This was a blind buy for me as I am rather a gourmand lover and the reviews swung it. Also, I could find literally no way to test it out.
Very nice actually, I am not so sure on the “Apple Pie fresh from the oven” thing though.
To me this is more Cherry Tobacco with a touch of rum and caramel. Also there is an underlying barley note there too.
I have never put my nose to Ambre Narguile so cannot make the comparison.
However, Dolcelisir puts me in mind of a combination between Parfums de Marly Herod, Burberry London and Tom Ford Vanille Fatale, which is no bad thing.
kyarosh1881 – :
This is very nice. I would call it a gourmand oriental. Caramel, orange, cinnamon and resins. It reminds me of some sort of boozy dessert maybe Italian rum cake. Great for autumn.
ReM74 – :
Does anyone know if this resembles the Faberge Tigress from the 1970’s?
nlo554speagoessenda – :
A Delicious Honey Tobacco scent there’s a warmth that perhaps its cognac or Rum imparts…
I bought it because
Hermes Amber Narguille is far too expensive….I was lucky to get Hermes as a gift
Dolcelisir does indeed smell like Hermes Amber Narguille…
It also smells like
Farah by Brecourt
Dolce has a powdery dryness that Farah doesn’t
I’m very happy to own all three now.
abesseAnterry – :
Wow this perfume was a surprise! On my extremely dry skin it smells at first like vanilla but within ten minutes changes to a sexy amber powdery scent with a hint of something deeper. It actually is a strong scent on me which never happens with vanilla sweet scents. This is very elegant and sexy scent! I love it!
magtat1 – :
this is sweet fruity, balsamic, and warm sugary scent.
opening is like punch of syrupy cherry with a hint of airy alcoholish (?)
opening and mid only last 2-3hrs on my skin then becomes powdery vanilla scent for about 6-7hrs.
projection is pretty good within 2hrs. i constantly catch a whiff of it.
i have mixed feelings about this fragrance, sometimes i feels girly because of syrupy sweetness, sometimes i feels like an old man because of balsamic nature.
i dont know wether i like it or not, because it leans to girlish grandpa lol.
still, smells average IMO. but i think i need to test it for more several times.
Scent: 6.5
Longetivity: 9 (9-10hrs)
projevtion: 7.5 (2hrs)
sillage: 7.5 (soft to moderate)
hamilion005 – :
The opening is just yummy because of premium gold rum that obtains its flavor through the addition of mild cinnamon and dark caramel. This juice is so gourmand and delicious that you wanna drink it. But after a while gourmand notes get a little bit weaker, floral and citrus notes appear and make the whole composition less drinkable, but more imaginative. This perfume has got its unique charm, that lies in a harmony of gourmand, floral and spicy notes.
OgwaqqUL – :
Now look it is very similar ro bogart pour homme wich i own and like very much.
But!!!
This is more cherry and butifull
Sweat fresh and natural tobacco
Althou they are very similar this is more
Unisex then bogart and i have to say
The quality is just super super good.
I gift it to my wife couse she love
Vanilla but this was a good suprise couse she like it very much but there is not much
Of a vanilla with all the spices around.
its the best natural verginia tabacco smell i ever came across.
Performence very good 10 hours..
Enjoy
Melrq206intitytek – :
The first sweet / sugary frag i do like.
Really nice balance, this does not come with the tacky candy feeling i hate.
Beautiful bargain fragrance.
The saver is like a Serge Lutens, simple and beautiful.
aiboolat – :
Very similar to Oajan by Perfume de Marly but 1/5 of the price! Excellent quality and longevity. Worth a try!
Олег55 – :
As many others before me have stated; what we have here is a very affordable dupe for Hermes Ambre Narguile. It isn’t 100% similar, but it’s certainly close enough! I’m even tempted to say that Dolcelisir might actually smell a bit better than AN… It’s delicious. Plain and simple.
Decent longevity. The projection is quite massive at first, but it tones down into soft-moderate territory after an hour or so.
sizo555 – :
I got really intrigued by this perfume lately and to this especially contributed reading the reviews here. There are plenty L’erbolario shops where I live but I never enterred them to test the perfumes which is a big mistake because these perfumes are really good quality and smell much expensive than they are (22,90€ for 50ml and 31,90€ for 100ml).
