Gourmand fragrances live or die on balance. Praline and vanilla are prominent here, and the composition handles them well. Orange blossom provides a counterweight.Modern Classic
This is the scent you wear when you want to smell approachable yet put-tog ether. It's sweet without being immature, floral without being stuffy, and the patchouli in the drydown gives it just enough.La Vie Est Belle
