  I stumbled upon a really interesting perfume: it smells like a masculine base with an original twist toward edible notes and smoky touches. The result is unisex, leaning slightly masculine, and very pleasant. At first, I detect popcorn. Then it settles into a warm, sweet fragrance blending cinnamon, apple, dried cherries, and hazelnuts with cedar, vanilla, labdanum, and tonka in the base. I think it’s the cedar and labdanum—bold, classic masculine notes—that make me think of my dad’s classic scent mixed with something gourmand. After about 4 hours, the dry down leaves a spiced vanilla that lingers until the end. It has moderate-to-notable sillage and lasts 6-7 hours on my skin. Personally, I found it purposeful, elegant, and interesting, though a bit modest in longevity for its price. Unfortunately, it’s very expensive. That said, who could resist buying a decant? Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 6.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 3/10, Packaging 4/10. Would I buy again? Yes.

  It caught me off guard: it smells like a masculine composition with an edible twist and smoky touch. It’s unisex, leaning toward masculine, and very pleasant. At first, I detect popcorn, then it settles into a warm, sweet fragrance blending cinnamon, apple, dried cherries, and hazelnuts over a base of cedar, vanilla, labdanum, and tonka. It reminds me of my dad’s classic masculine scent mixed with gourmand, thanks to the cedar and labdanum that set the pace. At 4 hours, the spiced vanilla takes over and lingers until the end. Sillage is moderate-to-notable and lasts 6-7 hours on my skin. It’s purposeful, elegant, and interesting, though a bit modest in longevity for its price. It’s pricey, but who could resist a decant? Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 6.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 3/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 4/10. Would I buy again? Yes.

  It’s getting harder to surprise me with perfumes, and this isn’t the exception. It smells great if you’re just looking for something that simply ‘smells good,’ but artistically and considering the price, it falls short. I expected a gourmand bomb with an apple tart and cinnamon base that would bring something new, but it doesn’t. The best part is the opening, where the apple tart and popcorn add an original touch, but it doesn’t last. Then comes the heart, basically tonka bean with woods and nuts. With so many niche and designer scents based on this note, I don’t see the point of spending so much on something repetitive. It’s only worth it if you’re looking for something like this and don’t already own a similar scent. The longevity is medium-low, about 5-6 hours on skin, with moderate projection that fades to skin-level after an hour.

  Lately, the more perfumes I try, the less surprised I am, and that’s exactly where this one fails. It smells great if you’re just looking for something that simply ‘smells good’—no doubt about it. But from an artistic standpoint and considering the price, I feel it falls short. I was hoping for a gourmand bomb with an apple pie and cinnamon base that would bring something new, but nope, for me, that’s all it is. It’s a shame. The best part is the opening, where the apple pie mixes with popcorn—a very original touch. But it doesn’t last; after a few minutes, the heart kicks in, which is basically tonka bean. It has some nutty notes, balsamic touches, and woods, but for my nose, what dominates is the tonka. With so many niche scents based on it (Tonka Fever, Velvet Tonka…) and commercial ones like Armani Code Profumo, I don’t see the point of spending so much on something I’ve heard a thousand times and already own. If you’re looking for this and don’t have anything similar, it could be a pretty option because it smells great and has high quality. The longevity is moderate, around 5-6 hours on skin, with moderate projection that lasts an hour before settling to skin scent.

  A gorgeous gourmand where caramel and tonka bean dominate, with a milky touch even though there’s no milk. Cinnamon and apricot are noticeable, but the popcorn, nuts, and apple pie vanish in seconds. On my skin, it turns into a warm, tasty apricot custard. It’s more feminine, autumnal, and daytime, but the performance is mediocre. Is it worth the price? No. The market has better options like Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 71, THO’s What About Pop, or Calaj’s Delizia Oscura Gold.

  A lovely gourmand. On my skin, caramel and tonka bean dominate. It feels a bit milky, even though there’s no milk in the notes. The cinnamon is very present, as is the apricot. I missed the popcorn, nuts, and the hint of apple, which vanish within five seconds. On my skin, it settles like a warm, light, and tasty apricot custard. It’s more feminine than masculine, autumnal, daytime, with mediocre longevity. Is it worth it? No. The market is saturated with gourmands of medium, high, and outstanding quality… and my recommendations would be: Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 71, What About Pop THO, and Calaj Delizia Oscura Gold.

  On skin, it opens like almond cookie or Jijona nougat with a salty twist, yielding to sweet vanilla citrus notes. While I can still smell apple an hour later, the popcorn and cake aspects become vague. It’s a perfect gourmand for cold weather and lasts eight hours, but I’d test it first on skin because the notes settle all at once rather than unfolding in stages. In the end, it leaves a toasted, vanilla trail reminiscent of Parfums de Marly. It’s unisex, though it varies by gender, but the price doesn’t justify the content; there are better unisex popcorn options like ELO’s La fin du monde or THO’s What About Pop, and better apple notes in Theodoros Kalotinis’ Apple Pie. If you’re not a collector, test before buying blind.