I finally tested it and what a beautiful surprise. This is a typical autumn scent for me, it just embodies and evokes this season: it’s a brown fragrance with lots of cinnamon, rum, caramel, vanilla but it’s not a sweet perfume. It’s rich and juicy and very seductive. The more I smelt it the more it reminded me of another very similar, almost identical perfume – Manila Grace Narcotic Fleur. I loved NF at first sniff but the price is high for me, but now that I found Dolcelisir I can buy many bottles of it and not feel guilty for the price.
Dolcelisir is warm and conforting with an edge of boldness and independence. It can be worn daytime and nightime and is suitable for most occasions. Longevity and sillage on clothes is impressive, much better than applying directly on skin. The drydown is dreamy. A few sprays and you are ready to face the world boldly.

This smells like Tobacco Vanille if Tobacco Vanille was made by Bath and Body Works
alchoholizmiki – :
Good lord is this yummy.
For secret santa at work this year I got cinnamon blackberry tea from C.O Bigelow. It’s supposed to help control blood sugar. (I don’t have diabetes, but I think it may have been a stab at my dessert eating habits heh).
Anyway that tea is all cinnnamon and no black berry. It’s one of my favorite teas ever it tastes SO good, the perfect cinnamon and it’s so magically sweet despite being unsweetened!
When I smell this I think of my favorite cinnamon tea, honey, and dried fruit.
As others have pointed out it seems like this perfume was created to imitate other popular warm snuggly fragrances, but create a cheaper more feminine “safe” version. This reminds me just a tad of volutes by diptyque. In fact if someone hand made this and said it was a honey cinnamon scent with 1 part volutes to 10 parts hand made fragrance I’d probably find it convincing.
I think you ought to try this if you think a sweet cup of cinnamon tea and honey with just a HINT of something deeper and more complicated would be lovely. I find it entirely enjoyable.
pycijaselu – :
Glad I sampled this first. I’ll put the money I saved buying a bottle of this into a bottle of Hermes.
It’s maybe 50% similar to Hermes. The drydown is a very generic vanilla type situation. Same as In a thousand other cheap-ish perfumes. It barely projects.
Needs more cinnamon. Needs more ….. everything.
The parfum de marly is a better alternative. But at the price, just buy the Hermes.
Disappointed.
ELZIRA – :
Agreed with reviewer rougetnoir, that there are similarities with Keiko Mecheri’s Loukhoum.
Dolcelisir gives me Vanilla extract, lots of Tonka, and Sweet Almond extract. There’s definitely a boozy opening, that doesn’t specifically point to Rum. I get more of the 35% alcohol that comes in a Vanilla extract from a spice rack.
Despite being a non-gourmie, I would love this as an ambient scent, in candle form. L`Erbolario does sell this as a candle as well.
Effickeneft – :
I never had the pleasant to try hermes ambre narguile but when I was reading it’s reviews I discovered dolcelisir and it was on my radar for a while.it has almost all the notes I die for so it could be my best perfume ever so I had to order it from other countries and it costed me almost 80$ but I couldn’t let it go
First time I tried it I wanted to cry with dissapointment.I expected dolcelisir to be super delicious.but all I could smell was rum,cinnamon,amber and lots of tobacco!it reminded me pure Havana which I like but on a man
I decided to give it another chance today and glad I did so.it’s still nothing like my imaginations.it’s sweet but not as sweet as I wished and unfortunately there’s no caramel and sugar to my nose and vanilla,cocoa and benzoin aren’t as dominant as I want.I still can smell something like tobacco.it may be the combination of cinnamon and cacao.all in all it’s a combination of something like tobacco,cinnamon and rum in a warm,sweet ambery base.it smells niche-like.very balanced,well put together and charming.it’s definitely unisex and I believe you don’t need to be a gourmand lover to love it.it’s a complex fragrance and seems to have lots of layers.I can sometimes pink up small hint of orange,immortelle and other powdery musky florals but they come and go
I know that I have to give it time.most sweet,complex scents need time to grow on my skin and usually such fragrances turn to passionate loves for me after passing a small period of dissapointment and a week or month period of giving time
If there was more caramel,more balmy sweet notes like vanilla and benzoin and more cacao I’d love this.for now I can say I like it very much and I’m very satisfied with my blindbuy although I find it a little too masculine for my taste.it worthes as a high-quality niche for me.I also love it’s simple bottle
Longevity is very good,+8 hours and sillage is moderate
If you’re into spicy boozy balsamic scents give it a try
chis85 – :
This is my second review, but I deleted the first one because it was unnecessary, since I’ve completely changed my mind.
