The Experiment
The formula is simple:
((Cloves + Cinnamon + Nuts + Dried Fruits) x (Powder + Wood high smoky)) - Flowers
= Christmas Spice Cake
liquid root of Christmas Spice Cake
= Coeur de Noisette

The problem with this rather simple equation is rather proving it in practice. Hence the central question: Is a perfume that smells like this also wearable? Are there scent-addicted patients for whom this formulation promises relief?

Day 1
In the first practical test setup, test subject Aura has a drop of the mixture dripped onto her wrist. We observe dilated pupils and raised corners of her mouth. A. then leaves the lab and rushes into the hallway. She returns with a box full of Christmas decorations, which she balances one-handed with greater effort, as the other hand with CdN seems to be glued to her nose (Note: check if some idiot intern has swapped the labels of spray adhesive and alcohol again). Nevertheless, A. appears to be in a stable mental state.

Day 2
We give the test subject a bottle of CdN in one hand and a piece of bread in the other. A. seems confused about whether she should spray herself or pour the contents onto the bread. Uncertain, she nibbles at her scented wrist.

Day 3
The problem of self-cannibalism is resolved; an additional spritz of the Orange-Vanilla scent “Dulcis in fundo” from Profumum Roma has not eliminated the illusion of edibility, but A. is distracted, as she stands in the kitchen trying to bake cookies that smell exactly like that (we have taken the bottle away from her just in case).

Day 4
Within the lab and placed under isolation, A. now seems to have gotten used to CdN on her skin and clothing and remains behaviorally inconspicuous. We decide to test her in the wild and take her to her natural habitat, the office. Unfortunately, we first have to note a small setback; the test subject uses the back entrance, leaves the coffee machine and her colleagues without a greeting, and shuts the door behind her (and even in front of our noses!!).
About ten minutes later, the door swings open, A. marches past us with her head held high and a smile, blending in with the coffee crowd. Behind her wafts a trail of freshly sprayed CdN. We look into her office, puzzled. The Parfumo page is still open on the screen. And we realize: A. WANTS to smell different from others, this stuff is a hit!

A few days later, we discover a hand cream from essence at dm, “Gingerbread Chai Latte,” which smells very similar to our CdN. This means that this scent has long been established in the cosmetics industry!! And we are worried about wearability! Pah!

In any case, we have fulfilled our task and are now passing the project on to the Easter bunnies. Now they should deal with olfactorily implementing their festival.

Cloves and Gourmands in the Christmas Bakery
The scent has intrigued me for quite some time now; the fragrance pyramid sounds like an absolute must-have, but the descriptions here and in other fragrance forums have been rather off-putting.

I have had it on my skin for a good hour now, and I still don't really know what to think of it?!?
When I bring my nose close to my skin, Coeur de Noisette is a piercing cloud of clove spice, with shyly hidden warm gourmand hazelnut and amber notes in the background. No fruit, no flowers, no coconut! Cloves... a whole jar full of them! And that’s right from the first spray. Only after hours does it get better...
But: When I move my hand a bit away from my nose, I am enveloped by a dream of a warm, caressing gourmand. Roasted hazelnuts, bittersweet dried fruit, a few subtle but fitting floral notes, and the gentle sting of spices that balance the sweetness of the gourmand notes a bit and give the scent a bite that makes it more interesting.

So what now? To be honest, I still don't know... I think I need a decant and a long-term test. Because I am absolutely not sure if I want to smell like this when someone gets closer to me! :-D

By the way, my darling has been humming the melody of the Christmas bakery quite absentmindedly since he had to sniff at my wrist - and I think he doesn't even realize it!

love at the second sniff...
I love it. everlasting love. amore para siempre.

but let's take it step by step:

I had a sample of it. greedily opened it and sniffed in gentle nutty anticipation. my goodness, that was a shock. I was repulsed by a sticky sweetness and intense hazelnut aroma. and I immediately put the sample away. no thanks. I didn't even want to try it on my skin. not for me.

weeks later - I'll give it one more try before I swap the sample. bottle open, 2 drops on the skin. at first again the sticky wave. but then... throughout the day - wonderful! all the cinnamon that enveloped me! a lot of cinnamon. and a little more cinnamon on top. mixed with the hazelnut aroma, which then became gentle after all. I smell spices, I smell gingerbread, I love cinnamon. I love frankincense and patchouli - both of these notes are not present here, but can be similarly "special."

completely absent for me are floral notes. the amber also does not come through for me. with a lot of imagination, I can convince myself of fruity notes. please don't misunderstand - I don't miss these facets in the little nut. they just don't come to the surface in my nose/on my skin. for me, this divine scent is dominated by cinnamon, cinnamon, hazelnut, and ginger spiciness. paired with a seductive, intoxicating sweetness, resting on a small, subtle pile of wood.

the longevity of the little nut is fortunately also brilliant. both on the skin - and on textiles.

