Le Monde GourmandSantal Supreme Eau de Parfum - 1 fl oz (30 ml) - Sandalwood, Violet, Musky Perfume Notes

I was absolutely blown away by how spot on this fragrance was, usually with scents when they say something like "smells like strawberry milk" they're not actually talking about a 1:1 portrayal of that scent, there's always additional notes or things added in that I understand always serve a purpose but usually also have the effect of changing the scent profile from what was originally promised.That is definitely not the case with Fraise Fouette, it only smells like strawberry, sugar, and whipped cream. I was a bit leery of it and afraid that a fragrance with such a brief profile would have to be absolutely perfectly executed in order to be worthwhile, but my anxiety was unfounded because it is perfectly executed simplicity. Le Mond Gourmand proves you don't need ten billion notes jammed in a bottle to create a wonderful perfume.It is also exactly what I anticipated size wise for the money, I wasn't under the impression that $25 USD would be getting me a humongous bottle and I was right: it's an average 30ml bottle but it is still a good price for the amount of perfume. I also loved that the bottle is truly filled all the way to the very top where the metal is clamped around the opening to secure the atomizer. Some brands only fill it to about the top edge and the entire top is technically only filled with excess air, which feels like stinginess whenever brands do that so I appreciate a truly full bottle of fragrance. The projection of Fraise Fouette is also extremely good, I sprayed it roughly an hour ago now and I can still catch whiffs of it around myself just as I'm going about my day and others have commented on the sweet smell I have lingering around me. It has better projection than some of the more expensive perfumes in my collection, which is also a huge plus and proves brands can do well performing fragrances without charging ridiculous prices for it. I've also noticed the scent hasn't broken down with time either, with many perfumes as time goes on their notes will wear down to reveal additional layers like a similar strawberry perfume for example may open with a bright strawberry then after about a half hour you may only actually smell vanilla or sugar on yourself but none of the initial strawberry note. This perfume doesn't seem to do that, the simple formula retains all it's notes from the very first spray which I quite like and think is very unique given the current trend of having more complex fragrance profiles. It's also very wearable for every day, and today it's 86 degrees fahrenheit outside so I was able to test how the profile wears in high heat. I was nervous it would take on a more rancid quality, given how milk usually smells in heat, but I'm surprised that the outside temperatures don't seem to have any effect on the overall scent integrity. I am curious about how it performs in colder weather, but I'll have to wait several months to find out.Overall, this is an incredibly worthwhile purchase if you're searching for that perfectly sweet milky strawberry scent!

I got this perfume because either wanted to have scent that was reminiscent of the strawberry shortcake doll from the early 2000s, it doesn't smell exactly like it but I'd say it's pretty darn close! When you first spray the most noticeable top note is bubblegum and that fades into a nice summery strawberry middle note with a light creme scent that reminds me of cherry chapstick and after a few mins it's a warm strawberry creme. It's very fresh and feminine and the vanilla note is not too strong but just right. I usually don't like vanilla in Amy perfume but this one is just perfect. I'd recommend this one for any season and for anyone who enjoys a comforting fruity dessert perfume!

Smells good and is cute, but I don’t get strawberry from the scent it all. Smells like super sweet candy that is vaguely fruity. Still nice, but not the strawberry scent I was hoping for :(

I tried this fragrance out and was immediately charmed by how soft and sweet it is. It smells like strawberry milk—not quite the thick, creamy milkshake I was hoping for, but more like the delicate, pastel-pink kind you’d sip on a sunny afternoon. It’s light, airy, and has a gentle vanilla-sugar finish that makes it feel cozy and playful.For the price, it’s a lovely scent—definitely a fun addition to my collection. I’m not sure I’ll use it up super quickly on its own, but I’m excited to layer it with Yum Boujee Marshmallow to add a little extra depth and fluffiness. I think that combo might be a sweet-tooth dream come true.If you’re into soft, gourmand scents that don’t overpower, this one’s a great pick. Tried it out, enjoyed it, and looking forward to experimenting with it even more!

A disappointment. It really doesn’t give any semblance of sweetness or complexity. It just doesn’t smell nice. I keep going back to it and hoping the profile has evolved into something at least wearable, but nah. Oh well, some blind buys are a bust, I should have gone with the coconut. Will give this one away (if anyone will take it)EDIT: Raising a star. Coming back a month later and have to mention that the scent HAS improved since it was first opened. Still not "WOW" but it's moved from BAD to "FAIR". I will wear this now as a layering scent. Just one of those perfumes that needs a little time to evolve.

Wow! This smells exactly like Catholic mass, which is what I was hoping for. If you love the smell of Copal, you will love this. It’s rich and resinous, without being too smoky or heavy. It’s actually pretty light for an incense fragrance, which surprised me. The cypress note is there, but it’s not too strong or sharp. And I love the hint of vanilla sweetness in the dry down! Definitely a unisex scent, it smells great on both me and my husband.

I received this parfum Christmas 2023 and immediately fell in love with the scent. I've always loved vanilla. My then 31 year old daughter told me that this was the adult version, funny girl right? Well, she was absolutely correct! It's my go to fragrance for sure! I've received so many compliments on it.

I wish I could give 4.5 stars. The fragrance is nice - I love the toasted coconut fragrance, but that does fade away after a couple of hours leaving a nice vanilla scent. The bergamot is subtle. This is a nice fragrance. I would buy this again.
