Oh my stars! This sounds heavenly.
I have always wanted to do that, have a custom scent made.
Would you mind sharing the perfumer? Please.. I love my gourmand vanilles/vanillas & I always have a bottle of Shalimar on my dressing table but this sounds fun.
And please update when you've had a chance to try it. I'm excited for you, I hope you LOVE it.

Thank you. It's on it's way, so we'll see how long the mail takes. I also love vanilla scents, and gourmand scents. I almost did a scent of just eggnog and vanilla.

Here's the website to order.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
I appreciate it.. I'm gonna check them out..
Eggnog & Vanilla yum! Sounds like a delicious holiday fragrance.

Here are a bunch I've recently tested:

Gucci Bloom: surprised how much I liked this, as I'm not that into florals. Reminiscent of Envy Me, however.
Hexennacht Cream Egg: was hoping for a more Cadbury cream egg vs. a soft milky chocolate
Hexennacht Nanaimo Bar: very desserty; coconut comes through nicely; buttery baked-goods kind of vibe
Kyse Perfumes Delizia di Marshmallow: very long-lasting, sweet but not overt. Think white sugar
Lurker & Strange Carpe Noctem: realistic bitter coffee note; dries down into a milky sweetness
Lurker & Strange Imperia Cognati: milky coconut
Nocturne Alchemy Jammybottoms: many different types of vanilla: extract, sweet, creamy...
Simone Andreoli Leisure in Paradise: nicely done- subtle pineapple & coconut mix; dries down with some vanilla. Unique.
Smelly Yeti Cinnamon Bun: Hint of cinnamon, lots of cream cheese icing. Not a gooey sweet one.
Solstice Scents Estate Vanilla: starts off like vanilla extract; dries down into an almost plasticy sweetness (aka "doll head")
Solstice Scents Postprandial: Bailey's Irish cream. Nicely boozy. (accidentally got this in my mouth. Don't advise!)
Sucreabeille Cup of Ambition: realistic coffee subtly sweetened
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy: pleasantly sweet, almost a clean shampoo note

For those who like the food fragrance, doesn’t it make you hungry?

No. Simply smelling food anywhere does not make me hungry, especially when it comes to wearing a gourmand.

For me, no but I do end up looking like a fool, sniffing my own arm way too much.
The gourmand vanillas are intoxicating. I don't care for florals, however, I do like Guerlain Shalimar, it's about as close to a floral as I get.
I have a pear scent and a cantaloupe/orange blend that are perfect for hot summer days. I guess they could make me crave fruit but I'm a huge fruit eater/lover anyway so it's hard to tell if it's the perfume or just me.

That's beautiful..

What a fun thread! I love fragrances that lean slightly masculine, something a dark horse would wear. But I absolutely love 'powdery lady' scents too. My favourites at the moment are Korres Black Pepper and Prada Paradoxe.

Though, many days I wear no fragrance. I can feel sick from them.

Demeter Raspberry layered with Montale Sweet Vanilla

Quoting you from the other thread
May I ask how you layer your fragrances? Do you spray one, let it dry and then spray the other on the same spot, or do you spray each in a different place?

Prada mastered the iris/powdery fragrances.
paradox is next on my list. Might do edt as a daytime fragrance though.

Curious if any women out there wear Oud for Greatness. I just bought a 10 ml bottle and am trying to figure out how to wear it. I love it but it feels a tad too masculine.

Maybe try layer with a soft, more feminine scent? Vanilla or a single note floral if you like those?
I personally am not a huge fan of Oud but my son, who is a bigger fragrance nut than I, loves it in his scents.
He also layers it. My mom, rest her soul, got him into fragrances at around 5yrs old by gifting him some Versace Blue Jeans.

Girls, please! I'm searching for a fragrance with bright cherry note, not too sweet, and not too simple. Let me know if someone knows some good. Don't recommend Lost Cherry)) Thanks!
