Which Should You Buy?
A budget take on Mind Games Sissa. The toasted-sesame-and-coumarin opening melting into warm milk, tonka and vanilla captures the original's cosy fresh-bread gourmand; this dupe loses some of Sissa's extrait richness and the labdanum depth, wearing softer and shorter.
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a fluffy, nostalgic dream of marshmallows and candy floss, a gorgeous modern take on powdery gourmands. Others? They're left with a synthetic mess, baby powder, or even hairspray. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The warm toasted-sesame, milk and vanilla gourmand is cosiest in autumn and winter and feels too rich for hot summer days.
Occasions
A snuggly, edible gourmand made for relaxed casual and cosy daily wear, with enough warmth for an intimate evening or date.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet and musky accords, alongside a general community consensus of being 'airy' and 'soft' yet potentially strong, make it ideal for casual wear and dates. It could be too sweet or attention-grabbing for a formal event or the office, and certainly not suitable for sport.
