Marc Jacobs’s latest perfume is a glamorous gourmand scent Upon first spritz, the immediate scent notes I detected were almost almond-like, owing to the amber and vanilla.
I’ve never experienced a perfume that has developed in such distinct layers like this one, but I enjoyed the journey through the various top, heart and base notes.
I was surprised by this, as the perfect elixir doesn’t feature almond notes directly, even though the original perfect EDP does.
Then orange blossom came through with a slight soapy accord and, once everything had died down, I was left with what I would describe as a clean vanilla that’s ever so slightly earthy.
Regarding its staying power, I was impressed by the fact the scent remained potent on my wrists even after several hand washes.
