Perfume that smells like marzipan/almond?

Hi everyone, first time posting in this bit of MN!

Im yet to find a perfume I love, so on the hunt. I love sweet scents, so does anyone have any recommendations on almond/vanilla/marzipan scented perfumes? Ideally lower than £50 or anything on offer would be better! Thanks 😁

Hugo Boss Pure Purple is quite marzipan like.

Laura Mercier have an almond milk one which is lovely

Years ago, DD used to dab a drop of actual
vanilla essence behind her ears, as she liked the smell! I expect you could get the almond equivalent with a drop of Amaretto. Afraid I have no recommendations for real perfumes, they all go funny on my skin, so I wear Hilfiger after shave instead.

From memory I think Tom Ford Vanille Fatale is quite marzipanny. Lost Cherry is meant to be very marzipan but I haven't smelt it.

I adore almond perfume. I've just bought Tom Ford Lost Cgerry and its absolutely foul, in that over the top American perfume way. My absolute favourite is Serge Lutens Louve, which is roses and almonds

Laura Mercier Maron is like this

Elie Saab Girl of Now

Don't know, but 2 shots of amaretto would do the job Grin

Aqua di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia, Prada Infusions d'amande.

Both total marzipan.

I had Lost Cherry, nice but bit overrated and didn’t think it was much like marzipan.

Need to test the Hugo Boss one next time I’m in Boots.

Curious about the Amaretto- love the smell and the bottle- might see if I can get a miniature to try it as perfume 😀

I have a lush one that smells like snow cake their marzipan soap but can't see it on their website currently.

Ortigia do an almond one

PhillyJoe · 27/04/2023 22:31

Also came on to say Elie Saab Girl of Now. It’s really nice.

Almond by Monotheme Venezia is a nice straightforward almond. Look out for it at TKMAX

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 29/04/2023 16:44

Body Shop Vanilla is quite biscuity and sweet, but not almond exactly...

JustRingJoeDuffy · 29/04/2023 17:06

Its a body spray rather than a perfume, but Sol de Janeiros Brazilian Crush perfume mist is vanilla and almond scented. A little goes a long way ...

MujeresLibres · 29/04/2023 17:32

Clinique 'Happy' is very sweet smelling.

Apparently the bitter almond/cherry smell is the same scent of a decomposing body...
