Having heard raving reviews for years, I finally gave crumb couture a test. What I was expecting was a slightly yeasty gourmand most like the waft of bread you might have while in another room. What I experienced was instead a synthetic, cloying, and artificial loaf of bread. The opening is highly synthetic with a strong alcohol kick. The yeast is overwhelming much like sourdough dough after sitting on a counter in the summer. The berry is unrecognizable. The dry down is pure cloying yeast mixed with a bit of old potpourri all followed by a highly chemical base note. Not photorealistic to me. Safe to say this was not for me. 2/10
