Description
“Lait de Biscuit leads us in a flash back to our childhood – a delicious fragrance, reminiscent of cherished treats. A fateful blend of sweetness and mouthwatering delicacies. A wonderful eau de toilette that offers a journey through time and maximum enjoyment at the same time.The fragrance composition of “Lait de Biscuit” consists of a triumvirate of the finest sweets. The beginning is made by pastry notes. Should we think of butter biscuits, cake or ladyfingers? Perhaps the caramel notes, reminiscent of toffee and roasted almonds, are already leading us by the nose? Finally, there is also the subtle vanilla, and who wants to decide amongst all these treats whether it’s a vanilla ice or a vanilla pudding?” – a note from the brand.
Lait de Biscuit by Chabaud Maison de Parfum is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. The fragrance features caramel, vanilla and biscuit.

Delicious, buttery, sweet, vanilla-y and milky, this is a true, foody gourmand in the bakery family. The scent is so tasty that it makes me crave sweets. I can’t stop smelling myself, it’s so scrumptious. Smells like a rich butter biscuit or shortbread. I’m also reminded of the scent of Cocoa Puffs—that sweet, comforting vanillin fragrance. I’m getting some toffee, too. It’s linear, but since I love the scent from the moment it goes on, that’s exactly what I want from this. This is the gourmand I’ve been longing for, and I’ve fallen in love. Delightful and lovely. One to treasure.
I only wish it was stronger and lasted longer. I have to do a double application of this, each one a heavy one, and even then I can only smell it lightly on myself. Definitely a skin scent, very low sillage. Perhaps I’ve been smelling myself so much that my nose gets too used to the scent and can’t detect it anymore. In any case, I’m going to go through this bottle very quickly.
The packaging is also lovely—a beautiful, simple clear glass cylinder with white label, black cursive script, and a pale pink border. It reminds me of an elegant, minimalist wedding invitation.
If you’re in the US and you don’t have any retailers near you that carry it, this scent is available from Osswald NYC for $105.00. I live in MA and ordered on a Wednesday and received it the next day, even without paying for express shipping! They also generously included 3 samples, all in the vanilla family, 2 of which were also from Maison Chabaud. Even though this perfume is far more expensive than I would normally pay for a scent, it’s that kind of care and thoughtfulness that will keep me coming back as a customer. That and the scent, of course. 🙂

I’m now sitting in a library in Norway’s oldest town, with a snowy, wooden housed view. It’s five days until christmas and I’m writing my final exam for the year.
To motivate myself to walk the icy road to sit down and write, I decided to make a pit stop at the local perfume store. I knew they had TF Oud Wood, and I wanted to smell like that today. But before spraying it on myself, I took the time to search the shelves for new fragrances, and I saw they had started taking in Chabaud. It is my first experience with the house. I smelled all nine they had. Some were nice, most were a bit too light for the season, but this really stood out. Sniffing without reading the name, I got a clear image of cheap Tom and Jerry biscuits we have here in Norway. They smell like buttery biscuits with lots of vanillin. Wow! I love the smell of those, but the taste is cheap.
The perfume, on the other hand, I loved straight away. Better quality than the biscuits. To me it just smells of biscuits with a heavy dose of vanillin (absolutely not real vanilla).
While sitting in the library corner, I can’t stop smelling my arm. It is really cozy, and perfect for the setting. I don’t think it’s one to wear in any situation, but just for my own pleasure, it is perfect.
Not complex and exiting enough for me to buy a bottle, but so pleasurable that this isn’t my last wearing.
Evening update on the performance:
This is not a screamer, and I believe that is a good thing. It would be weird if this would overpower the fish dish I was eating for dinner. About the longevity, I’m pleasantly surprised. It sits close to the skin without loosing any elements for a really long time!

Another delightful gourmand creation by Chabaud. A true bakery scent, but so sweet and light that it subconsciously grabs peoples’ attention and causes those around me lean in and ask “what IS that?!” Bravo!

Buttery madeleines fresh out of the oven. It is dipped with cooked condensed milk, not quite yet a caramel but nonetheless lovely.

Lait de biscuit is like butterscotch caramel being dripped over vanilla ice cream. Very real, not synthetic at all. But its very linear, as has been said. Pehaps as a layering base it would achieve more complexity. But if you wanna snell like a caramel sundae, then this is what you are looking for.

True to its name, Lait de Biscuit opens with the wonderful scent of a butter biscuit soaked in milk that has been boiled with vanilla beans. So creamy and yummy!
Midway, it develops what appears to be a burnt quality, like that of burnt sugar, which is essentially caramel. It doesn’t smell like charcoal though, and helps ensure that this isn’t overly linear by giving the creamy biscuit a touch of sweetness and some smoke.
Apart from the appearance of a caramel-like note, there wasn’t much development in this fragrance, but that’s fine if all you’re looking for is a gourmand that is positively delicious and delightful!
Projection was alright, not too strong, but noticeable. It started sitting close to the skin around the 5 hour mark.
