For me this is French patisseries! It’s all the delicious pastries and croissants and goes beautifully with a good black coffee or espresso. I don’t even really like espresso and such but with this perfume I feel Parisian and fabulous, like I’m sitting outside a patisserie in the perfect outfit with my coffee and pastry people watching.
I was unsure of this at first and wondered when I’d ever want to smell like this but it’s found a spot in my heart that nothing could budge it from.
Mafia300 – :
So if you are a fragrance collector, then this is very special for your collection. someone previously said that it smells like a prime ingredient of bread, and like milk too … is absolutely right. Primary substances in a collection scent that very few will flatter you if they smell it on you. it suffices me to smell it … love.
bandit8952 – :
Oh, wow. . . This is magical.
I doubt that I’d typically find a perfume described as “bready” appealing. I’m not terribly fond of coconut, either. But the other notes, namely licorice, milk, apricot, and spices, sounded like such an intriguing formulation that I decided to give it a try.
This may just be my favorite blind buy of all time. It reminds me of so many things all at once: a new baby, the way my mothers skin smelled to me when I was a child, warm sweet rolls fresh from the oven, the milk left at the bottom of a bowl of cinnamon cereal, driving through long stretches of farmland as summer turns to fall. . . There are so many nostalgic olfactory recollections in this bottle, words don’t suffice to describe them all.
The name couldn’t be more right on. This feels less like a perfume, and more like the primal essence of skin itself. It is so cozy and comforting and beautiful, like nuzzling your face against the neck of everyone you’ve ever loved.
Sever33 – :
I just can’t get enough of Jeux de peau. Like I want it to be on my skin 24/7 as if it’s the very part of me. That delectable, delicious smell lingering on my skin is just too addictive.
MaktyaqNA – :
I never thought of sipping champagne while watching a movie and eating slightly caramelized popcorn until I smelt this scent.
buifilfubdine – :
I recently blind bought this along with Serge Noire, which was the main scent I was looking to purchase; it was $46 and change so I figured what the heck. After I placed the order, I started researching some of the reviews for this fragrance and was pretty certain that I made a mistake with this one….
Some people mention a butter popcorn accord, which scared me because I can not stand the smell of buttered popcorn, I’m not really a goumand fan either. This was adding up to a big swing and miss for me. Anyway, it finally arrived and I tested on paper first. I definitley got popcorn, but no buttery scent, it was more of a caramel/nutty accord reminiscent of “cracker jack”, not so bad for me. So, I figured time for a skin test. Got more of the same right off the bat, that caramel, popcorn, nutty mixture. after about 15 min or so the nuttiness subsides and it does become kind of sweet, but not sickly sweet, a very wearable fresh sweetness. Then about an hour in, some woodiness creeps in along with the immortelle, which is a note I am familiar with, that has and almost maple syrup vibe. The scent pretty much remains linear with the immortelle and woody notes through to the end. It was still detectable on my skin the next morning.
For a scent that I was already righting off before I tried it, I have to say I’m really digging it. The Serge Noire However, well thats a story for another day.
DUDE13 – :
Yes, it’s quality, but as guy I do not think I can pull this off. It’s not unisex. It has definitely the food undertone if you smell it right where you sprayed it. It projects a lot from a small sample spray. For me, it resembles old school ladies perfume.
uraganchik – :
I was hoping for more cream than bread, but I got bread. No cinnamon, no Christmas, no licorice, no butter; simply a very yeasty bread.
Strangely enough, Cartier Baiser Vole EDP has a similar yeasty smell. It could be a note that my skin is playing up. I haven’t the faintest idea what, since the listed notes don’t overlap at all.
Gordon11 – :
Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau is a bready, spicy, sweet gourmand that has vanillic overtones with bits of character via the licorice and apricot, though admittedly I don’t detect much of either, specifically, and a milky transparency that makes it easy to wear. It’s fun, comforting, and apt for cold-weather wearing despite not being dense, at least to me.
As far as bready scents go, I’d say that Jeux de Peau is quite agreeable, a gourmand apt for even those that usually don’t like gourmands, since the sandalwood, amber, and spices bring it more back to the middle, toward most perfume, rather than specifically the gourmand. It’s not as dense and deliberately delectable as, say, 4160 Tuesdays Captured by Candlelight, the first and foremost logical comparison that came to mind.
Decently-performing and quite agreeable, its scent is matched only by its great price, a mere $53 for 50ml on FragranceNet. Certainly a bargain to be had, given its quality.
