In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Do not expect a thick bakery dessert here. Ulric de Varens Varens Sweet Coco Soleil captures the relaxed atmosphere of a warm beach day. The opening splashes crisp coconut milk that behaves more like cooling coconut water. Sunny tiare flower petals and raw sugar cane arrive quickly to create a familiar aftersun lotion…

Reviews →

Cuore by Grande opens with tart Clementine and dry saffron, quickly shifting into a dense heart of stewed plum, fig, and dark liquor. As the initial brightness settles, smoky incense and sticky toffee come forward. A heavy base of labdanum amber, tonka bean, and guaiac wood anchors the scent for chilly autumn evenings.