I said it was too boozy and intense, but that’s not the case. This perfume is the most delicious one I’ve ever smelled! The rum note is sophisticated, that is you don’t smell like you are drunk, and it’s still a sweet note. I’m not a fan of rum but I really like it in this perfume.
As I wrote previously, I don’t smell much caramel but I think it’s because my nose feels the caramel and the sugar note as they were altogether, which is still cool.
I smell also cinnamon, benzoin, amber and cocoa. I might have smelled some citrus and rose but I’m not sure; I didn’t get the other flowers, but I’m generally bad at this anyway.
Moderate sillage, moderate lasting power. It wasn’t as intense as I thought, so there was no cloud of alcohol surrounding me.
UPDATE: I got to know this fragrance better, and I can now perceive the caramel note. It’s actually more prominent than what I thought, I don’t know why I couldn’t smell it before. I’m so in love with this fragrance, now I like it even more.
raul1922 – :
lo risento oggi, con più attenzione, dopo averlo spruzzato a lungo e dopo averlo gardito senza pensarci troppo. perchè è un profumo non impegnativo e, nonostante sia piuttosto dolce, rimane leggero. l’inizio è intossicante: mi sembrava mandorla amara, poi, annusando meglio, credo sia la sensazione di rum che a me pare piuttosto di amaretto. questa fase, lievemente disturbante ma in senso buono, lascia il passo a sensazioni di cannella, qualche chiodo di garofano e, infine una bella ambra all’arancia. l’accordo è molto godibile, peccato che su di me duri davvero poco. dato il prezzo, però, ci si può spruzzare abbondantemente.
Jenchak_dima – :
Bellissimo e buonissimo!
Davvero ottimo, lo vedo ben accostato al periodo invernale, con la neve che scende, davanti al camino con una tazza di cioccolata calda.
Parte con un Rum spiccato, che a poco a poco piacevolmente lascia posto al caramello e alla vaniglia, e solo dopo subentra il cacao e la cannella.
<3
dmajuza – :
Lovely quality and fragrance, very unisex. I get like an apple pie with cinnamon and rum over an amber base, and yes, it’s it is as delicious as it sounds!
Best part beside the price it’s they also do soap and body cream. I’m quite liking this brand.
favorites14 – :
Picked up a bottle of this at a l’erbolario sale. It is a touted as a woman’s scent, but it is certainly not girlie. Very sweet at first, lots of vanilla and rum. Not powdery at all which drew me to it. I can wear this in winter (as others have noted) to work under a suit. It is a warm and welcoming scent. It seems to last, hours later I am still getting gentle hints. I went quite light with it and seem to have hit a good balance.
magwai69 – :
I love this scent, I understand that most folks place this as a winter fragrance. Well I just can’t wait and I had to put it on today, fresh out the shower. I used the 7ounce Dolcelisir L`Erbolario bar of soap also. Simply divine, I am a 30y/o guy and I find this very very wearable. I tend to lean towards unisex fragrances. I own 60-70 colognes and when I sit back and look at my collection, about half are unisex. This Dolcelisir L`Erbolario is like a sweet apple pie, I do not get the chocolate that everybody else keeps mentioning. Slightly caramely, slightly apple pie, sugar cookie. this is one of my favorite gourmands I own. But A*Men is still my favorite, hands down. I haven’t gotten my nose on Pure Havane yet.
prequespedo – :
If you adore Ambre Narguile but just can’t afford it (who can?) this might just be the solution. I bought a decant on the search for a great new fall fragrance. Spritz… And there was my beloved Ambre Narguile! On me, they aren’t exact. But it’s close enough that given the enormous cost difference I’ll no longer be scraping together little tiny decants of the Hermes fragrance. I’ll just buy a big, big bottle of this instead.