7 out of 10
garcaliuc – :
A little bakery-like to begin with. Bready, biscuity, with spices. And a little milk.
Then settles into predominantly cedar on my skin. Cedar and other aromatic woods, combined with an old English church interior aroma. Not my favourite of places, but I do love that deep history imbued in old furniture, found in such places, along with the resins and spices of incense.
Another place this perfume reminds me of is a cabinet maker’s workshop or a saw mill. The freshly sawn wood smell it emanates, along with the older furniture of antiquity in homes and certain church pews.
I love all aromas. Hence a huge perfume collection. Woody ones are up there for me. Something inspiring and seductive at the same time. This one does it for me.
Expensive though.
Shievedes – :
I already did a review but here’s what I think of it now;
I picture a woman in the kitchen, pulling a tray of freshly baked cinnamon buns out of the oven, and doesn’t put the icing on them.
The smell of the milky dough with spices fills the air like a comforting blanket.
There’s “Autumn Leaves” by Emmy Rossum playing in the background as snow begins to lightly fall outside.
There’s something slightly romantic about this scent, I actually enjoy it though I don’t get any coconut or apricot on my skin.
I accidentally spritzed this on me 3 hours before the gym and as I was training I kept getting whiffs of it, so I imagine this is a powerhouse in the summer.
judopuglia – :
The notes of this one sounded great to me, but what I got when I tested it was yeasty milk with liquorice – not anything I’d ever like to smell like.
No thanks from me.
matovnikov – :
Oh, I am so confused.
At first, I’ve smelled some fruit, don’t know which one, blended with wood. It was weird.
Then, the milk note came out, very similar to milk note in L’Artisan Amour Nocturne, which I love. And the fruit disappeared in a second, thank god.
And then the wheat came in. But something is so strange here, I do agree that wheat comes out a bit industrial, or burnt maybe.
But at one point, it definitely smells like an old bakery. Which is yummy. But it does not smell too sweet (at least on me, but woody notes always dominate on my skin), it actually is very realistic. Bakery smells so nice from a distance, but if you come inside and go back, into the kitchen, there is really strong yeast smell, which is not so nice anymore, it burns your nostrils and the warmth makes you sleepy and a little nauseous until you get used to it. And I think this is it.
Everything in here is so european, so familiar. This is why I get shocked at the rare moments when I can sense coconut, it is so random. And I don’t really understand sandalwood, it makes everything bitter and weird.
But I think weird is right. I am so repulsed by something in it, but cannot stop sniffing myself at the same time. Which I find intriguing. This is an artistic masterpiece, no doubts.
mitrofan11aa – :
Agh, once *again* immortelle crashes in and ruins the party for me. Something really odd going on here in the collision of milky-wheaty and sandalwood notes here – for me the total end result ended up like a slightly cloying malted digestive biscuit with an oddly sweaty tinge. For gourmand fans that might end up being a good thing but for me it’s the wrong , slightly sickly and high side of sandalwood, plus even more sugar syrup, rather than concentrating on more austere natural notes I like more. Sillage is positively bossy on me and staying power well within Lutens range, so if unlike me you really do love a gourmand with bit of extra class, and you’re after a very very sweet sandalwood, give it a shot.
Hokhol – :
I bought this in the winter and after wearing it a few times I’m still not sure how I feel about it.
It’s got major lasting power (as do all Serge Lutens fragrances), and it smells so bready.
I was really hoping for the coconut and licorice notes to come through, but I’m not even sure if I can call this a gourmand as it was basically yeasty but not in a repulsive way.
I asked my boyfriend to smell it and he first said “oh something smells good” to saying “oh. what is that?!” after 2 minutes.
I’ll have to wear it some more before deciding if I like smelling like a sweet bagel.
dima1104 – :
Got it after being on sale at Costco, believe it or not. This is definitely a gourmand to me. I get a strong praline pecan ice cream from it, and I have to stay away from that stuff so I can’t have it calling to me all day. Returned it.
Милашка – :
At first it smelled like a sugary nut flavored candle, I thought oh that’s funny.
Now, sadly, it’s kind of nauseating me – I get a little of the bakery vibe – but more “back of the bakery” to me – maybe dough got caught in a greasy gear, near a dusty fan. Smells sort of industrial, or maybe like burnt dirt.
