Pain d'épices
Bernard Loiseau (2000)

This isn't even close to simple gingerbread! You can smell the musk when you take the cap off. When you spray it on, yes, the top is a ginger blast but mixed with musk and honey. This fragrance is completely animalic. There is nutmeg and ginger in the top then it dries down to a honey cake. Like if you baked a honeycake while having sex. There's a hint of lemon zest in it. A floral quality similar to frangipane. It is unlike any other fragrance I own. I would call it a floral gourmand. It is very complex and goes through stages. It is NOT like Papillon Salome but has that kind of sweet musky vibe to it all along. Salome meets honeyed ginger cake. Also, I hope this is safe to wear because these are parfums d'ambiance. They are meant to scent the home. They are room sprays that originally cost about 175 euros.

Gingerbread, pure and simple. I wear it as a fragrance and it doesn't fail, though it doesn't last all that long.
