Perfume that smells like marzipan/almond

Hi, I am asking on behalf of my sister.

Are there any perfumes or body sprays that smell like marzipan/almonds?

Thanks in advance.

Also, look out for Frangipani perfumes as it's a very similar smell to almond. Lush does one, but I haven't smelt it myself to comment on it.

ilovecharlie · 07/11/2020 15:15

Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I will email this thread to my sister.

It's strange L'occitane haven't produced a perfume to match their other almond products including the wonderous Almond shower oil.

@LadyEloise the almond shower oil is often mentioned here on Mumsnet. I've not tried it, maybe I should.

Acqua di Parma Mandorlo is precisely what she wants ❤️

Try Elie Saab Girl of Now.

Another vote for Lost Cherry. Perfume parlour do an ok version of it which I find more almondy on me ( it's called Astray Fruit on PP)

Jean Paul Gaultier - MaDame.

Deffo almond/marzipan vibes. Always reminded me of the smell of play doh.

Lucked · 07/11/2020 17:22

Oh I always have something almondy the kids always love it on me.

Do try it and the Aveeno Creamy oil ( almond ) lotion.

EdithWeston · 07/11/2020 17:51

Not perfume, but I have the body lotion from thus range and it's heavenly

Just remembered I tried Poison Girl last summer in the airport and it is even closer to marzipan than hypnotic poison.

YSL Cinema has an almondy vanilla smell

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 07/11/2020 18:56

now I don't think that hynotic poision or Vanderbilt are almondy....I do have Gloria Vanderbilt though, and love it.

Anyone that likes that may also like Insolence by Guerlain which is like Vanderbilt but more violetish and much longer lasting on me.

@ilovecharlie

I remember my mum using Vidal Sassoon shampoo back in the 80's. That was really marzipanny, mum would hide it from us girls 😁
I used to use that and loved the scent. I wish I could buy something now that smelt the same.

You might find one by looking on here, or whether some that have been mentioned are a goer.

I used to buy an American one- I want to say bed bath and beyond but that’s not it! It definitely has the name bathroom in it.
