Bonbon Couture

I almost fell in love with Bonbon Couture's warm, gooey caramel scent... if it weren't for the spicy tobacco and jasmine notes. Just not my vibe, coming from an introverted 18 yr old girl, lol. It's verrry loud and verrry sweet, so I wouldn't recommend for the faint of heart. It does smell delicious, so if gourmand scents are your thing, and you don't mind a little smokiness, then I'd say give it a shot :) -Scent 7.5/10 -Sillage 8/10 -Longevity 8/10 -Age range 20-39

My favorite Bon Bon is definitely Couture. Caramel taffy with a nice brightness that prevents this from being cloying on me while still not being fruit forward. It is through and through caramel. Yes patchouli is a tricky note depending, but that and the white tobacco were very much needed to make the caramel note last. I love the addition and it’s not muggy. It helps when you don’t wear this very warm weather. The vanilla ensures the sweetness lasts too and the creamy sandalwood blends all the notes while creating a Dulce de Leche effect. Without this base, BB Couture would’ve turned into a skin “baby wipe” powdery musk that caramel easily does like in Prada Candy. I remember trying this last year at Ulta and it was gorgeous on both my skin and the tester strip, which was very fragrant on my table for the week every time I walked by. On my skin, it lasts just as long although it doesn’t project 6+ hours later. I’m not sure if it’s discontinued now because it’s not in stores but I do see it on fragrancenet. Either way, my travel is enough and fulfills what I was missing: a sweet, non-popcorn, unburnt, dominant caramel fragrance.

I live in the northenmost Europe, and during this time of year it's cold, cold, cold and dark, dark, dark all around me. It's also the end of the Holiday Season, which always gives me a bit of the blues... So a big Thank You for this beautiful scent! It's delicious and comforting (because of the caramel and vanilla notes) but also uplifting, almost cheery, because of the mandarin/neroli/peach combo. The pathouli (usually a difficult note for me) behaves and doesn't steal the show. A wonderful fragrance to face the winter working days.

very pretty scent but vanishes IMMEDIATELY after i spray it on me. i smell it for 2 seconds and right when it starts to dry down i get nothing. disappointing.... i wanna keep it because i love the notes, but that's pointless when there's other scents that i'll be able to actually pick up.
