Order me a tonne of baby wipes if they smell like the delicious, Talc Gourmand.
This is one of my favorite scent.
She reminds me of Dior Feve Delicious but with powder, not exactly the same but the same genre, only I love TG and only like Feve.
Talc Gourmand does come across as over zealous at first spray but’ she settles fast to a respectable, elegant, beautiful scent I adore.
We’ve been together quite a while now, I can’t imagine life without her to be honest, She is a keeper, One to hold on too, until the very end, When they will have to pry her from my, cold, tightly gripped fingers, once I am gone. lol.
I’m looking for a bottle any size.
Big Love ❤

Overall, after a short drydown, Talc Gourmand smells very much like a sweeter version of L’Occitane Amande bath products, which I love, on serious steroids in both strength and quality. This is a bit more powdery, especially the opening, though the almond steps up it’s game fairly quickly. It’s lovely, slightly sweet, and soft, yet potent, so a full bottle will probably last forever. I blind purchased from Osswald (An excellent parfumerie with top notch service. Highly recommended) and couldn’t be happier. It’s a keeper, for sure.

Yes, like baby powder and vanilla. Not so much as I would prefer to smell as an adult, but pleasing and sweet in any case. I own and prefer Vaniglia del Madagascar and Cara from this house.

A soft, comforting cloud to fall into after a long day at work.
Thick, luscious and luxurious powder embraces me softly. Heliotrope lends the fragrance an airy and swirly character. Honey adds aromatic sweetness without the stickiness or oversweet sugary tones that I sometimes encounter in honey-based fragrances.
This is a warm, comfy blanket on cold days, and a dry, powdery, clean scent on hot and humid days.
It has never let me down, no matter when I reach for it. I just love it!

What a lightness of being, which comes out of this sample of Talc Gourmand! It felt like opening a box of Rakhat Loukhum Turkish delights when I was a child.. Great mood and a smile guaranteed.

I had such high hopes for this one. Alas, it was nothing more than powder with a hint of some vague sweetness. I did get hints of the honey at the very end of the drydown, but it was fleeting and way to late to make an impression. Keiko Mecheri’s Loukhoum is a way better powdery gourmand IMHO.

Very, very powdery, and very sweet! I’m sensitive to powder smells though, so it’s a no for me. I’ve got most of the sample left. Drop me a PM if you’d like it!

I ordered a decant of this because it sounded oddly juvenile. Caramel, chocolate and baby powder? Hmm, okay, why not? Truthfully, I thought it sounded dreadful, but the fact is, only the skin can tell, when it comes to perfume, and I’ve certainly loved my share of scents that looked like abominations on paper. Unfortunately, this scent was also an abomination on my skin. My first impressions were of the smell of something burnt and unwholesome, an unctuous and leaden “caramel” note that I’d expect from a dollar store body spray, not a costly niche perfumer. Then came the scent of baby powder, a scent I normally love, but found joyless and oddly dirty here. These notes taken together created a crass and dreary scent that was almost visibly lank and lifeless on the skin, reminiscent of a gas station changing table. I would have hurried to wash it off, but it was actually so awful on me that I just kept smelling myself in fascination and horror. Never has such a cheerful array of innocent notes been arranged to such dismal, oppressive effect. And what a feat to make baby powder smell unclean. It simply has to have been my chemistry- there’s no way the scent could smell this bad on everyone else.
This scent has been compared here and there to Il Profumi di Firenze’s Talco Delicato, and although both scents are definitely reliant on baby powder, Talco Delicato is very different- it is a buoyant and fuzzy powderpuff of a scent, discreetly spicy and rosy, with no trace of the adolescent synthetics of Talc Gourmand. It is much closer to Villoresi’s Teint de Neige, if comparisons must be made, though Villoresi’s has a wind-dried linen like scent that Delicato forgoes in favor of a very downy musk note.

Baby powder and fresh baby diapers. It was as if I’d put on a bit of vaguely gourmand fragrance, then given the baby a bath. Now he smells so sweet and powdery clean! And so do I.
I’m sorry, I don’t want to smell like that. My kids are out of diapers and I don’t want to be a grandma yet! Also, I would just go buy baby powder and use that instead.

Very pretty sweet and powdery gourmand, but it’s been done a million times before. This is kind of like a lite version of Keiko Mecheri’s Loukhoum.

This is almost a dead ringer for Talco Delicato. So incredibly close that if you have one it’s utterly pointless to have the other. I was soooo looking forward to sniffing this one! If you love love love powder~you have found nirvana! If you only like, or cannot tolerate powder~run! It was too much for me~very cloying. On the other hand, I like powder~but only in small doses.It is a warm fragrance, but for me, it was very very difficult to pin point the notes because they were all behind that thick veil of…you guessed it~POWDER!
There is no false advertising here. Kudos for being exactly what it says it is! And I love this parfum line~this one in particular however~not so much. YMMV!
