My favourite gourmands are: 1. Xerjoff Italica (Genre Parfum makes an excellent dupe called Virtuoso) 2. Lattafa Nebras 3. . Genre Parfum Minnie More ( House of Sillage Minnie Dupe) 4. Dolce and Gabbana The Only One 5. Genre Parfum Ginger Biscuit 6. Genre Parfum Mello Vanillo ( Smells exactly like the EOS lotion you mentioned which is a dupe of Escapade Gourmande) 7. Al Rehab Coffee 8. Good Girl Supreme 9. Black Opium 10. Al Rehab Soft 11. Lattafa Khamrah 12. Aarmaf Italian Donna ( now discontinued 😢...better than the original)
I have Caramel Delight and a sample of Lira and I have worn them side by side and can confirm this. If anything Caramel delight was the tiniest bit sweeter and definitely lasted longer. 😊
@@ShenettaM. Oh... I've never tried layering that one... I don't layer much because I'm a little afraid of a possible disastrous result. But this Summer I did find a fun combo mixing Utopia Vanilla Coco and Banane Vanille. Felt like a banana and coconut cream pie.
I just bought my full size of Girl of Now. It is super syrupy delicious nutty tonka. Yum. It is almost toooo sweet - right on the edge. Definitely one of the sweetest in my collections
So many good ones... I enjoy Nebras, Yara, (Cruz del Sur 2, but year round). Lolitaland, Café Chantant, Lira, Italica, Amour de Cacao, Rose Extase, Vanilla 28...❤❤❤
New subbie here! I’m a collector of both Mens and women’s fragrances. Mostly men but I wear both! Some women’s fragrances really smell great on men! Anyway, In such a short time, I have fallen in love with your videos and personality! I enjoy your videos very much! I’m binge watching right now as we speak. I love gourmands by the way. Especially those coffee fragrances! Keep up the wonderful work!
Thanks for subbing and I’m so glad that you are enjoying the content! Have you smelled Akro Awake? It’s a GREAT coffee fragrance. Sweet, slightly citrus black coffee…just a fantastic perfume!!
Kismet angel is a great dupe for angels share for about $30. Excellent projection and longevity. It's made by Maison Alhambra who happens to be owned by lataffa
I have Angel's Share and Kismet Angel. I find the opening of Kismet a bit boozier, but thereafter it's hard to tell the difference! And boy, does it last... Best dupe of AS, IMO.
I just got khamrah a week ago and i really like it. It’s very spicy. I want to try french coffee next. The choco musk is nice but like you said it doesn’t last.
yes, chocolate musk is like mild chocolate but it just doesn't last at all. French coffee lasts really well. Let Khamrah sit for a while - it may shift a bit...mine was SUPER spicy and strong and after two months, it seemed to mellow out.
I don't feel that Nebras smells like Lira. Nebras smells like vanilla chocolate swirl cake with whipped cream on top...I don't smell any citrus in it. That said, we all smell something different!
Great video, Maria. 🤟🏻 I always receive compliments when I wear Sicilian Sweet-heart by Julianna’s Perfume. Love this dupe for Lira. Also love Italian Cello by Oakcha, another dupe for Lira. And love another Lira dupe, Caramel Delight by Dua. These 3 have excellent longevity on my skin. What can I say? It makes me happy smelling like an iced lemony pound cake. 😋 I’ve also picked up BBW Iced Lemon Pound Cake, but it smells more buttery cake than sweet lemony icing. Someday I’ll spray the original…
Great picks! Girl of Now is currently on my tray, it's also amazing paired with Kayali Yum Gelato and the Pistache body butter. I plan to pull Chocolate Queen out in October! I really need to get a sample of Sora Dora Broceliande, it sounds amazing. Edit to add: daukens arome Caramel Glace might be a good one to check out, it's supposed to be a dupe for Lira. I don't own Lira (yet) but am really liking the dupe from DA for now.
