Macarons with Milk ..

The first thing that immediately came to my mind is macarons. The scent smells exactly like the small colorful French macarons to me. Sweet, a bit synthetic with a hint of coconut. I have realized that coconut is an absolute nemesis for me. I love coconut cake, coconut macaroons, etc., but I simply cannot stand the coconut note in perfume. For me, almost every perfume with a coconut note has something artificial, plastic-like about it.. With a lot of imagination, I can smell the rice note that is hidden behind a pile of macarons.

In the drydown, I mainly smell a form of condensed milk. It must be the buttermilk note. The scent is generally very lactonic.. For me, the fragrance has little to do with vanilla. It is a milky gourmand with a lot of synthetics.

I also found it really sharp and prickly because of the bergamot; it burned my nose, and unfortunately, I barely noticed anything else because of the synthetic notes 🤷🏼‍♀️

I feel the same way. And also fig and sandalwood, especially when the latter is too creamy. It always reminds me of coconut. I sometimes have coconut associations with tonka too. There are few coconut scents that I still like. Food? Always! ;)