Obviously Serge Lutens grew up in a different time and place, and smelled things I have never smelled. I live in a pretty sanitary world. So I appreciate this scent, but it’s not enjoyable for me today.
kL1N – :
Weird & wonderful Jeux de Peau. Starts out bready & homely smelling, followed by sweeter apricot danish pastry with a hint of immortelle. The middle & base notes are lovely, really creamy woods with a little floral (osmanthus?) coming through & an occasional whiff of apricot (I need to huff on my arm to catch it). These are the main accords to me, but there’s more going on here that a better nose than mine could identify. As it progresses it’s surprisingly easy to wear – smooth, warm & comforting.
I can see the similarity with Santal Majuscule, & based on notes alone I expected to prefer Santal Maj – but I don’t! I much prefer this with its strange (for a perfume) opening, oddly cohesive complexity, & above all the gentle milky soft creaminess that I don’t really get in SM.
Longevity & silage are great, it easily lasts all day but without ever being overbearing. JdP is so aptly named, but it’s one to wear for your own pleasure & too unusual to be a crowd pleaser. May be not to everyones taste, but it certainly is mine. Interesting, different, & never boring! Slightly addictive, & a really clever perfume (imo) – that quickly grows on you. I love it 🙂
garik19801980 – :
First spray on skin it smells like tuna sandwich with a lot of black pepper,fresh vegetables & dried herbs!! it takes time to settle down to a sweet creamy resinous&spicy scent,let’s say a vanilla vetiver cardamom combo on dry down.so can i wear it as a perfume or it’s just a nice full of good memories scent that i can’t stop sniffing my arm while it is still there?!!…it definitely is a perfume cos the passive noses find it quite delicate & pleasant.
siegfried80 – :
Yeasty. And by that I mean it reminds you but doesnt smell like warm breads on a cold morning. Sweet in a decadent way. Spilt sweet milk in the Woods. Cozy but maybe just for you.
Not everyone creeps in the middle of a lush forest night to grab sweet bread. But for those that do, there’s a warm basket readied with sweet goodies.
Artem-161 – :
On my first full wear I am confident of 2 things:
1. I love it.
2. I will rarely wear it.
How can I be sure of those two things? Well, this is not for the mass market. It isn’t one that people are going to smell and appreciate. Even for fragrance fans it is distinctly weird. Even if you aren’t looking for compliments (I’m not) this is one that may get some criticism by those around you because it is so different and not what people are used to smelling.
Is it a gourmand? Not really. It has some gourmand notes, but it doesn’t smell like a food as much as it does and idea or maybe a memory of food. The gourmand notes move to the back as it enters the dry down and the sandalwood takes over.
It is gorgeous, it is wearable, it is weird (in the best possible way) and it is artistic. It’s the kind of scent I will wear when I want to relax on a cold, rainy day. I’m a becoming a huge fan of Serge Lutens and this one is a gem.
ТudesaTuna – :
An undeniable and oddly unchallenging love for me. Being a gourmand, this is something I’d usually be hesitant of and perhaps not try but this is a gourmand with a twist. What smells comfort you? Do you enjoy walking past the warm doorways to a bakery, where the smell of freshly baked bread wafts out? If so… this scent is for you.
While not entirely or perfectly capturing that idea that I most likely just concocted by my own devices, it captures something that many might not particularly enjoy. Many won’t, but more probably will. Like many votes and plebiscites we might have seen in our day… the margin between ‘yes’ and ‘no’ may be very narrow.
The woods are warm, the wheat is yeasty and milky. The flowers are white, luscious and creamy. The spices are soft and quite near non-existent, depending on your skin type. Fruits and mildly alcoholic aromas waft gently, suggesting something of a traditional ‘down home’ bakery. Coconut, which I usually abhor, is soft and milky also. Quite remarkable how immortelle is something that can work with the most noir of fragrances, but can also elevate the sweetest (or, in this case, the lack thereof. Traditional sweetness, at least) fragrances. Peppery, to the the point of a soft tickle in the back of the nose. Perhaps not there in aroma, but in texture or feeling
Quite an unusually standard scent that manages to be unlike anything I’ve ever smelt in a fragrance. I detect muskiness, but that may just be me. Remarkable, beautiful and perhaps my first proper ‘love’ from the Serge selection (save Arabie and Muscs Koublai Khan)
Ramiraz – :
This scent is undeniably interesting and original. However, as a gourmand fragrance is too woody for me. The sweet milky and corny notes which I love so much are distinct just after a spray but they last just for a moment and then… I can smell nothing but the prominent sandalwood 🙁
Yet, all in all, Jeux de Peau remains something for connoisseurs.

