas. After that, the fragrance becomes more conciliatory, and the green-tinged sweetness comes in and really caresses you. Whether this sweetness should now resemble pistachio ice cream or Amarettini cookies, this is left to the preferences of each tester:).

The scent lasts on my skin about 7 hours, the projection and sillage are good. On the clothes, the scent lasts much longer and could then already seem intrusive.

I have not quite warmed to the fragrance, although it is undeniably interesting composition. For all who want to try a sugary gourmand special kind, he would be worth a test.

Gumdrop custard

I find the fragrance not particularly sweet compared to Dragee. The is a sugar bomb against it.

Some note bothers me immensely. The same note that bothered me in the longer course at MMM.... of Juliette has a Gun.
I smell pistachio and dried almond and something that reminds me of rubber and overcooked custard. I had a kneadable eraser in my advanced art class and I can detect that smell here.
If it were a dessert, I wouldn't eat it.

Mixing phase: Woodruff Edition

I just read all my previous reviews - what can I say: you guys are right.
Knead score. Yes.
Gourmand. Yes.
Pistachio ice cream. Sure, likewise.
What still strikes me directly, is ne strong tonka bean, which smooches there with all the other gourmandigen notes rumknutscht.
Now comes the hot take: do you know the scent that flows towards you when you tear off the aluminum lid of such a packaged Waldmeisterwackelpudding with vanilla sauce (not the one with the separate box, the story!)? No idea what note game is to blame, but I smell this point where the custard turns slightly green from the dye from the woodruff jello and takes on the aroma slightly as well.

Minded pudding eaters who also enjoy such two phases separately (instead of just buying the stuff in separate chambers...): I see you and you certainly know what I mean.

Who is looking for pistachio, will find it

Pistachio it should be. After a long search in the forum I was brought on the trail of this fragrance. First, a quick turn to the delightful bottle in the matching color. Beautiful to look at with its pleasing shape, pretty label and the gold/crystal rest of the outfit. Girly bow included. The spray head then releases a massive dose cloud of the pistachio cream ice cream. Sweet, fluffy, and durable as hell. Everything else is creamy garnish, the pistachio bravely keeping its head above water. When it became too much and too sweet for me, I resorted to my secret weapons, with which I bring in a salty component, without covering the heart notes:
I layered with Jo Malone Wood sage and salt and also with Valmont Sea bliss. Both worked with the pistachio.
This is such a reward scent, freely after the motto, I treat`mir times what for the time out. Every day I do not want to wear the, but for the little trip in the summer perfect.
The flacon could have an independent value as an eye-catcher.
