    Wow, this is obviously one of those formulas that is highly sensitive to one's chemistry and perception. I don't remember ever reading so many adverse descriptions, and having a totally different...

    I had no expectations about this one at all. A perfume board friend sent me a decant, so I tried it. I *do* get the jammy note, and it's very pleasant. But I don't like the rose in this. ...

    Keiko Mecheri's descriptions are normally right on, however Gourmandises described as ~ Gourmandises -a comforting powdery complex fragrance with notes of praline, rose petal, jam, saffron and...

    I found this at the Barney's outlet in Camarillo for $30. I picked this of the few they had because of the richness of the scent. I think I was tuning into the 'gourmand' quality. This is not...

    I agree with the previous reviewers...it reminds me of rose tea with lemon. But to me it smells like it is sweetened with an artificial sweetener. I'm 0/4 on really liking any of KM's fragrances....

    I smell grape jelly, cedar, and a hint of tea rose. Reminds me a *bit* of Frapin 1270...it can be interpreted as a fruity wine aroma, minus the smokiness of Frapin. Despite the name, I would not...

    Roses and lemon. The name is so misleading! It smells like the Tea Rose perfume my grandmother used to wear. She no longer wears it, now preferring (get this) J.Lo Glow, but her bedroom still, and...

    Gourmandises is such a misleading name for this fragrance. I find that the sweetness of the rose only "hints" gourmand. The saffron and rose petal jam are the two dominant notes on my skin. ...

    I love this perfume. Praline, Powdery Notes, White Bitter Almonds, Rose Petal Jam, Saffron and Musk. It smells so much like Yves Rocher Ode a l'amour only not as sweet. I read below that some one...

    Expectation is everything. I had heard before this came out that it was going to be a more caramelized, praline version of Loukhoum. In other words, gourmand to the nth degree. I ordered it...

    If you love gourmand scents, this is a must have in your collection. I really found myself liking this scent. I really liked the sweetness in it and loved the sugary almond scent. I am surprised so...

    Given the in depth reviews here already, I won't go much farther. I am not taken by this scent at all, and find it very similar to Loukhoum, with a sharp rose jam base covered in a powdery top...

    This starts out strongly with roses and almonds and a doughy note that luckily bears no resemblance to anything salty or playdoughy. This is where I see the strongest resemblance to her Loukhoum...

    I'm surprised by all the poor reviews for this fragrance. Why? I think it's because Gourmandises smells nothing like the descriptions it's been given on several websites. I prefer this one, from...

    Wow, I was convinced I would love this, even after all the reviews below. NOT! It smells like rose lemon tea to me. Very lemony at first, the rose comes out a few moments later. Nothing powdery...

    It comes on strong and lasts for quite a while...all day I got medicinal notes. When I first put it on, it's not bad, it's almondy, bitter, yet sweet...but it just doesn't smell good. I'll...

    When I read the Nestea review I was surprised, because that is what I get too. Lemony tea with a touch of rose and thankfully a good dose of saffron. I really like the saffron in this, but not...

    It's an okay fragrance to me... but it comes off a little strong to my nose. It smells of powdery rose at first, which I like. But then something awfully tangy/sweet arises to which I seem to be...