Warm, spicy, yummy. It’s a big apple pie hug with a glass of very good whiskey in front of a fire. It’s cozy and safe. And one tiny spritz is going strong six hours later so I’ve got not worries about the staying power of a full application.
trein_07 – :
This one is a very good replacement for the Ambre L’Occitane perfume. I adore it but they don’t produce it anymore. It is little bit sweeter and weaker but good option for me and Amber lovers!
Geison – :
Delectable rummy goodness. Heavy on the cinnamon and benzoin in the drydown, I find. Certainly not as sweet as I feared, the booziness prevents it from entering sickly sweet teenage-land. Overall impression: hot chocolate drink with a caramel drizzle, cinnamon sprinkle and a splash of rum.
loobakker – :
I don’t think this smells cheap – you just need to use it in moderation; I used one spray just above the navel, for example. I can never understand why people want a weaker scent – just dilute it if you must. Otherwise, you are asking for a cheaper product in order to smell more expensive! Clearly, that makes no sense. This one does smell quite a bit like Pure Havane in the base, perhaps a touch less “masculine.” However, it smells more “niche” to me as well. In any case, if you don’t like sweet scents this is probably not for you, but if you are “on the fence,” remember that it’s very strong, especially at first, so you might want to spray it into an empty vial and then use tiny dabs to see how much is enough for you.
UPDATE: I like the far drydown on this even more than the first couple of hours! One of the best gourmand blends I’ve encountered.
Vasisualiy2 – :
Everlasting and with a big sillage. I ended using it as a room spray, the sugar is overwhelming and makes it smell really cheap, synthetic and nauseating. Maybe it could suit a female teenager…
groove_w2 – :
I am surprised that barely anyone spotted the similarity with Guerlain Gourmand Coquin. They both share that boozy and spicy hot chocolate smell: that kind of fragrance that makes you feel like snuggling in a sofa with a mug of hot liquid.
Now that I own both I would say that Gourmand Coquin is a bit spicier, even peppery, and more refined, especially in the drydown whereas Dolcelisir is sweeter and more rounded.
Both have very good longevity.
Anyway if you are eager to try Gourmand Coquin, I highly recommend Dolcelisir for a start as it is so much cheaper.
Very nice discovery!
sergio# – :
I got a decant of this scent specifically to compare with the much pricier Ambre Narguile. While they strongly resemble each other, Dolcelisir has a more prominent cinnamon note and is not as refined and sophisticated as AN, more gourmand. It takes the apple pie accord in AN to the next level. Sillage is moderate and longevity is good. While not a perfect dupe of AN, it is a beautiful scent in its own right and worth sampling!
АлинаРыжило – :
For 27 euros ($30), you have a quiet pleasent scent.
You have a rhum, caramel, vanilla and tonka bean domination, so you can classify it as a sweet scent.
This is a cold weather frag. Modest presentation especially the cap (what do you hope for such price?), but the juice is really well blended.
For the overseas members, I would say that it’s not a bad deal if it’s not more than $50.
yulya1111 – :
This is amazing fragrance. For me it’s a masterpiece. In my top 5. Sweet and intoxicating. He last more 10 hours on my skin and he projects very well. Very good quality/price
Goni666 – :
This is not a safe blind buy (especially in U.S. where shipping is expensive on Amazon). Though it does bear some resemblance to Ambre Nargile, it definitely seems more simplistic, sugary, and synthetic. It also vanished quickly from my skin. Save yourself some money- for the same amount you can get a small travel size of Ambre Nargile on eBay. You’ll be much happier with the real thing.
