Dulzura Paris Corner 2025

This smells like a lightly sweet spiced sponge cake. However, the black pepper attached to the sponge cake feels a bit off. I think it may be the combination with the buttermilk which is making it come off as almost medicinal. There is a natural airy vanilla note surrounding the entire fragrance which is distracting me from that off note slightly.

Overall, it's a lightly sweet gourmand that doesn't feel heavy or thick. At complete dry down, the cake notes combined with the pepper gave this a drier texture, almost like a plain biscuit cookie and the vanilla softens it a bit. That off note never went away. Its okay and I can see certain individuals liking this, but it's definitely not for me. It was a scrubber.

How can it be that a perfume with these notes smells like childhood?
How can it be that I get candied apple, popcorn, cake, roasted almonds, and cotton candy all from one fragrance?
One of the most complex, wonderful gourmands in my collection. Yes, it is very sweet, but it really does smell like childhood.
I am shockingly in love!

Dulzura is quite a nice gourmand. In parts, it feels a bit uneven to me, so I’m not entirely sold on it. However, it will certainly find many fans, especially those who generally enjoy all kinds of sweet scents.

At the beginning, it has a pleasant sweetness and even feels somewhat subtly fruity.
This really subtly used pepper note is perfectly placed for me. A nice counterpoint to the sweetness.

Over time, the scent becomes noticeably sweeter and heavier to me.
It gains more of those "cake" vibes. I would even almost say that there’s something in it that leans towards popcorn. Somehow a mix of classic popcorn and cake with an intense dough. At the same time, it feels a bit more uneven and no longer as harmonious as it did at the beginning.

Towards the end, it settles down a bit again and the scent feels harmonious once more.
A fine vanilla note spreads out and dances with amber in the final duet.

The longevity on my skin is about six hours.
The sillage is okay/moderate.
Unisex? Definitely!

I now own several gourmands, but Dulzura really surprised me!
It is a gourmand that smells so incredibly edible, you might think you are standing in a pastry shop where a fresh cake is being baked.
The scent started off very sweet for me.
The pastry note and cream are definitely at the forefront. To my surprise, there's also a hint of berries, even though it's not listed.
I can actually smell strawberry here, and it lingers on my skin for a long time.
In my opinion, it resembles those shortcrust pastry treats with cream, strawberries, and that red glaze. Call me crazy, but it's so present that I even doubted myself :)
In the drydown, the pepper and vanilla come in, and all in all, the scent is beautifully rounded off. In the end, it is indeed unisex wearable, as the extreme sweetness fades away.
Overall, the scent is really extremely sweet and cake-like, but not sticky or overpowering.
The bottle is truly beautiful and the design somewhat resembles a French patisserie.
