That’s exactly why I don’t like most mainstream gourmands. The creamy vanilla base doesn’t always appeal to me. And honestly it’s also a little bit boring. 🙊 I will say that gourmands have come a long way though, especially in the artisan perfume space.

I was quite fond of the fragrance on paper, but I haven’t tried it on skin! ☕️

😀 Francesca’s fragrances are playfully provocative! This is a rose-patchouli that includes her orris-rich signature, leather, and synthetic animalics. 😍

The same thing happened with my mom. She’s also a Scorpio and I was excited to have her try this. She didn’t connect with it though! 🫢😉

It’s beautiful but I have similar feelings about it. I can’t really wear mine anymore.