Delicious fragrances for me that I’m looking forward to wearing are carthusia Terra Mia, nebras, remember me by jovoy, golden cattalaya by Olympic orchids, Russian tea masque Milano, lavender and wool by Linda landenberg(mint choc chip), 71 sol de janeiro, rich warm addictive Zara, aoud vanille mancera, honey aoud montale, and the wonderful Rococo by merchant of Venice. . Need more chocolate scents! Xx
Right now I'm sampling to choose a new coffee fragrance. But of the perfumes I have, these are some that I'm most excited to pull out for Autumn: Kyse Mandorlo Cioccoloto, Khamrah, Casablanca, Organic Perfume girl's Forbidden Eden, Afnan Modest Deaux, Phlur Father Figure, and TF Cafe Rose
I don’t really like modest deux, it’s got a weird note in it that reminds me of white glue. Anyway I prefer La nuit tresor A La folie 😊 now Lira…. I absolutely love that one too!!!!! Got me a big bottle ❤
Good one Maria! I’m so in love with these types of fragrances. I just got HOO What a pop, whoa, that’s gourmandy type of fragrance. I love Khamrah it’s one of my favorites I have Angel Share and II love this one more!
I bought Khamrah last year & all I could smell was the cinnamon. But now it smells so much richer-I’m in love with it & will be wearing it all fall I’m sure!
@@QueenBee-xd1xk Well excuse me. I heard something different. A lot of people say it has an apple pie note so that's what I heard. Jaxbeautifulyou says it has an apple note, for example.
I was gifted the sora dora. I think at this point, you have to but them from their site Scent split and the scented both have samples you can purchase and I believe that they are both Canadian sites.
I saw the word “LICKABLE” and had to watch immediately. 😂
Same!
Lol me too 😂🙈

The DUA Brand Caramel Delight is a spot on dupe for Lira.
Thanks for sharing that!
I have Caramel Delight and a sample of Lira and I have worn them side by side and can confirm this. If anything Caramel delight was the tiniest bit sweeter and definitely lasted longer. 😊
Coco musk is excellent gourmand
I have never seen butter as a fragrance note. That’s a first for me!
I've seen it occasionally but not often!
My favorite Autumn gourmand fragrances are D&G The Only One, Lolitaland, Sofia, Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere, Princess, and Black Opium EDP😊
Oh, you just named really good ones... Princess, Lolitaland and Black Opium are ones I love.❤
@@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods they are sooo good! Lolitaland is so good layered with many of them.
@@ShenettaM. Oh... I've never tried layering that one... I don't layer much because I'm a little afraid of a possible disastrous result. But this Summer I did find a fun combo mixing Utopia Vanilla Coco and Banane Vanille. Felt like a banana and coconut cream pie.
@@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods that sounds delicious
@catherinebriseboiscatwoods...that sounds freaking amazing!
The evil laugh killed me😂
🤣
I just bought my full size of Girl of Now. It is super syrupy delicious nutty tonka. Yum. It is almost toooo sweet - right on the edge. Definitely one of the sweetest in my collections
It's yummy!
Shay & Ble Salt Caramel is a delicious gourmand scent and not super expensive for a niche house. I also love it for layering
I will have to sniff it!
So many good ones... I enjoy Nebras, Yara, (Cruz del Sur 2, but year round). Lolitaland, Café Chantant, Lira, Italica, Amour de Cacao, Rose Extase, Vanilla 28...❤❤❤
Fantastic list. I just tried Nebras and want it!

@@mariacollettlife I haven’t but I will check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
I love Hufflepuff by HOS. Yummy 😋
I want to smell that one!!
Kismet angel is a great dupe for angels share for about $30. Excellent projection and longevity. It's made by Maison Alhambra who happens to be owned by lataffa
I want to get kismet angel...I actually love it more than angels share.
I have Angel's Share and Kismet Angel. I find the opening of Kismet a bit boozier, but thereafter it's hard to tell the difference! And boy, does it last... Best dupe of AS, IMO.
Try the DUA sparkling Vanille! It’s a dupe of Franck Boclet Vanille and a dupe for lira that’s actually stronger than lira
Oh wow! That's good to know. I have a video coming out with a friend in a couple weeks on DUA...she has 80 and shares her top 18.
I just got khamrah a week ago and i really like it. It’s very spicy. I want to try french coffee next. The choco musk is nice but like you said it doesn’t last.

Paulina Shar just said Nebras by Lattaffa is a good Lira dupe. I have not tried Nebras but my curiousity is peaked. Lira is just soo good!
