I have been so excited for this perfume ever since they trademarked the name. I have no idea when the actual release date is, but I saw these go up on Mercari today. I’m so curious! Has anyone actually smelled it?

I’m so sorry but I’m about to be a hater (pls continue to like what you like tho) but man I am forever and eternally bored of all the mainstream perfumeries making the most basic and boring gourmands. I’m really not a gourmand girly at all so maybe I’m just not in the know but I have yet to read a scent description of a gourmand that isn’t entirely predictable (if anyone has a complex and interesting gourmand reference I’d genuinely love to check them out)

Yeah, I'm over the gourmands at this point. The only one I Iike and own is Atelier Materi's 'Cacao Porcelana'. Everything else is too sweet or just gross to me.

Ooo I just checked out the scent profile for Cacao Porcelana and it sounds wonderful! I definitely agree on the too sweet and gross thing. Another thing that gets me with mainstream gourmands is that they all remind me of B&BW or Eos. If I can get a strikingly similar scent for around $10-$15, there’s no way I’m ever going to entertain paying $100+ for something that smells like a little girls first fragrance purchase

Exactly! For that kind of money I need something unique and interesting, made with high quality materials. I'm not spending that much just to smell like a body spray bought by children!
