El Born a must have for gourmand lovers.

This smells rum raisin ice-cream or Rum Cake.
Either way, this is deliciousness incumbent, a must have in any gourmand collectors possession.

I received two unsolicited compliments today on way to work, one at work... and a few head turns on the train also.
Again this is a simply ravishing fragrance, that anyone one with a sweet tooth will need to have.

There's no rum note in this frag, but you will get a hint of it.
The Benzoin, Vanilla, Honey & Peru Balsam shine throughout this fragrance. Truly truly unique!
Can't speak badly about this jewel.

I used six sprays...both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest, and front of my shirt.

Will I buy this again?...Yes(This time a full bottle).

Does this fragrance enter BEAST MODE, good, just okay or weak sauce at best? Sexy Beast Mode.

What's the strength of this? EDP.

Am I willing to trade this fragrance? No.

Should You Skipped It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It?
Blind Buy Worthy, hands down!(If you're a gourmand lover).
For everyone else, try it via Scentbird or eBay.
But get a promo code, so it isn't full price.

Can you use it as a unisex scent? Yes.

Is it the old, new formulation? New.

What's its availability; in production, limited edition or discontinued? In production.

The nearest Baskin Robbins please?

I get a boozy vanilla with dried fruit from El Born. Beyond that, i can't pick out the individual notes listed as above. Perhaps they mesh well to form this linear scent, which would appeal to gourmand vanilla lovers. I initially dismissed this as too sweet and not boozy enough but a few more wearings where I was constantly reminded of Baskin Robbins' Rum&Raisin ice cream, was enough for me to admit that I want this gourmand scent. Not as boozy but certainly more friendly than Mona di Orio's Vanille, an austere, dry and spicy vanilla. The sillage for El Born is good and longevity on clothes moderate for me, ranging about 6-8 hours.

Perhaps a nice mild to warm weather vanilla

I wore this for the first time yesterday and I must say I enjoyed it quite a bit. It’s very vanilla forward to my nose, though not an in your face vanilla. More of a “reminds me of a bakery” sort of vanilla. The most prevalent sensation I got was pastry. I’m guessing between the honey, heliotrope and vanilla that makes sense. It reminds me quite a bit of Cafe Cabanel and Les Indes Galantes, both having Cécile Zarokian as the creative nose behind them. Given that I’m a sucker for anything Cécile has created, this one resembling those to my scent memory, I was easily won over by this. I would say, however, that while I was initially and have continued to be reminded of those by this (I had to spray it on tester strips several times today lol), this one does strike me as lighter, where I think of those aforementioned as more mild to cold weather. This is a win in my book and I’m happy to have it on the shelf!

A new dimension to gourmand scents!!

A new dimension to gourmand scents, smells like a rum/vanilla cake, kinda boozy vanilla not cloying at all, it smells so good, and it performs very well too.

It smells like a warm luscious dessert, creamy and kinda spicy. very complex yet easy to wear.

Good work from Carner Barcelona, I bought this one as a blind buy and it didn't disappoint me at all.

truly unique!

Honey-vanilla marshmallow with spice and tobacco, but almost zero projection

This smells like a honey-vanilla marshmallow with a bit of spice and tobacco on opening. If that sounds appealing to you, you’ll like it. Surprisingly, it’s not too sweet, nor is it a basic, plain Jane vanilla. I like this one a lot; it’s got depth and complexity. It wears very close to the skin almost immediately and stays that way. I’m okay with my perfume not announcing itself to the room, but even so, I wish it had a tiny bit more projection.