I love this scent. let's see how long it remains my favorite :-) I am now curious to wear coeur de noisette around the world, as I have a full bottle here now.

I am anyway glad that it is he who is the reason for my first comment here.

Chai Zero. Full flavor with zero calories.
Its origins lie in India, or rather Thailand. While sources indicate that the original form of this tea is about 5000 - 9000 years old, the triumph of Indian Masala Chai (Masala = spice/ingredient) began in the 1960s when black tea became accessible to the masses through a new processing method.
By now, Chai tea has also made its way into Western supermarket shelves and coffee houses, enjoying increasing popularity. The preparation options for this drink are particularly diverse, and the possibilities for refinement range from anise to cinnamon.
What does all this have to do with the ‘hazelnut heart’? Whether intended or not, Sinfonia di Note has created a very nutty interpretation of a Masala Chai with this fragrance. While the coconut is quite rare in the top note, the fruity notes begin to dance around the nose. However, it is not clear which fruits they are - I would guess plums or stone fruits.
As the plums slowly fade from the ensemble, nuts and spices, classically performing a Pas de Deux, move towards a spectacular climax. Initially balanced, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon dance around the increasingly fragrant hazelnut, which ultimately prevails and begins to dominate everything. The sillage is rather mediocre.
Just before the end of the performance, amber and woods join in, allowing the fragrance to conclude warmly and snugly - but no less nutty.
While wearing this scent, I feel as if I am sitting in a bathtub full of Chai tea with one hand in a jar of nut cream. However, I miss something essential. And that is the milk. 3.5% fat. What has been used here has at most a fat content of 0.3%. Please don’t get me wrong. The scent is beautiful, sweet, intense, and cozy, but pardon me, it’s bone dry. Whether Chai or not, a little more creaminess (milk or vanilla) would truly benefit the nutty heart, in my opinion.
If I am investing in such a relatively opulent spiced fragrance, I would like the original. Full flavor, full enjoyment, full blast of calories. No light version.

And if I happen to get into the Christmas spirit in October, I will reach for the counterpart from Parfumerie Générale. It has everything I miss in the nutty heart.

The longevity is about 4 hours.

Yogi Tea
Do you know it?
This is a very spicy, Ayurvedic tea that needs to boil on the stove for half an hour. Afterwards, it is strained, filled with milk, and the intense scent spreads throughout the entire apartment.
It doesn't get much more Christmassy than this, as the following spices are very present: cinnamon, clove, and cardamom.
Outside of the Christmas season, you only smell this spice bomb in Indian restaurants.
Coeur de Noisette is basically Yogi Tea made wearable.
I don't detect any nuts or flowers, at most dried fruits, but only with a lot of imagination.
The spice flash is instantly there with a tiny spray.
Unfortunately, I only have a tiny sample of it, but I would love to wear it throughout the entire Advent season.
Coeur de Noisette is gingerbread and speculoos, Coca-Cola Christmas commercials, cinnamon stars, twinkling lights, Yogi Tea, stollen, and peace on earth.
And Wham's "Last Christmas," on repeat.

I indulge in spices, nuts, and fine aromas - the scent wraps around me like a light veil of spice, leaving pure bliss behind.

Smells like original Indian chai tea. Not the overly sweet ones from Starbucks or the supermarket. Very spicy and very cinnamon-y, great!

Elisen gingerbread, heavily spiced with cloves. A wonderfully gourmand spice bomb!

It really smells like Chai Tea Latte! At first, it's very much about unsweetened, dry spices. As it develops, more and more milk comes through.

Spiced gingerbread dough, but it starts for me with orange or lemon zest? Then moves on to extreme clove and less sweet hazelnut.

In the first seconds, divine hazelnut. But then unfortunately too peppery-spicy for me. Too ungourmand.

Clove-Hazelnut-Gingerbread: In your face!!! Probably wearable for absolute gourmand fans, but for me too harsh and not very suitable for everyday use.

Barely any fruit and coconut. Smells like a spiced nut cake, especially strong on cloves. Missing the cream. Feels unisex to me. H very long.

It "tastes" like hazelnuts wrapped in cinnamon, then tossed into hot milk. I find the combination more strange than tasty.
