What wearers say
“So Sand+ Fog’s version of this is Vanilla Cake, it smells like plastic to me. I saw the plastic comments on here too. Fire at Will smells like plastic to me too. I wonder if Gourmand Escapade smells like plastic too to many people?”
“Even though it initially has a vanilla/biscuit scent, it turns into some kind of plastic smell that bothers me. This plastic note ruins everything, at least for me. I have Eclaire, Eclair Pistachio, and Riiffs Noor, and I don’t smell this kind of plastic in them. I had to buy this perfume because of all the good reviews, but like someone said here, Nusuk Falak is just overhyped. Also, the projection is very bad, it disappears after a few minutes. Very disappointing.”
“i really like this fragrance, but not enough to purchase a whole bottle (unless i got it for a good price lol). the reason being is the longevity and projection is just not good sadly. otherwise it's a nice, very sweet biscuity-caramel vanilla. lasts a little longer on skin but non-existent on clothing. it makes for a great skin scent if that's what you're going for. when i first sprayed it it smelled like playdoh lol but that disappeared after a day. i feel like i could make it work if i was an over sprayer but i like spraying once or twice and going on with my day.”
