Description
Choux Choux by LIIS is a delightful gourmand fragrance that evokes the comforting aroma of a freshly baked pastry. It opens with a bright, zesty burst of citrus peel and fresh cream, creating an inviting and airy introduction. As the scent develops, it melts into a heart of sweet vanilla beans, luscious caramel, and a subtle hint of salt, reminiscent of a delicate choux à la crème. The fragrance settles into a warm, soft embrace of creamy sandalwood, with whispers of cocoa and mocha, providing a sophisticated and lingering finish. This scent is a whimsical and rich treat, perfect for those who appreciate a sweet yet refined gourmand experience. Perfumer: Jérôme Epinette