roman0991 – :
One more we know, more insight, more a passion […]. House perfumes and Italian pharmacy 100% natural products L’Erbolario, I present you the warmth of the sweetest Dolcelisir. East Fragrance vanillic providing engagement and also warmth when sprayed on the skin, whether or not mild temperatures. Yes, I could try it in warm days of my state (Pará – Brazil), and obtained positive results as well as satisfactory. As I read in several places, I do not consider it “an exclusivity for the cold” as it was thought to be until finally test it in calorzão and have me otherwise certificate. You can even combine with warmer temperatures, but do not discount the possibility of being used on sunny days too, sparingly and cautiously, falls very well. First, to my nostrils, Dolcelisir opens with dry notes of rum and fresh caramel, it’s like having a glass with rum and caramel submerged by the drink and it was melt in your background, a different merger than we are accustomed, but that it works and appeals to the sense of smell. Soon, the fragrance changes to its middle notes bringing Canela, some thriving flowers and cocoa, however, is still noticeable super sweet caramel presence and dryness of Rum that associated with the middle notes refers to a light reminder to “dry down “of Tonka Imperiale by Guerlain, a well-even approximate perception. Not only at the beginning, but also in the middle, but equally in the end, Dolcelisir of L’Erbolario brings the notes of rum and caramel merging in his farewell stage to a heated Tonka, a resinous Benzoin, the sweet of one vanilla in a double boiler, printing fragrance comfort, well-being, tranquility and wrapping from start to finish. As might be expected, the fragrances with strictly natural concepts not boast a long-lived silage, but remains long enough for an acceptable perfuming, this in me, set for 5 h with a projection of 3 h, since this is a palliative that minimize the quality as well as the recognition of home products, is a Parfum Aqcua worthy of attention.
Word of the Day: contentment… (day 10)
artem-ars – :
It opens boozy with sweet caramel, and a whiff of something medicinal perhaps from the type of Amber used. It’s very sweet and rich for a moment, then fades to a pleasant but less sweet and Intense vanilla. The deep dry down has a sort of sweetened rice pudding feel to it. Very cozy and warm.
mx666 – :
This was a blind buy for my Autumn craving scents, aaaand
It is a clean aftershave soft musk with hint of vanilla and mostly cinnamon. More of a male scent, but it can be unisex. I was hoping for more booze and caramel in it, but I do not smell any. Before I even took it out of the box I thought it smelled like a clean aftershave and very European. This is a great choice for Fall and Winter months and the season upon us. It wears quite nice and pleasant.
I have it available for a swap. Message me if interested.
hugoscream – :
It’s incredible how good this fragrance smell for only 27 euros/100ml!
A delicious boozy gourmand blend, perfectly unisex, easy to wear and very addictive. It reminds me a bit of Pure Havane, but I dare to say Dolcelisir is even better.
If you live in Italy, you love gourmand fragrances, and you never tried this, then RUN to the nearest L’Erbolario store! You can thank me later. =)
Fantastic performances on my skin, lots of compliments, and is so affordable, almost too good to be true. But it is!
anzhelika – :
I’ve been eyeing Dolcelisir on Fragrantica for a while, because judging from the list of notes and the reviews, it looks like it might just be the ultimate fragrance for fall, and it seems it’s cheap as well. It sounds a little too good to be true, but now that I have acquired a small decant, I’m happy to say it’s everything I expected!
It’s such a cosy scent – wonderfully warm and deliciously boozy and spicy, without smelling too edible and therefore too conspicuous to be wearable. In the bottle it does smell exactly like apple pie, or maybe apple juice or cider, so like other reviewers I was surprised to see that apple isn’t even listed in the note pyramid. But on my skin it goes into an entirely different direction: there’s still a suggestion of apple in the general boozy juiciness of the fragrance, but the warm spicy notes are definitely the ones that stand out – so much so in fact, that I understand why some people find this unisex fragrance more masculine than feminine. It’s definitely not too much for my own taste, though, and spices aren’t usually my favourite notes.
So this is really just as perfect for a cold, misty day in autumn as I was hoping for – in fact, it has everything to become a particular fall favourite: warm and comforting without being either too immature or too overwhelming, very longlasting, and cheap to boot! The only things that some might consider downsides are that it doesn’t change much throughout its long life span, and that it’s not exactly a sophisticated, elegant kind of scent. But these things don’t matter to me, because I’m no Coco Chanel, and I wear so many different perfumes that I don’t have time to get bored by any of them. I think this decant will be used up faster than most, though!
