Neither burnt, nor sugary.
The brand Comme des Garçons is now already since their first fragrance to my absolute favorite brands. So far, there were and are only a few fragrances of the brand that convinced me less, or I did not like at all.
A few fragrances, unfortunately passed me by, so also the series 7, which had gourmandnoten as a theme.

Two fragrances of the series, namely Sticky Cake and Nomad Tea had published the brand a few years ago again in the Library Series. The former is in my collection, the second was then not quite my case and was therefore not acquired. The remaining three fragrances thus remained a test request.

The coincidence wanted it now that CharlAmbre has offered me to bequeath me a sample of Burnt Sugar. This now arrived yesterday and had to be tested today immediately extensively.

As so often with discontinued fragrances, the fragrance must of course please me really well. But I'm a realist and can live well with the fact that I can not buy him. After all, I could get to know him.

But now to the fragrance.

I must admit, the name has awakened in me the fear that the fragrance could be a sweet coconut number. The GsD is not so, quite the opposite.

The specified notes are already somehow present, but instead of a sticky sweet dessert smell unfolds here a really good and sophisticated composed fragrance with pleasant, integrated gourmand notes.

Anise and cinnamon as an opening get there, but the floral, rather unsweet notes take away something edible. So you do not have to be afraid of neroli.

Quite slowly, the fragrance then becomes sweeter and somehow abstractly cookie-cutter. The spices still discreetly contribute their aroma, however, it is again the floral component in the form of jasmine, which for me significantly mitigates the too food impression.

In the base, the fragrance then becomes vanilla-creamy, but thanks to the moderate sweetness, the fragrance is not saturating or even annoying for me.

The shelf life is good with a good 12 hours. The sillage I feel moderate, but can imagine that it is more pronounced with a higher dosage and on fabric.

If you can't do anything with gourmand notes, you should keep your hands off Burnt Sugar. Harcore Gourmandfans could be the fragrance again too "perfumy".
It goes without saying that no natural product should be expected here. The brand has always made no secret of it with synthetic notes to work and does this, for my sensation with the best.

For my taste, the weighting between gourmand and perfume is right here and if there would still be the fragrance, he would have long been in my collection to find. Who knows, maybe he will be published again in the library series. As is well known, hope dies last.

Dear CharlAmbre, thank you for the opportunity to test this Präziose to be allowed. You have made me with it a great pleasure.