NIKITA14 – :
warm milk + cedar > pastry/cookies in the oven + fenugreek and other spices > outrageous, hot buttered popcorn!
Dries down to a pleasant, softer, wood scent with a little sweetness and fenugreek like spiciness. The Immortelle and woody/cedar notes are dominant for me.
It’s a fun little ride. Not something I would wear daily, but nice for a winter evening…

I adore this perfume – it’s like wearing a bakery without any sickly sweetness. You’re getting the rising dough, the slightly caramelized edges, the high-quality base instead of a sugar coating. A grown-up gourmand! Unfortunately, yesterday a sales associate at Barney’s told me it is being discontinued. I hope he’s wrong.

KoLLIak – :
Not for everyday use, only on very rare occasions, and for your personal enjoyment, not office friendly and not even for a night out, don’t get me wrong, I love it but I wear it on those rare “me time” occasions in winter, with lots of snow outside. It ticks a nostalgia button, smells just like a bakery with fresh bread and cinnamon buns just out of the oven. This one really has a big sillage and a satisfying longevity.
ynka90 – :
I was so excited for this one! An oriental with a bread note, what could be wrong with that . . .
Occasionally when out and about I would encounter toddlers that smell kind of like stale crackers. It’s a scent that makes my stomach turn and made me question my decision to have children when I was pregnant . . . The bread note kind of smells like that.
I’m certain that this is a great scent for people who don’t have this negative connotation, but I just can’t unsmell it.
alush78 – :
Smells like a pumpkin spice candle lol. Like that very recognizable waxy, nutmeggy, pumpkinny, cinnamony smell.

My feelings toward Jeux de Peau transformed from horror to true love within a few weeks. Amazing!
Mexml092InsuffBooni – :
Warm Graham crackers!
Jeux de Peau feels like a perfect cross between Santal Majuscule and ELDO’s Tilda Swinton Like This. Subtract the cocoa from Majuscule, and amp up the caramelized sugar from Like This, and voilà, JdP. Doing a side-by-side wrist comparison between JdP and the ELDO, and there are marked similarities. Bonkers-carbohydrates without the diabetes.
Peeta, the hot-buns Baker from _Hunger Games_ would smell like this.
Projection & Longevity are enormous. One spray on the wrist will last til next year’s wheat harvest.
pup016speagoessenda – :
This was a failed blind buy for me. I really like gourmand scents, but this is too strange. What I smell is some kind of spicy bread. I feel this is more like an experiment with kitchen flavors than a perfume. I enjoy the smell, it’s warm, spicy, but I doubt a man or a woman should smell like this. I tried to layer this with Un bois de vanille and that made it more wearable. I guess I was expecting something sweeter. I don’t smell any licorice or milk, just yeast and spices. It has great longevity, I sprayed once on my wrist and it stayed there all day.
beehart – :
This smells like a Christmas candle!! A winter perfume for sure.
klopomor – :
Ha ha, did someone below mention that the first notes smelled just like Jelly Belly butter popcorn jellybeans? These notes go away very fast and become a soft, camphorous, milky, woody, scent balanced by very light fruit and spices. Quite lovely and unlike anything else I’ve ever encountered. I blind bought four Serge Luten’s including Un Bois Vanille, Bas de Soie, Feminite du Bois online for a good price and three out of four are great, interesting, unique. The Un Bois Vanille is not good, due to overwhelming coconut and weak vanilla.
Can’t wait to get Une Fille de Berlin, a spicy rose oriental which I accidently found out goes great layered with Vaniglia del Madagascar by I Profumi de Firenze.
маруся85 – :
This smells so gorgeous. The wheat note is very present making it earthy but different. Everything is smooth and blended and just spiced enough. This is the first SL that really lived up to the hype in my book. The undertone feels almost leathery. I guess that is wood. Definitely unisex even though there is sweetness. On the right man, this would be dreamy too.
XxX24 – :
At first I thought the people likening SL Jeux de Peau to SL Santal Majuscule must be crazy (I know, all 50+ of them!), but now that I’ve had the chance to test JdP properly, I definitely see the similarity as both fragrances reach the heart and drydown.
While Santal Majuscule opens with cocoa-dusted rose on my skin, JdP starts off with a blast of something sweet and buttery. I’ve seen lots of mentions of bread and baking, but to me it actually smells more like buttered popcorn jelly beans! Only the most expensive, hand-crafted, artisan, niche jelly beans, of course 😉 But still buttered popcorn jelly beans.