Fenida – :
A beautiful Fall fragrance… I tried this today on one part of my arm along with Perlier Vanilla Coffee (I recieved both as a lovely decanted gift so I just had to, you know how it is) and I smelled of coffee cake while sitting on the porch on a cool Fall morning! Beautiful! This fulfilled my need for a perfect Fall fragrance!
kqc579speagoessenda – :
I came by to say there’s no way there is not APPLE in this even before reading the reviews; I get a BIG, tart green apple baked into a pie. Due to that being the #1 note I smell it wasn’t what I was expecting! Will stick w/ Farah for my gooey warm sweet treat fix for now. (I guess it could be sugared bergamot?)
I also get the tobacco vibe some people mention, leading it to have an aftersmell a bit like apple shishah (hookah tobacco) to me, only w/ amber and immortelle honey tones mixed in. I like to sniff it but I think I’d prefer smelling it in a location rather than on me, you know? Like a rich comfort food candle 😀
purtean – :
This is soooo good. I have not tried Ambre Narguile for a bit, so won’t be comparing the two, but on its own, this is a really lovely fragrance.
The first spray was not that great, I had an impression I smelled a pretty strong alcoholic smell. That was gone within a minute or two, and what you get later, is the gourmand feast of delicious boozy apple pie with a huge dose of cinnamon.
The drydown is all about benzoin, vanilla and tonka. The amber gives it a nice, resinous depth. And the best thing is- the lasting power. I sprayed it to test before going to bed, in the morning, 12 hours later, it is still going strong on my wrists.
I would not go as far as to call is a masterpiece, but it is a super-well made cosy scent that is worth giving it a go if you like rich, gourmand scents.
myxan – :
Dolcelisir was a pleasant suprise!
It was the first L’Erbolario fragrance that I tried out. Yes, yes, yes…I admit it. I read that it is very similar to the much loved and reviewed Ambre Narguile in the Hermessence line. Rent was coming due soon, so rather than shell out the $250 smackers for AN (which I’m sure I will in the near future) I thought I’d try Dolcelisir on for size.
At first sniff I fell in love. There is so much going on in this fragrance. The boozy, warm quality is the first thing that struck me as I tried it on my skin. I picked up a slightly bitter, licorice sambuca-like, or even wormwood note from the very beginning which isn’t part of the AN accords, but I like what it adds to the fragrance. I can smell the “fresh washing powder” notes which blend so harmoniously with the smoke and amber. The gourmand quality, particularly the sweetness reminded me LOOSELY of a few other fragrances; Traversee Du Bosphore and L’Instant de Guerlain pour Homme. Truly a great find. It doesn’t last as long as AN (didn’t really mean to turn this into a comparison), but even after 8 hours I can still smell that sweet, honeyed amber note.
I just love this! And for around $60 for 100 ml, I’d say it is worth every cent. Can’t wait til Fall to really see how it shines!
Sinful80 – :
At first sniff, I do get the jammy undertone of 24Gold from scent story, but it’s really not worth mentioning it cause it’s nothing like 24Gold. It’s like Meharees without the cloves and coated with the tobacco from TM’s Pure Havane/ Parfumes De Marley’s Herod.
If this is compared to Ambre Nargiuile, and I’ve never smelled that, I don’t get the baked apple pie reference. This is creamy, tobacco, cinnamon, and milky vanilla. I don’t get apples.
This truly is an awesome scent. It isn’t loud. It’s sits close to the skin. The longevity is around 5 hours. Totally worth the hype and so glad it’s in my collection. A great reference for anybody that isn’t ready to commit to the really expensive niche frags, yet.

Dolcezza aggraziata e confortante.
Uno spruzzo sul polso e compare magicamente una piccolo bracciale- ghirlanda di fiori di sambuco, ammorbiditi da zucchero di canna, miele, cannella e qualche goccia di rum.
Un profumo delicatamente liquoroso (forse avrei potenziato di più la nota alcolica, essendo fruitrice incondizionata di Idole Lubin…), moderatamente speziato, inebriante senza stordire, caldo.
Fiori tropicali, cubani, altro che profumo “natalizio”…Forse per questo acquista vigore con le alte temperature estive.
La crema corpo ha burrosità e persistenza estrema.
Bello.

Fantastico!! Un profumo molto dolce ma speziato, caldo,assolutamente non scontato!! Vale molto più del suo prezzo!
è a lunghissima tenuta, si sente molto bene il rum e lo zucchero di canna.
