Fragrantica - "It smells like cinnamon rolls!! this is a beautiful gourmand perfect for cold days. Sorce has became my all time favorite indie perfume house."
Fragrantica - "Warm, cozy, spicy sweet. You can really smell the chai. It’s very sweet but deep and rich. Really comforting scent"
Fragrantica - "This smell brings me back to February 2012 in suburban New York. The Giants are at the super bowl, my friends and i are all at our best friend’s house because our fathers’ are huge football fanatics alongside the fact that she and her brother have the biggest house out of all of our parents, we are excited because LMFAO are the halftime show artists, and our friend’s mom made the best cookies and cakes for us. the giants win; we stay up all night out of new york pride and triumph. the next day—i sleepily go over at my aunt and uncle’s house for an hour play date with my cousin and my aunt has her house smell like a sweet, cozy, and woody vanilla. i haven’t smelled that feeling in years until now. pure nostalgia that i yearn for and miss in a bottle."
Reddit: "This one crept up on me. At first I thought it was nice, albeit a bit fancy for me. The more I experimented with it, I absolutely fell in love. I like to spray this on my pillow before bed. SMM has a mellower vibe to it (maybe it’s the marshmallow lol). If MM is sitting in a field, SMM is lounging in bed with your softest blankets, eating fresh lavender cookies while someone bakes downstairs.Even though they’re both cozy lavender scents, they smell so different to me! Honestly, they feel like.. maybe cousin scents. I definitely feel they’re different enough to justify owning full sizes of both. They both get a 5/5 from me!"
Reddit: "Initial Sniff: Very alcohol heavy cool spiced scent with gourmand vanilla. Very strong permanent marker type smell but this fades very quickly and transforms into a warm cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg spiced drink. Drying Down: I find this so complex and transformative, entering various stages and having multiple pops of interest. At one moment this will focus more heavily on the realistic chai spices, leaning more cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg as the forefront. At other times this feels like a warm, comforting baked cookie: warm and fresh out of the oven. Every now and then I'll get sniffs of something comforting like a sweet fuzzy lavender laced blanket on a cold day, but before it leans too floral, it sways back into the warm vanilla, chai, cookie realm. The vanilla steamed milk is very subtle and I wouldn't categorize this as lactonic heavy at all and the marshmallow adds to the "comforting" feel. I think a gourmand lover would enjoy this as an atmospheric experience because it doesn't quite feel like you're a walking baked treat but rather as if you're in a cozy place enjoying one. Many Hours Later: Longevity and throw are both higher than average for me. The complexity does reduce over time and all notes become a bit more homogenous and swirled together. As such, this can register a little more on the perfumey side than gourmand with the later hours of wear and with the lavender blending with the cookie, chai spices, vanilla and milk."
Fragrantica: "When I say this smells good. This smells so damn good. It’s a spiced cookie dipped in warm lavender milk. Sweet with just enough spice. It’s gourmand enough to want to eat, but not juvenile in any way. It’s immaculately done. It’s almost as if Guerlain feve gourmande and Bianco latte had a hip, spiced little baby. This is one I’ll keep in my collection as long as possible.
Fragrantica: The name is spot on, this one really is magical. There's something I don't love in the opening, but the drydown is so unbelievable that it's worth the ride.
Despite being super gourmand and sweet, there's something in there that lightens it up and makes it not heavy. I wish I could add this scent to laundry so my blankets smell cozy in the winter."
Fragrantica: "Sugar, spiced tea and steamed milk is really all i get from this but it’s SO delicious and creamy and warm i can’t get enough of it. it smells like having the coziest dreams while laying on a warm bed of fluffy marshmallows. just soft sweet gourmand heaven. i just wish it lasted longer."
Fragrantica: "This opens with lavender that's fresh, slightly floral, dusted with powdered sugar. The scent develops with warm chai spices and the smell of buttery cookies. As the scent continues you get a marshmallowy fluffiness and a creamy milkiness. Overall this is a warm, slightly spiced, milky gourmand scent with hints of lavender freshness. Just lovely."
Fragrantica: "This is such a rich and heavenly gourmand. It smells faintly of a milky fresh chai latte dusted with lavender, and there's a tray of sugar cookies that just came out of the oven. Throughout the day, the lavender fades, but the lactonic slightly spicy and coziness remains. It's been exactly 7 hours of wearing it, and I can still smell it on my clothes. It's definitely faint now, but the longevity is great. The sillage is definitely a bit more than arm's length, but maybe not quite six feet. Very cozy winter gourmand and one of my new favorites!"
Fragrantica: "This grew on me slowly and now it’s one of my favorite scents of all time. This smells like you’ve foraged through a winter ridden forest for eternity and are about to get frostbite - but you stumble across a cabin, with a grandma looking through the window, and takes you in. She’s very warm and hospitable - and makes you rest on a cozy warm couch, topped with a weighted blanket. She brings you over a tray that contains a steaming hot mug of masala chai, complimented with marshmallows melting into the drink - followed with oozy cookies that were baked with HEAPS of cookie butter, and dried stems of lavender on the side to compliment the gourmand aromas with a relaxing one."
