i say summer
When I see vanilla and caramel in the pyramid, my Duftradar sounds the alarm. Longingly awaited I sat there then, on the window ledge, at the first 20 degrees of the year - yes - that's probably the right moment now...

Sprayed - sniffed - surprised
I imagined the start more elegant and sparkling. What greeted me here was actually a very familiar to me, unpleasant scent - my self-tanner. The I then wear when I no longer have to go out among people, because this synthetic-annoying coconut scent rises to me totally disagreeable in the nose.Similarly beguiling sweet and synthetic makes the perfume in the first moment unfortunately somewhat unpopular.
Here you put down the all-familiar and more or less appropriate "I-want-to-smell-sweet-and-want-to-know-all-that-appearance", while you down your now lukewarm Coke in your 3-star hotel in Monte Carlo. It wasn't enough for more this time. But you wear 402 with care. You know the scent and wanted to link it to the memory of this holiday.
The apple comes then, fortunately, quite quickly and levels the whole thing a little. Remains a fruity creamy something with guessable nut. With this fruity freshness you dare a walk through the stinging heat, past the tourists smeared with suntan lotion and into the true heart of the city. As the scent softens and mellows on your skin, you feel more feminine, more glamorous, almost as if you belong here. You are approached by a charming young man who kindly asks you what wonderful fragrance you are wearing. As delicate as the scent, so delicate is your voice as he engages you in conversation afterwards. You feel attracted to each other and he invites you to visit him on his yacht in the evening. On the way back, the piercing heat says goodbye and leaves more and more room for the hint of vanilla sugar on your skin. You knew, of course, what effect 402 could ignite, if only you gave it enough time.
In the evening, you get ready for dinner on the yacht and can hardly believe the unexpected course this day took- much like the perfume you're only too happy to liberally reapply, which you have to, for him to actually notice. You want him to think of you should he sniff this fruity-creamy-caramel bomb again.

Most beautiful all-day-gourmand ever!
This fragrance gets my first review at Parfumo, because it has more than earned it! Who loves gourmand fragrances, comes to this fragrance not past. Gourmanddüfte, which you can also wear during the day and in the office, you find rather rare.
The fragrance is like a sweet dessert, a vanilla ice cream with caramelized apple compote. But not too sweet, just pleasantly sweet!
I can't get enough of this fragrance and could just wear it every day.
And the Bom Parfumeur fragrances are also still super affordable in price.
A great love in my small perfume collection, which I no longer give away!

Vanilla with shot
On the 402 I came through Leni and he was, like my other Bon Parfumeurs also a blind purchase. But one that is worthwhile.
With the first spray sets itself relatively much alcohol free, is it evaporated, the fragrance begins to work. Apple I hardly perceive in the head - if then only as a fresh prelude, but the almond blossom starts very gently. Relatively quickly, a warm, dry and very full vanilla comes to the fore. The heliotrope enhances the spiciness and the vanilla in the heart is nicely versatile without seeming synthetic, overloaded. Sandalwood and caramel in the base combine with the vanilla to create a sweet woody composition. The musk only emerges slightly later - I barely notice the powdered sugar, if at all.

I like this fragrance a lot. It has something of a niche scent, but one that pleases. Still, it's not a sugary vanilla water, but much more woodsy. For the price, it's a great scent that you can layer well. It wears well and I like it a lot. The durability is rather mediocre and the silage also - so if you do not want to smell too dominant, fits the.

Hmmm... delicious :)
This was my first blind purchase and I have absolutely no regrets.
A very sweet fragrance that becomes soft and creamy after a while.
I like to wear it in everyday life or in bed because it is soooo cozy and pleasant.
Lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin.
If you like vanilla scents, you should definitely try this perfume.
Perfect for gourmand lovers!

Mainstream niche
Powdered sugar, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood...you might think something sticky and edible has come flying out of the bottle. Spoiler alert: this is not an edible gourmand fragrance. No caramel candy or vanilla ice cream - je suis desolée.

I have to admit, when I bought the perfume, that's exactly what I wanted. A delicious gourmand perfume so that I not only feed myself but also smell like a snack. Me in the home office, inhaling cake again? Nonsense, it's just my perfume. For sure.

When I first sprayed it, the scent was delicate, sweet and indefinable - but not in a good way. Like the body mist Cheirosa 62 by Sol de Janeiro. I had high expectations and was disappointed accordingly. The bottle was banished to the back row of the shelf aka my shelf of shame ("expensive bad buys").

After 3 weeks I sprayed it on again, somehow I didn't want to admit that I had once again thrown out €80 for a full-size perfume.
In the meantime, the fragrance has been absorbed and the vanilla, sandalwood and a delicate caramel can be clearly smelled. It's a sweet, creamy fragrance - but absolutely not too sweet or edible sweet. It smells grown-up, warm, sensual and feminine. The vanilla is not artificial and the sandalwood is not woody-masculine, so I see it on women rather than men. This makes the fragrance suitable for everyday wear and any situation: office, university, date night. In my opinion, it can hold its own against niche fragrances without smelling too designer-mainstream (sorry) or being too complicated for those breathing it in.
Signature scent candidate.

A very sweet and childlike fragrance.
Vanilla cupcake with toffee drizzle.
Inexpensive sugar rush at one ounce.

This is very sweet, such a huge sugar hit. I wouldn't want to smell like this, but happy that i have a small tabby sample.

This is what I wanted from Prada Candy - harmonious praline, with benzoin as balancer. My favorite of the dozen I've tried from this brand.