As a result, the first few minutes are a bit too on-the-nose gourmand (no pun intended!), even for my food scent-loving tastes, but fortunately the jelly beans disappear after about 5-10 minutes and the more conventional baking analogies creep to the fore. I never get licorice (a shame, since I love it) or wheat/flour (as I do in L’Artisan’s Bois Farine, for example), but there’s an abstract ‘something good is in the oven’ feeling about this phase of the scent.
About an hour in, the true gourmand phase has run its course and we’re left with the Lutens sandalwood base that also appears in Santal Majuscule. At this point, the similarity really is striking – to the extent that if I owned both bottles, I might want to go back and check which one I’d used that morning. For that reason, I’m not sure it would be necessary to own both, unless you were just really enamored of the disparate opening phase of each. For me, while I enjoy the cheeky, candied opening of Jeux de Peau, I find the cocoa rose of Santal Majuscule to be just a little more interesting.
dvorbogdan – :
Quoting my fellow fic writer Vinora, Luten’s Jeux de Peau smells like an EPIC BABY. By baby I refer to infant.
This is M.Luten’s creative eeriness at its new peak. Although design for night, this soft scent reminds me morning cereal with full fat milk. Full fat, fruity, coconut synthetic milk. I do get why people wish to smell like savoury liquorice and vanilla deserts in nighttime, but morning cereal? Maybe it’s some one’s fetish or a thing, I’lll pass.
Imagery: embroiled soft, milky fluffiness. A kitten whom naughtily sleeps on the head of l’enfant.
Alternatively: “Huston, we have a problem…Emma spilled her cereal on my blouse again!”
Interesting combination of notes, with a gradual, structurally clean progression. Ultra soft and cozy with medium longitivtiy. I tend to spray this on during diet to create an illusion of atmospheric Carbohydrate.
7/10, for its destructive creativity.
kpavel3 – :
When I read the notes and saw milk and wheat I thought that sounded disgusting, but after finding out this is the favorite scent of a friend, I had to actually give it a sniff. Lesson learned. Don’t let the weird notes put you off trying this- it’s soft, sweet warm and lovely! Very cozy. If you associate scent with colors this is a soft baby blue 🙂 I think if you like freesia, you will like this.
Random association, but if you’ve ever had sahlep (a delicious sweet, spicy, warm milk dessert drink) this smells like what it tastes like.
dcn174speagoessenda – :
The translation of Jeux de Peau (skin games) makes perfect sense to me. When I wear this, I don’t know if I am going to smell salted caramel, buttered popcorn, or maple syrup covered pancakes. But I do know I’m going to smell delicious!
I definitely get the fenugreek association. That funky mapley spice is there for me. Love Jeux de Peau!
Hammerschtein – :
Yes very cozy and sexy! Could not Even wait until fall to Get the full bottle. Could I pul it of on chilly summer nights to? I Get brioche and apicot jam and maybe wilst drinking that wonderfull tea from Yogi, the licorice one! Very unique very much a niche and very complex I’m in love! This is defo a love letter.
UnusDies – :
This is one of those fragrances I want to like so much more than I actually do. Before researching my sample (a gift from a friend), I wasn’t really drawn to it. Upon realizing it might be the gourmand of my dreams, I gave it another shot. Let me say this: It’s not bad in any way. Quite good, actually! But it isn’t my favorite interpretation of this sort of thing.
Jeaux de Peau is like stepping into an exotic bakery! The smell of fresh baked bread, spiced milk, butter, and coconut oil. There is a sweet and creamy saltiness as well, and perhaps a hint of popcorn (like in La Fin Du Monde by Etat Libre d`Orange). I dislike licorice and I think that is what is holding this back from being something I want to wear often. But I think this could be an all season perfume, whether it warms you in cooler months or inspires picnics outside during summer.
Bath and Body Works used to make a French Baguette scented candle, and I think this is very similar. It smells like an approximation of something much more complex.
cristina0509 – :
This is hot buttered pancakes with maple syrup enjoyed on a snowy winter morning with a steaming mug of hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire wearing cozy flannel PJ’s
Wearing this in the wrong season would be disastrous. Saving this for the first blustery day next fall/winter.
If you’re not into unique, don’t bother with Uncle Serge’s inventions, you just wont appreciate or admire the complexity.

this smell something a bit floral (in a comforting way) to me at first sniff, but then it soon turns into smell of hot bread dipped into hot milk. Really foody but not in the way that will make you stink… Until about mid note. i don’t know what the mid note is about, i just don’t like it, sometimes it smells like fish sauce on me. But yeah i can still bear with that, the drydown is really nice: woody in a high-quality way. Sillage okay, longevity good.

