Okay, so first, sorry for radio silence over the past few days – I had a terrible reaction to some medication I was prescribed and basically pole axed for five days. Anyway, back now but I’m still needing to take it a bit easy so posts might be less frequent for the next week or so.
On to Nina Ricci Les Gourmandises de Luna. First, I need to say that you will have to be very fond of gourmandes to enjoy this because this is all of it and a bit more besides.
The notes are described as pear granite, pink grapefruit cream, coconut milk, white peony, Sri Lankan sandalwood and caramel.
What I get is caramel, caramel and a bit more caramel. This one has no shame at all in being the desert trolley mash up and just to drive that home, the bottle is adorned with ice cream sprinkles.
Nina Ricci Les Gourmandises de Luna is the freakshake of fragrances – but look how people love those! If you love that avalanche of sugar – followed some long time after by a tiny bit of flower (peony I suppose) – then you will love this. It has a sister gourmande fragrance – Les Gourmandises de Nina – in a pink sprinkles bottle with heart notes of Maracuja Milkshake and Pina Colada. Goodness!
It’s HERE (John Lewis) for £46.
Non Aff Link is HERE.

So sorry to hear you have been poorly Jane. Get well soon! Xx
Thank you Chrissie!
Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling unwell, glad you’re feeling better. This perfume sounds way too OTT for me but I’m sure plenty of others will enjoy it. My perfume tastes have changed so much over the years, when I was young I would probably have loved it. I used to practically marinate myself in Obsession back in the 80s but I prefer fresher scents these days, I find it quite curious how my tastes have changed so much.
thank you! actually I forgot to put that by the very end of the day, it started to smell lightly floral and the sugar was far less. But I had to wait a long time!
Get well soon x

I’m really pleased to see you back, take care and hope you’re fully recovered soon. Xx
Thank you so much Becky x
I presumed radio silence meant you were off on a nice holiday somewhere. Sorry to hear that’s not been the case Jane! Hope you’re back to full strength soon xCx
thank you so much x
I love Nina Ricci and gourmand perfumes but not really sugary or sweet scents. Hmm. I’ll have to sniff it to see if I like it or not. Get well soon! Xx
Wishing you well soon Jane.