Se non conoscessi le componenti del profumo lo definirei tabaccato, un tabacco dolce e avvolgente.
aivis – :
Dolcelisir is a sweet elixir for gourmand lovers. I smell cinnamon, almonds, rum, candied cherries, vanilla, resins and subtle floral notes. It’s sweet, warm, boozy and slightly spicy. It makes me think of sweet liquor or syrup. Not the most sophisticated fragrance, but I don’t believe it’s trying to be that. It’s like a rich dessert: indulgent, sinful, delicious and greedy. And some days I need just that. Overall, it’s not a very heavy or overbearing scent. Projection is medium, which I find ideal for this type of gourmand fragrance. Get it only if you’re a gourmand fan with a sweet tooth and feeling greedy. 😉

Lesthegrelt – :
I had been looking for something spicy and gourmand like this all winter. So darn close to being a dupe for Hermes Ambre Narguile. Cinnamon, boozy and vanilla with a sweet smokey personality. Wearing this I’m in a cloud of scrumptious-ness 🙂
Tagunok – :
Dolcelisir is beautiful. Truly it is. It smells like absolute dream in the bottle. Sweet, playfully intoxicating and inviting. Something possessed me when I got it, perhaps the scent promised me perfection as I am a fan of sweet vanillas and cinnamon…
But… It’s not for me… On me this is straight cherries+tobacco+sugar plus cloying syrupy tone that projects like crazy and almost chokes me.
I gave it away to my sister, it smells lovely on her, sweet, playful, and complex.
JuttaMcwet47 – :
Now this is autumn. Spiced cider, caramel apples, golden tree sap and brightly hued crunchy leaves, with a swirl of bonfire smoke. Akin to Ambre Narguile certainly, but that one is more mom’s apple pie cooling on a windowsill, whereas this one is a Halloween carnival. Both have a gourmand deliciousness, and a very definite taste of apple, despite it not being a listed note in either. While sweet, I don’t really get vanilla from this, it’s a great balance between sweet and savory, salted caramel and rich resins providing a toastiness to the sweeter, smoother notes. Much more to this one than Ambre Narguile, which is I suppose a more day-time, sunny weather equivalent to this. Not talked about enough as a gourmand IMO.
2182 – :
Lots of hype for this one here on Fragrantica.
I sort of agree with below review – it is ok, but not deserving of all of the big raves it gets.
This is like taking 24 GOLD by Scent Story and watering it down, then cutting it with Balmain Ambre Gris, and then ramping up the cinnamon.
Dolcelisir is nice, but not swoon worthy by any sense of the word. For someone looking for a good cinnamon gourmand on a dime this might be your cuppa.
mallstorm – :
Does anyone else notice a pronounced orangey accord combined with the sweetness?

So spicy and so boozy, I think the name is a little misleading for me, it is not so sweet. Will work great in the winter months. Great sillage and longevity. My bottle’s juice level is dropping fast!

Da Italiana, non posso che essere veramente contenta che l’ Erbolario abbia fatto una fragranza simile! io le conosco praticamente tutte, ma questa è un’ altra categoria, è proprio un profumo, complesso e profondo come i migliori e costosi che si trovano in giro, nulla a che vedere con le fragranze fiorite, seppur molto piacevoli, a cui l’ Erbolario ci aveva abituato. E’ solo per chi ama le fragranze dolci e penetranti; il rum alcolico dei primi 10 minuti lascia il posto alle spezie ed al gourmand delle note di fondo, soprattutto caramello e vaniglia, mentre le altre restano molto ben sfumate tra di loro ed indistinguibili. Di certo è splendido in inverno, ma anche nelle caldi notti estive sta benissimo. La persistenza è infinita.
As Italian, I’ m so glad Erbolario made this fragrance; I know every scent they produce, but this one is different, it’s a perfume, complex and deep like a perfume, nothing like the flower-erbal scents they have in their production, pleasant but forgettable.
This one is for those who love sweet and intense fragrances: the alcholic of the rum then leave the place to caramel and vanilla,while other notes remain well blended each others.
Surely it’s on top in Winter, but also in a long hot summer night out. Endless longevity
I adore

I smell also quite long the
