Lann-Ael Lostmarch for women

This does start of smelling like a bowl of Fruit Loops cereal for sure, but it settles quickly and as soon as it does it is divine. Softly fruity sweet, (though I wouldn't say it smells particularly of apple at all) creamy smooth like warm milk and honey, this is very homey and relaxing, though a bit gourmand. I can completely understand people who say it makes them think of a mother and child, and it's name, which means 'Angel Heath' seems very appropriate. Sillage is lovely and staying power very good, 6-8 hours or so, though linear. Can't decide whether it's full bottle worthy as I have a fragrance of a similar vein already, but a definite like.

This scent is perfect for a cold winter's day or night at home. It does indeed smell of cooked buckwheat and milk or oatmeal homeade served with a pinch of spice and a poached apples and rhubarb compote. It's a cozy gourmand treat. Perfect for nuzzling.

it smells like an apple pie in a winter day...really delicious!!!

Fruit Loops and hay in a bowl of milk to start, and then ultra dense vanilla crepes. This is truly a skin scent, one meant to be smelled on warm bodies by noses close enough to nuzzle; it feels wrong, somehow, to smell this sprayed over clothes. Ultimately Lann-Ael is too heavy for me to wear all over, but a little dabbed onto the crook of my arm every so often makes for a rare yet decadent treat.

Update: I have since purchased a full bottle of Lann-Ael and am in love. It does seem to have that odd characteristic where when I try to smell it by putting my nose up to my skin, it seems weak and barely present, yet at other times in the day, I'll catch a strong whiff of deliciousness radiating from my wrist. I suspect that there's some molecule in this fragrance that is so large that it temporarily causes anosmia by blocking receptors in the nose. All of that is to say, this is a gorgeous fragrance, but not one that should be reapplied feverishly throughout the day.

Lann-Ael is so strong, I could smell it before I opened my package...At first I thought someone had spilled Vintage Tabu inside..I'm not saying this smells like Tabu though,don't get me wrong.. Lann-Ael just packs a strong gourmand vanilla punch, I think my butt grew on first sniff! I don't get a heavy or noticeable hay or apple note. It's so well blended..Very decadent, creamy, and cozy..It makes me feel like Goldilocks eating her porridge,truly... and it's bit salty too, but so full of sugar, milk, & biscuits...yummy :-)

This is exactly like incence sticks I once had. They came in a chique black and silver box and were called 'super hit'. And for incense, this was quite something different...
The Lan-ael is cotton-candy-like sweet, but with great depth. Too heavy for me, though. By the way, I smell not a single apple. Hay, yes, but not ordinary hay. Pimped-up hay. Cotton candy cones made of it.

Nutty, delicious almond biscotti.

This is amazing. It has a grainy sweetness that really does bring to mind hay, wheat, etc. It's projection is not the best, or the intensity. However, it simmers quietly on the skin. Absolutely gorgeous. A good first step away from super sweet gourmands.

...I really love my Lann Ael... and I can't wait to wear the body lotion... still 2 days and i'll have my Lann Ael body Lotion again ;)))
It's sweet and lovely..

2nd review...

The more I wear this, the harder I scheme at ways to get my hands on more of it. It lasts and lasts and lasts on clothes. The first minutes are BEAUTIFUL to me. Soft, sweet, natural, and delicious. The sweet spice of hay and gentle nuttiness of cereal grains mixed with vanilla and cream. A touch of tart apple. Scrumptious, but mild. Not over the top like a teenage body spray. After a while, what's left is milky vanilla and sweet butter, noticeable only to those with the privilege of being close. Alas, after only 2 hours, I need another spritz. But, that's the draw of this stuff...I NEED another spritz. It's as addictive as my mother's spritz cookies. Now, if only I could find an extra, completely useless wad of money, amounting to exactly $85 plus tax and shipping.

I obsessed over this for almost 2 weeks, but couldn't justify the purchase. My little brother got me a 8ml decant for Christmas. It came today!
Sniffing the bottle, I was disappointed. It was...metallic. I spritzed once on my wrist, and out came sweet vanilla, crisp apple, and something like butter cookies, baked to a golden brown. The metallic note was still there, but faded after a few minutes...along with the whole rest of the fragrance.

This is SO FAINT. After 10 minutes, pressing my nose into my wrist brings me a *barely detectable* whiff of vanilla and brown butter. To get any enjoyment out of this, I'd have to reapply it all day, and with an $85 price tag, that just ain't happenin'. It's really a lovely fragrance, but it's longevity is Not At All.

This is not an oriental, this is gourmand. It smells, for me, too edible to actually wear this as a perfume as I would be afraid that someone will think that I work in a bakery and spend my days baking those lovely vanilla cookies. This smells exactly like vanilla cookies and sugar, there is the slight citrus touch, but mostly it's vanilla + hay which makes everything even more smell like freshly baked cookies :)

Lovely smell, brings back memories, very cozy, comforting and with amazing quality, but, really, I love to sniff it, but smelling THIS edible? No.

I simply love this fragrance. I got a sample and I decided to buy it after 2 days!
It smells so good and is a super gourmand vanilla with apple and cereals. It's really a fairy scent for me and I can easy immagine fairies wear this perfume!

I am in love with Lann-Ael,the time I put my nose on my skin the same time I travel to my childhood when we were eating those yummy biscuits called "Miranda",it also reminded my grandma who really love those biscuits.It's an uplifting perfume and also very long lasting.Those who love vanilla and gourmand perfumes should try it.

nice perfume,sweet,gourmand,a lot of vanilla.Lasts long.

I don't get all of the complexity that some folks are getting, but I definitely get the vanilla! First on, it is very foody - like cookie dough, yum. That's the only part that is "gourmand." The foodiness wears off and then you get a warm, creamy, vanilla musk scent. There's too much musk to be cereal. I don't get so much of the apple, although occasionally with wear, I catch hints of green sharpness - could be apple, I guess. Lasts pretty well on me, most of the day. To my nose, it is VERY similar to Coty's Vanilla Fields. I prefer this one, but whatever fits your pocketbook!

when I smell it, I understand, how can people leave this world for the secret hills of tuatha de dannan... bewitching!
(I never thought I would tell it about confectionary fragrance) O_o

It makes me (well, and my husband, too) smile and sniff-sniff-sniff all the time. Just what I need at frosty gloomy January.
PS. The longevity is pretty nice for niche products - about 6-8 hours.

I LOVE IT!
It's sweet but not nauseating, maybe because of apple.
In my opinion Lann-Ael smells exactly like my apple cake before baking: vanilla, lemon zest, fresh milk, butter, flour and apples.
Delicious and tender, it reminds me of childhood, when I used to cook with my beloved grandmother.
real notes are:

bergamot - lemon - tangerine - apple

jasmine - cotton flower

buckwheat - vanilla - milk

The body lotion is lovely, too!

Very cozy, yammy, eatable, sweet. For me is too much to wear it dayly but from time to time for mood increasing is wonderful! By the way it doesn't live for a long time, so it is easy to wear.

Received this as a free sample from BeautyHabit along with an order and am so glad to have it. CremeBavaroise described it well; not sure why this isn't categorized as a gourmand. Very yummy; I typically don't like gourmand fragrances. To me, the vanilla is the strongest note but it is not cloying/sickening as in other fragrances. Would wear this on a Monday as a quick pick-me-up.

Wonderful fragrance, soft and sweet, not overpowering. Smells like cereals with sweet vanilla milk, in my opinion, together with something fresh. Could be the hay, but I'm not sure. Not expensive, too...
