Love at first sniff. I was already keen on the notes, but when I saw the entire L’Art & la Matière collection, I was completely won over. It opens with a powerful cacao note with plenty of rum. As it dries down, it becomes sweeter yet remains far from cloying, as the name might suggest. On skin, it settles into tonka bean with rum. Totally unisex.
I’m not sure if it resembles Gourmand Coquin. It’s a refined cacao fragrance, sweet but with that bitter, spiced-smoky twist. To my nose, the florals and rum round everything off without dominating. The trail is soft yet lasts forever, clinging to skin until the next day. Pure quality, nothing synthetic. Due to the scent, it’s not for every day; it’s best enjoyed on special occasions.
I didn’t know about Gourmand Coquin, so I tried it from scratch and absolutely loved it. It launches with an immediate powdered cacao, less dusty than Chocolate Greedy. The rum is very present, surrounded by spices. The rose doesn’t dominate, but adds an elegant floral touch. It’s gourmand, yet not cloying, with a boozy and spiced twist.
Feve Gourmande is dry, natural, boozy, and smoky cacao. In the dry-down, a subtle woody note. Everything feels realistic and gourmand, like brewing a potion in an old wooden kitchen. The liquor and smoke give it dark, mystical, and elegant nuances without losing its gourmand character. It feels warm, dense, and cosy. Ideal for a sweet winter night outdoors. At home, it feels a bit heavy with an enormous trail lasting over 10 hours. My partner, who likes sweets, finds it a bit cloying. I wore it yesterday and it’s still there today. It’s a top-quality fragrance. Not for daily wear, but perfect when I crave those vibes, so I’m happy with the split. I don’t know if it resembles Gourmand Coquin as I haven’t tried it, though I’ve heard it does.
