Coeur de Noisette Sinfonia di Note for women

I have used up my samples from Lucky Scent and I think this is a great fragrance. It is unique. The hazelnut note is creamy and is the first note you smell, then comes the coconut which does smell like vanilla sugar. I like this fragrance very much. At the end of the day I can still smell it on my neck and my collar. It's not overpowering and rides close to the skin. If people get close to you they will smell it. There's a touch of a tea spice, and reminds me a little of dulce de leche. This company knows what they're doing. A+! I need to get a bottle of this refreshing juice.

Just delicious! First impressions - Christmas baking... nuts, lots of!!!, vanilla (ok, there isn't any vanilla here apparently, so maybe it's the coconut. Or maybe it is both :-)), spices, candied citrus peel, maybe even hint of the tree that has scented the whole house...and of course sugar! Powdered - or icing - sugar, that sort so fine, that is floating in the air... Wonderful and in spite of my description, on my skin it's not completely foody fragrance...but hey, it's so nice, that even if it was... - no, I wouldn't mind smelling like a Christmas cookie, but it doesn't stay that way anyway. Only a few minutes later as it develops, it is suddenly almost fresh, almost summery as it continues on a woody/nutty note with a hint of flowers and sweetness that somehow seems to be "candied" type of sweetness, very natural. Very, very nice. I would start seriously think about purchasing this, but the lovely scent last only very briefly on me. Half an hour later I struggle to smell it at all.

The coconut at first is so sweet and sugary it smells a bit too much, too fake. This quickly dies down to a soft creamy hazelnut with a hint of spices, it smells like honeyed nuts. I don't really get flowers, altough I can already smell the amber in the base and I've only been wearing for 5 minutes. I do agree about the smokiness the reviewer below mentions, I think it's from the amber, or maybe the hazelnut wood is giving the smokiness. It's nice. I am glad the top notes don't last long as I nearly had to scrub this off. Still not FBW for me though.

If I ever had to choose one single fragrance I would like to save for future generations, I really think I might go for that one.

I have not tried other creations from this perfume house, Coeur de Noisette is so unique and delicious, that I really think I will see about odering some samples soon.

Coeur de Noisette is, as the name says, all about hazelnuts. Specially at this time of year, with snow and fog outside (as a matter of fact, the visibility outside as I write is some 2 metres at most), it is probably one of the best fragrances to wear. Incredibly cozy, warm, sweet, but sweet in a quite interesting way- very, very elegant, intense, dark. It is not overpowering, but it is strong enough.

So, let's get to the point, shall we. CdN starts off with sweet coconut before it gets to the most delicious hazelnut phase. It actually smells a bit like hot chocolate with hazelnut infusion, but has got some smoky character to it. Then you get a kick of spices, just gorgeous, I simply cannot get enough. I inhale, inhale, and want more. It fells like opening a box of luxurious chocolates. As you unwrap the box, the smell of goods gets more and mroe intense. In the same way, the amber and woods increase on the smokiness and sweetness.

The whole fragrance has also this slightly powdery touch to it- a bit similar to that of Bois Farine by L'Artisan Parfumeur, except that is is sweetier and nuttier. An exquisite elegant gourmand fragrance I would say!
