Absolutely! My daughter & I have a bread and butter business. She makes the breads, I make the pies and flavored butters. It is fun, but definitely not easy!
I LOVE how you describe the notes as you smell them rather than list them off of Fragrantica. I came here for YOUR impression. Some reviewers spend so much time listing all the notes and then move onto the next scent and I am left thinking... Wait a moment... What do YOU think about it? How does it wear on your skin?
At first, I was underwhelmed by PDM Althair but the layering combinations are endless. I've been having so much fun adding it to so many loves this fall (Amorous Intense (tri-layered with TK Coffee Addict), Tribeca, Plum & Cognac, even Yum Pistachio)...it's a staple now for sure. 😊
I love Poets of Berlin and every time I wear it I always get a compliment. People that want to buy it and say it too expensive I tell them to try Floral Street Wild Vanilla Orchid or buy the 20 mil bottle. It’s a love for me!!!❤And of course I love both of AI fragrances lol❤
I ran to your description box to see your lippie. I just knew it was MAC girl about town (clearly I was wrong) lol 😆 but now I'm inspired to whip her out. This looks gorgeous on you 🎉
Hi beautiful! Whew your lippie is just everything!! Def agree with Amorous Intense AND Ambrosia Imperiale, whewww! I feel the same way about the PDM men's line bottles. Some of the scents are amazing, but yea the bottles lol. I still haven't tried Althair, but I know I'll love that baby!
I sampled "Althair" and loved it, but wasn't sure it was "special" enough for the asking price. I was still debating, until Guerlain dropped "Feve Gourmande (Gourmand Coquin), and, now, that's the only fragrance that's on my mind.
I'm live in Philly and this week has been cold 🥶 I've worn Ambrosia Imperiate 3 days last week and it was phenomenal in that cold weather the banana and caramel was at the forefront
I wore Ambrosia Imperiale yesterday after letting it sit for a few weeks and it got betterrrrrrrr! I love how it’s sweet but somehow fresh. Masterpiece!
I love your list and I had to have Poets of Berlin after 2 decants and not being able to get it out of my mind. La Danza is so so good too! My other favorite is SDV--stunner! Althair is on my list but I'm headed to NYC over Thanksgiving and Scentbar is my first stop.
I love your gourmand selection, especially Lost Cherry, SDV, Poets Of Berlin and La Danza 😍😍. I need to pick up Ginger Biscuit even if it’s a 30ml🤔🤔. Stay gorgeous 🥰🥰
I’ve been exploring more gourmands lately. I have a few on your list and one of them is surely your fault 🤣🤣🤣 Love this lippie! Great video. Thanks for sharing 💙
The way you described Poets of Berlin made me get up and go spray it😂 it’s definitely a love for me. I wasn’t sure if would be so I bought the 20 ml but I am flying thru that little bottle so it’s time for the 100ml.
@@SimplyAyesha Hi. I like the opening, not a fan of the mid or dry down. BUT, I will let it macerate and revisit in a week or 2. I was thinking about layering it with a vanilla and Cherry Ambition.
I finally sampled althair and def plan to get it. Lord Cherry does not work for me. Lasts about 1 hour lol. Glad I sampled first. Carmina, I love however and it lasts on me. Great haul. ❤
I definitely agree with Lost Cherry, Spiritueuse Double Vanille and Ginger Biscuit. I have a Madeline sample on the way. In addition to these, I would add Blanche Bete, Pink Me Up, Rouge Saray, 100 Silent Ways, Flower Bomb Nectar, Tihota, Babycat, Minuit et Demi, and Venom Incarnate. Honorable Mention Feve Deliceuse Althair for a Guy
Hey Ayesha! You look vibrant! Very good list. I just ordered chocolate earth bcz it has a fennel note and I don’t have that note in my collection. I expect it will be in this category. Normally I’m straight up the more gourmandy the better. I think I’m done with navitus. I know gabby is coming out with a perfume and it prolly will be with them again sigh, I suspect banana for some reason. I’ll buy to support bcz I love her but I have three navitus I never reach for :(
Hi Ayesha another informative and interesting video from you, thanks☺️. I was in London at Jovoy earlier this year and tried La Danza. I really liked it but the saleswoman put me off when she pointed out that the Apple was very synthetic. I didn’t buy it but keep thinking about it and have seen other videos of yours where you rate it highly. What are your thoughts about the Apple being synthetic?
What a great video with my favorite scent profile! It did make me hungry though, so I am off to the kitchen to make myself a heartwarming, satisfying and flavorful plate of tarka daal and basmati rice (Indian dish, google it to see what it looks like, if you want to know). Have a great day!
😆 I actually don’t overspray that one! Also, over the past few months I’ve gotten so many new fragrances and have been testing so much that I haven’t put dents in anything recently.
I'll never understand how people view gourmand perfumes as juvenile. Creating pastries is very complicated! 😂
Too funny but true! 😂
Totally! Baking is an art form!
😂😂😂
😂 I agree!

