Almond Eclair The Good Scent.

Deliciously-rich (& realistic!) coconut cream dessert
If you've ever wanted to smell like a Raffaello bonbon, or a coconut cream pie, look no further. This is one of the richest and most realistic coconut cream dessert fragrances I've ever tested!
**Note breakdown:**
----------------------------------
[40%] shredded coconut
- nothing synthetic about this coconut note
- sweet, realistic, slightly toasted
[40%] vanilla cream
- rich, full-fat, ultra-creamy
[20%] almond
- subtle, not salty or very nutty
- feels like the delicate, thinly-sliced liqueur-soaked almonds in an almond cake
[0%] kiwi or dew drop/aquatic notes
There is a bit of a musky "vanilla orchid" feel in the dry-down, but it's subtle and remains a coconut cream-forward fragrance throughout wearing.
**Wearing:**
----------------------------------
[On my clothes]
- I get more of the coconut cream, like a Raffaello bonbon
[On my skin]
- A "baked goods" note is prominent, making it feel more like a coconut cream pie with a buttery crust
[Projection and sillage]
- Yummy scent trail when moving my arm
- Could also smell a cloud of coconut cream off of my shirt without moving
[Longevity]
- After testing it on myself in store and driving home, I could smell it in the car (on the fabric seatbelt) the next day
- On my skin, it lasted 6+ hours
The Good Scent's fragrances can be hit or miss, and very few of them are exceptional in my opinion - but this one is rave-worthy to me, especially for under $20 USD (found in TJX/TK Maxx stores). Highly recommended for gourmand coconut/Raffaello lovers!
