Not one of my favourite fragrances of all time, but by far my favourite of the Coexistence Collection. It’s sweet, spicy, and warm with hints of florals and patchouli. The strongest note to me is clove, though I get distinct cinnamon, tonka bean, tobacco, and vanilla as well. I personally don’t smell any rose and I’m glad for it. Definitely leans pretty gourmand compared to the other fragrances in the collection. It’s also the faintest out of the 3, but it still has a nice scent bubble. It also lasts about all day, even sometimes lasting after a shower.

Mainly mango, nectarine, and light coconut with very faint lotus and waterlily. It reminds me a lot of Born in Paradise which I used to own many years ago which was just a bit more tart. Such a nice summer fragrance! My only complaint is that it fades incredibly fast. It only projects for about 10 minutes and then it remains as a skin scent for about 2 hours.

Upon the initial dry down, I was a bit disappointed. The toffee has a strange mustiness on my skin that throws me off, but that wears off after a few hours and becomes a delicious milky and slightly nutty gourmand. Has moderate sillage and lasts all day. I actually prefer the dupe Italian Caramel which is pretty similar just with stronger spices because the toffee doesn’t come off as musty to my nose. I also saw that this was compared to some other fragrances that I disagree with.
-Jany: has distinct apple
-Bianco Latte: a deep, coumarin-heavy vanilla
-Cheirosa '71: more buttery and not musty
-04 Musc Maori: smells like a sour floral to me

The citrus and florals on the dry down are a bit too screechy for me. The vanilla starts coming through more within an hour but I still wish it was just a little sweeter. I personally don’t find it creamy at all. Has minimal sillage and lasts all day. I saw that it was compared to Cheirosa '40 Perfume Mist, Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum, and The Wedding Silk Santal | 36 but I disagree. Cheirosa ’40 and Vanilla Woods are fruity and creamy but not citrusy. The Wedding Silk Santal is fruitier with a distinct champagne note.

I unfortunately cannot stand this perfume. It comes off way too masculine for me. I get absolutely no sweetness. It really just smells like extremely salty sandalwood on my skin. If you told me this was tear-scented, I would have believed you. Lasts all day though, so if you like this scent I’m very happy for you even though I suffered while testing it out. I saw that this was compared to some perfumes that I highly disagree with. Cheirosa '71 and Molten Caramel are nutty cookie scents. Escapade Gourmande is a super sweet vanilla scent. Chocolate Greedy is a deep chocolate scent with a hint of breadyness.