I own most of the fragrances on your list and I absolutely love them 🎉❤💚
I just blind bought your Ambrosia, cant wait to try it💜
👊🏿💯🍰🎂🧁

Thanks for sharing those combos! I haven’t layered with it yet.
You got me with Ginger Biscuit. Fell in love. Thank you ❤

I haven’t tried Wild Vanilla Orchid, thanks for sharing that!
I ran to your description box to see your lippie. I just knew it was MAC girl about town (clearly I was wrong) lol 😆 but now I'm inspired to whip her out. This looks gorgeous on you 🎉
I remember Girl About Town! She was that girl back in the day, I need to see if I still have mine!
Couldn't agree with you more about the bottle matching the scent!
Loved your choices. I feel gourmand parfumes are comforting, feminine, and longlasting.
I totally agree! Thank you!
Ooh! I´ve ordered a sample a of Madeleine for a video, but haven't got around to film it yet and now I'm even more excited to test it out!
Lovely video! Love your shirt!! I agree… fake fireplaces sets a vibe too… 😆
😆 Thank you!
Yes I love Ambrosia Imperiale, wore so much this summer. Great list!
Hi beautiful! Whew your lippie is just everything!! Def agree with Amorous Intense AND Ambrosia Imperiale, whewww! I feel the same way about the PDM men's line bottles. Some of the scents are amazing, but yea the bottles lol. I still haven't tried Althair, but I know I'll love that baby!
I agree 100%!! I still need to get my nose on Amorous imperiale and sugar! My ginger biscuit would be here soon too!
Yesss! I hope GB is a love for you!
I sampled "Althair" and loved it, but wasn't sure it was "special" enough for the asking price. I was still debating, until Guerlain dropped "Feve Gourmande (Gourmand Coquin), and, now, that's the only fragrance that's on my mind.
I smelled Althair today and fell in love. I am so curious to see how Feve Gourmand compares to Gourmand Coquin.
I’m so glad they are bringing that back. I’m hoping it smells like the original! I have the OG and would love to start back sharing it more!

Nice!!! I love getting a fragrance when I’m traveling!
So here for a sophisticated gourmand!!! Watching sis 💖
Hey Gourmand Queen! Thanks!
You look gorgeous. That lip colour on you 😍. Great selection.
Thank you so much!
Happy Sunday Ayesha!! I enjoyed the video...TFS!!
Thank you!
@@SimplyAyesha you're welcome!!
Mercurial Cashmere, is a good one 💜💜💜
I agree! So unique!
Love that Ginger Biscuit
Can't wait to get my hands on Amorous Intense.
Such a great video! Althair is on my wishlist 🥰 I have tried many of these and own quite a few of them 😅
Thanks! Althair is beautiful and really easy to wear imo!
I love these choices. ❤❤
Althair is on my Wishlist
I love your gourmand selection, especially Lost Cherry, SDV, Poets Of Berlin and La Danza 😍😍. I need to pick up Ginger Biscuit even if it’s a 30ml🤔🤔.
Stay gorgeous 🥰🥰
Love the lipstick
Thank you!

