Let Them Eat Cake. This phrase is allegedly attributed to Marie Antoinette, where "cake" actually refers to the pastry brioche, in relation to poor peasants who had no bread to eat. Of course, there are no records of whether she actually said it that way.
Hm… Brioche. Ah, I like brioche. Light, fluffy, delicious,… and now I'm getting sidetracked :D
So, back to the scent. A fragrance called "Let Them Eat Cake" sounds to me like a delicious and gourmand fragrance. Let's see how it is.
The Scent:
Coconut milk and vanilla. You can immediately smell these two notes, and it just smells wonderful. It smells exactly like a fluffy, light cake with coconut flakes on top. Does a brioche smell like that too? Hm… I can't remember; to me, it smells more like cake. In any case, I enjoy both… :D
But now back to the scent! A carnival-like scent also rises later on, which must be due to the sugar. Musk is rather minimal.
And basically, that's it, as there isn't much more to smell, and the fragrance doesn't develop further, mainly remaining vanilla with coconut and sugary notes (and later on, it only smells of vanilla).
But it does smell nice nonetheless.
The Sillage and Longevity:
The sillage is above average and will be more noticeable when smelled from close range. Unfortunately, it quickly loses strength, so that later on, it will only be perceived by oneself at most.
The longevity, on the other hand, is very good, allowing you to smell the fragrance from morning to night, meaning more than twelve or fourteen hours, which is great.
The Bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and has a chrome-plated, cylindrical cap. On the front, there is a brown label with the brand and fragrance name. The name also appears again on the cap. In other versions (or is it more the front and back??), you can also see a picture of a cake.
I don't find the bottle particularly beautiful, but it is quite compact.
This fragrance is not bad, but it's also not that special. It has been smelled countless times and thus smells good as usual, only that it doesn't stand out. But that's okay, as it smells quite nice, although compared to similar fragrances, it is a bit too weak in terms of sillage.
Thus, this fragrance belongs to the vanilla scents that one can enjoy more for oneself than to wear outside the house or when going out, but at least you can enjoy it for a long time due to its longer longevity. And when baking cakes, you probably won't even notice the scent if you're wearing it :D