Nebras is an Eilish dupe 😉
Not lira dupe, it's an eilish dupe
I don't feel that Nebras smells like Lira. Nebras smells like vanilla chocolate swirl cake with whipped cream on top...I don't smell any citrus in it. That said, we all smell something different!
Can you pls do the best dupes to these perfumes ? 😊
Well, some are affordable already but I will see what I can do!

Love this video. Very timely.. I'm getting ready for Fall and, based on your video, Chocolate Queen is calling my name. 😊
It's seriously good!
Im confused by new york nights. It doesnt have banana in the notes. Why do you think you feel it?
Right now I'm sampling to choose a new coffee fragrance. But of the perfumes I have, these are some that I'm most excited to pull out for Autumn: Kyse Mandorlo Cioccoloto, Khamrah, Casablanca, Organic Perfume girl's Forbidden Eden, Afnan Modest Deaux, Phlur Father Figure, and TF Cafe Rose
What is the new coffee one that you are sampling??
@@mariacollettlife Follow and Followed
La nuit tresor is my treasure, my love.
This list is delicious 🤤 ❤
Thank you!
I don’t really like modest deux, it’s got a weird note in it that reminds me of white glue. Anyway I prefer La nuit tresor A La folie 😊 now Lira…. I absolutely love that one too!!!!! Got me a big bottle ❤
Lira is my fave out of all of those!!
Good one Maria! I’m so in love with these types of fragrances. I just got HOO What a pop, whoa, that’s gourmandy type of fragrance. I love Khamrah it’s one of my favorites I have Angel Share and II love this one more!
Thank you Maria for the wonderful video. You always make my day.
I’m so glad Kathleen 💕💕💕💕
Awesome video. Love Girl of Now. Smells like a snack.
totally!
Chocolate Queen is a HG. I don't know how they made it so delicious but not foody or heavy 😊
I know, it's just fantastic!
My favorite chocolate is Montale Chocolate Greedy
It's such a great chocolate fragrance!
I’ve heard some people say they like Unknown Pleasures more than Lira. I want to get a sample!!
Unknown pleasures is VERY beautiful!
Yummy 🤤 love all of these.
Me too!!
I got rid of Khamrah but I keep thinking about it so maybe I should try it again 🤔 I didn't like the akigalawood😢
I bought Khamrah last year & all I could smell was the cinnamon. But now it smells so much richer-I’m in love with it & will be wearing it all fall I’m sure!
I did the same. All I could get was strong masculine cologne.
I’m not a big fan of khamrah
It's a tricky one...I enjoy it but it's bordering on too masculine...that said, it smelled Uber feminine on my sister.
Khamrah doesn't have an apple note in it, according to online sources.
She said "it has cinnamon and nutmeg which gives it kind of an apple pie feel". She did not say it smells like Apple.
Yes, you are totally correct. It does give me that vibe though...kind of sweet, slightly tart with cinnamon.😀. Thanks for mentioning that though!
@@QueenBee-xd1xk Well excuse me. I heard something different. A lot of people say it has an apple pie note so that's what I heard. Jaxbeautifulyou says it has an apple note, for example.
A good dupe for lira is Zara sweet pastry in Paris
sweet pastry in Paris is very nice...dua has a great dupe of it as well.
Is there a dupe for chocolate queen ?
not that I know of.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Choco musk lasts all day on me but my bottle is a few years old
Thanks for weighing in about it.
Please where did you buy the sofa Dora perfume? I am in Canada
I was gifted the sora dora. I think at this point, you have to but them from their site Scent split and the scented both have samples you can purchase and I believe that they are both Canadian sites.
@@mariacollettlife thanks
Chocolate Queen smells like a Mounds bar to me, anyone else? 😆
I haven't smelled a mounds bar in years!!! Now I have to go get one 😜
In Denmark i cannot find Al Rehab at all😫
too bad!!!
Wearing girl of now shine today..don't have the original..
FIRST!
YUSSSSSS....you are the lickable founder.
😋
Lockable 😂😂😂😂
ALWAYS!!! 😛
Angels share is my fav gourmand although is mainly a boozy scent that cinnamon touch makes it so yummy and edible
It’s beautiful
