This is an excellent gourmand. Like a well done cookie. Sweet but not overly so. Projects for a good 4 to 5 hours. Sits closer to the skin for another 4 hours before becoming a skin scent that I was still able to detect the next day. I love gourmands, and this is one of the best. If you are in the area, or not, it's worth a stop into OSME perfumery. What I liked about his shop is he isn't tied to any one brand. He's not a "Creed specialist" who only wants to push that brand, and is not motivated or knowledgeable about other houses. Maurice loves the art, loves to show you around and let's you make a move to purchase when you're ready. Good dude, great stock, excellent experience.
