Undescript fruity note, watery jasmine and synthetic sweetness
Day four of reviewing my travel size Le Monde Gourmand fragrances I got from Winners/Homesense. I've been seeing bottles of this brand on the shelves since forever, but never wanted to blind-buy a full bottle. I stumbled upon two discovery sets in travel size format at a reasonable price and this is what made me get them. I've always been curious to compare their price with their overall performance, so here we go!
I've got to admit I'm starting to lose hope in Le Monde Gourmand as none of the fragrances I've tried up until now have been good to my nose. This one is no different from the others. At the top, screechy fruity note I would've never guessed was apricot. Jasmine is water-like in quality. By that I mean it's not heavy, it's more like transparent. It adds a touch of floral accord, but a light touch: more on the delicate, evanescent side. The drydown does smell like fluffy vanilla (even though it's not listed), but it's also quite heavily synthetic. It has that sour (acrid?) quality to it that turns me off.
The one thing that surprised me the most is how it becomes a skin scent so fast. I oversprayed like 8 times on my boyfriend's chest and after 5 minutes I had to stick my face in so I could even get a small whiff of it. It has one of the weakest performance I've ever seen (smelled?) in a perfume. Will be decluttered.