Hey Ayesha!❤❤great selections!!😊
Hey! Thank you!
Ambrosia Imperiale, is so good
You've got some of my favourites here - Sweetie Aoud and Spiritueuse Double Vanille ❤
I should have known that you love Sweetie Aoud. That sounds like you!
I think you've influenced a whole bunch of us to get Ginger Biscuit. For me it will be available in Dubai mid November 😀
😆
Poets of Berlin, is a good one
Thank you for this video. I am interested in Frank Bocle(?). You influenced my purchase of Ginger Biscuit, picked it up during this VIB sale.😊
Thanks! I hope GB is working well for you!
@@SimplyAyesha Hi. I like the opening, not a fan of the mid or dry down. BUT, I will let it macerate and revisit in a week or 2. I was thinking about layering it with a vanilla and Cherry Ambition.

Lord Cherry does not work for me. Lasts about 1 hour lol. Glad I sampled first.
Carmina, I love however and it lasts on me.
Great haul. ❤
Thanks Stacy! Carmina is pretty!
I definitely agree with Lost Cherry, Spiritueuse Double Vanille and Ginger Biscuit. I have a Madeline sample on the way. In addition to these, I would add Blanche Bete, Pink Me Up, Rouge Saray, 100 Silent Ways, Flower Bomb Nectar, Tihota, Babycat, Minuit et Demi, and Venom Incarnate.
Honorable Mention Feve Deliceuse
Althair for a Guy
Totally agree with your additions!
Dior Feve is actually not discontinued as previously believed.
Hey Ayesha! You look vibrant! Very good list. I just ordered chocolate earth bcz it has a fennel note and I don’t have that note in my collection. I expect it will be in this category. Normally I’m straight up the more gourmandy the better. I think I’m done with navitus. I know gabby is coming out with a perfume and it prolly will be with them again sigh, I suspect banana for some reason. I’ll buy to support bcz I love her but I have three navitus I never reach for :(
I understand, I was kinda over Navitus too, but I picked up fragrances to support AI and ended up loving them. I’m also getting Sharida’s release!
Hi Ayesha another informative and interesting video from you, thanks☺️. I was in London at Jovoy earlier this year and tried La Danza.

I didn’t buy it but keep thinking about it and have seen other videos of yours where you rate it highly. What are your thoughts about the Apple being synthetic?
I love it and I think it smells quite natural like a sweet red apple!
Lost cherry is THE cherry scent for me along with Cherry Smoke
💯
Great upload 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Love your video. Ginger Biscuit was disappointing for me. Ambrosia Imperiale and Amorous Intense share the same dry down. IMHO you don’t need both…..
I love sweet perfumes 😊
Me too!
Great video! My sweet tooth is wide awake!
Mine is always awake. 😆 Thank you!
Good morning 🌞
Good morning!
Ginger Biscuit 🫚🫚🫚🫚🫚❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sugar by Franck Boclet smells like baby powder on me. The notes were so promising
Oh no! Sorry it didn’t work for you!
Hey Ayesha, let's see what sophisticated Gourmand scents made the list
Hey Latonya!
Can’t stop wearing Althair,Layer it with Bitter peach
SOTD Sweety Aoud layered with Encens Sauve
What a great video with my favorite scent profile! It did make me hungry though, so I am off to the kitchen to make myself a heartwarming, satisfying and flavorful plate of tarka daal and basmati rice (Indian dish, google it to see what it looks like, if you want to know). Have a great day!
That sounds delicious, I hope you enjoyed!
My dents in AI collabs are deep 😂😂😂 im surprised yours isnt
😆 I actually don’t overspray that one! Also, over the past few months I’ve gotten so many new fragrances and have been testing so much that I haven’t put dents in anything recently.