I also own Santal Majuscule and Adam Levine for women. Sorry but there is only a very vague resemblance. I wouldnt have bothered acquiring it if it was so similar.
Yes, you get the sandalwood up front then it sweetens a little to suddenly resemble the smell of fresh baked bread. I steered clear of this for a long time because of the food comments. Thankfully this stage is very brief. For the rest of its timeline its more like lightly spicey osmanthus. Its very lovely.
Low level sillage but the longevity is above average.

My experience today with this scent: I smelled a lot of BYREDOs, Frederic Malle, Diptique…”Yes, nice, beautiful, interesting… What do we have here: Jeux de peau”…Ooooo” Now, there is no way to describe the feeling of this scent better: it just grabbed me! I adore it and I had to have it. It was speaking to me 🙂 It is such a comforting happy scent.
Аслан – :
This is a sweet, gourmand incense. Very earthy and to bring up the earthy skin alike sensation it’s good to add a tiny hint of patchouly, just a hair or it becomes cloying. I love it.
Snooki – :
Tried a sample of this. Very pleasant colder weather scent. It is a bit sharper than Adam Levine for Women but pretty much smells the same to me.
kuhta_sanya – :
If you use Serge Lutens perfume in the wrong weather, it would be very terrible and headaches. This perfume is not sweet, but still savoury and gourmet and woody. It is like a bread still in its packing paper, some one say it ‘s old papers. It is interesting, unique and can only used in cold or very cold weather.
riw257Unlogrere – :
this reminded me so much of a few perfumes all at once:
– L’Artisan Piment Broulant (I think that’s the name!)
– Kilian Sacred Wood
– Serge Lutens (one of the Santal-majascule/minuscule something range)
– Serge Lutens (Santal Mysore)
Serge must use the SAME stock sandalwood base for all his santalwood perfumes, and it’s so strong, because this note dominates the scent. I was hoping for more milk and/or wheat, alas, it doesn’t come through as strong as i’d’ve hoped. Anyway, this scent is a little too delicate and dainty for mine. it’s soft and wispy, and that’s fine, i guess, but it needed a stronger resin or wood to complete the package.
nice, but not for me…
ZZZandZZZ – :
I’m so glad that I got to sniff this in person; otherwise, it would’ve been a very unsuccessful blind buy. I do like my fair share of sweet perfumes, but Jeux de Peau is very cloying IMO. I was expecting it to smell sweet, milky and creamy (kinda like the malt-flavoured Vitasoy milk) but it just ends up smelling like bread. Granted it’s very perfume-y bread, but still…. bread. Smells very strong of wheat and yeast. Un Bois Vanille reigns as Serge Luten’s best gourmand scent, and was a 100% successful blind buy for me.
fullvideohentai – :
I’m a hardcore serge lutens fan and I don’t easily dislike any fragrance but in this case I have no choice but disliking this
It was an unsuccessful blindbuy,something that rarely happens for me..I expected jeaux de peau to be sweet,delicious and creamy..it’s definitely foody and creamy but no way sweet or delicious
There is a local bread people bake here in villages and for special traditional ceremonies,it’s made of wheat,milk and dill(kind of vegatative additive)..I can swear jeaux de peau smells identical to that bread,which is by the way not sweet,and not that much delicious
Even if I didn’t know about that bread,I’d dislike it,I love gourmand fragrances but not all foody scents are suitable as a perfume,who wants to smell like a giant bread dough with some dill in it?!
Yes,it’s creamy,very unique in fragrance world,warm and cozy but not wearable IMHO
This is definitely unisex,since I can’t think of gender for a bread,I’ve tried this one on lots of my friends skin and they all told me”are you kidding?!is it really a perfume?”
this is all about baked wheat,milk,sandalwood and a hint of spices..I can’t detect any coconut or apricot or sweetness..it’s completely linear on my skin and it’s buttery creamyness becomes nauseous after some time,as if you’ve eaten lots of unbaked bread dough
Longevity is very good on my skin but sillage is soft to moderate,it’s better in colder months since in heat it becomes unpleasantly sourish
I agree it’s very similar to santal majescul’s top notes,they are just similar in initial minutes when santal majescul is all about creamy sandalwood it’s very similar to this one minus spices but as other notes showup it goes to other way,I like santal majescul however I hate this one,so try both of them on your own skin
