Le Monde Gourmand Le Jumbo Chai Épicé Eau de Parfum – 2.5 fl oz (75 ml) – Woody, Spicy, Warm Perfume Notes

Sparkling Sweetness
This was a total blind buy for me. I’ve done to the stores, sniffed all the things, and bought blindly online.Majority of the time, I’m left disappointed with blind buys, or even based off of reviews, the descriptions from others would leave me wanting…The “ fluffy musks “ in this has a subtle sweet vanilla base note… it’s not musky at all, which I actually appreciate, since perfumes with musks in them does not mix well with my body chemistry and often tends to be over powering for my personal taste.The beginning note opens with a light and fresh scent of the lychee… it’s sweet, but still fresh and the hint of the rose notes makes it crisp at the same time. I’d say the rose is the second note you’ll notice. It doesn’t over power the sweetness of it.This is not an Uber sweet scent. It doesn’t make you sick to your stomach that it’s so sweet. The lychee and rose balance it out very nicely.Picture a lychee martini with a delicate light coating of pink rock sugar on the rim, so with the lychee, each sip you take, gets balanced out with the sugar…Just one spray on my wrist, and the scent lingers but it’s still subtle. Something that would make someone lean in closer for a deeper whiff. I know my husband kept sniffing me… he loves gourmand scents and anything sweet. I’d say you could spray this liberally if you wanted to. But a few spritzes should suffice. It definitely draws you in closer, and it isn’t rudely overbearing to others around you.The bottle is simple, cute and classy all together, and I love that this is vegan friendly, as I’m trying to stay away from heavy perfumed oils that tend to break my skin out.It’s also small enough to throw into my purse without it being heavy or bulky…I think it’s also fairly reasonable in price, and whether it’s summer, spring or fall… day or night, this is something I’d wear for any reason and any time… it for sure gives a very soft feminine feeling, flirty?? Yes, because it will draw someone in closer to sniff you and inquire.. so overall, I love it and for it being a blind buy?? I’m so gals this time it worked in my favor!!

Fantastic scent, but doesn’t last
I ordered this after seeing it in an advertisement for vanilla scented things. It smells fantastic! It is warm and sweet, really goes well with my body chemistry. The only thing I would change is somehow make it last longer. It really only lasts for 2 hours or so before completely disappearing. If you press your face right up against my skin you can smell it for a few more hours. So this is a multiple sprays a day reapplier!Overall, I love the scent.

Smells good, but not as good as the sample unfortunately
I bought this because I initially purchased a discovery set in a store and LOVED the smell of the crème de vanille. Part of the reason I loved it so much was because it didn’t feel like your typical vanilla scent. It felt more fresh and a little bitty hint of floral. I purchased the full size expecting this, and unfortunately i feel like it’s not the same scent profile. It still smells good, and others like the scent on me. But the full size bottle I got doesn’t smell the same as the sample. It also feels like it had way more of an alcohol smell at the top every time I spray it on me. I have allergies, so it makes me sneeze when I spray it.If you are planning on purchasing this scent based on an initial test from a sample you bought in store, I would be prepared for the possibility of this happening.—-edited: I’m editing my initial review and removing one star because I went back to ulta to smell the sample and compared it with what I have. They definitely don’t smell the same!! The one in stores is much softer and like I originally remembered it. Idk, but the one being sold here isn’t sold by the actual brand too so I’m not sure if we are getting the authentic scent folks.

My favorite perfume in the smaller size and purchased this size for more product but unfortunately it was damaged and I didn’t receive it 🙁
