Given this glowing endorsement and my love for all things chai, I was more than ready to give this one a spritz. It\u2019s so warm and uniquely inviting: musky blonde woods and sweet fig bring out a familiar and sweet scent profile, while lily of the valley and violet add a sensual nuance that lingers on the skin. It reminds me more of chai-flavored sweets or ice cream rather than the actual drink, thanks to a brown sugar scent that wafts up as you get closer to the skin. For a $25 price tag, the hold is excellent. I can see why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordstrom.com\/s\/chai-epice-eau-de-parfum\/7535755\">Chai \u00c9pic\u00e9<\/a> comes highly recommended for a sexy night out; it envelops you in an intimate, desirable scent bubble that lures you right in.\u201d <em>\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/venus.onthego\/\">Venus Wong<\/a>, senior writer<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Shop <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordstrom.com\/s\/chai-epice-eau-de-parfum\/7535755\">Nordstrom<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div><title>DashDividers_1_500x100<\/title><\/div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordstrom.com\/s\/le-monde-gourmand-pistachio-brule-eau-de-parfum\/7535744\">Le Monde Gourmand Pistachio Br\u00fbl\u00e9e Eau de Parfum, $25<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.habitaliaimobiliaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/11880026.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordstrom.com\/s\/le-monde-gourmand-pistachio-brule-eau-de-parfum\/7535744\">Pistachio Br\u00fbl\u00e9e<\/a> serves up a smorgasbord of edible notes, from pistachio crumbs to moreish vanilla. It\u2019s an understated gourmand that leans fresher, thanks to a splash of milk. There\u2019s a clean, just-shampooed-hair quality to it that leaves me feeling uplifted and refreshed throughout the day \u2014 never sticky or overwhelmed, like many sweet, gourmand scents tend to do. Fans of pistachio perfumes will naturally want to compare it to the OG nutty scent: <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fkayali-by-huda-yum-pistachio-gelato-33-edp-intense-P505421\">Kayali\u2019s Yum Pistachio Gelato<\/a>. Le Monde Gourmand\u2019s take is lighter and crisper, while Kayali\u2019s is richer, thanks to a glug of rum and a handful of roasted hazelnuts. That said, it doesn\u2019t last quite as long, but at this price point, I don\u2019t mind topping up as often as I like. The nifty bottle also slips easily into most of my handbags, which makes reapplying it so easy.\u201d<em> \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jacqueline_kilikita\/\">Jacqueline Kilikita<\/a>, beauty director<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Shop <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordstrom.com\/s\/le-monde-gourmand-pistachio-brule-eau-de-parfum\/7535744\">Nordstrom<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div><title>DashDividers_1_500x100<\/title><\/div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordstrom.com\/s\/creme-vanille-eau-de-parfum\/7535741\">Le Monde Gourmand Cr\u00e8me Vanille Eau De Parfum, $25<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.habitaliaimobiliaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/11880027.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not really a vanilla perfume girlie, but I spray <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordstrom.com\/s\/creme-vanille-eau-de-parfum\/7535741\">Cr\u00e8me Vanille<\/a> on repeat on days I\u2019m working from bed. Why? It\u2019s a straightforward, clean scent that reminds me more of freshly showered skin than the sweet spice. The initial blast is a tad on the alcoholic side, but once it settles, the beautiful mix of apricot, jasmine petals, and amber feels like a familiar embrace. To take a page from Marilyn Monroe and Chanel No. 5, I love wearing this cozy scent when I\u2019m lounging in bed with not much else on; I\u2019m convinced that it makes me take better naps.

It has a rich, nutty warmth thanks to sweet vanilla and bitter praline, like a vanilla soft serve rolled in peanuts. But the burst of citrusy bergamot gives it a clean, fresh edge, making it so wearable. As it dries down, it becomes soft and intimate \u2014 truly the ultimate skin scent. I think it\u2019s my favourite of the bunch, and it lasts a little longer than the others I\u2019ve tried.
