Varens Original - French Sweets Ulric de Varens 2008

Yet another gem in the drugstore shelf (and unfortunately also discontinued): the most delicious temptation that has come my way from Monsieur de Varens.

A crazily beautiful gourmand that manages without a heavy base. There is a lot of vanilla, an almost liqueur-like sweetness, and flowers and wood are not distinctly noticeable, but rather contribute to making French Sweets a perfume. Although it truly smells so delicious that one almost wants to eat or drink it. Caramelized fruits set the tone and skillfully blend with the dense, sweet notes. It smells a bit like a candy stand at the fair.

However, it is not a sugary mess, but rather, as is often the case with UdV, smells very refined, very noble, very high-quality. No one is overwhelmed by a vanilla club; rather, French Sweets is a delicate, dense, and at the same time diffuse gourmand that remains warm and sensual, staying close to the skin. And there, it smells delicious enough to nibble on.
